We went here this morning for breakfast and really loved this shop! For crumpets, we had the lemon curd, bacon/egg/cheese, whipped ricotta with walnuts, and the honey cinnamon. All of the crumpets were delicious! We really loved the lemon curd and the ricotta with walnuts. We will definitely be back again soon to try other flavors! read more

Very sweet little spot serving fresh homemade crumpets. Eclectic, clean and I loved the mismatched china for serving the crumpets and tea. The owner was very nice and explained that all the crumpets are the same but you pick what is served on it...from just butter to homemade jams, clotted cream, ricotta, cucumbers, eggs, etc. A nice amount of teas to choose from and French press coffee as well. My delicious crumpet was served with clotted cream and blueberry jam... Amazing. The Earl Grey tea was nicely steeped. I took home 4 fresh crumpets that will last a few more days and can also be frozen and easily defrosted. read more

Visited on a recommendation and everything about CRUMPETS exceeded expectations. The decor is unique and inviting. The menu is straight forward with many variations. The crumpets, which I'd never tried before, are clearly perfected and consistent. We tried 3 varieties and had french press coffee service, the experience was delightful. We ended up buying a couple bags of crumpets to bring home, just as delicious the next morning. read more

Every time I go to CRUMPETS I am so excited to be there. The food is fantastic and I love the variety of toppings! Evinn is always so friendly and excited to have new and old customers in for crumpets. It's a cozy spot for a few bites and some sips of tea or coffee! read more

We've been here probably at least 7 times so far. This is one of our favorite locations in Rochester. We love how unique this place is. It's so cute and quaint, with beautiful teapots and vegan crumpets. Like many who have frequented this location, it was here that we experienced our first time trying a crumpet. We've learned to never compare them to an English muffin or cut them in half, for the sake of culture. They have very good tea and crumpets. The entire experience of having a tea there is refreshing. The owners are also lovely to talk to. They have so many toppings and frequently have specials. We always try to make it in when they have a new special. This weekend-- bread pudding! We got it with clotted cream and our own apple butter. -@cophiescrumbs on insta read more

The atmosphere is Casual and the service is very friendly! I enjoy how many plants they have in the window, at the tables, above and on the counter, it is like a rainforest! Their bathrooms were also very clean. Me and my mom both got a bacon egg and cheese crumpet with extra crispy bacon and aged cheddar. I was on the verge of tears it was so amazing!!!!! We decided to get another one that was sweet so we got a blueberry jam crumpet. She then came over after we ordered and asked us if we have ever had clotted cream and she could put some on our crumpet if we hadn't. She put some on our crumpet and it was also AMAZING!!! They were super friendly and kind and I now want to go back for my birthday!! Thank you for the amazing meal!!!! read more

What could be better than a homemade crumpet? When I first learned of this place, I immediately bookmarked it as a must-visit during one of my Rochester trips. Took me way longer than I hoped, but I finally made it in this past weekend. CRUMPETS is absolutely adorable inside -- decorated with quaint little touches and the staff was just as endearing. Their menu offers a nice mixup of both sweet and savory crumpets, along with a rotating lineup of specials. I hoped for savory this time around, a crumpet with egg and cheddar cheese. My friend got a crumpet with their house-made raspberry jam, which I stole a taste of. Both were so delicious, the jam in particular had such a pleasant, tart raspberry taste. The crumpets themselves were so soft and fluffy, truly none that I've had before compare to these . I bought a pack of four to bring home! Next time I'm in Rochester I know I have to stop at CRUMPETS again. It is such a unique concept, and the food was delicious. A perfect breakfast or lunch stop! read more

Loved this place!! There is street parking around the shop. It is adorable inside, I love the plants and natural light. You can buy crumpets to go or order one of their delicious crumpet combos. We tried a breakfast crumpet with a fried egg, cheddar, and bacon as well as a crumpet with ricotta, honey and walnuts. Both were awesome!! The crumpets were sooo fluffy! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Cute spot with delicious freshly made crumpets. The ambience is adorable, cozy, and the owners are very welcoming. I enjoyed all the jams and toppings including the peanut butter and honey. The pesto breakfast crumpet was a great combo. I think the triple berry jam was our favorite, with the peach as a close second. English breakfast tea was piping hot and such a special treat to have in Rochester! read more

This place is so FUN! It's exactly what you'd expect - a variety of crumpets and limited coffee drinks! There are a few tables inside but it's a relatively small place. The crumpets are always delicious and cooked fresh! read more

