☞ READ: Crumbs Bake Shop Leases on 125th


The New York Post today announced that Crumbs Bake Shop will have its first Harlem store set up at 215 West 125th Street: LINK.  This location between FDB/8th and ACP/7th has a Bank of America and the McDonald's on the east end so Crumb's should be arriving in one of the available storefronts towards the west.  This is probably one of the first better commercial chains to arrive in recent years on 125th Street (a step up from Starbucks) so the foot traffic and proximity to the Apollo would seem to be one of the factors involved for moving to this part of Harlem. www.Crumbs.com

  1. I can't wait...but Wimps and Make My Cake are Harlem Staples, so dont know how Crumbs will do

  2. Make My Cake sucks...I swear they use Betty Crocker mix. Crumbs picked a pretty crumby location to open up shop. Nevertheless, good luck to them.

  3. Bold move, but somebody has to do it. I think it will work out very well for them. Fact is, there is a lot of foot traffic through 125th and the Starbucks is constantly packed. Hopefully the start of many great things for 125th street. The development of the lot next to the Apollo will hopefully happen at some point.

  4. Wimps closed years ago. There is plenty of room in Harlem for more than a handful of bakeries...wish them much success and I look forward to stopping by.

  6. I like make my cake but even tho I'm all for local spots when it comes to Harlem and the Bronx. I'm a city girl so bring Crumbs to Harlem the would do fine people will fall in love with them. We need a Chipotle as well!

  7. I think its a great idea, even though not an ideal spot. It should be more along FDB, but I guess the rent is less expensive on 125...

  8. Sounds exciting, and a great addition to the neighborhood. Ideally, they should be on FDB btwn 113-124th but i guess the rent may be cheaper on 125th next to the McDonald's.
