EllenJay is literally amazing!! They made my wedding cake and dessert bar and its something that guests still talk about to this day (almost 2 years later)! Im a wedding photographer as well and EllenJay always does such a great job! I get excited when I see their names on the vendor list because I know Im in for a treat! HIRE THEM!!!
Update: I changed my rating because I placed a pre-order on Sunday for pickup on Wednesday. The pick up window is 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. When I arrived my order was not ready. They told me it would be another 30 minutes because they were baking. They could have text or called to say that the order would not be ready or that it would be delayed. I emailed and called after I left the bakery. I received a email at 7:02 p.m. that I could pick up the items that I ordered the following day. When I called the bakery directly, I left a voicemail and I never received a call back. The Sammies are good the customer service could have been a much better. I see in other reviews that they do text or call when the ordering is delayed, maybe they only do that for regular customers.*********ellenJay is amazing, just amazing!!Im not usually in Midtown but today I decided to make a special trip to ellenJay.Its hard to resist this adorable Bakery boutique because customer service is wonderful and the Buttercream Peanut butter Sammies, Lemon Tea Cakes and that Sweet Potato cupcake are out of this world.I decided to get a few things because Im not on that side of town often and Im so glad I did. It took me a few days to get through everything and it was definitely worth it.As I entered, I was greeted by a smiling eyes and display case of baked goodness. It was hard for me decide what to order, so I asked to recommendations.I cant remember the ladys name and she had a mask on so its hard to recognize if she was one of the owners. But she was so very helpful and friendly.She recommended the Sweet Potato cupcake. She said it was a customer favorite and after taking one bite, I know why. Next, the Buttercream Sammy, I chose the Peanut Butter because its.. peanut butter and I love peanut butter. Ive had Sammies before but this one is by far the best. The buttercream was light and the cookie was absolutely perfect. It is everything you hope a Peanut Butter cookie would be and so much more. Im a huge fan of lemon and she said the Tea cake was a moist cookie with a bold lemon flavor and she was right. It was delicious.Check out their website, they offer shipping and curbside pickup. I see a curbside pickup for some cupcakes and a Peanut Butter Sammie, in the not to distant future.See ya there
A quaint bakery with a large variety of goodies. Lemon iced tea cakes and cakes in Mason jars. Delicious!
Thank you for your part in making my daughters Sweet 16 party a hit! Your Sweet Potato cake is her favorite and now its a favorite to many! 💗
Best cakes and cookies in town!Received a text from the owner a day before bad weather was expected in order to ensure I picked up birthday cakes on time.Super customer service. Thank you!
Very kind and wonderful to work with. Even when I show up too early to pick up my order and my family is calling/emailing them incessantly because we are unorganized :)
My niece used them for her daughter’s baby shower. OMGosh! Cupcakes, huge decorative sugar cookies, & the cake...3 layers of chocolate Heaven! They had everything ready on time. Highly recommend them!
So, based upon the reviews and what people were saying in the streets, I decided to give them a try. Fifteen minutes before closing, I stroll in and one of the owners was very pleasant, patient, and helpful in assisting me in making such a big decision about what dessert I wanted to eat later on that evening. Needless to say, I settled on the enormous chocolate chip ice cream cookie!!!! It was everything I was looking for!! But, I did half it, so Ill eat the other portion tonight-cant wait!!! The cookie as delicious with a nice texture to hold up to the amount of ice cream there is in the middle. And the ice cream is really good and creamy! So happy to have found this gem on Airport!! Will definitely be going back sooner than later!
Hands down the best ice cream sandwich I have ever had! The decorated sugar cookies were amazing as well! So glad we found this place!
I was in from out of town working in Mobile and I searched for hometown bakery and this was first on the list. So I knew I had to stop by after reading all of the awesome reviews and believe my they did not disappoint! Cute little shop, too! I wish i could say I shared what I bought but I didn’t I ended up eating except for two and I’m sure they’ll be gone by tomorrow night! Thanks for being on the top of the list! Yummy!
Absolutely adore ellenJAY! They are so friendly when you walk in, and the store - super cute! My favorites are the tea cakes, but I also love the sugar cookies. I am always excited to see every new design that put out for their sugar cookies for the holidays.
Excellent all the way through! So many at my wedding were talking about how delicious the desserts were. I had red velvet cupcakes and vanilla cupcakes for the guests then the wedding cake for me and my husband was double vanilla. It tasted AMAZING. You won’t regret booking them. I’m honestly sad that I live too far away to order another cake from them! Maybe I’ll get some next time I find myself back in town 🤤
Most of the time you can have a pretty treat or a tastey treat, some how the girls at Ellen Jay have mastered the art of giving you both. I have purchased more cookies than I can count and been on the receiving end of many Ellen Jay gifts as well. They package as beautifully and they decorate. I have never had a bad experience there. They are also professional, polite and are willing to help you figure out just what you need. Give them a try-or a taste- you won’t be disappointed.
