Crust & Crumb Bakery — Restaurant in Beach Haven

I came in 9/14/24 around 1230 to acquire some things to bring back to family in NY. I asked for 1 sticky bun. Asked for other things....5 pieces of crumb cake, 2 cookies 2 cinnabons 2 donut bites a 1 sticky bun.....68ish bucks. I was stunned by price for what I asked for. I didn't say anything as I worked there the summer of '96 and I support store for 28 years for nostalgic reasons. I thought this is Biden/Harris America and we're here all suffering through it. Low and behold they gave me 9 stickybuns. Crazy..... asked for one got 9. We now live in a society where we literally have to check our boxes and everything these young ones are doing. Sadly these kids are not like us. And I know I wasn't perfect. But we didn't have phones yet and I know these phones have had a terrible cause and effect on brains/attention spans. Called the manager very nice. I live in NY nothing they can do although they were willing to rectify situation. I appreciate that. But now everywhere I go I'm going to have to act like a "Karen" and check everything to ensure Im not robbed blind. Sad times. Also staff should say thanks when they get tipped. I tipped, no thank you, and I got fleeced up the a$$. It's rude not to acknowledge a tip, especially one that is not necessary. I see it everywhere. Be better than everyone else, teach your staff manners and to say thanks. It matters in your customer service and reflects on your business. These are the soft skills that are meant to be acquired during these beginner and summer jobs. I'd like to think I learned some of that there. No point in having a good product if delivered poorly. Tell these kids slow down, pay attention and get order right. Repeat it before ring out. Show the box before closing it! Still a charming place but sign...

Crust & Crumb is one of those classic LBI bakeries you’ll want to come back to every summer. The elephant ears are the standout for me—flaky, buttery, with a light cinnamon-sugar coating and just the right crunch on the outside while still soft in the center. They’re big enough to share (but you probably won’t want to).

They have a wide selection of baked goods, including danishes, crumb cake, cookies, donuts, and fresh breads. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful. The bakery is popular, especially in the mornings, so expect a bit of a line during peak hours—but it moves quickly and is worth the wait.

The staff is friendly and efficient, and the place has that old-school Jersey Shore vibe. It’s located right in Beach Haven, near other shops and attractions, so it’s easy to stop by while you’re walking around. They’re cash-only, so just be prepared, but there’s an ATM nearby if you forget.

Whether you’re picking up breakfast or grabbing a treat for the beach, Crust & Crumb is a local favorite for...

Best jelly donuts on the island! We have been coming to the bakery for years and have loved all the items we’ve had at the shop, but recently my husband found a blueberry glazed donuts (not a blueberry cake donut, but a plain donut with a special blueberry glaze). I called to ask if they’d have this specific donut and they said they should but they were a bit confused on what I was asking for. When I showed up they didn’t have it, but staff was great, super accommodating and helped us by adding some blueberry glaze onto a strawberry glazed donut and my husband said it was even better than the original! Thank you to all the staff they were great and I wish I grabbed their names to give them a...
