The bread and baked good are A+. People were coming in and out waiting for things to come out of the oven. Asking for the time what they wanted would be ready. It is very impressive and worth the wait. They are only open 3 days a week. I will be going back. read more

Crust Bakehouse is fantastic!! I love all the sourdough bread, scones and pecan financier's. Go check them out. You won't be disappointed!

My oh my! Crust is soooo scrumptious! I had no idea they existed but we were at Azealia getting lattes around the corner and I happened to ask a gal there if she would recommend some nearby spots to pick up pastries. Crust was one of the places she named. I am so thankful for the recommendation. We drove right over and everything was fresh and delish! Our items were still warm even. We ordered 5 different things (several kolaches, a Nutella croissant and pecan tart), all of them equally incredible in their own ways. Service was great. Highly, highly recommend if you're looking for fresh made yummies. Be sure to check their hours as I noticed they wouldn't be open the next day when I'd hoped to return for round two :) read more

I first encountered Crust at the Columbia Wine & Food Fest this past spring. The danish I got from them there was amazing. When I discovered their location was near one of my regular running routes, I knew this was kismet, and other than when they were doing some construction, I've been a supporter since. My go to is their scones. They're so light, and so tasty. Their kolaches, the first I've seen in SC since moving from Brooklyn, are good too. I like that they switch off the flavors of all these, depending on the day you visit. I did try one their specialty breads - the cranberry walnut sourdough - and that was fantastic too (try it with some fig jam and tea -- so good). If I wasnt trying to cut down on some carbs I would try more of them more often, LOL My one negative is their coffee. It's not that good, at least when I've had it. They also didn't have any non-diary milks on hand, which is strange since Rosewood Market is walking distance from there (Publix too). But that won't stop me from going back, and it shouldn't deter you either. read more

I have been wanting to try Crust's Bagel Bombs for a while. Luckily, a friend of mine was able to grab one for me and porch drop it. It was the cheese filled one. I expected it to be much smaller, so that was the first great surprise. The second great surprise was the perfectly chewy exterior of the bagel, just the way it is supposed to be. The interior was a good softness and moist. But, WOW, the cheese filling!!! Not overpowering so I could still enjoy the flavor of the bagel but enough flavor and texture. I'll send someone to get me another one next Tuesday! I gave 4 stars because I could not find a phone number on any of Crust's social media sites. I wanted to call in to order and pay over the phone so my friend just had to pick up. But I can't find a number! read more

First off, what a guy! Super kind and generous. Everything I looked at I bought because it looked so good! My fiancée and I just got engaged and are from out of town and I wish we could take this place with! read more

We came here all the way from Puerto Rico, pastries were fantastic the service even better. I will come back . Very friendly and awesome quality. read more

Delectable -- if any place is deserving of that word, it is this petite bakery! I have to remind myself to take pictures of the goods before I devour them Cookie Monster-style, so my fellow Yelpers can see what they should have had for breakfast this morning. I make a point to try something new each time I visit. I've been here quite a few times now and I have NEVER been disappointed. Everything is so flavorful and has the perfect consistency... texture? Whatever it is, it's perfect. In addition to my one new item, I always try to get the chocolate cork whenever they have them! Yummm! Definitely my favorite thing... so far. I haven't tried their coffee yet (been on a tea kick lately), but I've heard only positive things. But even if the coffee was garbage, l would still give this place 5 stars for the baked goods alone! Yes, they are that tasty! They conjure feelings of a purpose and rightness with the world that leaves you with that good mood afterglow. It's simple really...you want to have a good day? Then start your morning here! read more

0 for 4--I check their hours on Facebook and go over there, and they are always closed. Since the change of owners, their scones are dreadful and they no longer make specialty cakes. I would have thought that at least they would be conscientious and keep regular hours. read more

Y'all... Sausage and pepper jack scone? You had me at hello. This was my first trip there. I should have taken a little bite of the scone before I left because I seriously would have bought all the ones they had left. (Sorry, Cola Town peeps!) The store is tiny and smells like heaven. Check out the chalkboard for the breads of the day and I'd suggest getting there early. They apparently sell out of items because it's all that yum. If anything is left over then they mark it down the next day. I scored a day old loaf of ciabatta for only $2 and it was still super delish. They have sweet items as well and even some little doggie biscuits! How cute is that? Expect lots of Yelp App check ins from me for Crust and expect no sausage and pepper jack scones if you get there after me. ;-) read more

Crust Bakehouse - Yums all over the place! - Bakeries Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

