Crumbs Bake Shop

5 stars for staff, 2 stars for establishment. Décor so undesirable for a cupcake/​bakery store. Tables with logo stickers on them peeling off, tables old too. Wooden bench made of two slabs a painted wood with an outlet that you lean on with no cover plate on it so exposed, that’s just dangerous. Hope they read this and fix. In the middle of store is a cafeteria type table, at least put a table cloth on it, it cheer the place up. Cupcakes so sweet would put anyone in a sugar coma, but some like cupcakes that way so that is subjective, but extremely pretty cuocakes, great for an office gift or birthday, I just don’t like them personally. Breakfast selection limited, muffins used to be okay, but again those to went down hell, maybe new baker. Croissants are not croissants. Basically cupcakes taste very processed maybe chemical ingredients to perserve, thus I don’t know. Excellent coffee, but I’m rating the bakery, as it’s not a coffee shop. They need to check out
Martha’s Bake shop and Melissa’s cupcakes to get an idea how to update this location. *****5 stars for staff. **two for place.

Ok I’m a sucker and went back. Not for cupcakes but for their coffee which I heard is pretty good. $ 2 later for a small and it was pretty good! Go for the coffee and pastries but skip the cupcakes I’d say.

My favorite cupcakes ever! There used to be many locations throughout the United States and their semi recent bankruptcy left me with a broken heart. So happy to see some still are around.
They have so many flavors to try, but you can’t go wrong with any of them! The cupcakes are moist and the frosting has such a unique sweetness that you don’t get from a traditional cupcake. My favorites are the Brownie, Milkshake and Chocolate Peanutbutter !

2.5 stars for the cupcakes. I think most people would like the cupcakes, I am just particular about them and seek cupcakeries wherever I am.
Pros: Big cupcakes. $ 3.99 for four or more cupcakes. Friendly staff. Place to sit.
Cons: Cupcakes are on the drier side and taste pretty average. Selection is not the greatest.
Coconut-​Vanilla is the most worthy one.

I had an indulgent day and needed something Gluten free, worth the calories and absolutely delicious. Walked in and was so excited they had the most amazing selection of GF cakes all in individual serving containers. They don’t make the cakes on site they come from a GF kitchen. WOW! The cakes are so good, not overly sweet like many GF products are to overcompensate for being GF. They are light and fluffy and you can’t tell they are GF. They will also give you samples if you aren’t sure which variety to get. Believe me it was hard to choose as they are all so good, but I did settle on the strawberry shortcake. I don’t treat myself to these goodies on a regular basis but when in NYC this is my go to place. The staff is so nice and helpful. There are some tables so you can have your treat and relax. This crumbs is worth the trip.

I wish this location offered the normal sized cupcakes instead of the big goofy diabeetus sized option. Takes too long to eat and it makes a mess.

Their cupcakes are HUGE! Got the cannoli cupcake, boston crème cupcake, and carrot cake to eat.
Best: Carrot Cake Cupcake. The carrot cake cupcake has the authentic carrot taste and spices, as well as raisins in it. Also, the cream icing was tasty too (but not as creamy as I wanted it to be, like Georgetown Cupcakes). Each cupcake is about $ 4.50 each? But, if you buy them in bulks (4, 8, 12, etc.), they’re cheaper. I felt so full after eating three cupcakes, my goodness!
The cannoli cupcake was cute since it had an actual cannoli on top… I felt the cannoli was too sugary for my taste but the cake was good. The boston crème cupcake was too dense for me and I had to wash it down with water, but the filling helped since it was very custardy!

The best cheesecake which I ever ate in NY! Number one!!! Number two is Juniors i think))

I’m so happy they are back! Or rather, my boyfriend is so happy they are back!
I love that they are now offering more then just cupcakes, don’t get me wrong, the cupcakes are awesome, but sometimes you aren’t always in the mood for cupcakes. Sometimes, you just like to mix it up.
On my last trip to crumbs, I was picking up a box of cupcakes for my boyfriend’s work anniversary. I picked out the box of twelve and brought it to the counter. The girl at the counter was nice enough to tell me the six pack, which has larger cupcakes, was actually buy one get one half off. Well, my boyfriend will love that… twist my arm counter girl, why don’t you. Of course I bought two six packs.
To say my boyfriend was happy is a complete under statement. He was so excited. This is my cupcake place. I do wish they would bring back the girl scout cupcakes, my boyfriend loved those. who am I kidding, so did I.

I went to this Crumbs Bake Shop in New, York, NY on 6÷2÷2010. It was my 1^st time there. It was also my 1^st time in any Crumbs Bake Shop. My bill that day was $ 7.75. Good food and good service.

The employees are friendly and knowledgable on which cupcakes are best sellers. There is a special for ice tea and ice coffee for $ 1.09 on certain days and times when I stopped by throughout the summer. I love the berry ice tea they serve. What I am not fond of are the black and white cookies. The cookie is too sweet for my liking, but if you have a sweet tooth go for it! I have also purchased four cupcakes previously, and remember the red velvet cupcake being too dry whereas the peanut butter cupcake and the mint cupcake were fine. This Crumb location also has Dippin Dots ice cream for purchase. Unfortunately, there are no restrooms nor Wifi at the shop.

Huge cupcakes but way too sweet and a little dry. Still good for a sweet fix! If you go here take your cupcakes to Bryant park!

Ordered a bavarian cream crumb nut (awesome!) and a pbj brownie. Received regular brownie for $ 5. Unhappy!!! I repeated myself and showed the girl and they weren’t even busy…
I paid $ 8.48 in total to be relatively unhappy. If I wasnt in a rush I’d go back.

