Red Velvet Cupcakevelvet
Gabrielle C.

Quick and easy service! Walked up to counter and ordered a red velvet cupcake and we were in and out in less than 5 minutes. The building is so cute too! The cupcake was the right amount of sweetness for me (Asian tastebuds, iykyk) and I was craving more after! Would definitely try their other selections here as well next time I'm in the area. Super yummy and hits the sweets cravings!!

$43 for everything and it was not worth it.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the size of the macarons yesterday. At first I thought it was my imagination until I compared the ones in the case to the size of their displays. On top of being tiny, the taste was not fresh. So sad this place has fallen off.

Macarons

I honestly never noticed that there was a little bakery on the other side of Jeni's ice cream, but some friends saw it and we were killing time so we thought we would check it out I was fairly impressed by the overall interior appearance. Everything was clean, but more so I thought they had a very appealing aesthetic. The blackboard with handwritten menu items made it feel more artisanal. The garland made out of cupcake wrappers was really clever. The baked items on display were all appetizing and identical The staff was friendly and professional. I was worried that ordering a flat white would make us late to an appointment (only had 5 minutes to get to the appointment that was right around the corner), but they had it prepared almost immediately The baked goods were all tasty, and the flat white was partially good and strong (more a European or Australian flat white) Some tips: Try one of their many macarons. Again, if you enjoy flat whites this place makes a great one. This is a great spot to grab a coffee or treat and maybe take it to go as you walk around city centre Cheers!!

Not pup friendly so no longer a walkable cafe or bakery like I once thought of it as. Food and drinks are ok and decent if you're not with your animals though

Great place to stop by after 0800 to get your sweet fix in. They bring all their freshly baked goodies then. The ham and cheese croissant was warmed for me and so crunchy and flaky and the ham and cheese were lovely together. The petite key lime pie is a tasty treat with the crumbly stuff on the outside. Strawberry cupcake was good - fresh chunks of strawberries on the inside, I was just disappointed by how hard the topping was - definitely in the fridge too long and not enough time at room temp. Highly recommended if you are in thennehghborhood. 10 minute parking is available.

Such a beautiful quaint pastry shop with lots of sweet choices. The inside backdrop is neutral, with the desserts adding vibrant color throughout the shop in their cakes, cupcakes, and macarons. I like the look of the different heights of cake stands, pedestals, and the chalkboard. This made it even more charming. I ordered the salted caramel cupcake, the frosting a silky smooth. I got the rainbow cake for my niece, and we shared the slice; it was a reasonably large piece, and the frosting was equally good as the cupcake frosting. Ok, I ate her whole cake. The server went out of her to make a noncoffee drink for my seven-year-old niece so we could be twins drinking our Caffe Mocha outside under the umbrellas at the wooden tables. She really thought she was drinking coffee. The service was great, making our girl's day out the best.

Really wish I could give this place a better review... the coffee is good. The pastries over rated. But it's the service for me here... the employees here are so miserable and it's truly every-time I go here. The last few times could barely get a smile out of any of them. It's like they truly hate being here and hate their job. Which is so insane because normally baristas are so pleasant but not here. They aren't SWEET they def on the salty side so I hope They don't get Mistreated here by management or something because I really don't understand why else each and every one of them aren't on the friendly welcoming side.... They seem to hate being there which makes me not so much want to return often while in city center

It's been a minute since Sweet had a review. I'm pleasantly surprised they survived this location during the pandemic till now. I've only had their macarons and mini creme brûlée cheesecake, so I can only attest to those. The other desserts like the cupcakes, truffles, and pastries also look appealing. Mini crème brûlée cheesecake: Kind of tasted like flan. It was a bit dry on the cheesecake part. I understand it's a mini, but it still can be moist. Yup, I said the word. It's not worth $3. Crème brûlée macaron: Also $3 because it's specialty? I don't know about that. It was my least favorite of all the ones I bought. It was sweet and tasted mostly of burnt sugar. From here on out, the rest of the other macarons are $2.35/each. They don't have deals for 6 or whatever. Funfetti birthday cake: One of my faves. I love the vanilla filling. The crunch of the sprinkles gives it added texture. Cookies & Creme: My favorite. I could eat 12 in one sitting. The filling is light and buttery. It just melts in your mouth. Espresso: Also one of my faves. Definitely for coffee lovers. The espresso flavor is strong. Worth it. Pistachio: This flavor is my usual go-to for macarons. It was ok. Flavor resembles Blue Bell pistachio ice cream. I would come back for their macarons. I kept mine in the fridge and resisted eating all in one sitting. The outer shell still had a nice crunch.

