K & J's Elegant Pastries

So we came to this establishment because my daughter saw it on her TikTok. The videos did no justice to the actual store and what to expect while there. It’s very cute and very well managed by a great group of ladies and gentlemen. All members were kind, respectful and always with a smile. I got the cookies and cream milkshake not too much of a fan. My daughter got the colossal strawberry shake to which she enjoyed and the boo thang got cookies and cream ice cream in a cup. The cupcakes were simple vanilla, strawberry and red velvet. We’re always up for trying new places but I’m almost guaranteed this was just a one stop shop. Excuse the cupcakes they had a rough ride home

I have been seeing this shop on Tiktok for some time and have finally made my way there. I picked an excellent day to go because they were serving one of their cupcakes that they only feature on Juneteenth and Thanksgiving! Today being Juneteenth, I was able to try the “Carlyn’s Soul Food” cupcake and man oh man was it AMAZING!!! It has a honey cornbread topped with candied yams and a piece of honey drizzled fried chicken!!! So moist and tasty! It was a whole meal in one cupcake. However… I still had my dessert! 😆 I had their red velvet brownie cupcake and it did not disappoint either! My son had the basic strawberry cupcake and really liked it. They also have ice creams and other delicious treats available. It’s located under the highway and is such a neat place to just relax and enjoy the food and sights. I hear it’s super cool looking at night with the LED lights! I am happy to support a black owned business, especially on this day. Keep rocking it, young lady! I’ll be back!

I’ve seen this place on my TikTok for a few weeks and knew we needed to stop here while on our trip to Birmingham. It was a little busy when we got there but they had a great system going. The service was amazing and everybody was super nice! The cupcakes were definitely worth the 4 hr drive and worth every penny. The sweet potato pie cupcake was my favorite! Will definitely be back next time we’re in town. :)
