Crumbs & Cream: Scoop it up, leave no crumbs! (2024)

Another neon sign towers above the coffee machine, cheerfully exclaiming ‘Brew!’ to passersby in need of a quick cookie and coffee fix.

Diverse seating options ensure a comfortable visit for everyone. You can choose to stay indoors and enjoy the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingling with cookies and ice cream while relaxing on a swing, or opt to sit outside and soak up the vibrant life of Sea Point.

Joining the queue with fellow dessert enthusiasts (I wasn’t the only one making the most of a pleasantly warm winter’s day), the unmistakable aroma of freshly baked cookies filled the air, enticing my senses.

The store’s interior is a feast for the eyes, adorned with bright colours that enhance its whimsical ambience.

Winter mornings can be chilly, but we were here to warm up with a delicious Terbadore coffee.

Next to the coffee machine sits an irresistible selection of cookies, offering a myriad of flavour combinations.

Choices include brownie, red velvet, choc chip, Oreo, candy crush, and rainbow.

For those seeking a guilt-free treat, there are also banting and vegan cookies, each perfected through hours of recipe testing and baked fresh daily.

As I eagerly browsed the options, a friendly reminder about the cookie and coffee special for just R25 caught my attention, and I couldn’t resist.

I opted for the Bar One brownie cookie and a cappuccino.

The combination was divine, with the rich, chocolatey cookie and creamy cappuccino melting together in blissful harmony.

The shop is a visual feast, but it doesn’t rely solely on its appearance but upholds exceptional quality.

Everything is meticulously crafted on-site from scratch, from the homemade cones (or enjoy your ice cream in a cup, bowl, or nestled between two cookies) to the freshly baked cookies and made-to-order crêpes.

The ice cream, made with authentic Italian gelato, uses the finest local ingredients. The Belgian chocolate, for instance, is truly top-notch, offering a rich and indulgent experience.

The staff are warm and inviting, eager to help you craft a unique treat.

Whether you choose to create your ice cream sandwich by selecting two different cookies and a flavour of gelato or opt for a simple cookie assortment, they are happy to guide you through the process.

Next, I indulged in the dreamy Le Crookie Croissant, fresh from the oven.

This creation is a buttery croissant stuffed with gooey cookie dough, resulting in a perfectly flaky pastry with a luscious, oozy centre.

It’s a stroke of culinary genius – no wonder it went viral.

Each bite melts in your mouth, offering a sublime fusion of buttery croissant and decadent cookie dough. Even over-explaining does not do it justice!

Finally, we sampled the French Crêpe, adorned with a generous drizzle of chocolate sauce both on top and inside. The warm, tender crêpe offered a comforting embrace, making you feel like everything was going to be just fine.

It’s safe to say that the latest Crumbs & Cream shop has nailed it with top-notch professionalism and style, thanks to its amazing staff and baristas. It’s the kind of place that transforms a simple ice cream outing into a memorable occasion.
