I can safely say these were the best cupcakes I have ever had! I have walked past the cute storefront in Cannon Beach for seven years and FINALLY stopped in to check it out and grab a couple on my way to visit a friend while in town. I will now be a regular! The store is so cute and Jae and the co-worker I met were so friendly. The chocolate mousse cupcake was so good and the fresh cream on top was just right. Sometimes cupcake frosting can be too heavy and sweet for my taste, but this was the perfect topping for the perfect cupcake. I also got a raspberry and a lemon curd, for my friend to choose from. Wow. So I went back the next day to grab a coconut cream cupcake (sold out the day before) and a couple to share with my husband before I headed back to Portland (and it was Sunday, so I picked up a cinnamon roll, too--and she threw in a cookie free of charge). As soon as my husband took a bite, his first words were, "I think this is the best cupcake I have ever had!" I will now have to exercise a measure of willpower when I am in town so as not to stop every time I walk by. These are not inexpensive cupcakes, but worth it when you want something totally delicious! read more

These are extra large cupcakes-definitely can split with someone. These are filled cupcakes. We ordered the chocolate and the lemon. I did not care for the chocolate as the cake was very fluffy and light-lots of air holes. I prefer something dense. The whipped cream frosting was a nice balance to the sweet. I enjoyed the flavor and the filling of the lemon one. It seemed a bit more dense to me. The owner has lived some interesting places. If she is not busy take the time to ask "Have you always lived here?" You might get a story with your treat. If you like light and fluffy giant cupcakes you have found your spot. read more

Yummy cupcakes that were a crowd pleaser for my friend's birthday celebration! I stopped in after arriving in town to pick up cupcakes. I had tried to order a cake, but wasn't having luck finding a time in my workday to call when the shop was open. When I arrived there were about eight flavors to choose from in the case. The owner was friendly and actually offered to make me a cake that afternoon, but I didn't have enough time to wait in town that day. The flavors in the case were variations of a couple of flavors. All of the cupcakes are filled. There was chocolate cake with mousse, white cake with mousse, white cake with raspberry, white cake with lemon, and chocolate cake with raspberry. The cupcakes are huge. Most of us ended up enjoying our cupcakes one half at a time. The cake was moist and delicious. The frosting was light and fluffy, not a thick buttercream. We all liked that the frosting was different than what we expected. I don't typically experience sticker shock, but at $5 a cupcake I was a little shocked. The cupcakes were large, but I would have preferred normal sized cupcakes at a lower price. read more

Going to slightly downgrade my rating to 4 stars after my most recent stop here. We got a round of the delicious cinnamon rolls but felt that the quality had degraded from past visits - it seemed smaller, definitely less gooey, and generally not as flavorful. I think I'll try it one more time on my next visit, but I was disappointed by the apparent change. read more

Just a quick stop so a quick review! Small, local business. You can tell the owner cares about the place! There's a small selection but they all look good! We got the carrot cake and vanilla with chocolate mousse filling to go. The woman we interacted with was super friendly and informative! Told us all about the cupcakes and some history about the place. The cupcakes were pretty good! I would recommend using a plate and fork. We tried to just eat them and they were a MESS! But both were delicious! Very flavorful and soft. The frosting was good. Definitely a treat to split! read more

Owner was sweet but 6$ a cupcake omg...they are a little bigger but after trying them I didn't care for the whipped cream as the frosting. Seemed cheaper and rushed. May be just us but we love an actual frosting not just whipped cream. read more

We came by at 11:10 on a Sunday morning for my mom's birthday and there was a few other people waiting outside. One woman tried the door and was snapped at by a woman on the other side saying that they weren't open yet (even though all their signs said 11am). The woman I presume is the owner said the cinnamon rolls were not out and they couldn't open without them. She opened the door a few minutes later and we all went in. The ladies working promptly told us about the cinnamon rolls and said they were for preorder only. My brother said, "So I can't buy any?" She changed her answer and said that he could buy some and asked how many. He took a moment to think and she shouted, "Two is the most you can have!" My other brother asked for a recommendation on a cupcake and they wouldn't give one. Needless to say, the customer service was not enjoyable. I bought two cupcakes: Chocolate Mousse and Caramel. The chocolate mousse was good but too moist. The caramel filling was grainy. $5 each. Based on the rude and bizarre behavior and the highway robbery of the cupcakes I will not be back if I'm in the area. read more

