I don't understand why there is not a line down the block for the offerings here. I often drive up to Fournée Bakery for a good scone. Why? When Crumble and Whisk is right in my neighborhood. Incredible selection of goodies if you are in the mood for a treat. I got a slice of quiche and a blueberry biscuit, both excellent. read more

We ordered a dozen cinnamon rolls for Easter delivered. First time trying them. The ordering and delivery process went smoothly and on time. Yay! We didn't love the rolls though. Light on cinnamon flavor, somewhat underdone, and the cream cheese frosting had a distinctive sourness that surprised us. We will be continuing our search for cinnamon rolls in the near East Bay that are close to Cinnabon style--hard to find! read more

They have several cheesecake options, we liked the strawberry fields and lemon curd one. Nice round shape for by the slice. Would come back try their other flavors as well. Easy to share and the smaller pieces are perfect for sampling. read more

I cant believe I'm just finding out about this place. When I say everything I've tried is so good. I mean everything. My favorite breakfast item is the avacado toast with the egg white. The chicken sausage is fire. The jam he makes is the best I ever had. Ive had the strawberry lemon cheesecake 10/10. His cookies are good as well. Great customer service. I definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Went here for brunch this morning and loved it. Everything is obviously made from scratch and was delicious. On top of that, the staff were wonderful. Being super patient and helpful as we asked a ton of questions. Then, my mom accidentally dropped the second half of her breakfast sandwich (highly recommend it!) and they insisted on making her a replacement for free. Talk about above and beyond. So five stars for the food and five stars for the service! read more

I love love this place. The owner is amazing, the food is always amazing. The menu is constantly changing with the seasons. I have to stop by anytime I am in the neighborhood. If you haven't been, run dont walk and get you some delicious treats to eat and share, dont be greedy, share the love. read more

The best cheesecakes I've had in Oakland. Got the strawberry and lemon as two "mini" birthday cakes. Looked elegant with some gold candles, and my partner absolutely loved the presentation and taste. I honestly can't think of a better cheesecake I've had in Oakland. It was decadent but not too rich; you still want more and more. The balance of flavors was perfect. The cookie layer was divine and maintained their crisp even a day later. The candied fruit -- strawberry and lemon peel -- were executed masterfully in terms of flavor balance and texture. These details represent how much care they put in. I highly recommend the strawberry and lemon cheesecakes. I wanted to get the banana pudding but it was sold out for the day. I bet it's phenomenal and can't wait to try it out. They also offer large, full-sized cheesecakes, breakfast sandwiches, and more. I imagine it's a delicious breakfast/brunch spot. Theres a bit of seating inside. The gentleman who helped me was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Free street parking was a breeze to find on a Saturday afternoon. You can really feel the passion and care in every ounce of each cheesecake. Treat you and your loved ones and enjoy the amazing cheesecakes here. (Just leave some banana pudding for me.) read more

I decided to try the Thai tea and sticky rice cheesecake when I saw Crumble & Whisk at the Prescott Night Market. The cheesecake is quite rich and dense and cheesy. I kind of taste the Thai tea but wish the Thai tea flavor was stronger overall. The sticky rice adds fun texture though, I thought it was a great addition. At the time, they offered numerous other flavors like five spice red bean, ube ginger and vanilla, coconut pineapple lemongrass, green tea mango. Would definitely want to try some of the other ones sometime. I recommend checking out Crumble & Whisk if you're looking for options other than the most common traditional western cheesecake flavors, I've seen them selling at other outdoor food events in Oakland as well. read more

I was looking for a good cheesecake in the East Bay for my boyfriend's birthday cake, since he is a big fan of cheesecake. I relized this place had actulally been on my want to go list for a whle with a note saying "NY Cheesecake", so I decided to give it a try! I ordreded their "I Love New York Cheesecake" online three days in advance and picked it up in the store. The whole process was smooth and easy. Once I placed the order, I got a comfirmation email right away. The cheesecake is smooth, with dense cream cheese filling with a hint of fresh lemon and Madagascar vanilla on a buttery shortbread crust. The cake tasted amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try their other flavors in the future! read more

Oh my gosh! We just had the most delicious turkey, apple and cheddar sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll. It was served with a salad and their home made pickles which were tart and sweet. It was super delicious lunch with lots of smoked turkey. The combination of cheddar, apple and turkey were fresh and scrumptpus. The service was gracious and the ambiance was cool Oakland. We are now regulars. Yummy!!! , read more

