Crave Coffeehouse

There are many coffee choices. There are an unlimited number of lattes, cappuccinos, and iced coffee drinks. They also have carbonated beverages and juices. They serve breakfast sandwiches. They have a good selection of lunch/dinner sandwiches and hot foods. The cafe is located in an old church. It has an amazing wood floor, and brick walls. There are a huge number of tables inside, and a patio with several tables outside. It is always busy - sometimes pleasantly busy and sometimes crazy busy. The free WiFi is very fast and you will find a LOT of students there studying at all times.

They will make sandwich gluten-free and as I have wheat allergies this is great. Food is great

Nice place that serves Kaldi's coffee. They were out of all of their pastries, which was disappointing, but it happens. I ordered a shot of espresso and it would have been nice to drink out of a small mug, but they served it in a to go cup. Not a huge deal, but less enjoyable for some reason.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my dietary restrictions. I never leave reviews but the staff truly deserves it! The building is also beautiful and has a great atmosphere for working.

Nice, quiet and quaint coffee and sandwich shop. VERY reasonable prices. Very friendly people!!

Today I had the STL. Flavors literally caught me off guard as they exploded in my mouth. Wonderful food. Excellent service. Attentive staff.

Coffee shops are almost always divided into the infamously corporate (Starbucks) or the conspicuously anti-corporate (MoKaBe's). So imagine my surprise when I found out this coffee/sandwich shop was located "inside" a church. And by "inside," I mean Crave IS the church. My plain surprise quickly became pleasant surprise. The building interior is beautiful and, of course, unique for a coffee shop. Free wifi, plenty of tables of varying sizes, good food and friendly service. Besides being a good place to study for all these secular reasons, Crave's Christian atmosphere provides a special comfort for those studying under the gloomy clouds of final exams.

They were out of bacon, and only serve breakfast on Saturdays since they close at 12:30, but very friendly staff and amazing atmosphere. Will definately come back.

This little spot is one of the coolest places in town. When I am on campus, I love to stop in here and grab a snack, coffee or some treat. Everything is good and the atmosphere is spiritual.

I have been loyal to this coffee house for the past two years religiously taking espresso shots after every lunch. I have also enjoyed their refreshments and eateries for the years. For this reason, I believe I qualify as a perfect fit to leave an accurate, though highly opinionated, review for this place. I say all the positives because I love this place, and I say all the negatives because I love this place. I strongly encourage some improvements for the coming years because this place has so much potential, already having the awesome interior, chill atmosphere and friendly staff members. Here are my breakdowns of Crave Coffee House:

Food - They have really good sandwiches albeit overpriced for the portion. I strongly recommend Chipotle Chicken Sandwich or Pepper Jack Panini, two of my all time favorite.

Coffee - They use mediocre coffee grounds and the general consensus among my colleagues is that the espresso shots taste a little bit burnt. There are no other coffee places nearby in walking distance to turn to so we just stuck with it for the past few years.

Staff - It's an interesting atmosphere here where you meet very very very nice staff members who are just genuinely good people and a very very very grumpy owner with some serious customer-service issues. I really have no idea how and why I get on her nerve all the time, but she would just constantly treat us in very rude and almost condescending manners. I really don't remember any wrongdoing on my part to provoke her that much except the time I filled out a survey sheet pointing out some possible improvements. I actually got an email back from her disputing whatever comments I left as if she wants to fight me in a courtroom or something. It really didn't seem like she understands that I like to give a detailed and sincere customer opinion because I really do care about this place. It's a real shame that I started feeling myself pulling away from this wonderful place with great memories and great people after all these years. Again, it's a big shame because Crave Coffee House has so much potential to grow with an awesome interior and VERY VERY NICE staff members in spite of being managed under a mean and stingy leadership.
