Lemon Cake with Lemon Cream Icing
Bradley L.

My company supplied delicious cakes and cookies from this black owned business in Houston. I'm really impressed by the food but also the details the owner has taken the time to add to their business. I love nearby and will certainly be ordering from here in the future.

7-Up Pound Cake Slice had no flavor. It wasn't sweet, but it was dry.

Went on a Saturday and Cakes were half off. $5 dollars instead of $10. The cakes were dry and not too tasty. Ms Myrtle you can do better.

Heavenly Butter Cake with Butter Cream Icing
Juliet H.

Moist goodness galore! The hubs found this spot and brought home a pound cake slice and butter cake w/buttercream icing for us to try. One word: LOVE Both cake flavors are phenomenal, portions are perfect, and the moisture is on point. Not too dense, not crumbly, just spot on! Ms. Myrtle knows exactly what she's doing, and my sweet tooth approves!

Banana pudding
Farrah A.

I just had the best sweet potato pie of my life! It lasted maybe 2 days in the house -- amongst two people. And there may have been a little jealousy on who got the last bite. Luckily, Not Jus' Donuts is just a two miles away from us. The bakery is 20 years old, but their recipes scale back from generations on end. It's female-owned, Black-owned, and family-owned. And - according to their Yelp page - their main ingredients: Love and prayer Well that love and prayer is delicious, because we can't stop thinking about that sweet potato pie. We went back today but they were sold out; we got a single serving of the banana pudding and buttered pecan pie. Friends, it takes like butter. And pecans. Very rich. According to their menu, each day features a special on a particular item, like vegan cookies on Tuesday, banana pudding on Wednesday; peach cobbler on Thursday; and donuts are only available on Saturdays. Can't wait to get in on those. Check out their website for their full menu, both catering, curbside and specialty cakes. You'll find an assortment of pies, cobblers, two-layer vegan chocolate cake, cookies, cupcakes, pound cake, mini bundt cakes, cheesecake... it's my end of year goal to try all of their pies. If I can break away from constantly craving Big Mama's "World Famous" Sweet Potato Pie. Right now during COVID-19, they are only offering curbside pickup or delivery. Order ahead and online, through the Yelp app or GrubHub. Order in advance, because as I mentioned, some items might be sold out for the day. Keep up the deliciousness!

King Cake with cream cheese
Kartanya B.

Im from Louisiana and was searching for a bakery that makes king cakes and came across this bakery. I was able to pick up the cake the same day. The cake was delicious and me and my family enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this bakery and can't wait try other items.

I have been coming to this place for over ten years but my last straw was this past weekend where I ordered a cake for my son ! This cake was so dry and stale like cornbread! I paid over 100$ for the cake was specific with my design ideas and I felt like they just provided me with a quick item! It was stale it didn't come out how I expected and when I emailed them about it they basically told me I was lying about the consistency of the cake and they could tell the cake was indeed moist from pictures I took. I bragged on this cake to all the party goers and no one was happy about that cake not even my 5 year old son . He didn't even eat his piece . I asked for it to be colorful and look at these pictures . Plus the ink on the edible image was horrible . I can't patronize them anymore I feel bamboozled :( and I definitely won't be bragging or recommending them to anyone anymore!!!

Nothing less than five stars....All deserts purchased for Christmas 2022 were absolutely wonderful. I thank you and my family would like to thank you as well. Until next time

Birthday cake icing on top pecan Carmel glaze..Everyone don't  like your signature icing  on cake...!!

Poor business etiquette   On this past Father's Day weekend (2022), for my father who is turning 101, my wife placed an order for a German Chocolate Cake. It was not only a big weekend because of Father's Day, but my family was looking forward to celebrating Juneteenth and this cake was going to be a part of that celebration. We have never ordered a full cake here before, but we have had the small bundt cakes that are sold in the case. WARNING: If you order a cake from here you will not be given full details about the cake. The woman that takes your order is rude and unprofessional. It seems the owner is aware of this because if you see the reviews, there are many complaints about the service here. Not only did our cake look nothing like the bundt cakes that they sell, but they also added birthday cake icing to it. We did not ask for this frosted icing, nor were we given any details about the fact that they decorate the cake differently that the smaller cakes that they sell. When I called to express my disappointment with the icing, I asked if they could please take the birthday cake icing off. The woman on the phone got agitated, stated that is how they make their cakes and did not want to anything I had to say. After a bit of back and forth, the woman decides to agree to take the icing off and tell me I can pick it up later. Shortly after hanging up the phone, my wife received  a text message stating that we had been refunded for the cake. When I found out about the refund, I called back to find out what was going on and spoke to George. I was told that the woman had changed her mind, she didn't want to fix the icing and just decided to cancel the order. I told George fine, I will just take the cake with the icing since we needed it for the celebrations, and he told ne he would check on the cake and call me back. He mentioned before ending the call that he could not guarantee that I could get the cake because they have 70+ orders and losing one order will not hurt them. Please be careful when doing business with Mrs. Myrtle's Bakery because it is clear that customers are not valued. The attitude and anger that you might receive for a correction or customer request is insane.

