Update 10/29: Chris at Lunch Break Chronicles reports that CRUMBS is opening Thursday! Rumors are rampant that CRUMBS bakeshop is opening today (Tuesday). I myself sorta doubt it, because this rain would be a bit of a bummer for a big opening, but you never know. In fact, I will not know, because I have to go to work. A cupcake store opening on a Tuesday morning does me no good. For those of you with a flexible enough schedule to stalk a cupcake store, well, I hate you, and I'm jealous, but do let me know if you see any bakeshop activity today!
I snapped a few pics of a wrapped-in-secrecy CRUMBS when I hit Starbucks on Saturday for a pumpkin spice latte. The windows are covered with brown paper so you can't get a peek inside. There was a little open space near the floor, and I did briefly contemplate getting down on my hands and knees and putting my face against the concrete to get a glimpse and/or a photo, but there were a lot of people out and about, and I did not want to look like a total freak. Actually, it was more because my husband was there, and he's easily embarrassed. Plus, I did not want to risk getting a tear on the knee of my favorite jeans.
I've gotta say, isn't this a bad time of year to open a bake shop? Aren't we all already freaking out about how much candy and baked goods that are already around? Or is it just my coworkers who inexplicably bring in bags of candy and put them out in highly trafficked areas? I've already had to cut myself off from the sugar train. I'm trying to go until Friday without eating candy. I think I'm gonna be able to do it.

The door was unlocked yesterday. After peeking inside, they didn't look ready to open today.
I will send HB up there at lunch if you would like?! Perhaps an after work trip over? :) Yum, chocolate!
Did a drive-by around 11:30am, they are not open.
They owe me cupcakes. I drove by on the 23rd, which is when they claimed to the Advocate that they'd be open and giving away free cupcakes to all who entered. And they were closed, and the Spawn were hella pissed that they didn't get any cupcakes.
Has anyone heard anything yet!
I want to go there today after work :o)
CALL THEM 203-322-8100!

Manager Mom,
Um. Yeah. Sorry about that.
Anyway, I'm glad there is someone else in Connecticut that unapologetically says "hella," though it makes me homesick.

Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate from the Howard Stern showing is going to be there from 4-6 this Saturday. Also all the stores in the center are having sidewalk sales. Should be a good time.
I called them, they actually opened yesterday. But they are open until 8PM today.
