The food is tasty but pricey. The staff looks unapproachable but will serve you. This is a pick up and go location. There are no seats and the place is tiny The name will carry it's business. The store is situated next to a Broadway play so the "let out" crowd will always be hungry after sitting in a show for three hours with no snacks so the business will be continuous for Crumbs.
It's nice to know there is a hole in the wall Crumbs here so i can always have something to bring over a friends place when I visit for good gestures give how scarce Crumbs has become.
This place is near my husband's office n surprisingly we have been here once only. The place is small with a limited variety of cupcakes but they all look delish. However we tried a low fat nutty banana yogurt muffin and a Nutella Cronut! The muffin was a bit bland but the Cronut was delicious. Wud love to go again!
My stars are accurate, "Meh. I've experienced better." The cupcakes were huge, but I believe that's what made them soooo dry. Bigger isn't always better, if you know what I mean! lol
When I arrived the bakery wasn't busy at all and it was very small. Just two tables for seating, very bland décor. Not sure what the theme was as it just looked like a store with a counter. I was greeted and served well. The ladies were very sweet! I ordered the White Chocolate Raspberry and the Vanillia Celebration cupcakes. Pricing was not too bad. So I took them back to the hotel. Later that evening, bit into one and immediately did not like the icing flavor. Very artificial tasting. I ended up throwing them out because they were so dry.
Not sure what else to say about this bakery as they aren't terrible, just not the best. So far in my trip, I wasn't really impressed with the food in New York.
Pricey cupcakes that are consistently better than average.
Don't judge a book by its cover. Cupcakes look so good with all different types of toppings. I chose the peanut butter cupcake. Globs of frosting with no taste. The chocolate cake was moist but had a hint of chocolate taste. It was a bland, underwhelming experience. Not my type of cupcake.
Ok, so here we are again trekking through the financial district of New York and low and behold we come across another cupcake location. Apparently there is a Crumbs location in DC but the hubby and I have not been to that location. So hey–why not try this location we stumbled upon? So in we go! Once inside we took a look at the selection of cupcakes and the frosting looked as if it was done at someone's home by their 4 year old. Ummm –but we didn't let that stop us.. I choose the strawberry something cupcake and the hubby choose a raspberry flavored cupcake. The prices weren't bad but after biting into my cupcake– I see why.. My strawberry cupcake tasted as if it was made from store bought mixing and as if it had been sitting in the store for a couple of days–in other words it tasted stale and as if it was not original. The raspberry cupcake had vanilla flavor cupcake mix and raspberry filling in it. I thought this tasted better but the hubby was not impressed. We ended up leaving with a not so great taste in our mouth. I am giving them a two because the raspberry gave the strawberry cupcake a life line-if I had only tasted the strawberry, Crumbs would surely have a one star.
For a store that specializes in cupcakes, they don't do it as well as they should.
I do appreciate a more proportionate cake to icing ratio, but the entire cupcake by itself was way too sweet.
Overall, I think there are better cupcake alternatives out there in the big city.
This place is very cute and accommodating. They have seats for about 4-6 people and an outlet where you can charge your phone or other devices.
Their cupcakes, cookies and other desserts come in neat packaging and their designs and flavors are appealing. It is a great spot if you are craving a baked, sweet good on-the-go or to eat there. It is also a good spot to pick up treats for a loved one whether it is for a birthday or other celebration.
The cashier I had was new at that time so it took a while to scan the products, and she asked assistance from her co-worker. Other than that, they were very friendly and kind. Their treats may run a bit high since they are located by Times Square but it is a good place to stop by every now and then.