I came here a couple of weeks ago with my husband. It was out last stop before we headed back home to Portland. Boy was I glad that we stopped by. When we got home, we had the cupcakes and they were heavenly!! So much better than any cupcake joint in PDX! I've read reviews by others who had a bad experience, for weddings, but if you're just stoping by for pre-made cupcakes, then it's a great experience. Rae is very nice, and she answered all my questions about filling and flavors. I figured, since we drove all the way over here, might as well get four cupcakes, each different flavor. We waited until we got home to dig in. You know the term 'mind blown?' Well it was like that, but for our taste buds. The cakes were so rich and moist. The best part was the frosting. Now, I don't typically like frosting because it's usually the granular sugary kind. I don't like it when it's gritty. But this frosting was whipped from silk or something. It was smooooooth. Anyway, the chocolate peanut butter with the malt ball on top was the best. When you're in Cannon Beach, check it out, but hurry because it closes when they run out! read more

As a newer resident to CB. I am always looking for the best places to take my friends and family when they are visiting. This is by far the best place in town to get cupcakes. My favorites are the white cake coconut cream and the chocolate cake peanut butter. You start by choosing white or chocolate cake and then you choose your filling. I don't know what the secret is,( I believe it's Ocean Air). But, I promise you, cupcakes will never be the same again. This is a darling little shop. I've read other reviews where people have commented on the service as unfriendly but I find that unfair. At this shop they use proper manners and etiquette and I appreciate that and find it refreshing. This shop is wonderful and the proof is in the cake. I recommend you order ahead of time. Many days they sell out early. read more

The owner is SO RUDE!!!!!!!!! SO RUDE..... My kids and I came to Cannon Beach for a short day trip with my best friend. My friend is a baker and loves to stop in to bakeries when we are out of town, support those fellow bakers. Well, this baker is mean as hell. Rude to me and my children, my friend mentioned that she has been wanting to stop in and check it out the bakery but she has never caught it during open hours. The owner snarked that she had the same hours every day. Well ok, so we started to take a look at the "goods". The bakery is one shelf of maybe 6 different cupcake flavors. Make sure you dont touch the glass at all too cause she will definitely snap at you, even if you are asking a question. I was ready to leave at this point but my son was promised a cupcake and I could tell it wasn't going to be easy to leave without either giving in and buying a cupcake or making a scene. As I said , maybe 6 flavors total and the owner still managed to give him the wrong flavor which I didn't even notice till we left cause we were ready to get the hell out of there at this point. I paid for my FIVE DOLLAR CUPCAKE and left. So here we go. 1 Terribly rude service 2 didn't get the product I paid for 3 expensive product for the awful experience There are other bakeries within walking distance. Dont give this lady your money. Shes awf read more

All of these reviews are true - Jae's cakes are DELICIOUS. The cupcakes are well worth it, however, if you are considering getting a wedding cake from Jae, I would advise against it. Being on the Oregon Coast, she essentially has a monopoly on the wedding cake industry, as no one else (professionally anyways) does wedding cakes in Clatsop County, and certainly doesn't deliver (1 star for delicious cake). Here's what happened: We paid our deposit for our wedding cake 9 months before the wedding - at the time she told us we were her only wedding that weekend. GREAT, FANTASTIC! Well, as time went on, it was difficult to contact Jae. When she did finally return phone calls or respond to emails, she was usually less than pleasant. We paid her in full 3 months before the wedding, and we told her the timeline of our events for the weekend and told her when she would be able to deliver the cake. A month before the wedding, I send her another email, again telling her when she could deliver the cake, and letting her know when our flowers were being delivered, as she was going to need these roses for the cake. A week before the wedding I received a voicemail from her telling me that she would be delivering the cake the day before and had discussed this with our venue behind my back. After a day or two of phone-tag, I was able to finally reach Jae and inform her that delivering the cake the day before is not an option as the flowers would not be there for her then, and that it was our agreement that she would set up the cake, not us. At this point she informs me that she has 3 (THREE) weddings including mine this weekend. Quickly turning into Bridezilla, I informed her that I did not care - we made an arrangement, she was paid for her services, and I expected my cake, on Saturday. We did agree that she could deliver the cake 1 and a half hours earlier than planned - which was exactly the time we began to have access to our venue at all - we literally could not have had it delivered any earlier. The day of the wedding comes. The flowers are delivered, and Jae is no where to be seen. She had said she would deliver the cake at 1:30 on the wedding day - she did not show up until 4. With guests arriving at 5, the ceremony beginning at 5:30, and the reception beginning in the same venue as the ceremony at 6, we had no time to spare. She delivers the cake, INTERRUPTS our wedding portraits to inform me that it is here saying, "It is beautiful" (at this point, I was nothing short of bitchy to her - we are nearing my tipping point). The rest of the evening goes off without a hitch. The next day, my sister send me a screenshot of her friend's Facebook status telling a story about how she help "some cake lady" load a cake into my wedding venue the day of my wedding - apparently she had attempted to take the cake DOWN stairs in an attempt to get into the venue. From what I read, Jea was upset that she couldn't get into the venue - What do you expect when you are 2 and a half hours late?! This is the straw that finally broke my back. Yes, the cake was delicious. But, if you want a wedding day devoid of stress related to if you will even have a cake at your reception, this is not the cake lady for you. read more

