French toast and S'mores cheesecake
Rachael M.

We placed a big order for desserts for a catered event and everything was delicious. We got an assortment of brookies (like a chocolate chip bar), brownies, and peanut butter blondies; an assortment of cookies; and two specialty cheesecakes (s'mores cheesecake: marshmallow base w/ ganache drizzle +toasted marshmallow + graham crumb; and, french toast cheesecake: maple/spiced base w/ whip cream + maple syrup drizzle + dash of spice). Everything was so flavorful, sweet but not overly sweet, and had an excellent texture. The cheesecakes were both dense and creamy; I highly recommend both these incredible flavors! Crust answered all of our questions in advance (via email) and ordering was extremely smooth. We would love to have them cater our desserts again!

Various pastries

I have enjoyed all my items from here. The croissant sandwich was close enough to the real thing, the ice cream was flavorful, the pastries were nicely decorated and didn't feel like substitutes. I just wish they had a description of the sandwiches and I didn't have to ask because I probably would have gotten the sausage biscuit too. I heard other vegans rave about this place and I wanted to try. Finally did and it was a nice surprise even though I am not vegan nor vegetarian. Staff here is friendly.

I've been here a handful of times since my original review and have had consistently excellent experiences. A few things to highlight: the oatmeal raisin cookie is a 10/10. The blueberry muffin is on the denser side but delicious and will definitely order again. The pumpkin spice scone was just ok, not as good as their other scones. The tiramisu parfait was good but not the best vegan tiramisu I've had. The croissant breakfast sandwich was well-loved. They used to have incredible hot chocolate but did not have it at our most recent visit.

I am far from Vegan. I'm also blessed with no issues around Gluten, am not lactose intolerant, nor do I have any dietary issues. For those reasons, I never felt it urgent to check out Crust Vegan Bakery. I'd recommend you avoid this mistake and give them a go ASAP. I've had a handful of their cookies and cookie sandwiches. OMG! Every bite is amazing. I cannot tell it doesn't have any of the things I would regularly expect to make it tasty. While I wouldn't flag any dessert as healthy, I believe they are healthier than alternatives as well. Enjoy!

Poptart

I was really disappointed with the flavors and the service! Staff was pretty rude and didn't seem like they really knew how to talk with the public. The cookies I bought, and a chocolate poptart was dry and very faint in flavor. The pop tart icing popped off the second I took a bite. The only dessert I was really pleased with was a blueberry (I think) cheesecake that had lavender sprinkled on top. The edge crust of the cheesecake contained the cheesecake filling, which was pleasantly surprising. The flavor was faint on this dessert as well, but had a good ratio of filling, crust, and topping. The absolute worst part is this business still follows COVID protocols. That is FINE. Until you get to the end and they present you the tablet with the tip section and go "what buttons do you want me to press??" Makes for a very uncomfortable situation for your patrons. Just let them press it themselves!!

Cheesecake
Sophia M.

So glad I got to visit Crust for the first time-- I've followed their Instagram for a long time, and everything looked just as delicious in person! The shop is very cute. In addition to the baked/refrigerated goods they have chocolate, candy, teas, and various gifts. My friends and I tried the apple pie sundae, wild berry poptart, and vanilla cheesecake. The worker was helpful in guiding our decisions-- there were so many options to choose from! Aside from the cheesecake being on the plain side, everything was fantastic. Next time I'm in Manayunk I'm excited to come back and try more :)

Sundae
Isabelle M.

If I could give this bakery more than 5 stars, I would! Amazing service and ambiance! The food? Unbelievable! Everything I ate -- the sundae, cookies and cream cake, and slice of cheesecake were out-of-this-world delicious! The staff was lovely and so helpful! Can't recommend this place enough!

As someone who is lactose intolerant and has almond nut allergy its not always easy for me to find desserts and treats that taste like they're non vegan counterparts.. but Crust nails it every single time. From there cookie sandwiches with incredible frosting in between, or there pop tarts, or cakes, or there very savory bagel bombs, you absolutely cannot go wrong. And as of a few weeks ago they now have vegan soft serve! Oh, and they have waffle cones (and cake cones). It doesn't taste exactly like Dairy Ice cream, but it is so so close. I go at least once a week for cookies, but will certainly be going more with the promise of ice cream too!

Vanilla cake
Kimorah B.

Got surprised with a vanilla cake and loved it! The icing is a little bit on the sweet side but otherwise has a great flavor, is not super crumbly or dense. The cheesecake was great as well, very fresh and light flavor.

Pastries
Tiffany B.

