Employees laughed so hard spit flew into my face when I asked what a quiche is. I have never been to a restaurant as unprofessional as this. Did not offer me a napkin.

Was excited to try a new coffee place (visiting from Zville). I ordered the Honey Bear Latte Nonfat and my son ordered the Mexican Mocha Latte. A little underwhelmed with both. Mexican mocha tasted a bit bitter. My Honey Bear was ok but not very hot. One of my biggest pet peeves is lukewarm coffee drinks. I love my drinks hot hot not chuggable.

Stopped in Crumble for an afternoon pick-me-up during a work trip. I was immediately greeted by the friendliest staff who made me feel like a regular. I tried the chai latte and chocolate chip cookie- both amazing. I hung out for about an hour, reading and enjoying my treats in a cozy leather chair. There was a steady flow of customers- you can tell this is a community staple in Bloomington. I'll be back!

Very cozy place! I love the warm wood interior. They have lots of specialty drinks and a great variety of sweet and savoury baked goods. Whether you're looking for breakfast, light lunch, or dessert, and whether you're a tea or coffee person, you will find something here (except maybe not if you're vegan or gluten-intolerant - they have nondairy milks, but I didn't notice any vegan or gf pastries).I had a Red Pepper & Sweet Potato Quiche, an Almond Joy Cookie, and a Lavender Vanilla Chai Latte. All the food was delicious. I don't think I've had sweet potato in a quiche before but the texture worked really well with the egg base. The pastry crust was also perfect. The cookie was soft and thick, and they offered to warm it up for me which was a nice finishing touch. The chai latte was also great. The lavender flavour was subtle but it gave the drink a very smooth and soothing flavour. I really like that the lavender vanilla flavour is in the concentrate they use rather than being from added syrup on top of a standard chai concentrate, so you get a good depth of flavour with less excess sweetness.The baristas were really nice. There was a small chalkboard that listed some of the quiches/galettes, but it looked like there was more in the case than what was on the board, and I also wanted to ask about the two chai flavours, so I had a lot of questions, but the staff was really helpful and didn't get impatient. Standard prices for "artisanal" drinks and pastries.

One of my favorite places to study in Bloomington. The coffee is always delicious and you can never go wrong with the honey bear latte. If they don't ask you at the counter, ask for it "for here" and they will give you it in the cute latte cups. The people who work there are also extremely nice and they have a rewards system where if you get so many stars you get a free coffee. (Really exposing how much I go here) Only con I can think of is I just wish they would play a little less Lana del Rey and switch up their music a bit more, but this place really is one of the best!

Maybe this was a fluke visit, but my samoan latte was only slightly warm when given to me. The staff were not friendly and seemed like they needed some espresso themselves. I was sitting waiting for my latte with my back to the bar assuming they would call it out. After a coupe minutes I turn around and my drink was just sitting there. Maybe I'm wrong for assuming they would tell me my drink is ready?? Is that too much to ask?? Anyways I was underwhelmed. I work close by and will often recommend it to people visiting, but maybe I'll rethink that.Also, I recently ordered online from them. I got there after my set pick-up time and told the barista I needed to pick up my online order. They said most times those orders don't come through, so I had to wait for them to make my drink. Kind of takes away the point of online ordering.

I should've spent my money on Starbucks than this place. Coffee was absolutely horrible. The workers had attitudes and seemed like they'd rather do anything else instead of taking my order.

Service is always good. Unique tea drinks I believe I had an earl grey latte. So yummy

Cute little cafe and bakery. I got their breakfast quiche and spanakopita - I would say the dishes weren't super flavorful for my taste. But the Samoa inspired drink was wonderful and I really enjoyed it! The sitting space is really tight inside but overall it's a nice place.
One of the best coffee shops in town. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, rotating food options, and lots of seating. My go-to place on miserable days, it's a real pick-me-up!

Dropped by Crumble for the first time last week. Ordered a small mocha. Staff was cordial and I got my drink quickly. Unfortunately, the mocha was underwhelming. It tasted like regular coffee with a very slight mocha flavor. Not sure if that is normal for a Crumble mocha or what. It was not sweet at all, and I was expecting it to be a bit sweet. I should have tasted it before I left because I would have added some sweetener. I do want to go back and try again. They have some delicious-sounding drinks for the cold weather season. Their baked goods looked amazing too. Will try again next time I am in the area.

We visited Crumble when our favorite Bloomington bakery was closed. But I'm kind of glad that the other bakery was closed, because I got to discover Crumble, another fine Bloomington bakery. I wanted something sweet but I didn't know what to order, so two things: an almond scone and a blueberry croissant. The blueberry croissant was really good and unusual -- I had never had a fruit croissant before. The scone was huge and good, too. They had a lot of different pastries and baked good to choose from. I got a cup of black coffee to go, and it was OK -- it was a little bitter, but I bet it would have tasted better with cream and sugar (although I don't take my coffee with cream and sugar, so that was the problem).

Stopped in for a tea break with old friends on Labor Day around 11:15 AM. They ordered ahead of time and carried their gluten-free mocha bread (cake), spinach and egg galette, iced mocha drink, and lavender iced coffee out while we went in to order. The line was long enough that we decided to order online: a pink fizz (a coconut milk, rose syrup, and fizzy water iced drink) and a lavender chai. We hung out at one of the two outdoor tables for 45 minutes and went in a couple times to check on our drinks. They were slammed as many other places in Bloomington were closed due to the holiday. When we were about to cancel our order and request a refund, they had made our drinks. I enjoyed my pink fizz though it looked very different than the exciting dramatic photo on their website, and my partner enjoyed her latte too. Our friends liked their items too. Might recommend, as they have interesting signature lattes featuring coconut, caramel, cardamom, and more. One suggestion: would be great to change the labels on the single-stall restrooms to "all gender" or just take off the "women" and "men" labels. Thanks for considering how to cater to a variety of customers.

Their gallettes and quiche are worth it! Their coffees are also outstanding and the service is quick. Love coming here.