I've been following the Crumpet lady on social media since she started her business, watching all the specials come and go, feeling tantalized by the combinations, but never finding the time to get over there during open hours. I finally fixed that when she advertised fresh, house-made clotted cream, and made a beeline over around noon on a Sunday. First of all, for whatever reason, our timing was perfect. Although both tables were taken (there's a table for 2 and a table for 4, plus 2 stools at the counter), and there was only one stool left at the counter, by the time we ordered (there is always a line with lots of people getting take out and/or ordering crumpets to go) and our order was ready, the table for 4 freed up. We quickly took it, even though we were only 2, and then noticed a couple people looking for a spot to sit, and since the table was large, and we are fully vaxxed and boosted, we offered the 2 open chairs to them and they took them. It was nice to share some chit chat, and our table conversation ended up engaging the patrons at another table too, and all around, it was so nice to talk to strangers!! It just felt really comfortable and welcoming. Second, the clotted cream was unfortunately sold out (though the crumpet lady herself promises it will make a return), so, next time around, we need to move faster on the specials. As the rest of this review will show, everything at this place is pretty special, and locals who've been in-the-know before me are snapping up all the goodies pretty quickly. Third, the crumpets themselves are exactly as others have described - sort of like a spongy English muffin, or a cross between an airy pancake and a muffin...there are options for savory and sweet, and for our first experience, we ordered some of each: one egg-cheese-bacon crumpet, one tomato-pesto-mozzarella crumpet and one with raspberry jam (house-made and low sugar - super delicious!!). We also ordered a full French press of coffee (versus tea, which might be more traditional...there was enough for several cups of coffee for us to share). I would say that the overall flavor of the crumpet is mild, even dipped in butter, but because of the richness of the added-on jams, pesto, bacon and cheeses, the combos really work, with the crumpet providing the perfect base. Fourth, the atmosphere of this place is really special. It's small inside, and you might end up waiting outside the door (i.e. in the elements...) for there to be enough room for you to stand inside in the line, or the tables might be full and you'll end up taking your crumpets home to eat, but once you are inside, the plants and decor and quaint mismatched eclectic china, plus the great light that streams in from the front window - all give you the feeling that you just want to settle into this coziness with your hot bevvie and crumpet snack, and stay a while. But don't stay too long because there are other people who also want that experience! Last things I'll say are that there is street parking or side street parking, but no designated lot for the business; the cutlery (both real for dine-in and plastic for take away) is self service; there is a wide variety of tea and coffee and you can choose if you want to-go cups or real china; and the crumpets themselves are vegan if you get one without butter, and there are enough options for vegans (jams, tomato, pesto, nuts and spreads), vegetarians (cheeses and egg) and meat eaters (bacon). Note to self: gluten free crumpets drop on Valentine's day.... We will definitely be back in the future, patiently waiting for a table, and hopefully beating the rush so we can experience the daily special! read more

Now if this isn't the cutest little crumpet place in all the land! I came here with a girlfriend for brunch and we weren't disappointed. We both opted to try one sweet and one savory crumpet. Great choices as each option gave our taste buds different stories. They were both delicious! Presentation was definitely a focus for the owner and some of them were so beautifully arranged! As I was leaving, I grabbed a six pack of crumpets to go. They were just as good at home as well! read more

I do believe this was my first time having a crumpet. It makes me sad that I've been missing out on these for so long. First, the inside was very cute. It's a bit on the small side but it is set up well. They have a good menu selection and a good mix of sweet and savory toppings. They also have a small beverage menu. I really wanted to try the lox and cream cheese but they were out of the lox unfortunately . So instead, I ordered the cream cheese, dill & cucumber. It was so simple yet so good. The crumpet itself is an odd texture. I expected it to be crispy, but it was more on the soft and doughy side, which I loved! I don't think I've had anything quite like it. I feel like I need to come back and try a crumpet in every way possible. Next time, I am definitely getting one of the jam toppings. I honestly can't stop thinking about it and I wish I got a pack of them to take home. If you're looking to try something new, go get some Crumpets! read more

