Hand Baked With Love

Geena McGuinness

Cookies and cream, caramel apple, cotton candy, peanut butter cup, toasted coconut, cappuccino, raspberry swirl, cookie dough, brownie, s’mores, devil’s food cake, and milkshake…..did that get your attention? Nope, we’re not talking about ice cream! These are only some of the many cupcake flavors that the newly opened bakeshop, Crumbs, has to offer.

Located at 5 Glen Cove Road, Greenvale, across the street from Dunkin’ Donuts, it’s the perfect place for a treat after a hard day of classes. Crumbs just opened on Friday, September 23rd and business already seems to be booming! When you walk in, it’s almost like walking into a small-town bakery in Italy. The walls match perfectly with their to-die-for red velvet cupcakes. With this homey environment, a giant quote spreads across the wall saying, “made by hand, baked with love.” Before you get too excited over cupcakes, they’re not the only things this bakeshop offers. The assortment ranges from various baked goods like birthday cakes, boxed mini cupcakes, Hamantashen pastries, every type of cookie imaginable, muffins, scones, mini bobkas, and a large selection of iced and hot coffees, lattes, teas, and homemade lemonade.

Crumbs also offers a large number of promotions. Attributable to their grand opening, for the next week a free cup of coffee is offered to you with your purchase. This past Saturday they also had a promotion starting at seven in the morning, during which they gave away a free cupcake to the first 1,000 customers. They also provide you with a “cupcake of the week” This past week, it was a mudslide cupcake. Yum! However, should you be concerned at all with how much you indulge, they also have the calorie count underneath each and every cupcake. But everything in moderation is okay! With each cupcake ranging from $2.50-$4.00, don’t be afraid to come on down and treat yourself to something sweet. After all, one of Crumbs’ slogans is “You can taste the happiness.” For more information on Crumbs, you can contact them at info@crumbs.com
