Crumbs Bake Shop

Got the birthday cake cupcake– it was delicious! ~$ 4, so on line with other NYC cupcakes, but a huge cupcake. Didn’t try their coffee, but it looked great!

Got the cobbler –that’s my go-​to cupcake. The location is convenient — right across from 92Y. The service is awesome too –the girls behind the counter are friendly. Usually get my grub to go. All in all –I’m a happy customer.

I stop here at least once a month as I have a standing appointment upstairs. First off, I love their coffee! Love! Love! Love! I have had almost everything on the Coffee Menu and each one is great. They now offer Almond Milk which is a huge plus for me as it’s my fave. The cupcakes are great, you will pay much more at other places and the cupcakes and not half as yummy. Plus — Drumroll — The now have Cannoli!!! As a ½ Italian I love any beverage, dish or dessert that originates from the boot!!! Well… Cannoli originated in Sicily. Whatever, they have them and they are delicious!!! I wish the seating was better but that is a small knock. Lastly, the young ladies that work here are super nice and super helpful. I’d stop in more often if it is was in my neighborhood. But I look forward to my monthly check in. 4 solid stars.

Crumbs is so delicious. I would like to try one of each. I asked if they would sell me just one of the smallest cupcakes like Baked by Melissa does. I was told I had to buy the whole box.
If I buy a box I’ll eat the whole thing! No can do.
This location has a nice clean counter where you can sit. I can look out the window to people watch. The counter help was very nice. That is when she finally came out from the back. She did not realize she had two customers waiting.
I think I’ll stick with Baked by Melissa. Crumbs is good when you’re really ready to pig out!

My first chain cupcake shop experience in NY. And I got the cronut– which was actually pretty good. Decided to try their cupcakes– not really my thing. I’m that person who likes a little cake with my frosting, and the ratio here was definitely more in favor of the (pretty dry) cake than the (kinda crusty/​hard) icing. Thought the cupcake had been out too long the first time– wasn’t better the second time, so I probably won’t be back for cupcakes. But maybe for dippin’ dots or a cronut.

I am personally a fan of crumbs but I give their cupcakes 4 out of 5 because they are a bit too sweet for my taste but they are beautiful cupcakes.
HOWEVER! Im giving this location a big whopping 5 stars because the fact that this nice young gal working there (I wish I got her name) was SUPER friendly, and nice enough to let me borrow her phone for like what must have been 30 minutes on a work emergency call! I drained her battery to like 14% and she still let me run back in 10m later to make ANOTHER call!
So Im giving it 5 stars just cuz of the fact that the service was AWESOME!
(also the cronut and iced coffee I bought was pretty freakin good)

Depression food
Not as in the era
As in, the mental state
Glad those times are over

I want to much to like this Crumbs — but after 3 times of bad service — I feel the need to write about it — however I will probably still go back because these cupcakes are OK and there really isn’t another good cupcake place near my son’s schools.
For one of my son’s birthday parties — the cake I bought was tasteless and the escription on the cake was so thin and blurry — it looked like it was written on it a few days prior and the cake tasted very stale. the strawberries were so old and mushy and when I asked the guy if they could be replaced the answer was — we just get it. there is nothing we can do about it.
This guy that I am talking about should be in a totally different type of business — he handles the cupcakes like footballs. When we picked up the cake that had very tiny enscription (for a kids party) with the rotten strawberries — he asked really dumb questions — do you want it in a crumbs box? at this point — yes — because no body would believe it would be from crumbs
We bought a similar cake from Crumbs at Columbia University the week before for my other son — and had a totally diff experience — there the engraving was done at the shop and the people who worked there were really excited about the cake and were really proud of how beautiful it looked.
I am actually on the phone now with the same guy and he tells me that they won’t take american express… and they take it every time I go in there. AGHH

I love love love crumbs everything but the carrot cake slice I had …:(I didn’t like it I love everything else but… eww I couldn’t finish it I was disappointed. Counter girl was nice and provided good service… but I’ll never buy carrotcake again It was hard and gummy… I’m usually a sucker for carrot cake

Location is nice, very bright and crisp inside with some bar seating. It’s a little annoying the way the cupcakes are displayed with no description; if you want to find out about several cupcakes you have to ask for all the descriptions! The lady behind the counter was super nice though!
I used to hate Crumbs because I thought it was artificial and the cake was dry. Not this time since they reopened! I got the rainbow cookie cupcake. It was almond cake with raspberry jam in the middle and chocolate frosting. It was amazing! The cake was moist and a little dense. There could have been more jam in the middle. The frosting was good, but I preferred the cake plain.
Obviously, if you go to Crumbs, you know what you’re getting yourself into. The cupcakes are huge with a lot of calories and they are $ 5 a pop. Honestly, it’s too big for a «little treat». I think it would be fun to buy a bunch and share with people, so you get to try a little of everything. It’s better to bring as a gift to somebody than to just try to tackle one by yourself.

Service with a smile all the time, love the serves here and im so happy they are back. So close to work its just great. How could you dislike this place?

Delicious indeed! And kosher no less! But pain $ 6.00 + per cupcake is downright robbery.
They carry all those sweet things that you really want, but you really shouldn’t eat. They brew Starbucks coffee. They sell dippin dots, and mash soda.
The place is not at all accessible to those with disabilities: be they mobility, vision, or hearing…
The girl behind the counter was pretty snooty, but the guy behind the counter was warm and accommodating, even though he tended to speak like he was from the hood even thought he was at this expensive trendy place. …he didn’t fit the expectations but actually in a good way!

