I am so disappointed at this place I had gone so much as opening a openrice account to say something about it.
I can understand the charm of this place.. the allure of western bakery with all the scones and waffles.. it's a interesting new choice for HK youngsters. I , too, was attracted to try their scones. I had a chance to do so while being extremely hungry one day in Causeway, I ran up to Crumbs and asked for a scone. That person was like "Pay first!!" I was so hungry I asked them to go get it and wrap it first while I pay since there was one person ordering his yorgut VERY SLOWLY at the cashier. The staff told me, "No, pay first!"
Come on, it's a $8 scone. I am not going to run away, it's only $8.
So fine, I will pay up. Then when I got the scone....... ......... it was so RIDICULOUSLY small. Like maybe 1/3 of the size of a normal scone I had in HK, I am not comparing to those I had in Canada or US or Europe.
WHAT??? This is what you charge me for $8? Now pastries is very cheap here, stop cheating customers with all this gimmick of "charming western pastry store". The guy in front of my paid $40 for his frozen yogurt, which is acceptable if you really really needed a fix, but it's very expensive to me. Maybe I am a cheapo. There are places with better priced food and services.
I would never, ever return to this place, especially if there are so many similar competitors of street snacks in the same area. $8 is ALL you are gonna get from me, and I rather had donated that to charity.
