I just received a box of bakery goods from The Perfect Crumb. The goodies are beyond good. They are awesome and delicious. I live in Pennsylvania now and the box was sent to me as a Christmas gift. I do believe Susan, the owner, may have used some of her grandmother’s recipes. The Perfect Crumb is just that Perfect.

Sunday at 10am went here with my friends, two married couples and no one was in the bakery. Susan, who found out was the owner, greets me by saying "hello when you're done ordering can you step outside because there's too many people in here." Rudest greeting. You shouldn't greet people like that and there is a politer way to ask people to wait outside which i have no problem doing but the tone was angry and irritated and there was no greeting other than those words. Then i asked her which she prefers the breakfast sandwich or the burrito and she says "i dont know theyre both good whatever your

Go to Alta instead -- better drink selection and way better service. My husband and I got kicked out of the store while waiting for our order, supposedly so the people who'd just come in could order, but there wasn't anyone behind the counter to order from except the staffer working on our order. Won't be going back, ever.

Well, I was so excited to try the fresh cinnamon rolls. I arrived early in the morning, only to be told she was still frosting them and it would be a minute. When the frosted rolls came out, I was asked if I wanted them warmed. I thought they were just baked? Received our rolls, walked a few blocks to sit down and eat them, only to realize that one roll had someone’s hair inside, and the other roll was hard. Such a disappointment.

Great service and even better pastries. The Perfect Crumb makes cinnamon rolls that are out of this world. The pastry dough has the perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar and the cream cheese icing sets it off - creating a sweet and tasty topping for the roll itself. Wish I had an entire pan of them right now.

Delicious baked goods ranging from muffins and scones to quiche and croissants. Hot coffee and cute decor complete this great spot for breakfast or a quick sweet treat. It can be hard to find baked goods that actually contain gluten and real sugar and butter etc.. esp in California, so we were thrilled to find The Perfect Crumb Bakery.