Extra extraordinary sweetshop dont miss it....
Great and friendly service from the first phone call, to the email, and the pickup. The cake was fantastic, even though I picked it up Saturday and didnt eat it until Monday. Tasted unbelievable and was very moist. I think I have a new cake shop!! Thank you!!
Ive used Ellenjay for several events and even just to satisfy a spur of the moment sweet tooth. I have always had a great experience! The cookies are unlike any other.. not only are they beautiful but they taste wonderful too. They are perfect texture, sweetness, and always decorated to perfection! If you havent yet experienced I recommend you do so asap!
These girls are doing it right - Was drawn to their booth at theJunior League Christmas Bazaar - I saw their cupcakes in ajar (Id seen something similar on Shark tank) - Had to try them- ellenJAYs were better than the originals. Since then, Ive triedmost of their other products and am never disappointed. Sweetswith a flair - who could ask for more!
As soon as you walk in the shop, you know youve found something really unique. These ladies create food that is so beautiful you hate to eat it.... on second thought.....dont hold back.... everything taste fabulous too!
This is such a sweet bakery! Cakes, cookies, edible cookie dough and everything else I’ve had from this bakery are absolutely delicious! My favorite thing to get when I drop in are their yummy cake jars to go. Soooooo good!
I loved the cookies they made for my kids PAW PATROL BIRTHDAY PARTY! Although they did not have the copy rights to do the exact designs from the kids cartoon show, they used their own designs and added the colors of my kids party theme! I recommend everyone who loved the cookies to see EllenJay!!!!
The cake was beautiful, unique, moist, AND delicious! I was so impressed... often you have to sacrifice some of the flavor components when you get a specialty cake. What a relief to have delicious, melt-in-your-mouth buttercream, and moist, delicious cake.. all at the same time!Thank you again. I’m so glad you had space in your schedule for Peyton’s cake. 🤗(PS: we thought a sparkler / candle incorporated into the unicorn’s horn would be a cool touch 😉)Can’t wait for my next special occasion need so I can call y’all again!
I will tell you something about these ladies...they are FABULOUS! From our cake tasting all the way to the wedding day. They exceeded my expectations with our beautiful cookies, my wedding cake, and groom cake. They took are ideas and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfectly sweet. I cant wait to go back on our one year anniversary to get a cake from them!This is now our bakery for sure. I cant wait to have them be part of all our events for years to come with their delicious treats.Their prices are great and the customer service is out of this world.
EllenJay makes desserts that are works of art and taste Excellent. I have ordered many cakes from them along with cookies and other treats - my girls love when I pick up a treat from their cute shop too! They are easy to work with and the employees and owners are so nice and helpful!
The best bakery around. I use them for all my holiday events and Birthdays!! Or pick up tea cakes for any weekend!
I’m guessing I caught them at a bad time because I walked in and there was no clear understanding as to where the goods were located and where I would need to pay for them. There was a lady on the phone who immediately walked away when I entered the building, so after standing there momentarily, I decided to follow her path — not realizing she was a staff member going into the kitchen! After a bit of awkwardness, a kind clerk assisted me and shared that they were making some changes. Nevertheless, the supply was a bit small, and they didn’t have cupcakes; but my sweet tooth was relentless, so I indulged. I purchased red velvet cake in a jar and a chocolate chip Sammie with buttercream icing. Unfortunately, the buttercream for both desserts lacked butter. It was too sweet for my liking and didn’t have the texture I’m accustomed to. Further, the chocolate chip cookies were not very tasty. They seemed pretty dry and tasted as if they were at least a day or two old. I wish I’d had the experience so many others seemed to have had! I’m giving three stars solely for the kind clerk who assisted me, otherwise, I’d leave a one-star rating.
EllenJAY has THE best goodies - perfect for any occasion! From birthday gifts to party desserts, they are always a hit! Nothing is better than an ellenJAY Teacake and a cup of coffee in my opinion :)
First class service across the board! From seeing the product on instagram to calling the shop and having the ladies provide excellent service, to sending the cookies out of state and hearing rave reviews from my family. I will continue to do my business with ellenJAY!
