Known for their baked goods catering to different dietary restrictions, Mason Dixon Bakery & Bistro makes a mean gluten-free (and dairy-free-optional) king cake. This one is perfect for those who can’t enjoy a traditional king cake—and even for those who can. Let’s be honest, it rivals the “real thing.”

• Location: 415 Church St NW, Huntsville, AL 35801
• Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 7AM-4PM

3. Gourmet Goodies in Daphne

Known for both their sweet and signature savory king cakes, Gourmet Goodies in Daphne sells out quickly this time of year. Made with crawfish, their savory cake is a sell-out, award-winning and unique variety.

• Location: 1539 US-98, Daphne, AL 36526
• Hours: Monday-Friday 10AM-5PM

4. The Heavenly Donut Co. in Birmingham

If you’re looking for a more manageable king cake, The Heavenly Donut Co. in Birmingham is your spot. Their specialty king cake donut is as delicious as it is adorable, and you’ll want to grab some other flavors while you’re there too.
