Crumbs Bake Shop

I don't eat cupcakes very often, but this is a reliable choice if you need a little fix. The cake is always perfect. My only issue is too much icing (I know, most people love it). That's how I discovered that the Blackout is the perfect choice for me – low icing factor, and very very chocolatey. It's quite a treat.
Strangely enough, I often pop in here just to get a coffee. It's Starbucks brew but when I'm in the mood for a simple misto (with Pike Place roast) and I don't want to wait in a long line, this is where I go. The people who work here are so nice and they always make a perfect misto when I visit. And you are surrounded by bright, happy colors and cupcakes! What more can you ask for?
Someone had brought a cake over to our place and it was actually pretty decent. It didn't have any unique flavors, just chocolate cake and chocolate frosting – but it was super moist. Imagine the cake you get from a mix you buy from the supermarket…. not as bad as I was expecting considering it was from Crumbs.
Black and white milkshake cupcake – Tastes like marble bread! I like marble bread 🙂 Could do without the circular chocolate sprinkles on it. Larger than your average cupcake as well. Was a little on the drier side though 🙁
Crumbnut with cinnamon sugar – Not quite a donut, not quite a croissant (which I think they were trying to emulate…). I guess I was expecting more of a croissant-like flakiness with the flavor of a donut, but it was a bit bland and a bit dense for my taste. It might be better with the creme filling option?
I would come back to try their different cupcake flavors, since they seem really unique. But I wouldn't order the two above again.
I was disappointed when most of the Crumbs locations closed, but glad to see that some survived!
The cupcakes don't have that "homemade" feeling but they're still very good. My favorite is the cookie dough cupcake – thick frosting (not too soft), cookie on top, and a bit of chocolate filling inside. They have huge cupcakes, regular-sized cupcakes and mini cupcakes. This location also offers discounts sometimes – they'll put a sign up. I got one for $3.99, which was about a .50 savings. They also sometimes have happy hour deals. It seems like sometimes they have lots of cupcakes and sometimes they run out of the good flavors.
It doesn't seem like this place is all that well organized or a place to hang out, but if you want to pop in for a cupcake or two, I would recommend.
Typical Crumbs. Nothing special about this location. We all know the cupcakes are good, we all know the prices are not so good. I like the convenience of this location since it's so close to my office. It's good for a quick sugary treat or if it's a coworker's birthday and you didn't have time to bake them cupcakes….Or you just dislike them.
I don't understand the hype about this place at all. The prices are a bit high but all things considered, so is everything in NYC. However, the cupcakes are far from the best I have ever had & although I am no baker, I have made cupcakes more moist & delectable. I had a gift certificate for winning a role play game at an educational workshop (yes, I am histrionic to the core) & stopped in to get a cupcake for myself & a friend & chose the chocolate peanut butter cupcake. Listen, it's not like we didn't eat them, but they were simply just okay…certainly nothing to rave about. I also chose a chocolate chip M & M cookie & it was so incredibly stale & hard. Lame. I'll stick to my favorite bakery in Long Island, Dortoni's for all things dessert from now on.
Cute little shop with tons of options to choose from. It's almost overwhelming. I got something I normally wouldn't try.. The apple crumb cupcake and it was to die for. One of the best cupcake stops in the city and a must try!
Pretty good cupcakes. I got the mini's that ended up being on sale because they could not sell it by a certain time that day. All were really good! I loved the red velvet, birthday cake, and cookies and cream! The service was really good when I came in too. Not a long wait at all.
