Cake Crumbs

Delicious cakes!!! Bought a lemon, red velvet and pistachio cakes. All moist and yummy. Never disappointed.

Well, it’s something.
I came here every other morning for a week because it was the closest coffeeshop with wifi and I was waiting for a friend to finish her shift at a nearby establishment.
The breakfast sandwiches are solid, the pricing is fine, the place is cute, and the staff is friendly, but it’s always full of screaming children. If you like having your morning coffee in a place that’s as close to a daycare as possible without actually being one, then step right up.

They have definitely gotten better service and their cupcakes are divine. Still busy, but they now have enough staff to manage the crowds. Very responsive to unusual requests and extreamly friendly!

This place is a gem. I got two peanut butter cookies, two chocolate chip cookies, a slice of lemon cake, a slice of red velvet & 4 dog treats for my pups. The peanut butter cookies were the best I’ve ever had they were the perfect softness and thick in size. The chocolate chip cookies were my least favorite of everything I got, but they still were very tasty. The lemon cake was delicious and the red velvet was phenomenal! You could taste the cream cheese icing so well it was really a delicacy. My pups loved the treats, they looked like the shop made them themselves. Everything was so fresh and I will definitely be back.

Ok– this is my neighborhood bakery, and I love the idea of it, however, the execution could be better. I have been here about a dozen times– I am low maintenance, I need coffee, I understand that people and businesses have off days, and I like to support my neighborhood small businesses. Today however was my last day patronizing this shop.
The good: the location is great. It’s next to a yoga joint, and you can hang out and have coffee while waiting for yoga to start. It’s also kid friendly, which I guess, depending on your take, could also be a con given the sheer number of unruly toddlers to surly teenagers at any given time. Either way, I like the feel of a coffee shop that isn’t too strict to allow kids.
The bad: the food is meh on a good day, and I have realized, it’s terrible more often than not. My first experience was with bad, inedible food was with dry red velvet cupcakes. I didn’t order them ahead of time, stopped in for a dozen of what they had. About half were decent, and the other half were hard and stale. Bottom line is if a bakery knows that its products are not fresh, they should be advertised as so, in order to allow the customer to make an informed decision before purchase. I didn’t realize the error of Cake crumbs ways, until after singing happy birthday, and taking a regrettable bite into what was obviously inadequately stored cake from a few days ago.
Second bad experience: stale French macarons. Had them several times previously without incident. Stopped by to pick some up on my way to visit a friend. I got 12 dry, stale, rock hard macarons that had obviously been sitting out for a few days– to my utter embarrassment. I called to complain, and was told that they are not baked on site. That’s right– a bakery that does not bake its own goods! Le horror!
Few more bad experiences: inattentive barristas, that remind one of spring breakers. You know the kind– loud, giggly, discussing personal stories instead of attending to people waiting to order. More inconsistencies with food, for example, the croissants are sometimes overheated, or no one (out of 4 – 5 young people standing there, looking lost) knows where the spoons are when you order oatmeal to go. More often than not, when I get coffee in a mug, it is handed to me with hot brown liquid running down the sides, without a saucer. I once asked for a saucer and got a blank stare. «You know– a saucer– that little disk-​shaped thing that looks like a frisbee that you serve with a teacup». «Oh– right!». Wow!
The ugly: stale, microwaved breakfast burrito. What I want to know is, how hard is it to make a burrito? I received my burrito after a short wait. The tortilla wrap was rock hard, and the innards of my blanketed breakfast were unevenly hot– nuclear hot in some areas, and cold in others. Shocked that it was obviously a previously frozen burrito, nuked in the microwave, then blasted in the toaster, I asked if this was the case. «Yes». «Well, it was probably over-​microwaved as it is rock-​hard and inedible». «Oh, well it’s probably the toaster, we don’t use the microwave». Never mind that the other gal just admitted to using a microwave– which again, is not that big a deal, just not expected for a $ 6 burrito. Either way, I was out $ 6, and still hungry. I purchased a pastry instead, and made up the difference with a macaron. Apparently, I never learn– because, surprise, the macaron was stale and hard!
Bottom line– this is not a bakery in the sense that most customers hope it is. It is a store run by teenagers, selling marked up food purchased from real bakeries, or stores, then frozen, and regurgitated on a plate. This place does not even know how to use a microwave. Save your money. Spinelli’s bakery is up the street– they at least make their own burritos fresh in the kitchen, for a fraction of the price. In summary, cake crumbs should be called coffee crumbs– it’s a decent place to get coffee and hang out, but in my honest opinion, they have NO business preparing or serving food.

