Tried one item and it was the chocolate chip cookie. Way too sweet and didn’t have that classic taste that I look for in a good CC cookie. The real issue I have is with their owner. I was recently hired as a delivery driver by Jen and was incredibly excited to finally work again. I’m a broke dude with stage four metastatic cancer. I deal with a lot of rejection in the corporate world because of my condition. So you can imagine how encouraged I felt when Jen decided to give me a chance and took me on as an employee. I completed two training sessions and was constantly told how excited they were to have me and how they thought I was the perfect fit. Then things started to become a little sketchy as Jen decided to backtrack on our original agreement over money and payment. Nonetheless, I did my best to work out a new deal with her in good faith that it would all work out just fine. Only to be fired later that day via text message. Not only that, I had to pry for an explanation out of her. No apology. No phone call. Disingenuous business owners like Jen really bother me. She has no issues writing explicit and provocative political slogans on cookies. However, behind the scenes she will gladly fire someone with a terminal disability. She made a mistake and refuses to take accountability. After completing my training, I can tell you that her staff aren’t entirely happy working for her either. The business is not her main priority and it shows. Unfortunately, I now have to go back to asking the public for money so I can pay my medical expenses. This whole ordeal really crushed my spirits and has made it more difficult maintaining the will to survive in a world where people like Jen exist.

We absolutely love Jen's Pastries. We would go more often if their hours allowed it. The pastry they have named a "pop tart" absolutely redefines what you think of when you hear that term. It's so good. The cruffins are amazing. We have not had a bad item yet. It's all so good. Sometimes there can be a line before they open, but I would not let that dissuade you. Wait in the line and enjoy these pastries.

I love Jen's for their well crafted pastries, their creative flavor combos, and their kind and welcoming staff. They made my custom wedding cake back in June and it was so beautiful and delicious. Jen's emails helped me navigate the flavor options to create the perfect cake for us (we went with blackberry pistachio and it was insane). Pickup was a breeze, and the price was very affordable for my situation.

The setup at Jen's is a little unorthodox since you have to wait in line in a parking lot to order pastries but once you take a bite of ANY of their creations, you know you'd wait hours if you had to. They sell out of items quickly so get there as soon as they open! It would be so awesome if they could get a larger brick-and-mortar so customers could sit inside!

some of the most DEEELICIOUS baked goods i’ve had. They have such a large selection of options on the menu and all have been so good. only downside is the long wait line to get to order but that’s due to many people ordering right at open. Best to get there as early as you can but i’d say it’s worth it ;)

This person’s baking is defs amazing so yummy some treats are on the overt sweet side but for the most part all of the treats are perfect and delicious with fun flavors that are consistently changing! I’m not a fan of the standing a line outside in the cold waiting forever but that’s literally it the cashier is always so nice and helpful!!

I’ve been dying to try this place after following along on Instagram for a while and now it’s become a weekend morning tradition. I usually don’t like scones because they are dry and without flavor HOWEVER: these scones are to die for! So yummy and the icing makes them even better. I’ve tried multiple and I can’t decide which one I liked best and I love that there is always new things every week to try! Every single cake slice that I managed to get my hands on have been so rich and in flavor, the buttercream is just the perfect amount, also the bolos are super yummy. The girls working here are super nice and helpful with questions or recommendations! I could go on and on but long story short: this place is wonderful and I would give it 6/5 stars if google would let me.

I discovered the lemon earl gray cookies at Above Grnd and I am in love! Finding your business and seeing all of your offerings, I'm so excited to try more!

The strawberry matcha scone we had was good, however the pain au chocolate was incredibly stale. It tasted like it had been sitting out for 2 days.

Of the several vegan pastries available, I chose a snickerdoodle cookie. It was a little sweeter than I prefer, but still delicious.