Stylish desserts, loved my friends colorful birthday cake! Always love seeing the artistic cookies for different holidays & discounts available! 🍩🍮🎂
EllenJay is by FAR one of the BEST dessert shops in Mobile! Not only are they incredible service oriented, but their talent with recipes and design is incredible ! They create the CUTEST desserts and I LOVED trusting them with the dessert table at my own wedding! PLUS I love their work so much, I send their beautifully designed sugar cookies to my OWN clients as a gift! LOVE this business so much!
The best cake jars in Mobile
Amazing cookies! Hidden gem in Mobile.
Ellen Jay did a cake for our sons birthday party and it was so pretty and delicious. It couldnt have been any better. It was exactly what we wanted.
I had the strawberry cookie and it was just what I needed. Its so soft and flavorful with real strawberries in it. It just melts in your mouth. Ive been back twice.
Oh my gosh, where do I start with EllenJay??? Lauren and Jennifer and so friendly and truly love what they do — which is take the customer’s dream and make it reality. Everything is so yummy - my favorites are the tea cakes but the s’mores cake jars are out of this world also. When you consider the time and artistry that they put into their products, it is money well spent. I am really looking forward to the dessert table they are making for my daughter’s wedding reception.
I always loved the product, but their new sweet shop was meticulously done and loaded with goodies perfect of a quick and personal gift. Even better... they have an invitation and calligraphy business as a tenant! Total party planning place.
Wonderful to work with for your special event! Highly recommend this bakery and their gorgeous sweets for weddings and any special occasion.!!
EllenJay provided the cake for my sons After Rehearsal Dinner, and it was amazing. They delivered the cake on time with no worries for me. It was as pretty as it was delicious. Thank you EllenJay.
We had cookies made for my sons wedding rehearsal dinner. They were just what we wanted and taste was amazing!
Their treats are so sweet and yummy! They always manage to design the cakes and cookies perfect for the designated occasion, and they always taste great too!
From the pictures & reviews this place looked like it would be perfect for our wedding coming up. I was really exicted, until I realized they dont really care about making their customers happy, only making money. I realize the quality is beautiful & probably tastes amazing too, but when I contacted them inquiring about custom flavors (basically anything besides vanilla, chocolate, strawberry or lemon) they wanted to charge me $70 extra, & $200+ for a close by delivery, tack that on with the prices of the wedding cake ($15 charges left & right for everything they can find to charge you for) & them insisting you rent a $35 pedastal too, I would be looking at a outrageous bill. $70 extra for a custom flavor just tells me they dont want to have to run to the store to get literally the one ingredient to make the flavor we would like for our wedding cake, & that if they are going to do it well by God they are going to milk you for all the money they can.
Not only are they the best tasting and eye pleasing desserts in Mobile, but they have the very best customer service. I had to change my order 3 times for a special event and Jennifer was beyond accommodating.
The sweetest little sweets shop in Mobile. Will visit every time I’m in town.
All of their stuff is amazing. I ove the sammies, especially cookies n cream with sprinkles. My wife and always look forward to their seasonal items as well!
LOVE ellenJAY! They will make your event so special! Beautiful and yummy treats!!
The best Mardi Gras cookies!!!!
EllenJay is an excellent store ! Great customer service and they always have fresh treats to choose from. We love EllenJay!
I LOVE ELLENJAY!We used them for our wedding cake table because their Sammies are my absolute FAVORITE food! It was such a fun and enjoyable experience working with Jennifer and Lauren. They have THE best cookies! I love them so much I can honestly say they are my FAVORITE food! I am from Leroy, AL, which is about an hour and a half away from Mobile, AL and I cannot make a trip to Mobile without a stop at ellenJAY. My mother was diagnosed with stage four cancer in April and I have gone on and on about their cookies to her. I stopped by ellenJAY per usual when I am in Mobile, except this time I was getting my mom a cookie to try while she was in the hospital there. I got there on a day ellenJAY was closed and all I told them was that I want a cookie. They opened the doors to me that day when they did not have to and I was able to share with my mother my favorite food! It made both of our day! The cookies and the people there are so amazing! I have and will continue to tell everyone I can about how amazing ellenJAY is. The environment when walking into their store is so comforting and helpful! The owners are amazing! THANK YALL SO MUCH! MY FAMILY LOVES YOU!
Oh my god great experience and deserts where excellent
I cant say enough wonderful things about this place. ;)The customer service is stellar and you cannot beat the products. They are beautiful AND delicious and thats difficult to find. If you have not tried a sammie then stop in and pick one up. Better yet, order a dozen because they go fast! We love EllenJay!
Beautiful and delicious treats for a special occasion or just because!
I can always depend on the quality and originality of ellenJAY!
