Crumbs

great spot but update…
this place is closed

I brought someone here to buy cupcakes for her son’s classmates to celebrate his birthday and she treated me to a red velvet cupcake. Oh my… it was delicious. Not too sweet, nice and moist… absoulutely lovely. If not for the distance (deeper downtown Brooklyn), I’d visit often…(I guess that’s a blessing in disguise so I don’t go and gain weight… hehehe)

Cupcakes are good for the most part but stay away from the crumbnut. It’s terrible and nothing like the real thing. It’s chewy and gooey and just bleh.

*I like the Cupcakes but Not Love. Customer Service is Average, not Impressed but Not Overwhelming*

I gained so much weight because of this place. I used to come here on my hour and a half break between classes, get a cup of coffee and a muffin and write every tuesday and thursday. It was very relaxing but when I started watching my health, I had to give crumbs up.
I still roll up on special occassion for their cupcakes.
And the staff is fantastic. I hate these people saying staff was rude because of an imagined slight. I went there around 30 times in 3 months and they were consistantly great.

Cupcake Heaven!

Loved the apple cobbler cupcake, but not the calories or the price. For that amount of calories in addition to the cost of $ 3.95 and up, I’ll have to make these visits few in number.

I just don’t get the hype about these things. They’re fine cupcakes but for the price I expect a mind blowing cupcake. Annnnnnd what’s up with all the frosting? So much. Too much!

I honestly don’t see what the big deal is. I can make cupcakes like this, and then pile on a half pound of sugar onto each one. That doesn’t really make it good. Its the dessert equivalent of adding too much salt and everyone saying OMG that’s delicious, when really it just has too much salt.
The cupcakes are okay, but for the price and size, I would;ve expected something more scrumptious not just sugar on top of a mediocre cupcake batter. I’ve had better cupcakes at kindergarten birthday parties. =P

This place has the worst customer service ever! Before I could get in the door good, didn’t get a chance to get my mouth watering for the type of cupcake I wanted I was attacked by the two workers. their attitude made it very uncomfortable for me to choose, so I just chose a few quickly and got the hell outta there.
God forbid I asked a question about the cupcakes I think I would have been stoned.
However the cupcakes were very homelike and delicious! However I will not go out of my way to go back there.

Cupcakes! I doubt any place can top the ones my grandma used to bake for me when I was a kid but that doesn’t stop me from searching.
I had the Lemon Cupcake (and bought a Red Velvet cupcake for later) with some milk. maybe it’s because they just put these cupcakes out but that lemon cupcake was awesome. it was huge. not really a bad thing and there was a shit ton of frosting on it (which was kinda too sweet for my liking but the cupcake itself kind of saved it from those negatives.
The red velvet, which I had later on that night, (don’t judge) was okay. I mean, I’ve had better. It was kinda disappointing.

Review as of 08−12−12. I love CRUMBS :) I even love this location in BROOKLYN even more! Not touristy crowded. what made this visit even better for me than their sinful cupcakes? their 2-​for-​6 promo was still on :) imagine that to my pleasant surprise when I got 6 cupcakes and saw the cashier ringing up 2-​for-​6 I was almost got a full dozen! YUM. Go. Run don’t walk to your nearest crumbs.
If you’ve never been to CRUMBS and want to know if the hype is real? ;) only one way to find out.

4.5 stars…
I hate to admit it but the Crumbs has some of the most amazing desserts in the city (especially the cupcakes). This is a relatively new location to the Manhattan mini chain and it fits in great with the Brooklyn Heights area, it’s classy and roomy with several tables. Every time I go to crumbs I have a hard time justifying a 500+ calorie cupcake but once I come to terms with it finding a flavor is almost as much of a challenge. I recently came here in search for the cities best black and white cookie. It wasn’t a big surprise that theirs is one of the best in the city. After a lot of searching I’ve come to the conclusion that the Crumbs black and white is a very close and respectable 2^nd best. The first is a three way tie between Ess-​A-​Bagel, Junior’s, and Barney Greengrass (I suspect they might all get their cookies from the same place).

It’s Crumbs. Nothing new.
There’s a few tables to rest your feet and devour your goodies. Tried their Milkshake Cupcake, it was good.

I have yet to have a bad experience at a Crumbs in NYC. This location is really no exception. Another great trip. The hot caramel apple cider was fabulous and the gingerbread cupcake was deeeeelish.
I took away one star for the staff. I felt a bit ignored by them. And one just reeked of attitude. Not sure who sat on her cupcake but she didn’t need to take it out on the people spending $ in your shop.

Fantastic! I had heard about Crumbs before but haven’t had an opportunity to try it until my most recent trip to New York this past weekend.
I got the caramel latte cupcake and my friend got the milkshake cupcake. Let me tell you — all you need is one so choose wisely. I couldn’t even eat the whole thing. It was really really good! I tried the milkshake cupcake and that was equally as delicious.
For mine, there was caramel on top and the cake was chocolaty and had a latte cream center. It was perfect — it’s how I imagined a caramel latte cupcake to be! The cupcake was also moist — an important quality when selling cupcakes. Most places just focus on the frosting OR the cake, and I think it’s important that both are good. Don’t just focus on one to compensate for the lack of the other.
There were so many other flavors I wanted to try but was happy with my choice. This will be motivation for me to keep on coming to New York! Oh and the fact that one of my best friends lives there :)

*2.5 stars*
Cupcake was completely underwhelming, but coffee was pretty good and the linzer cookie I tried was perfect. Considering their specialty is the cupcake, I can’t give more than the 2.5 stars…

Crumbs is a chain cupcakery so I figured upon walking in that it would be fairly done up with logos and random amenities. That was my first mistake. The place looked fairly barren and non-​descript with one large display case staring back at me. Really, it looked like a place Dexter might take someone after hours for some World payback.
Cupcakes used to be a small treat for kids birthday parties. Not anymore and definitely not at Crumbs. These $ 3.75 mammoth, frosting-​laden behemoths are open about their effect on your body by displaying their caloric value right out there. Carrot cupcake — 600 calories. The cupcakes just look like they make you fat while also telling you that right to your face. They are not done with care, they are mass-​produced and especially glittery for Valentine’s Day right now.
In the end, the place looks like it opened yesterday and it didn’t. The Squiggle cupcake is tasty, but the others I have tried are overly buttery and so, so generic. The coconut cupcake seemed like it was frozen before. If you need a sugar fix, you can cure your woes here. You will pay for a large generic cupcake that is the equivalent of a Big Mac.

Hurray!
Crumbs is finally opened in Downtown Brooklyn.
Now I can get fat on both side of the East River.
Brooklyn Crumbs cupcakes are the same as the one I visit down on Beaver St.
They are only two blocks from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.
Now I can enjoy the view and enjoy a tasty cupcake too.
(Psst– ask them for a birthday cupcake and surprise your GF when you go for those romantic walks on the promenade or Bklyn Bridge Park)
Their official sign is still coming…

Not sure how people have already reviewed this place because it just opened today!
Living near Montague and having to walk by the sign saying «Coming Soon» day after day is truly taunting but now walking by will still be taunting as I will always want a cupcake, but at least I can now be mocked by the baked goods themselves through the window.
This Crumbs is very bright and spacious allowing for plenty of room to sit and relax while enjoying your cupcake. The display case is huge and as long as they keep it stocked I can imagine that this will be a hit with people hanging around the Brooklyn area.
They were offering free mini cupcakes and coffee which is always a plus and word on the street is that this Saturday they will be giving out a thousand free cupcakes! You can bet I’ll be there, I’ve waited long enough!
