Always a great choice to stop at K & J's! New cupcake selections made each day. If you miss the store hours, no worries. Just get something out of the vending machine! If you want to sit down and enjoy your treats, you'll enjoy all the beautiful pink decor and relaxed atmosphere.

K&J's
Gabby S.

Such a cuteeeee dessert lounge! The staff were extremely polite and helpful with me making a decision on what to try since they have an endless amount of variety options to choose from. This pastry lounge is really clean and the splash of pink everywhere is amazing! I will most definitely go back to try other items!

Cinnamon Roll

Outside, you will find a small storefront in the heart of Uptown Bham underneath the sprawling highway bridges. The lighting is so subtle but warm from overhead and the walk down consists of some of City Walk, the Barkery dog park, and tennis courts where many were busy inside of. Inside the store , the cutest interior decor fit so delightfully with the bright and happy baked goods. We got a two pack and a cinnamon roll to share. We both enjoy the icing more than the cake part separately, but both together were a perfect match! Service was quick and workers attentive to those in line. Just be aware that during events in the area - be patient finding a parallel park!

Cupcake vending machine

I had a great experience here! I got in & got what I needed! Th staff was so helpful during my visit. The shop is so cute and has a great ambiance. I really enjoyed my two cupcakes. The variety is extensive. The staff is amazing!! This was my first time at their location in uptown & I was pleased!

Double Cookie Sundae
Melissa C.

My coworker and I had an amazing time at K&J's! First off, the sweet pink café ambience is right on point with the concept. I ordered a Double Cookie Sundae and two cupcakes for tomorrow. The sundae was fantastic! Warmed cookies, incredible ice cream, chocolate, drizzle, whipped cream, crunchy cookie pieces. Everything my little heart desired! As for the proverbial "cherry on top", I can't remember when I've had a better service. Everyone in there was so genuinely kind and friendly and seemed so happy to be there. It felt like coming into someone's family kitchen. I could not recommend K&J's enough.

Strawberry cheesecake so delicious
Meleana W.

Loved everything about this place and the deserts are A1!!! Service was fast and the servers were nice. Great for kids and adults who love ice cream

Red Velvet Cheesecake
Nia A.

This place was jumping on a Saturday afternoon but service was quick and staff was friendly! It's so cute inside. This was my first time actually coming in. My cheesecake looked like it already had a bite taken out lol. For $8 I would've liked a whole slice but it's alright. Their red velvet tastes like chocolate cake but the cheesecake part was good. There was a random strip of cookie dough which didn't really add anything for me. I wouldn't get it again but definitely want to come back and try something else!

I saw this place on Instagram and TikTok and they were raving about how good the cupcakes were so I had to come check it out despite customers were steady coming in. I took my turn and I'm glad I did because these cupcakes are so good!! Excellent customer service and beautifully decorated!

These are some amazing, elegant cupcakes.

I was nearby and I was determined to try these cupcakes out. The place is definitely a vibe. So, Let me tell you it is tough making a decision on which one to get I chose four of them and the lady said that's great, You could try a little of each one and share them. I looked at her (and I said in my head lol I don't share.) and smiled. These are so good. They are soft their moist they have no preservative solvent taste like the ones you buy at your local store.. They taste naturally delicious. They also have milkshakes and other things, but I was too fixated on the cupcakes and didn't want to get stressed trying to decide. Now the parking is kinda crazy. I just went in the parking structure and parked. Just take a little walk around the corner. It's worth it. I will be going back. I have to try their shakes next. I totally recommend it.

Sweet potato
April B.

These cupcakes are absolutely DELICIOUS! We have tried their over the top milkshakes before but never a cupcake, so we got a six pack and sampled each one! They are perfect sweetness, fluffiness, just the right amount of icing. Everyone is so friendly and "sweet" lol. They explained all of the flavors and then gave us a bottle of water! We tried our food there, the inside is gorgeous. Fresh flowers on the tables and a bright atmosphere. There is also outside seating and the location is perfect for exploring.

Sweet potato pecan pie and strawberry brownie
Shelby S.

I found K & J's Elegant Pastries on TikTok and had to try them -- and they did not disappoint! I had the sweet potato pecan pie cupcake, and it was rich, perfectly spiced, and totally unique. My husband went for the strawberry brownie cupcake, and he loved every bite. The service was incredible -- they greeted every person who walked in with genuine warmth, and you could truly tell how much they care about their customers and their craft. We'll definitely be back to try more treats!

