Born in Logan, Utah Crumbl took the city by storm, their Instagramable rounds offered in thirty stores across six states by 2019 and now easily 100+ with six in Las Vegas including the Durango location opened in May 2020.
Created by Sawyer Hemsley and Jason McGowan, rapid expansion through franchising yielding mixed results from store to store as evidence by Social Media, it was after three improving experiences that the westside storefront proved competent, the staff exceedingly pleasant whilst describing each $3 choice.
Undoubtedly popular in part due to photogenicity, though a sterile interior oversells the fact that everything is made from scratch, the first thing those entering will notice is Crumbl’s limited collection of just six weekly flavors, four specials alongside Sugar slathered in seasonal Icing plus Chocolate Chip that uses all Milk Chocolate and trends far too sweet.
Still a young company, so much success despite only starting in September 2017 certainly enviable, best bites came from specials that included “Peanut Butter Nougat,” all the flavors of Snickers well represented even before placing Candy pieces on top.
Offered onsite or via delivery from 8am until at least 10pm Monday through Saturday it was next that Blue Monster merged crumbl’s Sugar and Chocolate Chip into something slightly better while Almond Coconut Fudge riffed on a Mounds Bar nicely.
Again finding “Cake” concepts better than the Cookies by which crumbl made their name “Cornbread Honey Cake” set a high standard for both the brand and Cookies in general by creating something just savory enough to be Cornbread and then offsetting it with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting plus textural components.
FOUR STARS: With Cookies currently seeing a surge in popularity Utah-brand Crumbl lures guests in by rotating flavors weekly, this collection successful with a few flavors but still more “cake” than cookie.
RECOMMENDED: Peanut Butter Nougat, Almond Coconut Fudge, Cornbread Honey Cake.
AVOID: Chocolate Chip, Sugar.