They have a ton of variety...from cookies, to cakes and even ice cream. They change their flavor options often so there is always something new to look forward to. The staff is always nice as well.

I'm here but y'all not lol, thgt I was gonna try some vegan treats on my holiday off but I guess you all are off too! I'll be back I know it's gonna be good!

Strawberry sammie, berry poptart and lemon cake slice
Samira A.

My friend and I both enjoyed the baked goods at Crust Vegan Bakery. I tried the strawberry sammie and berry pop tart. The Sammie was tasty, I really love the texture of the sugar cookies, they were crisp and slightly soft in between the strawberry filling. The pop tart was good, the filling was flavorful and I enjoyed the presentation. It was topped with pink frosting and dried rose petals on top. My friend said the slice of lemon cake was good but I can't confirm because I didn't have a bite. The 3 baked goods totaled $18.63.

6" Gluten-Free Chocolate Mocha Cake
Magdalena Ines T.

My friends and I were planning a surprise for another dear friend of ours and wanted to be inclusive in our food options. Enter Crust Vegan Bakery. We were hard-pressed to find bakeshops with gluten-free cakes downtown! Enter Crust Vegan Bakery. I placed an order online for the 6-inch gluten free chocolate mocha cake. The person who helped me showed me the cake, I had no qualms except for the fact that I had to wait to eat it. This cake survived a 3.5 hr drive to the Poconos. Partly because I forsook all my belongings to protect this cake. But mostly due to 4th of July traffic. My friends and I loved the cake! We rationed leftover cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Good Lord, we were fighting over the last piece. Needless to say, I'll be ordering more cake from this shop! You folks are doing great, thank you for making the delicious cake!!

My attempt to write on a cake lol

Everything was delicious but I especially liked the savory poptarts which is funny because I have the biggest sweet tooth.

$ well spent! Had a dozen hot, fresh, wonderful cookies delivered to our hotel room on a Monday…read morenight after midnight when nearly every other option, including the hotel bar & restaurant, was closed. A few additional cookies tossed in our delivery for free, made it feel like a better value since we had some leftover to enjoy with morning coffee. Anticipated a long wait given the time & day, but a friendly face handed them to us in less time than Domino's. The Deluxe cookies were a treat w/ the peanut butter varieties a fav, but ALL the cookies, including the ones I didn't pick, were delicious. A little annoying the upcharges for deluxe varieties when I thought that was the point of picking an option that includes them, but the additional free cookies helped soften that. A must for any overnight stay in Philly!

Came in for the free taste testing and it was actually a blast. The flavors were fun, a little…read moreunexpected, and honestly way better than I thought they'd be for a big chain. After we finished, they handed us a whole box of cookies just for hanging out and giving feedback. That was a solid surprise and super generous. I swing by Insomnia Cookies on random days too because sometimes you just need a warm cookie to reset your mood. They always come out soft, gooey, and fresh from the oven. The store itself is clean and kind of cool to look at. There's a whole wall covered in giant industrial-style on and off switches. I still wish I could have pulled one just to see what would happen. Staff was chill and genuinely helpful. They were patient while we tried to figure out which cookie was which during the ranking, and they kept the energy light and fun. Same when they handed out the free boxes. Whoever runs the HQ location clearly knows how to make the experience feel special.

I've been here a couple times. Loved it. Plenty of options and everything was well made…read more Everything I ate had a hint of decadence without being gross or unhealthy. This is my new go-to for chicken & waffles. Concise, excellent beer selection. And interesting, well-made cocktails. The banana cream pie is one of my favorite desserts anywhere. Staff is friendly. Prices were very reasonable.

My friends, get your butt here if you like that retro cool vibe of mid century modern bars and…read morelounges. Also get here early because we went on a TUESDAY and man it filled up fast! We ordered the crispy cheese curds (Wisconsin cheddar, smoked guajillo salsa, and charred scallion ranch). These were a unique take on the classic and I was here for it, definitely try these! I then had the wedge salad (blue cheese, nueske's bacon, cherry tomatoes, radish, pepitas, crispy onions, and thai basil goddess). There were no tomatoes on ours, and so we were given sliced avocado instead. This was an interesting attempt but not my favorite take on this dish, I probably would not get this again. However, the shrimp po boy buns came through to round off this meal! (crispy shrimp, smoky aioli, house made choppy chop, dill on two buttered potato rolls.) These were fantastic and absolutely fire. NOTE they are tiny, almost appetizer sized, which didnt bother me because after the salad and cheese curds I was feeling full already but I would go back and get two orders just for myself they were that good. All in all a great place, I recommend!