Ive been wanting to try this place for so long but was disappointed with my first visit. Came today on a Sunday and it was clear they were understaffed with a lot of customers, seemed like it was just the owner working plus one person in the back making all the orders. I ordered the breakfast sandwich with bacon and also the cinnamon rolls. When the breakfast sandwiches were ready I heard him call out one with bacon and one with ham even though me and the other customer both ordered bacon. We both said we ordered bacon and he seemed confused. He gave one box to the customer who had ordered before me and then he handed me a box. I specifically asked him if this was bacon because that is what I ordered and he responded "yes", turns out it was not bacon like I had suspected and it was ham, which I do not like. It was already too late cause I was already on my way home. He should have asked the worker in the back to remake my sandwich or at least swap out the ham with bacon but he did not. Disappointed, it was already a longer wait (which I don't mind waiting) but I didn't get what I asked and paid for. In total I spent $35 (including tip) for an order of two small cinnamon rolls and a breakfast sandwich with the wrong meat. Disappointed, I won't be coming back. Wish I had a better experience here because I saw so many good reviews. read more

Came here for the first time! Greeted with a warm smile and very friendly guy. At first we were only looking to have some coffee but I am glad I had the pastry last second. The pistachio croissant was so nice and crispy on top, and it was very generous with the filling in the middle. It was nicely sweetened, but not too sweet! So nice to share with a person or two! I ordered the cold brew and the Vietnamese coffee. My only issue would probably be the coffees and if it wasn't for the pastry, I would probably give this place a 2 or 3 star. The coffee cans I saw on shelf are definitely the beans/grinds used in Vietnamese coffee, but the milk used was not right. Vietnamese coffee is more thick -- with condensed milk and very concentrated espresso/coffee. This one was not strong and pretty watered dow. The one I got today resembled nothing of viet coffee, and I was a little let down. read more

I picked up a few pastries here on a Wednesday morning. It wasn't too busy and it's a cute little bakery. This is what I tried with my family and we all gave the items very similar ratings. All in all great place, I'll be back to try more items. Coffee cake muffins 10/10 - this was SO delicious. The muffins was the dense and moist. You could taste spices like cardamom which I love. It was just so good, perfect to pair with coffee or tea. Butter peace croissant 10/10 - this was buttery and flaky and tasted like an elevated cinnamon roll. I Quiche 6/10 - I had the become gruyère cheese. The flavor was really good so I kept eating it but it was SO salty it was very difficult to eat. If the salt was adjusted this would be delicious. Cherry scone 5/10 - the didn't have the texture of a scone to me, it was more cake on the inside than crumbly + I didn't really like the flavor. read more

The food here is excellent. Best quiche of my life. Will come back and try everything else.

Very cute and quaint place on the Main Street in oakland. Heard about this place off of tik tok and it didn't disappoint! Our favorite menu item was the cinnamon rolls, which came out warm and fresh with a super gooey center, sauce and frosting. Very heavy on the orange flavor if you enjoy that. Along with that we got the quiche Lorraine and veggie quiche both yummy when warmed up that was accompanied by a salad. The veggie quiche reminded me of a ratatouille x ravioli dish. Sat inside to eat and the owner was very welcoming and descriptive with all his items! Very kind and helpful. Only thoughts were I wish there was a way to read/view the baked goods/pastries for sale, and that the cinnamon roll was featured for more people to know about. As someone walking in with no prior knowledge they would be greatly missing out! read more

Small bakery with both sweet and savory items. Counter service, but there are a few bar stools and little nooks to sit in if you like. I came on an early Saturday afternoon and there was a little bit of a way because they were pretty busy. But staff were friendly and accommodating. The turkey pesto croissant was my favorite item. I'd come back just for that! read more

I ordered the carrot cake cream cheese swirl seasonal bread. It was love at first bite! The bread was so moist it was like a piece of cake. The cream cheese swirls were folded throughout the slice of bread, adding a layer of texture and creaminess to the soft bread. It was absolutely delicious, I wish it was a permanent item, but at the same time im excited to see the next seasonal bread item! read more

Last week I brought home birthday mini cheesecakes to find the birthday cheese cake was not on the new birthday diet. So I froze them. Thawed the chocolate one and had some today. These are Bezos level rich! Creamy and delicious Worth the price for sure read more

