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

I've visited Crumble & Whisk twice now and I do love the food here! The first time we visited, we ordered two cinnamon rolls and the BLT. I tend to try the BLT at any establishment that offers them. That said, the BLT was SO good! I loved the bread it came on, and the jam elevated the experience. The cinnamon rolls are MONSTROUS! I asked how big they were and the worker measured it with their hands so I thought one wouldn't be enough, but 1 is a LOT! Totally not complaining though because they were delicious! It reheated well too after being in the fridge overnight. We came back a second time for those cinnamon rolls, which are only available on the weekends, and I also tried the strawberry cheesecake. I don't know if I would eat in the shop, but might be a cool place if you wanted a quick date or catch up session with a friend. I tried their vanilla latte but I didn't like it too much. I'll get my coffee somewhere else, but it would be cool to get my pastries and drink all in the same place. Maybe I'll try a drink again and see. I had ordered on Door Dash but apparently I wasn't supposed to do that. The person behind the counter asked why I'd order on DoorDash and I told them that I had wanted the order ready before I got there. Suffice it to say, we had to wait a little for the order to be bagged and ready to go. read more

We recently ordered a marble cheesecake for a birthday, almost all their cakes have a non gluten variation and they have little tasting cheesecakes. Now flavor, it was very tasty if you like richer texture more on the cheese side of flavor, and they are very tall, at least the one we ordered. Very easy to order online. The pickup was pretty fast too. 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

Don't want to sound like an influencer, however, Crumble & Whisk is definitely a hidden gem in Oakland. The Earl Grey Lemon Berry Loaf was bright and fragrant, while the savory scone and wild mushroom galette were flaky, rich, and satisfying. Charles was especially friendly and explained the pastries with real enthusiasm. Pair it all with the smooth seasonal pear latte or cosy cinnamon latte both were delicious. Highly recommend stopping by! 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 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

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

This place is the best. The owner is really nice and all of the deserts are fresh and tasty. I come here at least once a week.

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

Great food with incredible service. It's a cute little spot in the Laurel and you will absolutely not be sad you went. Order literally anything on the menus and it's going to blow you away. I've been a few times and each time is better than the last. I will definitely be back. read more

I often order for corporate events and the food is chefs kiss. My teams are always so happy with the food options. We can't get enough. Our go to for catered breakfast is the breakfast salad and the egg frittatas with a fruit and pastry platter. Recently ordered the shrimp po'boys and chicken and ranch sandwich with a Greek salad. The food and service is so good every single time. The owner always makes my experience pleasant and helps me curate the best order for our events. Will definitely continue to order and try new items on the menu. Run don't walk! read more

Everything is great! I love getting food from here as it's always fresh and delicious. I just ordered a quiche from him last week and it was stellar as always. I will never ever make another quiche again as long as I can get it from here. It's huge, gorgeous and delicious! Every time I've ordered from here, the process has been flawless. The cheesecakes are amazing as well as the croissants. I'm a complete and utter food snob and this satisfies my super picky taste buds and we're lucky to have it in our neighborhood. Sorry, no pics because we already ate it all. 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

It's August 9, 1:30pm I was downtown Oakland, about to go home, when I changed my direction towards Hilltop, Richmond. Checked Yelp, and it said open until 2pm. Called the number, and the machine said don't leave a message. Now I'm sitting in front, and at least four other people are disappointed too. All I wanted was a cinnamon roll and one slice of quiche. Gregory is not an option once you've had this. read more

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'd come back just for that! read more

I walked in at about 10:30 am on a Friday and asked if it was possible to make a strawberry shortcake by the evening. My brother was in town and it's a tradition for him to have strawberry shortcake in his bday. Charles said of course...and it was a hit. Great to have a local spot that can do custom orders (though I should probably try to give him more notice next time). 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

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.

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

Simply amazing! I first found this bakery on a news special. At the time, I did not frequent Oakland so I was pleasantly surprised when I found them at the SF farmer's market. Delicious cheesecake, I ordered the peach cobbler cheesecake my mouth was drooling just looking at it. I couldn't put my spoon down. Fast forward to June 2025, the business is no longer present at Farmer's markets and has a store front in Oakland. They do full catering. And the dessert bar will have your mouthwatering. The head chef offers vegan and gluten free desserts. You definitely want these desserts at your next event. 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

Ordered a slice of quiche Lorraine, seasonal croissant, and two iced coffee drinks - cold brew and Vietnamese style. We took things to go and I heated up my quiche at home. Absolutely delicious. Thank you! read more

came in for a slice of cheesecake and left having made a decision about where im getting every birthday cake from for the rest of my life. the flavors are genuinely creative, not just vanilla and strawberry, like they actually thought about it and it shows. everything tastes fresh which sounds obvious but u would be surprised how many bakeries cant pull that off consistently. space is really charming and cozy, the kind of spot where u sit down with ur dessert and just decompress for a minute. they do catering too which i filed away for future events bc the presentation on everything looks really polished. closes at 4 which is a pattern i keep running into in the bay and it always breaks my heart a little. 347 reviews at 4.7 is impressive and well deserved honestly. quiche situation in the photo also looked really good so apparently they can do savory too which i need to investigate. this place just makes u happy 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 was absolutely blown away by these pastries - some of the best I've had in the bay. The owner was the one running the show and was super sweet and welcoming. They had a bunch of pastries and I ended up going with the owner's recs which were the bourbon butter pecan croissant, cheese danish, and carrot cake loaf, and strawberry cheesecake. The cheese danish was divine and definitely my favorite. The carrot cake loaf was very spiced and incredibly moist - I loved the cream cheese swirl. The butter pecan croissant was so decadent, filled to the max, and had the perfect texture. Can't wait to come back and try everything else. You must visit this bakery!! read more