Reopened within the last week! Exactly the same, right down to the fixtures and friendly staff.
I didn’t realize how much I missed them til they were gone [sniff!]

Good lord the cupcakes are HUGE! At first, I was skeptical because I’ve tried Georgetown’s cupcakes and I wasn’t too impressed. I assumed something so large had to skimp on the flavor of the icing or cake or maybe even both.
Boy was I wrong. I had the red velvet and it was delicious. This is coming from a red velvet snob! I’m very picky about my red velvet to the point where I won’t even buy a slice of red velvet from the grocery store. I’m a southern diva and I like my red velvet to be delicious thank you very much.
Not only was I NOT disappointed, I was impressed. The cake was moist and the icing was perfect. I’m so glad I do not live in Manhattan. I’d probably be here at least once every other day.

Despite all the hype of Crumbs bakery, it really didn’t live up to its name. I’ve ordered their Cookies and Cream, Red Velvet Cupcake, Brownie, and Carrot Cupcakes. Out of the 4 the Carrot was best. The other 3 times I’ve had these, the cake was dry and didn’t carry much flavor. I’m thinking that since they make these «huge» cupcakes, its needs longer cook times in the oven — not good for keeping cupcakes moist. The frosting was a little too sweet — there was no balance! It tasted like they needed to pack more sugar and taste into the frosting to compensate for the stale cake. I’ve been to the shop both in the morning and afternoon and both times the cupcakes were mediocre. I would give some points for unique variety? But most cupcake stores have their own signature cupcakes as well.
Plus points for good service, and they did serve coffee there which was nice.
I would say there are definitely better cupcake shops in manhattan. Don’t go to crumbs just because of the brand name!

:CRUMBS!!!:
Now that I got your attention …
So, this isn’t the best cupcake I’ve ever had … not by a long shot … but … it’s a cupcake and cupcakes are my weakness! I’M MELTING!
This location is pretty solid. They tend to have all the flavors in stock, fresh coffee, some seating, and so on. They also have a rather solid staff — always friendly, and willing to give their suggestions.
I tend to get the Squiggle (at least as of late), but sometimes it’s a bit too dry for my liking. The coffee tends to go rather well with the giant cupcake that’s the size of your hand.
Like I said, this place isn’t THE best place for cupcakes, but they have lots of variety for the picky cupcake consumer, and if you’re worried about the 300+ calories that reside in one cuppy, it’s super easy to share one with a friend/​date/​dog/​bum. Just ask for a fork and knife. Total judge-​free zone here regardless.
:END CRUMBS!!!:

Very good cupcakes! I love all the different varieties of cupcakes from one that looks like the famous Hostess cake (called the «Squiggle») to a Cookies and Cream cupcake. I had the Blackout cupcake and it was delicious! The center of the cupcake was gooey and chocolatey but I wish the icing was a little more creamy. I also had the Cookies and Cream cupcake and it tasted exactly like the ice cream flavor but again, the icing was not creamy enough (but then again, I love decadent and super heavy icing on my cakes). Also, the $ 0.99 iced coffee deal is a steal and the coffee is pretty darn good.
I do love the packaging also! I was visiting my sister in NY and I brought a cupcake all the way back to Philly and everything was still intact. The special box held the cupcake in place so it was not rolling around in the container. Most cupcake places in Philly just throw it in a huge box and by the time it gets from point A to point B, it’s just crumbs and a big mess of icing.
I would definitely go back to Crumbs the next time I’m in New York!

If you answer yes to ALL or most of the following questions then CRUMBS is the place for you!
1. Do you like cupcakes? ESPECIALLY huge ones? ;-)
2. Do you like to consume 600+ calories in one sitting?
3. Do you like cloyingly sweet desserts that may make you a diabetic if you consume it regularly?
4. Do you enjoy options?
Crumbs cupcakes are most definitely NOT the best cupcakes out there. But when I’m PMSing and only chocolate does the trick, their mud-​whatever chocolate cupcake really does it. Overall their cupcakes have WAY TOO many calories, WAY TOO much sugar, and are WAY TOO big for anyone’s own good.
But that chocolate has me going back… once every 6 months. If you love yourself, I suggest you do the same.

Three Words: Cupcakes on steroids
And I loved every last bite of them. I haven’t been to too many boutique cupcake places like this but when I walked in, I was in heaven. The cupcakes are HUGE and they have such a wide variety, I had to spend a good five minutes just looking over the case of cupcakes to decide what to get. I decided on the Grasshopper and Good Guy and they were both amazing. They had really cute names for the cupcakes as well (such as Team Edward, Team Jacob, Artie Lang, etc.)
I am so happy I don’t live near one of these because I would be in serious trouble if I did!

Crumbs came highly recommended by a foodie friend, so of course I had to make a stop. I’m a sucker for all things red velvet [
, so once I saw that, I was sold.
The cupcake was really big, and since we had just finished a meal (or two), we decided to just split one. That turned out be a great idea, since the cake was extremely sweet.
I think what makes Crumbs red velvet different is the amount of sprinkles they put on top. It literally covers the entire side, leaving the middle for an insane amount of icing.
Maybe good for kids, but definitely not good for me. Shouldn’t be crashing on sugar highs anymore…