For sure a "if I could give one million stars, I would" kind of experience! I am in love with this amazing addition to the Monroe Ave scene. I split with my partner the bacon egg cheddar crumpet, a raspberry jam crumpet, and an orange marmalade crumpet. ALL of them were so special and delicious in their own way, with the star of the show being the fluffy yet dense, absolutely not-what-I-expected crumpet itself. When Americans think crumpets and tea, I would say most of the time we aren't thinking of what's served at this storefront. I personally always thought crumpets were like...cookies? NOT so! More biscuit/English muffin combo but BETTER. Evinn makes them fresh and you can buy them in a pack to go or hot and topped with a huge array of delicious jams, honey, cheese, sweet, and savory options. Both the marmalade and jam are made in house and the raspberry jam is seriously the best I've ever had. The interior is artfully done (both owners are artists and it shows) and the perfect spot to sit and enjoy some tea, relax, and take a big messy bite into this new-to-ROC treat. Plenty of street parking on side streets and directly on Monroe. Follow them on social for specials and updates on artist pop ups and more! read more

"You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket" - a damn genius So you live in a town. Or a small or medium sized city. It's a fine place to live, the schools are decent (or not), and there are many bars and restaurants to which you can walk. Then, you (in this case, "you" means the entire population of the above described municipality, or the elites thereof) decide you want that next step. That next step towards greatness. That next step towards being something more! You build a Whole Foods. Years pass. Then you decide you need to take ANOTHER step towards being something... more! This is the time for you to open a crumpets place in your town, city, village, hamlet, or whatever (persons in Pennsylvania or New Jersey May open one in a township or "borough"). Rochester's crumpets place invites you in with the aquamarine facade that is squished between two older buildings. The interior of the crumpets place is cozy and the aroma of the crumpets wafts over your gigantic nostrils, as of the pancakes being made for you on a Sunday morn when you were just a lad. There are sweet options and savory options and tea options and to go options. The marmalade was the right choice, if you're a sweet person. It tastes... real. No smuckers here. This marmalade may as well be homemade (not sure if it really is or not. Didn't ask. So it might be. Let's pretend it is). Ricotta, walnuts, and honey were the right choice, if you're not a sweet person. The taste was subtle and enjoyable, flavors playfully complementing one another. The crumpets themselves are basically a thick, English muffin-sized pancake. Delicious. Get them to go and you'll be transported to Lord's Cricket Ground, London, every day of the week! read more

Ok I saw something fly by in my Insta and thought... Crumpets in Rochester? Yes Crumpets! Listen you can pick some up at a few stores around here.. but they can be a little meh. Cause they are not fresh, the real deal. Crumpets are one of those things you should get fresh.. eat what you can and freeze for later and pop in your toaster or whatever you like to use. I also ran into a friend who is a local food blogger also on insta Table for One. I'm sure soon she will post some things. Also we met one of the owners. Nice guy and told us more food options (like a breakfast sandwich or something) should be available next week or so. He was friendly and pleasant at 8 am god bless! The crumpets are made on-site and after they are made they need to cool for a while. What we got were just made and cooled overnight. They are lovely.. you don't cut them open they are not scones ok.. you toast them lightly (but I like a bit more toasting) the crust is toasted and the inside pillowy soft. I put some butter and jam on mine.. bliss! I just had two and my husband will have one with his tea later. The only place I ever got good crumpets was in the UK and now we have them here in Rochester, NY. They also have some teas, spreads and things for your crumpets and some limited seating. The inside is light and bright with all sorts of plants and the exposed brick. The outside is painted a bright shade of blue and you can't miss the store front. Hours are Wednesday-Sunday from 8am-2pm or I think until they run out. It's a nice addition to the Monroe-Meigs area. As always dear reader.. parking is street..but if you are not long try across in the shared lot with the convenience store.. that starts with a 7.... and a take out place. I will be back... you need to check them out. read more

An odd comment, but even the mouldings and glass-top surfaces were finished with care. It just felt like great pride was put into this place.

We ordered multiple crumpets to share because we don't live in Rochester but definitely didn't want to regret not trying all the flavors that we're interested in. The ricotta with honey and walnuts one was my favorite! It tasted like yogurt because the honey and ricotta melted down a little bit. The black currant jam was interesting so I could imagine that how nice their blueberry jam would be but unfortunately the blueberry one was sold out before we got there. We also ordered 12 plain crumpets to go because we knew we would miss it. They have bag of 4 ($6) and bag of 6($8) for to go. read more

Delicious Ricotta and honey crumpet. Tender and flavorful in the best possible. The owner/service was lovely.