If you want a unique dessert experience this place is the place to go whether it's cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, cookies or just an amazing milkshake you can't miss this one. Every time my daughter comes to town it's her favorite place go. Love this place for great sugar high!

Kerri H.

Y'ALL!!!!! Don't pass by this shop without stopping in! From the moment you walk in the door until you leave it is magical (and smells oh so yummy!). I won't confess the amount of cupcakes in our order but it would be impossible to tell you my favorite however if the Strawberry Lemonade Crunch cupcake is on the menu, don't leave without adding one to your order. And every single person in there was super friendly (how can you not be working in a place as fabulous as K and J's).

One last stop before heading home from Bham! I'd had this spot bookmarked and it was a short drive…read morefrom where we ate, so we headed on over to get some dessert. This gelateria is tucked away in a cute area. The road is like...cobblestone? Or very uneven and narrow at least. Wasn't super friendly for our car. Probably better to walk from somewhere else nearby. The inside was super weirdly hot, which was unexpected. Fortunately we were getting our goodies to go. There's very limited seating inside but you could maybe grab a spot if you wanted to. I ordered a scoop of hazelnut gelato and husband got chocolate. The flavor selection is somewhat simple and limited but that's not necessarily a bad thing - product seems very high quality. Service was acceptable, quiet and matter of fact. The serving size was generous. Both gelatos were good, but my hazelnut was great! It was so pleasantly nutty and sweet, and the texture was amazing. I'd definitely order this treat again! Give them a try if you're a gelato fan. Yum!

My personal favorite pistachio is always available which I love. I also really enjoy the pineapple habanero which is uniquely sweet and spicy. The gelato consistency is dense and silky and reminds me of Europe. The staff here is friendly and will let you try multiple flavors to help you decide. It has limited seating inside but there's more outside which is nice on a cool day. They also have a full coffee menu which is a plus. If you're more of an espresso or pourover person they make it really well!

I will say parking was a bit of a pain. I cheated and parked at Chick fil a but I don't think that would've worked if I'd stayed for more than enough time to order and go. Fortunately I was in and out fairly quickly. That said, if I lived in the area, I'd love to hang out for a while. The atmosphere is just perfect. Cool, a tiny bit punk rock, great music, powerful air conditioning, fun stickers and stuff on the tables for local bands, breweries, and celebration of immigrants. Service was super sweet and working diligently. The barista who spoke with me answered my questions happily and made great recommendations. I ordered an iced horchata latte for myself, an iced chocolate Abuelita for my dad, and a chocolate concha to take home to my husband. Our drinks came out quickly and we were on our way. She warmed up the concha without asking, which wound up not being necessary but would've been appreciated had I eaten it immediately. My iced drink was a little over-full and did squeeze out some when I stuck a straw in. Sticky! No big deal, we had wet wipes in the car. The horchata latte was perfection. Sweet, creamy, strong cinnamon and coffee flavors. Exactly how I imagined it would be! My dad said he felt the chocolate Abuelita was a little light on coffee flavor but he rarely drinks iced coffee or "fancy coffee," so YMMV. The concha was tasty, subtly sweet, and soft when I got around to eating it later. Will definitely return on future trips to Birmingham. Thanks so much, Bandido!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy your coffee wherever you're most comfortable. They have some amazing signature flavors that caught my attention. Instead of going with a regular cappuccino, I decided to try the "Havana Brown," made with hazelnut and Irish cream. It was a treat to try something different, but it wasn't overly sweet, which I personally like. The staff seemed really friendly and welcoming, and they were more than happy to offer recommendations. I also loved seeing how involved they are in the local community. There's a board along the wall featuring upcoming local events, which gives the shop an even more welcoming, neighborhood feel.

It's one of Birmingham's original coffee shops as coffee culture started to transition from the realms of iHop and Denny's into something that one might actually appreciate. Red Cat opened here in 2008, close to the time when Railroad Park was forming up in front of it as well. Of course, beans are roasted in house. Of course, the views are very pleasant overlooking railroad park across the street. And, what other colors could mugs be other than red? The layout inside is pleasant, although does have a bit of that "overly private" feel. The way that tables are positioned, it's not conducive to having a chat with a stranger. Depending on the vibe one is looking for, that can be a good or a bad thing. Basically, this is where you come if you don't want to be bothered. As a whole, a wonderful spot to enjoy one of their signature Espresso blends.
