Crave Bakery and Coffee Bar

It was our first time here today. We were greeted by a kind, cozy atmosphere and an attentive staff. The coffee was made to order quickly, and when I tell you it is DELICIOUS I really mean it. We also ordered breakfast, which was also made fresh to order and totally worth the wait! The portion sizes are Enough to easily feed two people, and the food itself, amazing! This is absolutely a local business you will want to support, they will definitely be seeing us again!

Fresh, friendly , so many options of pastries, cakes, and bagels

Had lunch here a couple time loved it!
Love the coffee bar especially the oreo coffee
Crave bakery and coffee bar is my favorite go to spot I moves outta Hickory 2 years ago and travel from. Indian river just to get a coffee and a keto cupcake

Great little bakery with more than just desserts Had the tomato soup with homemade croutons. It was wonderful! The pastries looked so good. My friends had the macaroons and a smoothie and really enjoyed them as well. I was impressed that they had Keto and Vegan options. A great place to stop on your way to OBX.

Awesome little cafe!! They had fresh bakery items that looked amazing! My wife and I got the banana walnut muffin and the cranberry apple muffin. Both were delicious. The coffee is superb as well! I got the cafe au latte with a little vanilla and it was an amazing combination that wasn't too sweet or too bitter. My wife got the cafe latte with vanilla and hers was more like a sweet latte, but still delicious. They are a little pricey but the quality of the products outweigh the higher price. Also the staff were very friendly and helpful!

Delicious coffee and a beautiful restaurant next door. I can't wait to try the cupcakes! They look absolutely divine!

Sometimes we have bad luck with new places, but my husband and I just left this wonderful bakery with a Hazelnut Romance cupcake. It was by far the best cupcake we have ever had. It felt heavy to hold but it was light and moist and frosting and decorations were perfect. We will be back to try other items very soon. Owners are absolutely lovely too.

Ordered Keto cupcakes for wife's birthday. When I went to pick them up, they weren't ready. Staffmember said the order never "printed out" so they had no awareness of the order but order was in their system. Option was to take Keto cupcakes available in the case (different from what was ordered) or receive a refund. First time customer and won't be back.

We ate delicious soup, chicken salad on decadent rolls. We took coffee and cupcakes to go. Not cheap but obviously made from scratch with quality ingredients. Clean unisex restroom for patrons. Friendly staff. Only a couple of casual tables for on-site eating. Located in a strip mall, there's plenty of parking. Easy access to highway.

From out of town and bad memory headed down S. Battlefield looking for coffee and a quick charge on my phone. Found this place by chance and so glad I did. Peopld were super friendly helped me decide on my flavor of coffee, hand made deliciousness! The cinnamon bun is a mini cake and so delicious. The amphosphere and music was a great start to my day.

Bookmarked them to my list of must do when Iam back here.

Crave's website indicates that they are an all natural made from scratch bakery with a large selection of breads, pastries, danishes, bagels and such, plus a rather impressive breakfast and lunch menu, and many coffee drinks. We were excited to check them out and looking forward to a great breakfast and bringing home lots of breads and pastries. However, once we got there, the reality was different. They are a cup-cakery, with artificial colors and toppings, and heavily promoting their chocolate bombs and vegan/keto options. They have no breads, pastries, or much of any other baked goods. In addition, their kitchen was closed during normal eating hours (11am), which is unacceptable. The pecan bar and cappuccino we had were fine, but it was not a meal and not what we went there for. Do yourself a favor, and just get food and coffee from the Wawa next door and don't waste your time here.
