I like the pastries here but I usually come Sunday morning and they are either late to open - or not open it seems today. Also the pastries are extremely limited and seem left over at that time. I mean just close Sunday I guess. I doubt I'm coming back again that time.

Amazing cinnamon rolls!!! Possibly the best I have ever had. Just the right amount of sweetness and the texture was perfectly moist.

I am so excited that this place is in my 'hood. I absolutely love their cheesecake and love walking to grab a few personal-sized cakes on the weekends. Also... a wonderful surprise that they sell Topo Chico! Excited to support a black-owned business. Thanks for moving in, and glad you are doing well!

BEST gluten free cookies I have ever had! Didn't even know about this place until my daughter in law brought some to a Christmas party. This place is the bomb! I wish I had a picture to add but I ate them all!

Chill music greets you as you enter Crumble and Whisk. Clean surfaces and open floorspace. The owner is working most days and is a delight to talk to. I've been twice. And I will be back. And that's before you get to the Food. I've tried several items now and each is more delicious than the last. Mr. Farriér is a flavor genius. From a wild mushroom galette to stuffed croissants, and avocado toast with pickled radish on house-made thick toast. I haven't tasted something I didn't love. If I could give this extra stars I would.

Food is stunningly good. The quiche was literally flawless the egg texture was silky smooth velet in my mouth... spiritual experience... the Mushroom pastry in the photo the butters crust and generous filling was perfect sized meal , and the dresssing on the greens complimented the mushrooms without the flavor getting lost.Only reason that the atmosphere gets 4 ⭐ is there is no place for me to lounge... and the food makes me want to lounge to prolong culinary delight.Give them your patronage and money...

Crumble and Whisk is in the Laurel!Thought I would try the pattisseri next to Santanas finally. I bought a cheesecake to take home to my wife. Crumble and Whisk, of course, she said, everybody knows the best cheesecake in the Bay Area. And now they have a permanent shop in the Laurel. I tried a cheese danish and the next day a croissant unlike any other. Really good and original, very light, incredibly buttery and great taste. Charles is obviously a master pastry chef and now he's in the Laurel. It's going to take me a while to get through the menu, including pot pies and sandwiches. I think I'm up to the task.

Bummer Their online site for pre ordering SUCKHeard such great things but no way to know as they don't have much in stock in person and couldn't get a full size New York - just plain cheese cake Presumably the most popular option Love to have tried Love supported a local business Made a long drive to be disappointed Will try again in the future But make customer interface MUCH easier please

I came here with 2 other friends to catch up over some pastries. We came Saturday morning around 10:30 and it was pretty empty.Crumble and Whisk offers both breakfast and lunch (think sandwiches, salads, and pot pies), but we were here to try out their pastries.We shared a couple items: the pistachio croissant (seasonal, $7.50), the spice pumpkin loaf (seasonal), the fruit tart ($7), and the banana pudding.Everything was pretty good, with my favorite being the pistachio croissant. The pistachio filling inside was tasty! The fruit tart was okay but it should really be called a lemon tart. I also enjoyed the banana pudding but I did find it a bit on the sweet side.The space itself is small, with some limited bar seating on both sides and two small nooks in the corner for a small group like ours to sit and chat. Most of the customers who came in were just grabbing something to go, so we had the whole place to ourselves for the most part.

Everything is at least good, if not great (you have to try the cheesecake, obviously), but I want to give a special shout-out to the vegan brownies, which may be the best brownies I have ever eaten (and this is not something I say lightly). They are SO. FREAKING. GOOD. And luckily (??) they come in a pack of THREE VERY generously portioned slices, so you can keep going back to the fridge (I recommend keeping them cool so they’ll be extra fudgy) to verify that yes, really, they are as good (better!) than you remember.

I finally made my way here and wow, it’s delicious. I just housed their lemon raspberry danish and both my mouth and my tummy are content. The service is excellent and clearly the proprietors know what they’re doing. This is a must repeat-visit!

We ordered three cheesecakes for our wedding party. They were stunningly beautiful, and delicious to eat. All three flavors (NY, beet & berry, and vegan vanilla) were great and well received. Highly recommended!

I had the Peach hand pie and berry cobbler and was truly blown away. I usually don't like cobbler because it is too sweet but this bakery's cobbler was just perfectly balanced. Hands down the best cobbler I've ever had.And the hand pie was so good I couldn't stop eating. This place is truly a gem which knows how to bake. I can never go back to the other bakeries that just load up every dessert with sugar for no reason... If you want a good baked dessert, try out this place.
