Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

We were impressed with the ease of seating and overall customer service. Our server Marcos was great. He was very attentive without being over bearing- thankfully, he was great because the food definitely was not yet star of the show. Crumbs has a huge menu and I always approach with caution places that have hundreds of dishes- there is usually not much special about any one dish. With that many offerings, there isn’t a lot of thought regarding taste, seasoning and herbs- usually no depth to the food. And my caution was spot on. I ordered French Toast combo with one fried egg and turkey bacon. I also had a side of banana foster. Nothing special about the french toast and the banana foster was definitely not cooked well. The bananas were still quite firm- tasted like cut banana swirled in caramel sauce. They cooked my over hard egg perfectly, but it had a weird taste that I couldn’t identify, so I couldn’t finish it. I asked for the bacon to be cooked crispy and sent it back- they sent it back so hard, it really couldn’t be enjoyed. I cook turkey bacon often so I know it can be crispy and be soft enough to still eat. My spouse ordered pancake combo with bacon and scrambled eggs. Again nothing special and because their eggs are pre mixed, you just get a pile of them. The pancakes were ok- very thick, but nothing special. We also ordered a side of hash brown- no seasoning, no onions or bell peppers- just a decently cooked mound of shredded potatoes. We were going to order bottomless margaritas, but were advised that they get shipments on Tuesdays and therefore, they didn’t have Tequila. Bummer- if you’re offering bottomless something- it definitely shouldn’t be an item you’re waiting on- it should be there in abundance. Instead we made our own beermosa. I really liked their menu on the IPad. Customer service was great- but the food missed the mark for me. It was almost like it was all dressed up with nowhere to go. I think restaurant should think in terms of menus- less is more. And focus on making really tasty, special dishes…not a plethora of dishes that are just, well- food.

Was here on the 18th for a mother & daughter breakfast day, first experience was very nice, service was quick, the food was good and we overall had a wonderful time! My daughter enjoyed her crepes and I my California Benny! We were full and sadly couldn't finish our breakfast but still left satisfied! We'll certainly be coming back!

The food was excellent and the service by Marco was exceptional. For how full the restaurant was, our table of four was sat right away in a comfortable booth. The menu on the tablet was nice. Drinks came out quickly and were exactly what we expected. Food was thoughtfully prepared and plated. It arrived hot in a timely manner. Couldnt have been a better experience. W-Marco!