We went early on a Wednesday when they first opened. Not busy and a really cute little place and lots of lovely plants inside. I got the salmon and cream cheese, my friend had the egg bacon and cheese and my mom got the ricotta, honey and walnuts. All were delicious! They weren't super huge and I probably could have eaten two if I was really hungry. Definitely recommend! read more

I love these crumpets! Stopped in initially for a yelp event and fell in love with these light, fluffy carb circles. My favorite has been the tomato, mozzarella and pesto crumpet - so fresh and flavorful with pesto running into all those little fluffy bubbles. Their fresh raspberry jam and orange marmalade are worth getting as a side when you bring home a pack of crumpets to heat up in the toaster for later. Location is clean and cute with a limited amount of interior seating. Street parking only on Monroe Ave so it can get a little tricky, but coming first thing in the morning seemed a little easier. Stop in and bring a pack home, you will love these. read more

Really cute place! If you are looking for a tea place in Rochester, try this one! I have never had a crumpet and was curious to try. Basically a crumpet is a mix between an English muffin and the fluffiness of a pancake. So light and delicious. My friend and I ordered a pot of jasmine green tea and crumpets with raspberry jam. Did not disappoint. The place is small so seating is limited. The decoration was simple and loved the plants and the exposed brick wall. They do have a small table outside for when weather is nice. The menu is also simple and they do offer savory crumpets as well. Prices are so reasonable. Staff was very nice and establishment was very clean. Really recommend this place read more

When you see a shop called Crumpets you know you just have to check it out! I was lucky enough to get a yelp offer to try this adorable spot. The shop is painted colors that remind me of preppy british color schemes. The inside is filled with plants, and has one table and a little bar along the wall for a few more seats. The owners (I'm assuming) were super nice and friendly. My bf and I definitely beat the rush when we arrived at 10am on a Saturday. There was quite the line after we ordered and we were able to nab the one table outside. I had the crumpet with orange marmalade. This was so delightful. The crumpet was soft and fluffy, very cloud like. From the texture you would think it would be dense but it wasn't. The marmalade topped the crumpet and I loved that it wasn't overly sugar-ed. It's house-made according to the person who helped us. You can see the bits of orange peel and I loved it. I ordered a side of bacon as well and it tasted great! My bf got the crumpet with egg and bacon. This combo was a definite winner. The egg was well seasoned and the bacon that topped it was thin but well cooked. The overall flavor combo was awesome. We both also got some teas to accompany our crumpets. Overall, we will be back. What a great and unique little shop and I'm glad to see they are doing well! read more

I am so excited yelp had an event here. I saw this place on spectrum news and have been wanting to check it out since. Crumpets did not disappoint it was way better than I expected I don't like sweets so I was concerned I wouldn't like it they were not sweet at all though Crumpets are a cross between English muffins and biscuits. The menu was far better than I expected with many different options of how to eat a crumpet I got the Caprese crumpet. It was delicious. Their tea was very good too.

CRUMPETS - Caprese Crumpet - Cafes Near Me - Rochester, New York

Hours are terrible. They've been closed the last 4 times I've tried to go and buy some crumpets.

I came here for a Yelp elite event and it was an amazing experience. The owners are super nice and we had a good conversation before they got a rush. I've never had a crumpet before and boy, have I been missing out. The crumpet itself is like an English muffin on the outside with the soft, dense, sponginess of a pancake on the inside. It's not sweet, but the neutral bread flavor makes it versatile enough to be accompanied by both sweet and savory toppings. I was in a savory mood so I went with the caprese, which is a crumpet topped with pesto, fresh mozzarella, and a tomato slice with black pepper. The pesto was banging with flavor. The basil and olive oil flavors we strong enough that they came through in every bite but without being too overpowering. The mozzarella was thick and added a nice creamy taste and texture and the tomato backed it up with fresh vegetal flavors and crisp texture. I want this in my life every single day. My fiancée got the ricotta with honey and walnuts and this was the perfect sweet companion to the pancakey-ness of the crumpet. The ricotta was so light and fluffy that it was almost whipped cream like, but still had rigidity to hold its shape and carry toppings. It's flavor was neutral and creamy but the addition of the honey came through and sweetened it right up. Finally, the walnuts provided a little nutty crunch to offset all the soft cream textures, making it an absolutely perfect sweet dish. 10/10 would get again! The French press coffee was also a very nice touch. It wasn't bitter in the slightest and went perfectly with both styles of crumpets. We'll definitely be back! read more
