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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt like coming into someone's family kitchen.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I could not recommend K&J's enough. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside, you will find a small storefront in the heart of Uptown Bham underneath the sprawling highway bridges.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside the store , the cutest interior decor fit so delightfully with the bright and happy baked goods[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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!

K & J's Elegant Pastries - Strawberry cheesecake so delicious - Desserts Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

I was nearby and I was determined to try these cupcakes out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is definitely a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

This place was jumping on a Saturday afternoon but service was quick and staff was friendly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's so cute inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

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!

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.

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! read more

My second time here, the staff is so welcoming and friendly. 5/5 the only hard thing is deciding what treat to try they have a large variety. The ice cream is good I believe it's Blue Bell. The sweet potato cupcake and Cookie Monster cookie were good. The pecan cookie 3/5 needed more pecans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a bit awkward ordering due to moving from the cupcake display to the ice cream the guest kind of walk over each other to decide what they want.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is adorable! It's got such a fun vibe inside and the cupcakes are to die for! So moist and unique! I really want to come back and try every single milkshake- they look so yummy. Service was good and helpful. I got my cupcakes to go but next time I'll eat something yummy there. read more

Oh my heavenly stars! The cake slices and cupcakes are divine!

Thank you for blowing us away and putting huge smiles on our faces. It was my birthday and we wanted to relax and we couldn't be happier that we celebrated with your delicious creations. read more

Really great place, REALLY great cake, but the customer service could use a serious attitude adjustment. I ordered a cake for my mom's 80th birthday. I really wanted something special. Sure we could've gone to Costco, but this birthday was quite a landmark and we wanted something special. I live in Los Angeles, and I could only go by what I find online. I'm blown away by how most of the bakers and caterers I called around that area to make this special day just had no sense of decent customer service, like not returning calls, or saying "Sorry, we can't do that." But luckily this place actually got back to me. I placed the deposit, then when it came time to pay the balance they sent me a text but I was at a place with bad phone reception, so I asked if I could do it in an hour, and their response was, "Well we close at 7." I was on Pacific time so I had to do the math. Well, then why didn't they text me sooner?‍ Don't get me wrong, not all employees were like that. But the bad seeds kinda ruin it for the good employees. When I arrived to AL, we picked the cake up at the Hoover location. This store and pastries would make anyone's eyes light up, milkshakes that would make any jaw drop. Long story short, the cake was perfect!! And it was so delicious!!! We got a basic vanilla cake (to make all our guests happy) and when I put some in a ziplock and brought it back to LA, my boyfriend was licking the bag and he doesn't even like vanilla cake. So GREAT cake, exactly what I wanted, absolutely delicious!! But their customer service could use an attitude adjustment. read more

Could this place be any cuter? I love everything about the decor...I mean it's perfect for a bakery/creamery! But what I really come here for are the cupcakes! I don't need them, but I want them, and who I am to deny my tummy what it wants, right? I don't have a favorite, so don't ask. All of them are delicious, beautiful to look at, and made with love! On top of all that, I've never had bad service here. It's always top notch. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing a treat-literally! read more

Not going to lie, auntie can't do the colossalilkshakes!!! Lol!!! But my niece loves them! I usually get a regular size. Now let me tell you about their banana pudding milkshake.... Banana pudding is one of my favorite desserts and it tastes just like it! And has pieces of cookie in it as well. I'm ready to try the banana pudding cupcakes next! Service is always great, I've never had one complaint about it. The decor is so cute and modern, and pretty! K&Js is one of my nieces favorite places to go, so if I give her the choice to go get sweets, she's picking them every time. I also love that they are black owned and Kristal does custom cakes. I've had a few birthday cakes from there, and they are a hit every single time. I would recommend them I've and I've again, whether it's for a custom birthday cake, wedding cake, custom cupcakes, or you just have a sweet tooth. Oh, and an all around favorite is the pancake and bacon cupcake. And yes, it tastes EXACTLY like you are eating pancakes and bacon! It's delicious! Go soon! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This bakery had a bright, clean layout that made it feel very welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floor was shiny, and the glass counter was spotless.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went for the pistachio cream roll, and it was soft, nutty, and not too heavy. Staff placed it carefully into a lined box and sealed it with a label. I saw one worker sanitize the scale and counter in between customers. That level of care really stood out. read more

The staff here are very consistent with cleanliness protocols. I watched as one employee wiped the card machine and door handle after each use. I had a chocolate chip muffin that was warm and moist inside, with a crispy top. The muffin was served in a paper wrapper, and I got a clean fork without asking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop smelled of fresh butter, not stale oil.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely one of the cleaner bakeries I've been to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is in an odd area under the highway overpass (which seemed like it was under construction forever during my previous visits to the area). The ice cream is blue bell brand, and the cakes are many. I waited in line (the area was crowded) and took the fanciest one, which was a cupcake with what seemed like cheesecake on top. It was indulgent, but I'm still not quite sure that it or the other items were worth the price. Someone left beside me with a very interesting-looking custom cake. To me, the place seemed like a once in a while treat but not one that I would immediately need to go back to. read more

K & J's Elegant Pastries - Ultimate cookies and cream cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

Have you ever smelled sweetness that is like an Aphrodisiac? That about sums up K&J's as soon as you walk in the door. Cupcakes, cookies, ice cream and custom cakes as well. To add to the greatness of K&J's is the pleasantry of the Customer Service. I am also happy to put them in the World of Yelp. Keep it up. *** Update*** I just finished the Lemon Cupcake and it was just as fabulous as it looked. What I noticed is the cake is flavorful and moist. The icing although looks like a lot displayed on top it is so creamy and not super sweet. read more

I have been telling my husband about the Ultimate Sundaes at this place since my coworker shared his daughter's blog post several years ago. We were going to try to visit the location in Alabaster, but never made the opportunity. So when the location in Ross Bridge opened, we were super excited. My husband went to pick up a Strawberry Shortcake Ultimate Sundae. He walked in and was greeted by a friendly woman who let him know that the sundae would not be in the mason jar, since we were getting it to go. They grabbed a plastic to-go box and began filling it up. They added two warm slices of pound cake, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a scoop of strawberry ice cream, and then topped it with chunks of pound cake and freeze dried strawberry pieces. It filled up the entire box!! We got it home and had dinner first. Then we dug right in. It was definitely enough for two people to enjoy. The flavor was incredible, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We are going back to try the other two Ultimate Sundaes, but we will pace ourselves because it's a LOT of sweet goodness!! Try it for yourself - you will NOT be disappointed!! read more

I've seen K&J's creative sundae's and will try them soon... This review is of their food truck "Pinky" which I had the pleasure of purchasing some of their cupcakes while in the 5 Pts West area. They have so many selections, so it took me a minute to decide. I narrowed it down to the red velvet w cookies and cream topping, strawberry and key lime. All were delicious but the key lime was my favorite. This is definitely a flavor I will choose in my next purchase. They also have a store front in Alabaster. Follow them on Instagram to see where Pinky will be located. Here's to my diet goals in 2021 but everyone deserves a treat sometimes. read more