Sunny, sweet — literally– local spot. It’s nice in the morning if you want to relax and read the paper but be forewarned the weekday afternoons are the province of all things kids-​teens, moms and toddlers, teachers– all descend from the close surrounding schools… obviously a selling point if you have them!
Note: they stop serving lunch items at 2.

This is a review for four «take out» cupcakes on a Monday evening. I noticed the ton of stellar 5-​star reviews for their cupcakes, so perhaps I received an off-​batch. Cake Crumbs is legendary for their cupcakes and sweets. I happened to be in the area as I was driving home and realized I wanted cupcakes for my hubby and I to share on my birthday. They have a cute shop with a nice large, coffee-​shop ambiance in a really nice part of Park Hill. The young man behind the counter was really nice, and I got two mocha cupcakes, along with one chocolate and one vanilla. The cupcakes smelled divine and were pretty large.
When we finally ate them, both my husband and I noticed the the consistency of the cupcake was a little crumbly and dry, and while the cupcakes were sweet, they didn’t have any substantial flavor. The chocolate was practically indistinguishable from the vanilla and mocha. The frosting was great though.
I’d be willing to give them another shot since they have such a good reputation and they are a cute shop with good customer service.

Amazing little neighborhood place. Came looking for hot chocolate and found that and then some.

Go to neighborhood bakery and coffee shop.
Loved all the baked goods. Great atmosphere for a coffee date, reading a good book, or grabbing some breakfast/​brunch with a friend.

My neighborhood bakery and lunch place
I have ordered my cakes and cupcakes from here for dinner parties and gifts
But for lunch we love the chicken pot pie
It is fresh flaky hot and juicy
A big hit
Love the quiche which I buy for lunch the next day
The atmosphere is welcoming and fun
Great for family and kids

Amazing red velvet birthday cake, flavor and price for the quality!

I found this place last Saturday because I was craving a cinnamon roll and this place came highly rated — and I was not disappointed! The street that this bakery is on reminds me of Gaylord Street in Denver — locally owned businesses and restaurants. I had a Cinnamon Roll and coffee — both were exceptional! The reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because it is a bit pricey (the coffee and cinnamon roll were $ 7.00). But overall this place was great and I will be going back!

The staff here is super friendly and willing to help. Parking is on the street, but there’s plenty of spots. We ordered a blueberry muffin, two mini cookies, a mini chocolate croissant, an egg and cheese sandwich, and a white on white cupcake. Apparently we’re fatties. I also noticed we were the only ones eating in the place. Everyone else was just hanging out drinking coffee or working on their laptops. Cool place.
The food: overall was pretty good. The mini chocolate chip cookies were tasty. The egg and cheese sandwich was pretty nasty due to the egg. You know the free breakfast you get from hotels? That’s what this egg was like. It’s not real and it’s sponge looking. Don’t order that.

This place is great! The patio is wonderful, and as you wait for your coffee you can look at all of the delicious cupcakes, and breakfast treats. Today I tried the almond pastry and it was amazing– literally the best I’ve ever had. The coffee is consistently good, and the service is quick and friendly. The pastries are to die for. I ordered several different cupcakes for a friends birthday and all the flavors were wonderful. We particularly liked the cinnamon apple, as well as the chocolate and vanilla. The breakfast sandwiches and burrito are good too! A perfect start to the morning, or treat for afternoon!

