Seriously. That sounds really un-called for. yeah, I don't think I'll be going there anytime soon. When I buy a $2.75 cupcake (or similar) I don't necessarily put that quarter into their tip jar. I *do* need quarters for parking meters, and besides - why am I tipping you for selling me a cupcake? Isn't that basically your job? Sorry, but I don't agree with tipping counter staff. It is not compulsory. Tips are for restaurant waitstaff and bar staff. Also hairdressers, manicurist and valet -- people who wait on you and provide a service. Besides, you probably know that before the lamentable wages situation, tips stood for "to insure (sic) prompt service" -- in other words, it was a scaled *reward* for good service. I appreciate it's become an important supplement to a minimal wage, but counter staff? Come on! ^ what on earth could possibly have provoked such a hostile comment?! Seriously.

I had a friend tell me the staff was rude, but I still went in....but no longer.....

I ordered a hostess cupcake style one, supposed to be a copy of a hostess choclate cupcake, I was expecting a fantasic cupcake to put hostess to shame, what I got was terrible, there were 3 of us and we were going to each orde one, but we decided to try one first, good move on our part. It was the worst cupcake I have ever tasted, we all took one bite and threw the rest away. It tasted fake like chemicals, maybe they really were imitaiting a hostess cupcake, but I think the hostess one would be much better. Very dissapointing and waste of money.

Didn't realize Crumbs crossed to the pacific. Don't know if anybody else is NY based at lst somewhat, but they do catering too. I actually found this deal for the co. I work for. We had a kick-ass b-day celebration for my boss. http://eats.com/restaurants/new-york/new-york-city/manhattan/upper-east-side/crumbs:-free-cupcakes-with-first-catering-say-eats-42762/details/ I think it works at any location, at least in NYC.

Dry cake, and frosting so sweet it made my teeth ache. They did look really beautiful, but I'm more concerned with the taste.
