Welcome to Some Crust Bakery! Some Crust Bakery has been Claremont’s Bakery for over 100 years. We are proudly an institution in the city of Claremont, a beautiful college town about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, nestled at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains and Mount Baldy. If you are looking for quality, hand-made baked goods, cakes, pies, cupcakes, bread, sandwiches, coffee, and so many other delicious treats, then you have come to the right place!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
It is with an extremely heavy heart that we learned of the passing of one of Some Crust's most loyal customers and friends, Wilkie Phillips. Reportedly he was back east in Washington DC visiting family when he died. Wilkie was a fixture not only at Some Crust, but also at other Village restaurants, including Union on Yale, Tutti Mangia, The Back Abbey, and especially the long gone and much lamented Nick's Cafe Trevi. He was insanely knowledgeable about seemingly everything, remembered everyone's birthday, and watched out for and cared about generations of Some Crust employees and customers. His whip-smart observations, matter-of-fact view on many subjects and dry sense of humor made our day on more than a few occasions. We often joked with him that he was the "Some Crust Maître D". Just having him hanging out in front of the Bakery with a his cup of coffee and a cigarette and a good book seemed to denote that all was in its place, and Wilkie would let us know if it wasn't. Godspeed old friend. We will miss you terribly.
Attention Loyal Crustomers- Christmas is fast approaching! If you want to pick up goodies from Some Crust on either Sunday, December 22nd, Monday, December 23rd or Tuesday, December 24th, you will need to have your pre-orders in to us by Saturday, December 21st. Because of the high volume of orders, we will not be accepting pre-orders after that date. Some Crust will be open our usual Tuesday hours, 6:30am until 4:00pm on the day before Christmas, Tuesday, Dec. 24th. The Cafe side will be closed that day, (we need space to put all the pre-orders), and we will not be serving either sandwiches or sliders. All items will be sold on a first come, first served basis, and we will not be able to hold items for later pick-up. If you do decide to stop by Some Crust without making a pre-order, we would advise you show up as early as possible, as the selection of items available will be better. The day before Christmas tends to be one of our busiest days of the year, so be prepared for lines. Those customers with Christmas pre-orders, who don't need anything additional from the Bakery, will be able to come to the Cafe door, give their name, and a Crustie will fetch the order from the orders lined up in the Cafe. We will have plenty of Crusties on duty to help you and get you off to your holiday plans as quickly and efficiently as possible. Some Crust Bakery will be closed Wednesday, December 25th, Christmas Day, and Thursday, December 26th, Kwanzaa/Boxing Day, so that our employees can spend time with family and friends. We will be open our regular hours again on Friday, December 27th, from 6:30am until 6:00pm. New Year's Eve, Tuesday, December 31st, Some Crust will be open half the day, from 6:30am until 12:00pm. The Bakery will be closed Wednesday, January 1st, New Years Day, and will return to our regular hours on Thursday, January 2nd, 6:30am until 6:00pm. We want to take this time to wish all of our Crustomers Happy Holidays, whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year. We also want to say a big Thank You to all of our loyal Crustomers for your support, patronage, and friendship throughout the year.
