CRUMB BROTHERS

CRUMB BROTHERS

My first experience with this bake shop was at the Cache Valley Farmer's Market Clayton and I frequent each Saturday morning in the summer. Crumb Brothers has a stand where they have small bread samples in jars. I'm talking like 15-20 different samples. For me the moochie sample queen that = heaven. But the idiots behind the stand conveniently put the samples in jars where I can't fit my fat fist/hand in. Isn't there a clever saying about if there is a will there is a way? Keep that in mind Crumb Brothers. Some of us aren't as polite as my husband who feels bad taking more than 1 or 2 samples. There is also a clever saying about never turning your back on the ocean. Let it be known, CB's that if you turn your back on me I will open my pie-hole (that's my mouth mom) and pour those bad boys down my mouth like it they are milk. I'm just sayin'...

Ok so I don't really harbor bad feelings for CB's like it implies above. I just would like them to make my "free" breakfast a little easier. Anyhoo...So last Saturday Clayton and I hoped on the tandem bike and road over to Crumb Brothers. Neither of us had been to the actual bakery before and have never tasted one of their sandwiches. So we ride, we order, we get ready to pay and...no cards excepted! Don't we live in the 21st century where you can pay for EVERYTHING with a card? They tell us they will get our order ready while we scout out an ATM. Luckily there was one a few blocks away next to the local bar. We go through the drive through on the tandem (being next to a bar it is probably not unusual for people *drunks* to go through on their bikes) and bike back to CB's. Apparently CB's felt bad that they made us find an ATM so they gave us a FREE apple turnover (SCORE), $5 off our next purchase coupon (DOUBLE SCORE), and a FREE loaf of Raisin Walnut Bread (TRIPLE SCORE). Well worth it! I take back my previous comments about CB's being frugal with freebies/samples. As for the stuff we did pay for...they were pretty good. We got a turkey-avocado sandwich on Ciabatta bread and chicken salad sandwich. The Ciabatta bread tore the insides of our mouths up with it's hard crust. However, a hint of blood with your sandwich is a good source of iron right? ok it wasn't that bad. I really wanted to try one of their croissants (I hear they are something to rave about ), but they were out. Next time I guess...with our $5 off coupon!