Everything went well! The only thing I'd complain about is the parking. It's too close to Emancipation Avenue.

From the presentation (yes, I am talking about the box they came in), to the amazing confection aesthetics, to the quality of the liquor, to the moist texture of the cupcake itself and not mention a super creamy and yummy frosting; these cupcakes are like nothing I've tasted before. The owners are amazing, super professional and very knowledgeable; they are very thorough with their cupcakes descriptions, ensuring you make the selection that matches your taste buds best! Considering the fact that I don't drink at all, nor even like taste of many drinks (believe me, I tried many!); they type of alcohol they use feels refreshing, soothing and a perfect mix to each cupcake. So far, the Boozy Bellini is my fave, but the strawberry cream is a close second! Highly HIGHLY recommend to try them; indulge yourself and enjoy!!!

Let's just start with this: vanilla bean cake topped with vanilla bean frosting…read more I don't think I've ever tasted anything better. The cake is incredibly moist, soft, and full of rich vanilla flavor. The frosting is smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. Every bite tastes like real vanilla bean and pure perfection. It's proof that when simple ingredients are done right, they can be absolutely extraordinary. No fancy gimmicks needed--just an amazing cupcake that delivers on flavor from the first bite to the last. If you're a vanilla lover, this cupcake is a must-try. It may very well ruin all other vanilla cupcakes for you!

The cutest sweet treat!…read more Whenever I'm in Houston I know I'm going to have to some good food and even yummier desserts! My friend took me to CRAVE because I mentioned I wanted something sweet. She mentioned she had a cupcake place so we charged up the Tesla and went! Now, the service chef's kiss (muah)! The hostess or cupcakery person was so sweet and very helpful! The ambiance in there is so cute. I love that you get a view of the kitchen as well as the large glass display of the cupcakes. They also have cookies and cake pops too! I will be going back for a cake pop for my son those are his favorites. Now the deliciousness of the cupcake: the frosting wasn't too sweet it had the right amount of sweetness to it. The actual cake very moist and light. I didn't feel that I needed to chug something to drink after eating it. All in all I would definitely go back and try more flavors!

You can buy all the cakes by the slice or preorder a full cake. Just from the smell walking in I could tell I was gonna love this place. They have upbeat music playing and the lady was so nice. She answered questions and made suggestions. The price was not bad either. I got 4 cookies and 1 cupcake and my total was $31. These aren't little cookies either. They are big and you get them warm! She didn't have to warm them up she just handed them to us warm! They were the perfect amount of crunchy on the edge and gooey on the inside. All of them were amazing!

I decided to go for small just to try it out first vs get a slice and pay $15 which in the end it didn't matter cus it came out to $12 for 2 items I got. The cupcake I got was cookies and cream but it just taste like reg store bought cake. You know the type that it's "chocolate" but there's not much choc flavor to it. The cream cheese frosting was like eating melted grease and added nothing to the rest of the cupcake. I ended up taking a bite and dumping the rest. I got one of their brownies but gave that to my husband so he could eat it at work. So can't really talk on that.

Crumbville is such a unique bakery and record shop with a beautiful atmosphere and positive vibe…read more It has an old school Third Ward feel, but also reflects a contemporary mindset. I read somewhere that the bakery is set to close soon and wanted to share a few thoughts regarding how important this bakery is, not only to my original childhood neighborhood, but the city itself. What I love: how the building looks on the outside and inside; the owner is very kind, friendly and eager to converse with visitors; and the idea that you can purchase an album by The Jungle Brothers, David Axelrod, Andre 3000, De La Soul or D'Angelo along with sweet treats from the bakery is just so cool. As a cratedigger who loves buying records, this is just so impressive to me. The great artwork hanging on the walls is another plus. A family member bought a delicious strawberry cake for my birthday a few years back, and that was my first introduction to Crumbville. The owner's decision to offer vegan and gluten free desserts was a smart decision, but she also offers regular baked goods. During my first visit recently, I purchased a strawberry cupcake, which had a lime-flavored cookie base. It was sublime and reminded me so much of the birthday cake from years ago. Service was great here. Overall, I just love this place. It makes me smile, and I will be very sad to see it go.

I'm not sure how this place has so many excellent reviews, especially on the owner and the…read moreservice...mainly why I called and put an order in. I put an order in with the owner 3 days prior for a VEGAN LEMON CAKE. She said yes (failed to say it was a lemon ginger snap cake) and it was doable. I explained that my friends are now vegan and that I had been scouring the city. She was so friendly and charming and I really wanted to love her and the output of her services/goods. But I don't. In fact, I'm severely disappointed. I told her I had a lunch at noon and needed the cake by 11:15 bc I have a lunch at noon on the other side of town(their website says they open at 11). She asked me to come closer to 11:30 which I came at exactly 11:30 and the cake wasn't even there! Her son was there and he was sooo incredibly nice! Gave me some vegan samples and I ended up getting the vegan chocolate chip cookies and the vegan Netflix & chill. It was alright but the chocolate chip was where it's at. They each were $5.50.
