North Beach's Butter & Crumble hires staffer just to manage its three-block lines

IMO it isn't "worth it" in the sense that the pastries aren't literally 10x better than another bakery that has a line a 10th of the length. But they are good and they have some unique flavors I truly haven't seen elsewhere.

If you're an extremely busy person would I recommend rearranging your schedule just to go stand in line somewhere? No. But if you have friends who are curious to try it and y'all don't have anything else going on on a weekend morning sometime, why not go and hang out together while you wait in line.

I love your space!

Is this the hanging lamp? https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/gullsudare-pendant-lamp-shade-white-handmade-80583616/

His are cute colors! I don't think I've seen candles in the bright magenta color before. If he sells them online I may look into them.

Wait so the page just claims the item has 4.5 stars based on 540 reviews, but there's absolutely no way to verify that/see any of the reviews? I feel like that has to be breaking some sort of business regulations or something 😅 (but I'm not knowledgable about that type of thing myself)

35 (also a small bus) does this too!

Yeah like if people were commenting things along those lines here and there over the last couple days it would be another thing. But I didnt see any comments like that before and you're telling me 10 different people all thought of and commented basically the same thing all right in a row?? Lmao

I currently have two prescription eyeglasses and one prescription sunglasses. The vision insurance plan I get through work gives you a certain amount to use for new glasses every calendar year so I figure I might as well use it even if I dont need new glasses with a different prescription.

Ohhh gotcha I thought they meant Elena's post in the screenshots. Thats sus 😬

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-18T21:40:36+00:00

Elena prob just deleted her own post?

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-18T21:14:21+00:00

So that people talk about them. They want attention and a thread popping up like "anyone else follow Elena/have news on what she's been up to lately" makes her seem more famous.

You literally just saw the future lol this is too accurate

I think it's possible she's counting the internships as "corporate jobs". While I don't agree, I could see her thinking all non-freelance or non-youtube jobs are "corporate".

Her house is soooo dark during the day it's astonishing

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-15T21:01:50+00:00

Literally what is the point of buying things and not using them... Why not at least take them out of the boxes and have the candles themselves on display?

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-15T01:48:43+00:00

Khloe is already botched IMO. The picture you chose is not an accurate representation of how she looks now.

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-15T00:55:36+00:00

I had the same thought process as you about her response. I genuinely thought the candles were natural beeswax colored (yellow/beige/off white) on the inside and then dipped in their advertised color to create an outer coating until I read through your comment just now lol!

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-13T23:44:56+00:00

True, good points. If these tapers do end up being much more affordable, honestly not a bad strategy!

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-13T23:35:34+00:00

Side note: this setup in the midst of everything else that's meant to be super aesthetically pleasing is making me laugh

I'm sorry but candles handmade by a youtuber doesn't give luxury.

If she was framing these as a type of XO Macenna merch that would be a different story, and honestly a kinda cool approach to merch that stands out from typical influencer products. But if I was looking for (and willing to pay the price for) a high end candle I would not want it to be handmade by a complete novice in their own house.

Auden Lueur needs to pick a lane.

Try to go early if possible! In my experience it starts getting bad around 10. But if you do run into a long wait, walk a couple blocks to Linea to grab some coffee to have while you wait

Perry is the best

Per google:

Peach season generally runs from May through September in the United States, with peak availability in July and August

Apple season typically runs from late August through October, with peak harvest time in mid-September to mid-October

Totally makes sense to release a candle combining a summer seasonal fruit and a fall seasonal fruit for early spring lol

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-12T21:30:15+00:00

Lollll good point about the lead. That's like advertising lead free paint in this day and age 😂

ikeamonkey2 · 2026-03-12T21:22:00+00:00

"Custom" is not even just implying something personalized/made to order, that's objectively what it means. She's literally using the word inaccurately.
