Crave Bakery and Coffee Bar

A lovely find! If only we were local. I had the Cafe Nico latte, and it was delicious! My son and I also enjoyed the cupcakes we picked up. Bonus--the people working there were friendly and the service was great! We will definitely stop in again when passing through.

The bakery is great and tastes delicious. As for ordering food it took an extended period of time to get our food and by the time I got my avocado toast it was soggy. Definitely recommend the bakery and coffee bar. Just not worth the 40 minute+ wait for the food.

Decided to swing by to support a small business. This is a tiny bakery with a variety of coffees/drink flavors to choose from, as well as an attractive assortment of pastries. I had an iced caramel spiced mocha and a scone, both of which tasted great. Everything is reasonably priced. Great service, and the owner was really nice. Come here if you want a change from your usual Starbucks trip.

I can't tell you how much I SOOO wanted to love this place!
I'm a HUGE fan of supporting locally-owned businesses, which is so important whenever possible, but ESPECIALLY now, during the pandemic when so many businesses are hurting & shutting down.

I also REALLY wanted to love this place b/c, (& I cannot adequately covey how serious I am when I say this) my Husband & I are OBSESSED with great Bakery's!

Being from Detroit he was spoiled by the dozens upon dozens of authentic corner Bakeries. It's difficult to find legitimate full-service Bakeries in this region, so I was extremely excited to try this new place!

I was warmly greeted when I walked in, & there was a decent selection of cupcakes & macaroons, but there wasn't much else on display in the cases (although there was an empty case for hand-held pie's, so perhaps they were in the process of baking refills).

The cupcakes were *GORGEOUS* & beautifully decorated, so I began telling the lady that originally greeted me (the owner, I presume) which one's I wanted.

She rang me up, I paid, & added a 15% gratuity (b/c I was a Server in H.S./college, so I always add gratuity).

The phone rang, she answered the phone & another young lady came out to gather my order. She asked what I had ordered, I told her "6 cupcakes", & I told her exactly which ones I had requested from the the original lady, but then she double-checked with the original lady (again, presumably the owner). Apparently that's when it was determined that I had been under-charged, as 2 of the cupcakes were actually cheesecakes. I had no idea.

They were in the same case, so I assumed that they were all cupcakes. If they were marked as different, I didn't notice; nor did I notice any prices listed in the case, (much less that there was a 1 or 2 dollar price-difference/upcharge, although there may very well have been a menu/price-list posted, I just wasn't aware of it & didn't notice.) Even if I had noticed, I still would've ordered the same thing. A $2 or $4 difference between the cupcakes & the mini-cheesecakes wouldn't have changed my order.

I felt awful for the miscommunication & offered to make up the difference, & the owner declined my offer & went back to her phone call, but it was awkward. It may have been unintentional, but I was left feeling terrible about the whole experience.
To top it all off, the cupcakes definitely didn't taste fresh, either. It was just a very disappointing experience all the way around, & I'm really sorry about that.
I really, REALLY wanted to love this place. I very rarely write negative reviews b/c I would MUCH RATHER write a positive review about a great experience that I'm excited about.

Stopped here before heading home to CT. Ordered two breakfast sandwiches for my sister and I. Took about 15-20 min for a bacon egg and cheese. The workers offered coffee to us on the house while we wait but even that tasted burnt. Noticed they were a little busy so we decided to still give them a chance. Once we got our food noticed my sisters sausage egg and cheese was still frozen and extremely salty. The bacon on my sandwich was basically uncooked and everything was extremely salty. If the food was reasonably priced I wouldn’t be writing this review. I ended up spending 28$ on two breakfast sandwiches and tipping 20% for food that we just threw right in the trash. Had better luck at McDonalds down the road. I do not recommend coming here for breakfast.

Such an AWESOME bakery that I had to write a review. The ham and cheese croissant, challah (holla!!) french toast, London Fog latte, and cupcakes were DELICIOUS! The service was also great, and I was so happy to find this gem. I am from NOVA, but I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in the area.

First time going there I bought 5 different kinds of cupcakes which cost 33 dollars and change. They were the worst cupcakes we ever had they were so dry and not good everyone tried theirs and not one person liked them.they went in the trash. I don't know if they were old and stale or what but I will not be back

I have come in a couple times now and received excellent service, and their desserts are just crazy amazing. My favorite thing so far are the pistachio macarons, but understand that everything I've had has been so good that even that was hard to choose. Their macarons are the best in at least a 50 mile radius if not larger. Most recently I ordered "macarons--something pink, like strawberry, and fun for my five year old's birthday" and boy- did they knock my order out of the park. SO delicious!!!!! My daughter ended up receiving chocolate strawberry macarons with glitter and sprinkles in rainbow colors. It could not have been more delicious or beautiful or exactly what we hoped for. I will happily come back time and time again for their amazing treats, and their outstanding service. You are missing out if you don't try Crave.

Very nice place and the food was unique and delicious. Pretty extensive menu for a small bakery & cafe. The owner was very friendly and helpful. She showed us their restaurant they're going to open next door. I will definitely be back to check it out and recommend anyone to try her food and treats!

Okay, I actually did something I told myself I'd never do. In desperation because I was feeling crummy and was in desperate need of some hot tea to soothe my sore throat (from bad allergies) and the only coffee shop around, other than Starbucks, was Crave. I had sworn I'd never give in to going to a coffee/tea shop that charged such outrageous prices. (My wife had already been there and paid a ridiculous amount of money for a coffee $5 and biscuit $13.50.)

So, I shamefully slipped into this little coffee shop, with mouth-watering baked items tantalizing me. I was curious about the hand pies, so I ordered a peach 12" hand pie (you have two choices, 12" or 14"). The young ladies behind the counter were friendly, but obviously served very few hot tea orders in the middle of the summer. Two of them went all through their tea bags in search of my very simple English Breakfast Tea (basically black tea). My wife helped them by pointing out the correct one. I ordered two small cups of tea, extra hot, splash of milk and they were able to deliver. She also ordered a strawberry cheesecake cupcake.

When I got home we both sampled the hand pie. It was fair. Not enough filling and too much crust for me, but it does taste homemade. My wife (who is an amazing baker) said that it tasted like a box cake mix. The $14 milkshake is just crazy expensive in my opinion. I could not bring myself to spend that much for a milkshake.

In a pinch, I'd go there for a coffee or tea, but anything else isn't worth the price. Way overpriced for mediocre food and baked goods.
