CRUMPETS — Restaurant in City of Rochester

Waited 45 mins for a breakfast crumpet & one with lemon curd( the special of the day)to-go. I stood for 20 mins, then sat at the bench for another 25, quietly observing where I fell in line for the orders, there was a total of 4 to goes, all others dine-in. Which has small seating available. It is a cozy place with charm & I wasn't in much of a hurry, but became frustrated after waiting all that time seeing the 2 to-go orders placed after me get served. When I approach wondering my status, the "crumpet lady" was very unfriendly- not appreciative at all of a waiting customer- slide one box over, then finished the other saying, "there ya go." All other to go orders were placed in a bag. Nicely, the other staff gentleman asked if I wanted a bag. Why would this time be any different? Dear, Crumpet Lady, I enjoy your product, the atmosphere is lovely, but you might want to re-think, re-organize your system. At least at prime times.

Good lord. Truly incredible texture and flavor. These are like nothing else we have in Rochester. One of my companions had his heart set on a bacon egg and cheese. The woman and her husband were happy to fix it for him - even though it's not on the menu (yet). Third asked to be surprised with a topping of the houses choosing. Surprised he was, with a peanut butter and fluff topped crumpet sporting a scoop of that excellent jam. We all left very satisfied and planning a return visit. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and their food. It's something deliciously different with a comfortable flair of...

If you haven't had these pillowy treats then you don't know what you're missing. I just happened to come across these out of the blue at a different establishment that sold these crumpets. And never had the opportunity to actually go to the place until the other day to actually get them fresh fresh. They are so soft and melts in your mouth. I really enjoy them with the pistachio cream topping which I did make at home myself but crumpets were freshly made from The Establishment itself which also serves the pistachio cream on their menu. Very bright and cheery atmosphere with seating available and there is also coffee for purchase as well take the time and...