Such RUDE ladies that run this store. They are closed on Wednesday so we came back to town Thursday to try one out. Door was WIDE OPEN at 2:15pm and we walk in to an empty cabinet which is fine, I get it, but the attitude?! The lady goes "you'll have to come back tomorrow and actually get here early!" To which I said "well that's a bummer, we're leaving town in the morning" and she goes "oh well, should have gotten here earlier!". Zero customer service skills! Maybe close your door and turn around your "open" sign when you run out?! Would never go back on principal, many other tasty treat stores with much friendlier people in town. 0/10! read more

Just tried the chocolate peanut butter cupcake. It is damn good! Moist rich chocolate cake with a rich peanut butter filling and dark chocolate ganache and whipped cream on top. High quality ingredients and expertly crafted. Better than the myriad cupcake places in my home of Seattle. Will be going back for more! read more

Delicious custom cupcake order, filled same day! Quality of the cake was incomparable and perfect for my wife's birthday celebration.

Wow! I'm blown away by these cakes. I'm frankly tired of cake, we have lots of kids, all in sports, feels like we are always eating cake. This cake was in a league of its own! The flavors were incredible both gluten free and regular hit it out of the park! The frosting, cake all of it was not only fresh but not overly sweet. Exceptional quality flavors and even let me pick up 30 min before opening to align with my party time. Very happy and will absolutely use them again in the future. Craving it already and it's been two weeks!! read more

Came by early in the day, and this is key, and bought 10 beautiful cupcakes for a special event. The owner kindly held them in her chiller for me till I could pick them up later in the day. When I came back a little after 3 pm her display case was just about empty, and I was glad I'd bought what I wanted earlier! Special and delicious, a real treat! read more

Heard about the Cinnamon Rolls on Yelp and had to give them a try. The reviews DO NOT lie! We got there 15 mins before they opened at 11:00am (Sunday only) and were first in line. These are some of the best cinnamon rolls I have had in a long time. The roll is soft with a true sweet cinnamon filling. No raisins. The frosting is a sugar frosting (not cream cheese). Enjoyed one fresh from the oven and brought another home. It heated well the next day and was just as good! There is no seating in the shop so plan to take your rolls back to the hotel or on the road. Looking forward to our next visit to Cannon Beach so we can enjoy them again! read more

Cupcakes are expensive. $5.25. Most white cake cupcakes are lazily frosted with whipped cream. Vanilla buttercream would be MUCH better for taste, presentation and holding up to eat later. And it's true, the owner is borderline rude. This is the beach! People are here with children, ON VACATION! Chill out!! read more

The best cupcakes!!! ALL of Jae's cupcakes are delicious! You really cannot go wrong, but the peanut butter, raspberry and caramel are my top 3! Consistently good and FRESH! And if your lucky enough to catch her on the right day, pick up some doggie biscuits! Your dog will love them!! And get up early on Sundays (only) and get one of her cinnamon rolls! They are unbelievable!!! Wow! I'm super impressed! Jae defiantly knows what she's doing!! read more

I was asked for my PIN number when paying with my debit card. Who does that?? When I didn't want to give my PIN number the lady ringing me up was pretty rude and sarcastic about it. Customer service was terrible. I will not be back! And 6.75 for those cupcakes is pretty pricey in my opinion. read more

Delicious. Absolutely delectable. I am a skilled home baker who knows her way around a recipe. I don't usually buy cakes because mine are better. But I'm glad I made an exception for Simply Cakes by Jae. Jae uses premium ingredients and combines them with care and attention. We came on Sunday at about 11 am and left with large cupcakes and a very large cinnamon roll. Sure, the cupcakes cost $5. If you want cheap baked goods, go for the industrial supply bakeries in one of the big box stores. Cheaper ingredients there are turned into mass produced fluff. If you want a beautiful cake that tastes like chocolate and not brown crayon, if you want butter and cream and not shortening and powdered sugar paste, spend the money and get the best of the best. Jae served us with grace and style and we had no problem with customer service. read more