Well every t looks really good but they were having some issues. The macaron counter was not working so they had to go to the back to grab macarons from the freezer. The ones on display and on the list were not accurate with the ones they had in the back so we had to switch our order. They took a long time to grab our macarons. They only accept cash. When we got home the macarons were hard, dry and pretty hollow. Not great. Cute shop with potential.

Did they change their recipes to some of their macaroons, it's been 3 times I've stopped by and their rose and lavender filling taste different and the texture of the filling is different?

I was a long time customer, but as of yesterday, no more because of the customer service experience. To answer your question, I ordered a bunch of cupcakes for my big party last year and didn't know it was going to be different. The quality is not…

From the presentation (yes, I am talking about the box they came in), to the amazing confection aesthetics, to the quality of the liquor, to the moist texture of the cupcake itself and not mention a super creamy and yummy frosting; these cupcakes are like nothing I've tasted before. The owners are amazing, super professional and very knowledgeable; they are very thorough with their cupcakes descriptions, ensuring you make the selection that matches your taste buds best! Considering the fact that I don't drink at all, nor even like taste of many drinks (believe me, I tried many!); they type of alcohol they use feels refreshing, soothing and a perfect mix to each cupcake. So far, the Boozy Bellini is my fave, but the strawberry cream is a close second! Highly HIGHLY recommend to try them; indulge yourself and enjoy!!!

The cheesecake was bland, no real flavor to it. With so many options in houston, I'd try another place.

Crumbville is such a unique bakery and record shop with a beautiful atmosphere and positive vibe…read more It has an old school Third Ward feel, but also reflects a contemporary mindset. I read somewhere that the bakery is set to close soon and wanted to share a few thoughts regarding how important this bakery is, not only to my original childhood neighborhood, but the city itself. What I love: how the building looks on the outside and inside; the owner is very kind, friendly and eager to converse with visitors; and the idea that you can purchase an album by The Jungle Brothers, David Axelrod, Andre 3000, De La Soul or D'Angelo along with sweet treats from the bakery is just so cool. As a cratedigger who loves buying records, this is just so impressive to me. The great artwork hanging on the walls is another plus. A family member bought a delicious strawberry cake for my birthday a few years back, and that was my first introduction to Crumbville. The owner's decision to offer vegan and gluten free desserts was a smart decision, but she also offers regular baked goods. During my first visit recently, I purchased a strawberry cupcake, which had a lime-flavored cookie base. It was sublime and reminded me so much of the birthday cake from years ago. Service was great here. Overall, I just love this place. It makes me smile, and I will be very sad to see it go.

I put an order in with the owner 3 days prior for a VEGAN LEMON CAKE. She said yes (failed to say it was a lemon ginger snap cake) and it was doable. I explained that my friends are now vegan and that I had been scouring the city. She was so friendly and charming and I really wanted to love her and the output of her services/goods. But I don't. In fact, I'm severely disappointed. I told her I had a lunch at noon and needed the cake by 11:15 bc I have a lunch at noon on the other side of town(their website says they open at 11). She asked me to come closer to 11:30 which I came at exactly 11:30 and the cake wasn't even there! Her son was there and he was sooo incredibly nice! Gave me some vegan samples and I ended up getting the vegan chocolate chip cookies and the vegan Netflix & chill. It was alright but the chocolate chip was where it's at. They each were $5.50.