I was so happy when it was saved from going out of business. This is my go to place for every occasion. All the cupcakes from here are amazing. My favorite is the blackout cupcake. If you are not too sure what to get I recommend the sampler. It contains mini cupcakes and you get to try most of them.

Bought a slice of cheese cake and a slice of carrot cake yesterday, after work. I ate the cheese cake as soon as I got home. It was wonderful. This morning, I decided to eat my carrot cake and noticed that it wasn’t fresh and tasted horrible. I can’t believe this! I usually stop here weekly for my favorite carrot cupcake which they were out and never had a bad experience before. I am very disappointed and upset that I wasted $ 5 bucks!

I’ve always heard about crumbs and decided to try it during my visit in NY. They do have a large selection of flavors but after trying a few I feel that they turned out to be a bit dry and I came during the morning which means they should have been fresh. They are of pretty decent size so I guess the upside of having one of these is you could throw it at someone you hate and chances you wouldn’t miss.

They have alot of fun flavors and huge size, but their taste isn’t the best. It can sometimes be a little dry and lacking in the taste department as compared to other cupcake places in the city.

For our friend’s birthday, we wanted to get him a little something to celebrate but was stumped on where to go.
Our local friend suggested Crumbs for their cupcakes. We decided to go for the variety mini pack since it allowed him to pick what he wanted and saved us the hassle of picking a la carte.
When we had the cakes the day of they were moist and tasty. A few days later, the leftovers were still surprisingly moist. It was hard to share the minis so keep that in mind.
Overall Thoughts
For a small local bake shop chain, Crumbs does deliver on making decent baked goods

Came here with a friend to grab some sweets after shopping. This is my first time eating crumbs cupcake. We ordered the Reese cupcake and chocolate chip. The size of these cupcakes were good, not too small and not too big! In terms of the tasting, I thought it was nothing special. But overall we left the place satisfied due to the cravings of sweet!

Gros craquage en fin de journée après une longue marche dans le froid: les cupcakes de Crumbs sont délicieux!
Vous avez tellement de choix que la décision est dure dure: Carrot cake, Total Blackout, Key Lime Pie, Happy Birthday, Red Velvet, … Tous les classiques y sont!
A côté du nom des gâteaux, vous pouvez y voir le nombre de calories que vous allez manger… Creepy! Au moins 500 calories chacun! 4 et vous avez votre apport journalier! Et ils sont énormes… Taille US quoi!
Mais il sont tellement moelleux, bien garnis, originaux dans la conception. Par exemple, le Key Lime Pie était constitué d’une couche de tarte sucrée, de génoise citronnée, d’une coeur lemon curd et d’un glacage citronnée avec des zestes de citrons verts… Une belle tuerie!
Les prix sont entre 3.5 $ et 4.9 $! Il y a également des whoopies, des brownies, …
Bref, je recommande vivement d’y faire après ou avant une bonne balade histoire de se donner bonne conscience!

Disappointed, and not even because it’s overly hyped. These cupcakes are actually just bad.
Definitely not freshly baked either. I thought the appeal of these might be that they don’t take on your regular cupcake shape. Crumbs makes theirs a lot wider than typical cupcakes and generally feels a lot denser when you’re carrying it in your little to-​go container. I’m not really sure if it’s a west coast thing because it seems to vary by bakery but Sprinkles, Kara’s, and many other cupcake shops have utilized a simpler/​modern frosting design with smooth coils of frosting and a single button or garnish to top it off. Crumbs has made the traditional method of frosting work by differentiating themselves with these huge cupcakes. That might be the only good thing about them though — unconventional design. And even then I’m not sure I like it because it just feels tackier.
At this point, I might be biased though. so the key takeaway would be not to waste your money on one of these. Instead, head over to Billy’s in Chelsea or the wealth of other lovely bake shops throughout the city that’ll offer you much higher quality (as in freshly baked/​smoother frosting) cupcakes at similar prices. Crumbs must’ve really meant it with the crumbly (and dry) cupcakes by their name.

Une chose est sûre: Crumbs né nous voile pas la face. Ils n’y vont pas par quatre chemins pour nous vendre leurs pâtisseries bien fat. Pas de versions light ou de demi-​portions. Ici, la gourmandise est un vilain défaut qu’on assume pleinement.
Moyenne des calories pour chaque cupcake: 500! Et non, je né plaisante pas. C’est bien indiqué en grand.
En fait, qu’en j’y pense 3 de leurs cupcakes pourraient me faire mes repas de la journée.
Comme dirait la sœur de Rachel dans Friends: «once on your lips forever in your hips» mais qu’à cela né tienne! Ces cupcakes sont tellement bons que je veux bien faire deux heures de Just Dance pour déculpabiliser.
Dans les faits, je l’ai mangé en deux fois. Impossible à terminer d’un trait (pour moi. Pour d’autres, ce n’était manifestement pas un problème ;)
Il était moelleux à souhait. Pas trop sucré. Vraiment parfait.
Plusieurs autres parfums (dont carrot cake, le cupcake de la damnation à 600 calories) me donnaient vraiment envie mais mon choix s’est porté sur le Blackout (juste 450 calories): au chocolat avec glaçage au chocolat et des pépites de chocolat. Oui, rien que ça.
Je vous recommande de tester ces cupcakes si vous êtes dans le coin. C’est un plaisir des yeux, et du palais cette boutique.