I’ve visited Cake Crumbs on weekdays and weekends, busy times and quiet times. On a weekday at lunch time, there are some people eating sandwiches or sipping coffees, working on computers or chatting with a friend. I’ve also stopped in on a (rare) quiet morning where just a few people are scattered around the spacious space with a good book and a hot cup of coffee. MOST of the time though, this place is hopping. This is a favorite for families (and everyone else) in the neighborhood. The line can get quite long at peak times, but I believe it’s worth it.
Service is friendly, and they almost always make an effort to chat a little while grabbing items out of the bakery case and ringing me up. Once in a while they get a little backed up filling orders, but that’s pretty proportional to how slammed they get at times. It does seem like they employ a lot of high school or college age kids.
It’s very easy to order cupcakes ahead of time and pick up for a special occasion. I’ve done this for a friend’s birthday and the process was super simple. I’ve also stopped in at the very end of the day (as they’re wiping tables down and closing down shop for the night) just to pick up one item, and walked out with all of their leftover baked goods from that day. That shows you how fresh their items will be the following morning! :) (My colleagues were very grateful for the yummy boxes of goodies I put in the staff lounge the following morning.)
One tip– if you have your heart set on a certain kind of cupcake, call ahead to place an order or visit earlier in the day. If you stop in the late afternoon, they are often out of certain flavors (in particular, Red Velvet ones seem to fly off the shelves!) and are left with the more basic flavors.
Cake Crumbs has made a loyal customer out of me! So glad this is in my hood.

I suppose now that I live on this side of town I’ve found my new regular coffee spot and it’s so cute and friendly! Doesn’t hurt that they also have an assortment of freshly baked in house pastries on hand as well as some more substantial items like breakfast sandwiches and burritos. My personal favorite is the mini chocolate croissant. It’s heavenly without being over indulgent!
The coffee brewed is from novo and they make a mean latte. There is a little patio out front and plenty of people and their pooches congregate there. Inside the space is large with plenty of tables for meeting friends or whipping out your laptop and getting some work done.
The shops brings all kinds of people in. Neighbors, mommy groups, friends, working professionals, long time residents, and families all love it here. It’s definitely the go to hang out spot in the neighborhood and feels like an old friend greeting you whenever you stop in!

Got to love any bakery, especially one that offers gluten-​free treats and even breakfast items. it’s a great stop over when kids are done at gymnastics class and I just love the neighborhood!
It does get quite busy during breakfast time but I just love the community feeling and its very child friendly so I love to bring the little ones I take care of.

OMG! These cupcakes are delicious!
A fellow dental office just dropped by a sampling of six cupcakes (chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, lemon, banana, and coconut) and they are basically already gone! These were for sure some of the BEST cupcakes I’ve ever had. We’re talking moist, some had a meringue filling, cute topping, and a healthy dose of fabulous frosting!
I was taking a look at the bakeries website and they have some great offerings for breakfast and lunch available in addition to their sweets.
They also feature… Wait for it… A CUPCAKE TRUCK!
Mobile deliciousness here I come! Five stars ALL the WAYY!

This place could only get better if it was bigger and thus had more seating. The folks that work here are nice and efficient and the environment is both family friendly with a kids corner and also good or getting some computing done.
Coffee — awesome
Cookies — delicious
Cupcakes — Yummy
Quiche — CHOMP
Egg Sammies — Yes please
It’s all good! I go here all of the time and frankly I’m shocked I haven’t written a review yet.

Welcome to cupcake heaven! I have been here a few times but I don’t make it down to Denver often.
I love the fact that they offer gluten free options that are actually delicious. My mother, the celiac, really enjoyed the cupcakes. She said normally g/​f baked items are very dry, these however were very moist, and delicious!
I ordered the «father» of all cupcakes… «The King»! Holy flavor explosion. First of all, it has bacon, my favorite food group. It was a banana flavored cupcake with actual bacon INSIDE of the cupcake, it was topped with a peanut butter frosting with more bacon. If I loved closer I would have diabetes and be 500 lbs from eating these amazing creations!
Well done Cake Crumbs, you’ve created an addict! I’ll be looking for any excuse to go to Denver now!
