Crumble Coffee and Bakery
316 S Swain Ave, Bloomington, IN
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Bloomington with warm wood tones and thoughtful design, this spot excels at both exceptional specialty lattes and house-made pastries and creaks, earning consistent praise for quality without breaking the bank. It's the rare café that nails the balance between serious coffee craftsmanship and genuine coziness—baristas here clearly take pride in their work, making it equally suited for a solo study session (just bring headphones for the lively acoustics) or lingering over coffee with friends. The abundance of outlets, large tables, and both indoor and outdoor seating make it feel designed for people who want to actually spend time somewhere, not just grab and go.”

Great coffee and snacks!! I love studying here as they have large tables and charging outlets. It could get loud because of the acoustic so if you want to study here, remember to bring headphones! It’s lovely! And make sure to park at the right spots and not in front of the dentist office, they tow aggressively even if it’s in the same parking lot.
Very cozy place with wood tones and warm lighting, and lots of seating. Excellent food and drinks. They do sweet and savory baked goods, quality coffee and tea, and crepes, all executed very well. They change up the menu with different quiche, galettes, cakes, dessert bars, and muffins every day, with a meat and vegetarian option for the savories. I'm not super into eggs under most circumstances but I am pretty weak to their quiche and galettes. The crust alone on the quiche is very good. Because they change up the flavours, they sometimes have very conventional flavours and sometimes more interesting combinations of vegetables. I also keep coming in thinking "Okay, this time I will not get a slice of cake," and then I see what they have and I'm like "Well I guess I have to get this." They have really good cake and creative flavours. Their loose leaf tea selection and chai latte are also excellent; I wouldn't put the matcha in the top tier of matcha but it IS pretty good and I'd order it again. The baristas are usually nice, but there's often a mild lack of professionalism, like they'll be joking with each other so loudly that they're the loudest people in the shop, or one time I ordered a crepe and the person making the crepes said something to the other barista along the lines of "Thank god it's almost 2 so I don't have to make any more crepes." They're university students and I get not wanting to be at work, but it feels so awkward to be on the customer end of it.
Love this place.. great coffee and drinks. They have a menu of special drinks that is unique and fun. Food is fantastic, they make most of the stuff there. Service has been nothing but awesome. Atmosphere is cool coffee shop to chill, work or sit around with friends
A beautiful cafe for specialty coffee and a nice place to enjoy it. We ordered a latte and it was just what we wanted. Thanks to the artist barista. There are indoor and outdoor seating areas. I recommend visiting it☕
Cool coffee shop with more affordable drinks than most places. They have some really cool latte options and nice desserts as well. There’s plenty of seating although not a ton of parking. Definitely worth checking this place out for a tasty drink.
