Crumbl Review: Lemon Cupcake Cookie
This one sits on the lighter end of the lineup and is built around that classic lemon dessert profile — soft, slightly tangy, and finished with a sweet frosting.
The base of the cookie is soft and cake-like, very similar to a cupcake texture rather than a traditional cookie. It’s light, slightly fluffy, and doesn’t feel dense or heavy, which fits the concept perfectly.
Flavour-wise, the lemon is noticeable right away. It’s not overly sharp or sour — it leans more toward a smooth, slightly sweet citrus flavour that keeps it easy to eat. It doesn’t have that artificial edge, which helps it feel a bit cleaner.
The frosting adds that cupcake element. It’s sweet, smooth, and balances out the lemon so it doesn’t feel too acidic. Together, the base and frosting create that familiar cupcake experience rather than just a lemon cookie.
Texture is very cohesive here. Everything is soft, smooth, and blends together without much contrast, which works for this style of cookie.
What stands out is how refreshing it feels compared to the heavier cookies. It doesn’t linger in a heavy way, and it’s something you could easily finish without feeling overwhelmed.
Final Verdict:
A light, cake-style cookie with a smooth lemon flavour. Simple, refreshing, and well balanced.
