Oddly this may be considered one of our more controversial posts (of course we’re use to controversy) but we are going to come out in favor of Crumbs. Yup, that’s right, we love Crumbs! Crumbs is the made-by-hand bakery on Broadway by 38th, known for their flavorful, moist, and addictive cupcakes. It seems most people love them or hate them, but we admit, we love ‘em! Now many people just hate them on principle, for being a chain and available outside the NYC area. But let’s not forget Crumbs started just a few years ago as a mom & pop operation on the Upper West Side of NYC. Obviously New Yorkers feel very strongly about their cupcakes, as Crumbs has over 200 reviews on Yelp with some very passionate commenters.
All in all, we have to say their cupcakes and other pastries are delectable and stand out in a city known for starting the cupcake craze. Not only that, but in the Garment Center they have really filled a much needed niche. We desperately needed a place where, you could get that necessary 4pm sugar rush. When the day is dragging on and you are bleary eyed from endless techpacking or burned out from a three hour fitting, it’s time to get out of the office and run down the block to Crumbs. You no longer have to succumb to the lure of Starbucks or settle for stale pre-made cookies at Europa; instead head over to Crumbs for a decadent fresh baked treat!
To see their full array of treats and get more info check out the Crumbs website, here.
By the way, does anyone else miss the Austin’s that use to be located there? We still walk by, think of Austin’s, and get an unrequited craving for an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese.
