Crumbville isn't just a bakery--it's a warm hug wrapped in cookie dough and sunshine. I found this gem when I started riding with Let's Do This Houston, and now it's a must-stop for me whenever I'm in 3rd Ward. Black-owned and powered by pure joy, Crumbville is run by the friendliest cookie lady on Earth--Ms. Ella. She's got this beautiful way of making every single customer feel special, and it's not just talk. She literally writes your name on your cookie bag in the cutest Sharpie script, every time, and hand-stamps each bag with the Crumbville logo. It's a little detail, but it makes you feel seen. The space itself is just as sweet as the treats--cozy, bright, and full of personality. That big picture window lets the sun pour in, giving everything that soft, natural glow. It really feels like you're stepping into someone's home, not just a storefront. And if you're into old-school vinyl or looking for some fun Crumbhead merch, she's got a little section for that too. It's very much a vibe. Every cookie and treat is homemade and baked fresh--real fresh. You can taste the love and intention in every bite. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, Crumbville always makes you feel like family. Final Word: Come for the cookies, stay for the love. Ms. Ella makes Crumbville more than a bakery--it's a community staple full of flavor, light, and genuine heart.
Best cupcakes in town, so sweet and moist. The whole vibe of this bakery is amazing. The owner was so welcoming and even customized my bag with my name handwritten as a "hug" from her. My first visit there and definitely will not be my last.
Do yourself a favor, run ... don't walk to Crumbville! You won't regret it and if you run you will actually earn the dessert! :) I have wanted to try Crumbville for a while now, but never seem to find myself in that area. Yesterday, I had a hankering for a cupcake, and it was rainy so I had zero interest in going anywhere. I found that Crumbville is on the Favor app, so I figured, why not? I ordered the Blueberries & Cream Cheesecake cupcake. Wow, it was liking having a blueberry muffin, with loads of blueberries, and icing on top. It was so good!! I also ordered the Strawberries & Cream Cheesecake, Vanilla Peachy-cob-a-licious and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Snicker Crunch. All of the cupcakes are just so fresh and tasty. They are literally the best I have ever had. I fully plan on stopping in sometime to check out the location. I hear the service is amazing, and I cannot wait to find out!
There's nothing, nothing, that will bring you out of a depression faster than a delicious cupcake from Crumbville. I had, by chance, found this magical place, but didn't have a lot of time to explore so I knew I'd have to come back. Today presented that opportunity. Ella, the owner, is so welcoming and so knowledgeable and so passionate about her incredible desserts. I too am now passionate about them. I wanted to get a few to make me feel better, these past few days have caused me to fall into a depression, these cupcakes led me out of that with so much flavor and depth. I'm not sure I'll ever be depressed again knowing this place exists. I looked over all of the cupcakes, because that is what I came for even though she has other offerings like decadent cookies.I decided I wanted the blueberries and cream cheesecake, the banana pudding, the sweet potato butter pecan crunch and the vanilla peachy cob-a-licious. I was very surprised by my favorite. It was the blueberries and cream cheesecake! I definitely thought it was gonna be vanilla pudding, which definitely came in second place. It is so divine that I don't really have words for what you feel when you bite into it. It's an explosion of flavor, the most moist of cake, the delicious frosting, it will soothe your soul. I loved the other ones as well, but this one really is other level. I won't go into all of the flavors that I got because I have to say the other three all tied for second. They all have the same delicious frosting, the moist cake and The center of each has something in it but I wasn't quite sure what it was, but I really didn't need to know because it was amazing as well. Just know that every bite will lift you up. Just incredible. So lucky to have found this place.