Lovely Small shop. A lot of fun cupcakes but very dense flavors (most kids don't have a pallet for dense flavors). Reasonably priced. Cupcakes are filled with goodies (I.e., caramel, raspberry, German chocolate, peanut butter). read more

We stopped by here yesterday to pick a dessert for the evening. We selected a chocolate cupcake filled with raspberry. It cost $5 -- a bit steep usually for us buying a cupcake but it was large. The cupcake was tasty! Dark chocolate frosting over dark chocolate cake. The cake by itself was slightly dry but with the frosting, the combo tasted delicious! read more

Fabulous cakes! When you want a very special very tasty beautiful cake this is the place. Not only are the cakes above average, the customer service is too- Jae is a hidden treasure! read more

Oh my heavens! I am a foodie and so is my husband. We have never tasted better cupcakes than Jae's ...when we come to Cannon Beach we always stop in to pick up our favorites- she opens at 11 and closes when she has sold out - which can be as early as 12 (just kidding) but it can be early afternoon. Sunday mornings she has cinnamon rolls. She is a 5 star baker! What I love is her wonderful customer service and her delicious products. Walk the beach and eat and walk the beach some more...true bliss! read more

I ordered a cake for a large event (175 people) SIX MONTHS in advance. One week prior to the event, she called wanting to change the delivery DAY and time, which we had arranged SIX MONTHS in advance. She was requesting the change because she now had two other deliveries on that same day. I know when we placed our order that we were the only cake she had scheduled for that day, because I asked at the time we placed our order. Our venue was not available to us to have the cake delivered on a different day. On the day of the event, Jae arrived very late with the cake. She was then upset because no one was waiting by the door to let her in. We had been waiting, for an hour, but as I previously stated, she was late, and we were setting up for a large event. I had tried to call her for an update on her status, but she was unavailable via the only contact number I had. Once we realized she had finally arrived, we rushed to let her in. She offered no apologies, or acknowledgement to the fact she was late. She was, however, moody, snippy and angry with me and my staff. She barely finished setting up the cake moments before the start of our event. I am not vindictive. I am truly just relaying an honest account of my experience with placing a large order. The cake was delicious, I do not deny that fact. The professionalism, once the order was placed, was no where to be found. read more

This place is insanely perfect. PERFECT!! I took 1 bite of their chocolate mousse cupcake and sent my husband right back to get the coconut cream. The cupcakes were perfectly moist, airy and decadent. I wish they shipped because they are simply the best!!!! read more

May I point out, the stars are only for the cupcakes. NOT the service. Yes the cupcakes were amazing even at $5.00 each BUT we were "assisted" by the rudest woman we've ever met. She was too busy to help us get our expensive cupcakes because she was too busy licking her fingers clean of her own food she had been scarfing down. We had come here the previous weekend and a much more pleasant woman had helped us out and even cut our cupcakes in half for the whole family to share. We loved it so much we decided to come back again. Little did we know we'd come face to face with the devil herself. When we went to ask if she could cut them in half she laughed rolled her eyes and said "no but you can" so we asked if she had any plastic knives and she responded "no," again in her sassy way. After conversing back and forth about a few things she put me and my family all in a bad mood and put a bad taste in our mouth for the business AND the cupcakes for the rest of our trip. Thanks, but no thanks. read more

$5 for a cupcake is a bit high, and since the icing isn't buttercream frosting, it's not our favorite. We went on a Sunday morning around 11:30ish, and all the cinnamon rolls were sold out already, and the fancy cupcake flavors aren't to our taste. Since we're new residents, this is probably a place we would take family/friends to if they're visiting, and we will have to try the cinnamon rolls sometime since others rave about them. read more

This will be a short review...Great cupcakes. Delicious cookies (like when you were young and grandma made you cookies when you came over) but....you have to go in on Sunday to get, eat, devour THEE BEST CINNAMON ROLLS! Walking in at 11:00am on a Sunday morning (its the only day she makes them) and the smell of hot, fresh out of the oven cinnamon rolls is a lift you off your feet moment. The only question you need ask yourself is how many should I get??? Awesome read more

We went last night because I love cupcakes and saw this spot. We shared my one cupcake and I wondered why I only got one! I had the chocolate mousse and it was AMAZING!!
