Warehouse Bakery & Donuts

Warehouse Bakery & Donuts operates out of 759 Nichols Avenue in Fairhope, Alabama, inside a space that lives up to its name with an industrial, from-scratch approach to baking. Everything on the menu is made in house, from the pastry case to the sandwich board, and the shop has built a following well beyond its donut case.

The donut and pastry lineup includes a Berries ‘n’ Cream croissant, layering fresh berries and cream into a flaky, laminated dough, alongside a banana nut bread baked in house. Cookies and brownies round out the sweets case, with gluten-free versions of both available for guests avoiding wheat. A home-blended granola gives the bakery a grab-and-go option that leans lighter than the donut case.

The kitchen extends well past pastry. A Buddha Bowl offers a lighter lunch option, while the chicken gyro comes dressed with a homemade tzatziki sauce made in house rather than store bought. The chicken muffuletta sandwich takes a Gulf Coast classic and builds it around a homemade olive salad, and the fried chicken sandwich gets finished with a sweet chili-lime cilantro sauce that sets it apart from a standard fried chicken sandwich.

On the drink side, the bakery mixes dirty sodas that customers can mix and match for five dollars, plus coffee drinks including an iced Vietnamese coffee topped with cold foam. The combination of scratch-made sandwiches, a full pastry case, and a soda and coffee menu means the shop functions as a bakery, coffee shop, and lunch spot all in one storefront.

The bakery is a hands-on operation, with staff like baker Bryleigh working the pastry case and team members such as Tayler returning to the shop after time away, the kind of detail that points to a workplace regulars and staff both stick with. That continuity shows up in the consistency of the case from one visit to the next.

Beyond daily counter service, Warehouse Bakery & Donuts takes online orders for pickup and offers catering for events, along with use of the space itself as an event venue for private gatherings. The shop has also shown up in the community beyond its own storefront, taking part in the 2026 Bald Eagle Bash, an event supporting local wildlife and area restaurants.

Anyone looking to place a custom order or ask about catering can reach the bakery directly at 251-928-7223 or by email at sales@warehousebakeryanddonuts.com. Located on Nichols Avenue in the heart of Fairhope, the bakery has become a regular stop for locals looking for something made from scratch, whether that means a donut, a sandwich, or a full catering order for a private event.

The scratch-made philosophy shows up in the small details as much as the headline items. The tzatziki on the gyro and the olive salad on the muffuletta are both made in house rather than sourced from a supplier, and the gluten-free versions of the cookies and brownies mean guests avoiding wheat are not limited to the plainest option on the shelf. The home-blended granola gives the bakery a packaged, take-home item that extends beyond the daily pastry case.

Nichols Avenue has become something of a food-and-drink corridor in Fairhope, and Warehouse Bakery & Donuts anchors its stretch with a menu that moves from breakfast pastries through lunch sandwiches into dirty sodas and specialty coffee without ever feeling like three separate businesses stitched together. That range, paired with the shop’s willingness to cater private events and rent out its own space, has made it as much a fixture for weekday coffee runs as for weekend celebrations.

The mix-and-match dirty soda program in particular reflects a trend that has taken off well beyond Fairhope, and having it sit on the same menu as scratch-made sandwiches and gluten-free sweets gives the shop a spread that appeals to a wider range of visitors than a bakery focused purely on donuts. It is that breadth, from a Vietnamese iced coffee with cold foam to a fried chicken sandwich finished with chili-lime cilantro sauce, that keeps the shop from being defined by any single item on the menu.
