Crumbs Bake Shop is having its “soft opening” today in the Loop. While it appears to be yet another new cupcake shop in Chicago, Crumbs founder Mia Bauer told The Stew that, “It just so happened that people got addicted to our cupcakes.” The shop will also sell a range of other pastries, including muffins and scones. That makes this an ideal stop for commuters in the morning, and not just for people out on a cupcake binge. You know, not that there is anything wrong with that. This is the first location in the city, but the New York-based chain already has huge presence on the East Coast and a few stores in Los Angeles. [The Stew/Trib]
