Savage’s Bakery & Deli Savage’s Bakery & Deli has been a Birmingham landmark for 75 years. It was first opened in 1939 by Mr. and Mrs. William Savage on Highland Avenue and later moved to it’s current location in downtown Homewood on 18th Street S. When Savage’s Bakery came up for sale in 1978, Van Scott Jr., a Birmingham native, seized an opportunity to own one of the city’s finest bakeries. Van, above with his daughter, Margaret, who works at the bakery, followed through with his passion for baking and his goal to one day own his own business. “Savage’s Bakery & Deli has expanded over the years and has a variety of different products.

iced smiley face cookies, butterflake rolls, and of course the cakes!” said Margaret. “We continue to use the original recipes, which take some time, but it makes all the difference when it comes to taste.” With the holidays approaching, Savage’s will start baking a variety of pies, including apple, cherry, pumpkin, sweetpotato and of course, pecan. Savage’s also offers their famous butterflake, Brookhouse and Parkerhouse rolls. “We are baking pumpkin spice bread and pumpkin spice muffins again this year for the holiday season. Iced turkey cookies for Thanksgiving are an annual favorite and starting in December, the Christmas bells, stars and tree cookies will be available. Special orders can be made to ensure every customer’s holiday season will be one to remember,” said Margaret. Savages Bakery & Deli is located at 2916 18th Street S., 871-4901.
