Crystal’s Cakes and Cones

Yummy cupcakes and yummy ice cream! We got our cupcakes a la mode and they were delicious. There’s a good selection of flavors in both the cupcakes and the ice cream, something for everyone. The prices are very reasonable too! This place is just off the beaten path and definitely worth checking out if you have a sweet tooth!

If there was a ‘six star’ rating we would give it.
We hosted a destination wedding at Gold Bar Campground along the Colorado River in September and had our dessert catered by Crystal’s Cakes. We couldn’t be happier with the results!
From our initial contact through the planning and tasting all the way through the wedding they were AMAZING!
In all seriousness, I’m not really a big cupcake fan, kind of thought the trend was over and would never have imagined having cupcakes at our wedding — these guys changed all of that.
The cupcakes were incredible and the delivery and presentation were perfect. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to make and deliver cupcakes in the desert and have them arrive perfect and moist but somehow they did it.
They played a big part in making our day an incredible and I have to give a special ‘thank you’ Mary Beth for everything she did for us.

We were looking for ice cream and came to this place. The lady working the counter, was extremely kind and took our order immediately. We all got singles, but they were huge! We could hardly all finish them. Not to mention it was delicious! I would definitely recommend this place!

Pretzel cone? Out? Who runs out of cones in a place devoted to icecream as its main source of income? My wife was very disappointed to say the least. We had also spoken about cupcakes before we arrived and just about fell on the floor when we saw that it was $ 1.75 for a small cupcake. Looked like maybe two or three bites at the most. I don’t think I’m being cheap, just can’t justify paying that much for a cupcake, and a small one at that. What we did have was good, but being disappointed takes away from the fun & enjoyment.

The lady with the Lime Rickey hair is easily the nicest ice cream person I’ve ever met. The Farr’s ice cream is great like always. I’m not that down for cupcakes but I’ve heard they’re great so I won’t let my personal thoughts on cupcakes drag down their score.

Clean, well lit, friendly staff, great homemade ice cream, large portions and inexpensive. Did not try the cupcakes but they looked good.

It’s a good place and a friendly atmosphere. The lime sorbet was good. The cup cakes were fantastic. They use Farr brand ice cream.

The cakes are incredibly fresh and moist. The frosting is decadent beyond belief and the staff are always happy and willing to please. Don’t be fooled by how small the place looks, the cakes have huge flavor! Favorite dessert place in Moab

I really liked the ice cream. I had rocky road in a pretzel cone. The pretzel cone was really cool and added a nice salty compliment to the chocolate flavor.
I would have given it 5 stars, but the place was just complete chaos when we came in. They were super busy and the lugnuts in front of us wanted to sample a bunch of flavors before ordering. There was one lady and three teenage girls. The lady was really hustling, but the teenage girls just seemed a bit overmatched with how to deal with so many customers at once. We had to wait in line for a while before being able to place our order. But it was worth the wait.

We walked into an empty place, where three young girls were standing around looking at their phones. One of them reluctantly sauntered over, and said «yeah?» We asked if they had any carrot cake cupcakes, and she pointed to them, saying «just THOSE». So we bought two, took them to our hotel and threw them away – they were clearly a day old; the frosting was rock hard, the cake was dry and tasted like boxed mix. The girl was not friendly to us, but perked right up when some locals came in.

I got a red velvet cupcake and my husband got a carrot cupcake. We both liked ours and are going back before the trip ends for another. The place was clean and the staff was friendly!

MOTHER OF GOD, that French Toast cupcake is a sinful treat, literally THE BEST cupcake I’ve had in my life, and I’m normally not that big on cakes, this is just killer. Deliciously creamy, light whipped maple icing and a moist light cake that indeed tasted of a very light cinnamon French toast; what a gem, try with a scoop of coffee ice cream. Looking forward to trying their other varieties.

Came in looking for some delicious Ice Cream! DH doesnt like frozen yogurt so we stopped here. The ice cream is very good and extremely creamy. I had the Moose Tracks and DH had the Praline Cream. Yum yum!

My sons and I were out just checking places out and stopped in here to check out their selections, we literally didn’t have any money so we were just window shopping. But my oldest son found and ice cream treat he really wanted he was so sad when I explained we didn’t have any money right now he didn’t throw a fit and was just sad as we started to walk out and the lady behind the counter asked if she could buy it for him and I said that was fine. So to make a long story short I can’t tell you about the good quality but I can tell you the lady behind the counter we met was amazingly nice and I can’t thank her enough for her kindness and generosity! There’s not enough people in the world like that anymore, I plan to pay it forward for sure after the kind gesture!

Delicious snack while in town. Awesome ice cream and we splurged for the special cupcake she makes! Must snack in Moab!

We thought Crystal’s Cakes and Cones was awesome! The cake was super moist on the cupcakes. It made my nieces birthday party that much better! The staff was awesome! Next time we are in Moab, I am for sure going in for some more! …Yummy!

I went in expecting all kinds of delicious slices of cakes… instead I got cupcakes and ice cream. I had the carrot cake cupcake and raspberry white chocolate cupcake, both were okay. I also had a strawberry ice cream, which was okay. The décor and the bakery itself was very plain. I am definitely going to look for another place to satisfy my sweet-​tooth next time I’m in Moab.

Dear Crystal’s — thank you for being Moab’s sweet-​tooth satisfier. I love getting treats from you as your staff is consistently friendly and courteous even though it is apparent that I am a sweaty tourist partaking in the outdoor offerings. Your cupcakes are moist with great frosting, and the size is larger than expected… a good thing! Indeed, it is not hard to find street parking near your conveniently-​located shop, at least in the fall and spring.
The hordes of screaming children visiting your establishment can be off-​putting, but hey, I understand they are the bulk of your cupcake and ice cream business. Thankfully there are benches outside for the non-​parents to get away from the screeches, and you all must be saints for putting up with that noise for hours on end. I can tell that these parents themselves are exhausted from touring/​hiking all day with their little ones, so your shop is a haven for us all. Especially since the interior has a cute whimsical vibe reminding us of our childhoods.
I will be back!

This is a mandatory stop for any trip we take to Moab. Last time had the Vanilla Vanilla cupcake a la mode with Moose Tracks ice cream.
Charming interior. Great local feel. Homemade cupcakes. Conveniently located in the middle if town. Save room for dessert! You might even get to meet Crystal.

We popped in after dinner at Desert Bistro. The ice cream was delicious! It was a great find.
