    These are some amazing, elegant cupcakes.
    marlene

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Sweet potato

    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!

    The best milkshakes

    The best cupcakes and milkshakes in Birmingham hands down!!!! The nicest people you could meet. The decoration and lighting is perfect.

    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).

Unique flavors, classic flavors, the smell of fresh waffle cones inside. Big Spoon does a ton of business, as they should. The location here in Avondale is great, but not super walkable from any really good restaurants. I would love to see them open another spot on 2nd Ave. I had the strawberry tres leches in a waffle cone and it was delicious. I appreciate the care and craft that went into making sure every bit down to the bottom of the cone had ice cream in it. 10/10.

    The Sweet and the Absurd: A Birmingham Creamery's Baffling Economics…read moreTo step into Big Spoon Creamery in Birmingham is to subject oneself to a masterclass in both artisanal delight and bureaucratic absurdity. On my visits--a pilgrimage undertaken reliably every month and a half--the front-line staff have never been anything short of exemplary. They are the cheerful stewards of a deeply baffling system, executing their duties with a warmth that almost distracts you from the institutional quirks around them. I say "institutional" because the management themselves are entirely phantom. They are never seen on the floor. Perhaps this is a calculated evasion; if they were ever present, they would surely have to field a relentless, exasperated inquisition regarding the tragic and ongoing absence of their finest creation: the "Magic City." Why an ice cream parlor would willingly suppress its undisputed masterpiece remains an enduring mystery. Even if the economics of its ingredients demanded a premium surcharge, "Magic City" ought to be enshrined as an immovable staple on the menu. Instead, the menu is a restless, ever-shifting carousel. I concede that a relentless churn of novelty is a virtue to a certain type of customer, but the soul of a great neighborhood institution relies on the comforting reliability of a few anchor flavors. At Big Spoon, just as you develop an affection for a flavor, it vanishes into the ether. Then, we must examine the rewards program, an endeavor so poorly conceived it borders on the avant-garde. The mathematics are punishingly flat: one point per order, regardless of whether the patron spends a single dollar or one hundred. The rational response to such a broken incentive structure is, naturally, to weaponize the system. To extract any genuine value, the savvy customer is forced into a theatrical display of micro-transactions, paying for each scoop separately. It is a loophole that needlessly punishes the very staff who make the establishment shine, forcing them to run the register three or four times for a single family's dessert. Finally, there is the creamery's bizarre pricing taxonomy. A close study of the board reveals an accidental arbitrage opportunity: the customer is objectively better off purchasing two distinct pints of ice cream and two empty waffle cones to assemble on their own time, rather than engaging in the straightforward, intended transaction of ordering ice cream scooped directly into a cone. Whoever is pulling the levers behind the curtain at Big Spoon clearly fancies themselves a clever operator, disrupting the traditional ice cream parlor model with dynamic menus and gamified loyalty. But in their pursuit of perpetual novelty and labyrinthine economics, they have embodied the old proverb perfectly: they are entirely too clever by half.
