Crumbs Bake Shop will open a Westport branch next March on Taylor Place behind Tiffany’s.
An application for renovations to the building has been filed with town officials.
Crumbs Bake Shop first opened its doors in March of 2003 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.There are 21 branches open or soon to open in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California.
The Westport store will be the third in Connecticut. A branch opened in Stamford this month and another will open in New Canaan in January.
According to the store’s Web site, the menu is “an irresistible blend of comfort-oriented classics and elegant baked goods but the specialty of the house is cupcakes.”
Crumbs has more than 25 varieties baked fresh daily and every Monday there is a new cupcake of the week.
“The stores are inspired by old-time candy shops and are warm and inviting with wood cases, tiled floors and wall to wall treats,” according to the Web site.
Longtime Westporters will remember that the Crumbs site is just around the corner from where Marvel’s Bakery was a downtown mainstay for many years on Post Road East.
We need to protest the opening of this bake shop. How about another bank instead?
Allen,
Thanks for that comment – easily the best post I’ve read here in a long time.
I am looking forward to the Artie Lange cupcake. :^)
This is the best news I’ve heard all week.
As long as it isn’t a bank, clothing store or a place to buy cute candles it works for me. Now, when will we get a bookstore downtown?
