It was a soggy, downpour of a Saturday. I was heading home, driving along highway 7. I remembered seeing this Crumbl store in Woodbridge, which is next door to Nations Fresh Foods. I decided to place an order and drop by.
What was special about last week was that Crumbl had a lemon cake. I have had it before. It's excellent. I needed to get one.
I parked closer to Nations and placed my order through the Crumbl app:
- Lemon cake
- 24-ounce (medium) EZ breezy
I paid. I then took my umbrella and walked over to Crumbl.
It was exceptionally busy at roughly 4;45 pm. Everyone was standing around. I frankly didn't know where I should be.
There were a couple of self-serve kiosks where you could place your order. No one was there.
There must have been at least fifteen teenagers who spoke French the entire time. They were lined up against the wall.
This store has a washroom. It was my first time being in a Crumbl store with one open to the public.
There was a young woman in front of me who kept on looking back at me and everyone else. It was weird and annoying.
I saw my name on the screen. I was thrilled that my order was being made.
I heard my name. My EZ breeze beverage was ready. The nice man handed it to me along with a straw.
It was a bit difficult to poke my straw through the lid. Some of drink came up on the lid. I slurped it like the person who doesn't want a drop wasted because this drink was $7.55 before taxes.
I will say that this drink was excellent. The EZ (I keep saying e-zed because I'm Canadian) breezy had Diet Coke, regular ice, sugar-free coconut, a lime wedge, and coconut cream. It had the perfect coconut-lime combination that I craved, along with Diet Coke. I was thrilled that it was a sugar-free drink that didn't suck.
It took maybe an extra five minutes before my lemon cake was ready. The staring-behind woman stopped staring when I got my drink, followed by my cake.
At Crumbl, staffers open the box to show you your dessert items. It was my first time seeing a staffer open up the box and accidentally squash some of the lemon cream cheese frosting on my lemon cake with his huge thumb.
It was a bit sad seeing someone destroy a part of my cake before I got to. I don't think there's a policy to fix a cake that a staffer has messed up. I didn't think about it when it happened and simply took it. It would be yummy, whether the frosting was messed up or not.
I put my lemon cake in a reusable bag to protect it from the rain and headed to my car. I then drove home, continuing to drink my EZ breezy. Delicious!
I had the lemon cake later on in the evening. It was yummy just as I had remembered it. The cake was fluffy. The lemon tartness was perfect. The cream cheese frosting was lemony and heavenly. I was thrilled that I got to enjoy this cake again.
I should try coming here after work and see whether it's busy. I had a good experience, despite having cake with a bonus thumbprint.