It's a really small shop off of emancipation. I was actually surprised i had never seen it before bc i've driven down that way before many times. I saw it on tiktok and wanted to go try it. The owner was very sweet and went through everything i needed to know about her desserts. She even had samples of different flavors of cupcakes. She has a very good business model and i appreciate the amazing customer service. The cupcake was $7 , a bit pricy. I thought the cupcake was very moist but i wish the cream cheese frosting tasted more of cream cheese. I do love the concept of a cookie baked into a cupcake tho. i understand the price but i probably would come back to try a cookie. cause she had some red velvet cookies that looked amazing. Great vibes in here.
OMG. I love this place and I love the owner. So inviting! We talked about the products there and a whole bunch of other things. I don't have any pics of the ALL the cookies I bought and I bought a few. Lol. Because I and my family ate. If I'm honest mines more interested in trying them than taking a pic. They are SO SO SO good. They are soft just like a like them. And they are a great size. I was shocked that I only paid $30 for all of the things I got. I will make that 45 min drive to the other side of town to get more.
Why 5 stars? Because after far too long, I finally made it here, and it was worth the wait. --- --- --- I discovered Crumbville over a year ago and it just never worked out for me to stop in and visit. Despite it not being super close by where we at lunch, I made it a point that it finally had to happen. And why did I wait so long?? When we first walked in, there was a line of people waiting to pay for what they'd picked out. But, the owner, despite being busy with all of these people, still greeted us and was going over all of the different options in the store, while she was ringing up people in line. When we made it to the front of the line, she could not have possibly been a friendlier human. It's no wonder the reviews here are so amazing, because even if you don't absolutely love the goodies, you can't help but enjoy coming in here. As for what we bought: Mayniac Munch = 4.5 stars. Red velvet, chocolate chip pecan cookie dough & oreos. This was solid when we snacked on a couple bites in the car, but so amazing when we got home and heated it up a little bit. Best of Both Worlds = 4.5 stars. Fudge brownie topped with chocolate chip pecan cookie dough and cream cheese. This was my wife's choice and something I wasn't super excited about. But I took one bite and next thing I knew, I had eaten half of it! Butter ThickHER Thana Snicker = 5 stars. Moist Butter cake with our Signature ThickHER Thana Snicker cookie (rich chocolate dough filled with peanuts, chocolate, Caramel, nougats & popcorn) baked inside. This was absolutely stupid good. 5 stars doesn't do it justice. How about 15? The icing was amazing too. And the best part was that I didn't feel awful after eating it. I don't know what she puts in this stuff to not give me an immediate stomach ache full of regret afterward, like most baked goods, but it's heaven. I will not wait 14 months to make my next visit, I promise you that.
It's been a few years since I've been here, and although a new location, it's the same beautiful and welcoming energy, and a delicious product! I was so happy that my group quickly jumped on board when I through out the idea of getting a sweet treat . The cookies are fresh and have just the right amount chew to them. I got the chocolate chip and all I needed was a glass of Almond milk. We all enjoyed our experience. Also, we thought it was so personable how she wrote our names on the bags : )
Brownies, Cookies & Cupcakes oh my! They day I stopped by here it was Admin Day at work and my coworkers called me to find a place to get something sweet for our amazing admin. Searched Yelp and at the time I was picking up food from M&M Grill on Almeda so I searched yelp between where I was and downtown and thats how I came to find Crumbville. Arrival - literally drove right past it bc the sign is a little lower than I expected. Inside - Mask Required, they provide if you don't have. All pastries are individually wrapped...2 cookies in a package - all items $7 Fat soft cookies with thick chunks of chocolate or nuts. - surprised on how they aren't overly sweet. Cupcakes have cookies inside of them. So many exciting flavors to choose from. Sadly no really gift style carry out option, but they did level up the paper bags with a little artistic flair which was much appreciated.
Ella is such a hard worker and produces incredible and delicious baked goods. I can not get enough of her treats. It makes me so happy that this business also provides vegan options as I'm lactose intolerant! Customer service is phenomenal and oh so very welcoming! I love so much. Packing the goods up is the best part Such a cute little store as well. Make sure to check out their instagram page to see what goodies they have
