4 Birds Bakery

I everything about this place. I've had the joy of meeting the owner, Jenna, a few times. Her husband Steven makes delicious, unique breakfast sandwiches at the Garfield Park Farmers Market during the summer.The desserts are always high quality and yummy, and I have to stop myself from buying everything! They also have a good amount of GF options, which makes me happy for my GF friends.As other Yelp reviews have said, their products are available at a variety of places around town, Market Wagon and at their space near Mass Ave and College Ave.

All around Indy, I've seen 4 Birds Bakery goodies posted up at farmers markets, coffee shops and the like. I've eaten my fair share of cookies from 4 Birds Bakery purchased at these various establishments, but today was the first time visiting their bakery/retail shop on Fulton Street. It's a small and modest joint. To be honest, you'll probably fare best if you order online and visit their shop to pick up. That way, you are ensured that you'll get the things you want. I visited for a Yelp event (and got a cookie butter donut focaccia), but I also left with a loaf of milk bread. The last one! How lucky. I used this milk bread later in the day for the most delicious French toast I've ever made. It's a giant loaf that makes at least 16 slices. I also tasted some 4 Birds spent grain crackers, made from the spent grains that Guggman Haus Brewery uses to make their beer. The crackers were delicious -- dotted with sesame seeds and poppy seeds -- and they made me search up recipes for how I can make my own spent-grain crackers. I love that, with just two of their items, 4 Birds inspired me in my own kitchen. The parking situation here is a little rough, but I managed to find a place to park easily when I visited on a weekday. The owner and people who work here are super friendly and passionate, which doesn't surprise me because I can taste that dedication in their creations.

A few notes first...1. Yes, you're in the right spot even though it looks like you're parking in an alley2. Ring the doorbell3. Get ready to order 1 of everything!I had so much trouble deciding that I legit ordered 2 of each cookie. The cranberry cinammon makes you feel healthy while you cheat . And the chocolate chip is the best I've had to date

I didn't know we could walk in and buy baked goods! You can also order online (to make sure you can get what you want). I can't say enough good things about their cookies and I was excited to learn about their crackers and how they were created. I also didn't know they had candles (who doesn't want their house to smell like an amazing bakery??)Definitely check this place out- staff is so friendly, parking is easy along Fulton and products are amazing.

I happened to be at 4 Birds for an event and my husband and I bought some additional yummy treats. We bought English muffins, spent grain crackers, and salted chocolate chip cookies, and tried their granola and sour cream biscuits.Let me tell you something: we didn't have a single thing we wouldn't eat again. The cookies were that perfect blend between crunchy and chewy. The biscuits - usually biscuits are dry but this biscuit is out of this world. The English muffins are great - they're not your traditional English muffin with large air holes, but they're absolutely delicious. The granola was crazy good and I'd eat it every day. The spent grain crackers are perfect for any snack or charcuterie.4 Birds is mostly wholesale, but you can totally buy stuff there, and they even have gluten-free cookies. And they don't use any preservatives, so whatever you buy, you'll want to eat soon....and you'll be healthier for it.Finally, everyone there was so nice and we just loved it. Can't wait to go back!

The smell of fresh baked goods hits you and your mouth starts to water!Mike greeted me and told me about 4 Birds Bakery, where they distribute their products and that they plan to open a full retail spot soon. I will be visiting that retail spot when it happens!The focaccia donut was a delicious Yelp specific treat! Fluffy, soft, and wonderful flavors. I got the sea salt chocolate chip cookies and it might be one of the best cookies I've ever had. I don't say that lightly. It's crisp on the outside with a soft center and the flavor is spot on. I will be looking for these cookies at Joes Butcher when I go back next time!

What a cool bakery, located in a converted.. warehouse? Very clean and modern industrial feel, it smells amazing! I purchased salted chocolate chip, sourdough biscuits, a brownie, and a blondie. Everything was delicious! The bakery is family-run & owned, I had the pleasure of bumping into the owner and her mom & grandmother. Everyone who works at the bakery is incredibly kind and helpful and the tastes are homemade but better. So good! There is parking directly in front of the shop, but it can be a little confusing on the first visit. Recommend visiting, I will certainly be back when I'm in the city!

I should have taken pictures of all the things I got. The English muffin was out of this world. My husband isn't a chocolate fan but he loved their chocolate chip zucchini muffin. I also loved the cookie and brownie I got. Can't say enough good things and can't wait to go back and get more soon!!

In my top three list of best bakeries in Indiana. Their selections are quality, thoughtful, and always consistent. My favorites/go-to items are their sour cream biscuits, chili crisp, sesame spent grain crackers, and ramp scone. The chili crisp is the best I've had, and I've tried a lot. They carefully craft it by cooking each ingredient to its optimal state of goodness, then they combine the ingredients forming a melodious, well rounded flavor. The chili crisp atop their biscuit is a savory treat I always crave. The crackers are always crisp, never stale. Perfect for any dip or even on its own. The ramp scone is not in their everyday options, but it's worth a mention. Consistency was perfect and not dry. On Saturdays they can be found at a local farmers market. In the winter I discovered them at the Broad Ripple farmers market.

I've been hearing about 4 Birds Bakery for quite some time, however, I've really never come across them until recently. Truthfully, I probably just haven't noticed. Okay, so the basics. 4 Birds Bakery is locally owned. Jenna Unrue is noted on the website as being the founder. You know you have a more socially responsible bakery when leadership team titles include a Sustainability Director. 4 Birds Bakery is, you guessed it, a bakery. They range from wildly decadent to vegan (don't attack me. I'm not saying vegan can't be decadent). They have a bakery on Fulton Street near downtown that has limited hours - I believe it's pick-up only, however, i haven't picked up so I don't actually know. You can find 4 Birds all around town. I found their cookies most recently in The Best Chocolate in Town at the Fashion Mall. They have about 40 retail spots in Central Indiana. If you have a sweet tooth, you've probably enjoyed 4 Birds without even knowing it. 4 Birds offers various bars, breads, crackers, brownies, cookies, granola, and more. You can find them at farmer's markets and you can order online (I mean, seriously. The website is amazingly user friendly).The prices are surprisingly affordable for a truly indie bakery devoted to sustainability and supporting local. A lot, almost all, of their vendors are actually local including Sun King Brewery, Tinker Coffee, Doud Orchards, Maplewood Farms, N.K. Hurst Co., and Cash & Carry Paper. I've tried both the chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies. I'm anxious to try the peanut butter/chocolate chip combo cookie and I'm dying to try the brownies. That will happen soon. Now that I finally discovered 4 Birds, I look forward to patronizing the over 40 local businesses who carry their baked goods. Win/Win. Sweet.