Food and baked goods have been great. However, I have found the hours to be hit or miss as sometimes its not open when it says it is. I recommend calling ahead to avoid unnecessary trips. The chef is gracious and knowledgeable, the vibe is chill. Street parking is easy with a flat entryway ideal for ADA access. read more

We ordered the BLT, Breakfast Sandwich, Vietnamese Coffee, Brownie, Sweet potato tart, and Beet and berry cheesecake. Everything was delicious. I will be telling all my friends to come here. My boyfriend had the BLT it was one of the best sandwiches we have had in a really long time. Great amount of bacon. The portions are more than enough food. I can rave enough about how good the food is. Looking forward to trying some other things on the menu. The owner was so personable and you can tell how much work he has put into curating the menu and how much he loves layering flavors. I enjoyed seeing how excited he is to explain the foods on the menu. read more

I just finished lunch and wanted to get dessert. I recall a YouTube video showcasing great places to eat in Oakland and Crumble & Whisk was one that stood out for me. They had sandwiches and quiche but I was here for dessert. I wanted to bring a few things home on a long drive. I got the sweet potato tart, chocolate chip cookie, brownie, spiced tea loaf (looked like banana bread) and a muffin. My absolute favorite was the sweet potato tart :) If it weren't for the long drive, I would have gotten the cheesecake and banana pudding. Its just one person working the front, I believe its the owner, and its a little wait, but well worth it! I'll definitely be back :) read more

I purchased A strawberry cheesecake from there booth at the Joy to be Black festival. The cheesecake was not properly prepared. They sold frozen desserts. The strawberry was sour. All bakers no freezing strawberries change the texture of the fruit. I didn't realize the strawberry was frozen. Not worth $13.00 read more

Mushroom tart's crust was still doughy on the inside which was a bummer. The quiche was way too salty and the texture was much harder than I'm used to with quiche. The turkey pesto croissant was just ok. I think the dough for croissant and tarts was just way too doughy and not what I'm used to. There were no decadent flakes and more doughy texture. read more

WOW! We ordered from Crumble & Whisk to celebrate my father's birthday. The lemon cheesecake was the star of the show. It was bright, citrusy, and fresh with just enough sweetness to round it out. The texture was amazing, almost cloud-like and rich enough to feel indulgent. We had a small mix-up with our order, but they handled it so generously, going above and beyond by adding extra cakes (thanks so much!). Such a thoughtful touch that made the celebration feel even more special! Truly one of the best gourmet cheesecakes I've had and the kindest owner. I can't wait to try their other cakes and offerings!! read more

What a gem! My son and I originally were going to go to a well known bagel place in Berkeley but they close rather early for a Sat. So I scrambled to look for another place to have "brunch." I saw a Tik Tok on this place and the food is soo good. I had the quiche Lorraine and my son had the herb chicken sandwich. We also got their special cinnamon roll and brownie. It did not disappoint. I've never really hung out in the Laurel district of Oakland, but it's soo cute! Please support this small business! You will not regret it! read more

This place is HELLA good! Bomb breakfast sandwiches and the best pastries in Oakland (yep that's right) to go with your morning coffee. The owner also seems very cool and is often there on site. Check this place out my friends- you'll be glad you did, I assure you! read more

This is an absolute gem in the neighborhood that provides high quality and consistently impressive assortments of classic pastries. Charles has an eye for balance in flavor and execution that deserves the highest praises! This balance is showcased in his award winning cheesecakes, but everything Charles and staff creates is so carefully crafted that you'll find yourself trying the entire menu. Arguably the most focal in presentation are the cheesecakes. You wanna talk about quality? The creations below were nods to Asian-inspired flavorings and were offered at the Chinatown Night Market. Drop any of their cheesecakes at a gathering and be ready to sweep up mounds of jaws that DROP on the floor. Additionally, the savory pastries, salads and sandwiches are creatively curated out of seasonal harvests--and are crafted to the same standards! The journey that Charles has embarked on since 2013 was NOT by mistake--he is doing what he loves whole-heartedly and his dedication to the craft of culinary arts deserves several tries (because you'll be back again and again--seriously!) His offerings to this world are truly Oakland-made world treasures! If you want your palette, eyes and spirits to be satiated, dazzled and impressed all at once, get to bakery immediately!

Charles, thank you for responding. While I understand the quality you referred to, I still think you should take a re-look at your prices. In Laurel Village in Oakland most people would not be able to enjoy your hard work especially in the economy we are faced with. Again, thank you for your response. read more