Great bakery items and bread. Only open Tues-Sat and they run out of items such as scones pretty fast. Would give it 5 stars if it wasn't so difficult to buy the items I want. Scones run $2.49, Bread around $4-$6. They also have coffee and local pasta for sale. If you have a dog/dogs they sometimes have dog treats available. read more

Crust Bakehouse - Storefront - Bakeries Near Me - Columbia, South Carolina

I never take time to write reviews until today. I just finished the best scone--bacon and cheese--and a pecan financier. Y'all, I swear! I can hardly wait to go get more. I have a couple more things to eat, but had to stop and share what I have eaten so far! Absolutely delicious! Absolutely perfect! and to top it off is the best customer service from Shawn and Zach! Get there today--fast, fast, fast! read more

This was my first visit to Crust. Yelp says they're open till 530, the sign on the door says 330, the owner says that they often stay later than 330 when they're prepping for the next day. Long story short, lucky me! I got a wonderful scone. One of the best selling items, and I'm excited to go back and purchase some bread later this week. The place was clean and the owner was very friendly. 5 stars read more

Best bakery in Columbia. I personally love their scones which can change daily and olive levain. Other dessert treats are available as well as coffee. Get there early because they sell out quick! read more

You can't spell Crust Bakehouse without 'bae'. Seriously, a gem in Columbia. My son and I used to have crust at least once a week when we lived on Rosewood, and even now that we're in the Vista, I have it at least weekly at staff meetings. There is an amazing variety of super fresh baked goods daily, fresh coffee, and even day-old loaves for a steal. The only complaint that I would have is that they often have breaks of which I'm unaware, and then I get to the door, drooling and mouth-breathing, and am left in the dust Still not worth losing a star. If you haven't been, come soon. Little birdie told me they are for sale. Hope things don't change too much. Also, go today! Fridays are for financiers! read more

Try and make it here during the week, make sure you make it early. There is always something new and intriguing being baked.

Hidden gem! Delicious baked goods and excellent service. Absolutely recommend the cheddar scone and biscuits for a savory treat.

Best of Columbia. Local neighborhood bakery, source of fresh bread and other baked goods. Favorite so far, pane francese in breads and ginger-pecan scone in goods. Check them on facebook. UPDATE: Date-almond scones are on the rotation, order them via Facebook or Twitter by the dozen. So popular, you should do as I do, and check their offerings on Facebook then reserve a loaf (or 3!!!) in advance. read more

Is there a sixth star?! I have lived in Rosewood for a while, but my wife and I just got around to buying some pastries from Crust a few months ago and we've been back MANY times. Yes, the hours can be irregular and they can sell out, but that's part of the charm of a small family operation. Where to start....best scone I have ever eaten in my life. EVERY time. It's so rare to find a scone that is not crumbly or floury, but these guys hit it right every time--moist but not too wet, flavorful.....and the combinations are always creative and delicious. The same is true of their biscuits and sweet treats--Cinnamon Puff, Cherry and Cheese Biscuit, and the Pecan Financier are specially good. Also, their breads are equally tasty and creative. I feel like I'm incoherent here because the place is SO GOOD. No offense to Rise and Silver Spoon, but if I had to have one more baked treat in Columbia before leaving, I'd come here every time. read more

I adore this place. Having it steps from my home is one of the true perks of life. Their focaccia is incredible. The gibassier are a favorite that you won't find pretty much anywhere else around these parts. They really know their away around dark chocolate and the chocolate and cherry scones are the best I've ever had. They brew excellent, strong coffee. They work in a bakery in a climate that's a bajillion degrees, WITHOUT the oven heat factored in, four or five months of the year. Grateful for this place, the wonderful employees, and amazing recipes. read more

High quality, fresh ingredients, and the baked goods are moist and tasty! Excellent, friendly service and they are very FaceBook friendly. Definitely worth the trip! read more

Everything I've had here has been great. Because it is so popular, they often sell out. I keep going late in the afternoon when things are picked over. However, this is obviously a good problem for a bakery to have! read more

Columbia needed a fine bakery like Crust. Delicious breads, scones and alternating muffins, cookies, biscuits and other treats. They do run out of the scones quickly do best to stop by early. read more

Crust is the best bakery in Columbia, hands down. From the daily breads to the scones and the sweet stuff, they knock it out of the park. Try the oatmeal cream pies and die and go to heaven. They sell excellent coffee too from Coffee By Design. Delicious stuff. read more

I have driven by this place for months and decided to give it a try. Seriously so many choices. The "Lisa" is amazing! Tastes bright and sweet, creamy and perfect. The staff are friendly and funny. I only had an issue when I tried to make some last minute changes, the communication got lost and I had to continue to call back a few times. read more
