Bandit Pâtisserie was founded in 2013 by Kristen Hall, who began the business by baking in her home and delivering pastries to neighbors in Crestwood. The bakery is located in downtown Birmingham, Alabama, where it operates as a retail storefront and production space for its signature French-inspired, small-batch pastries. The company does not roast its own coffee but instead partners with local roaster Domestique Coffee to supply its beverage program. The bakery is documented for its rigorous three-day lamination process used to create its croissants and for its seasonal menu that blends classic French techniques with Southern influences.
