Crave Cafe has been around for a while now I remember going way back during my college days. I visited recently and it was nice to see the place still had good business. I went on a Monday night and it was packed with people but the service was still quick. There were a lot of people with laptops studying or doing work so the ambiance is good enough to work here. They are also 24hrs so you can come any time for a meal or study time. I love the display of pastries they have they look really good and were hard to resist so I got one! I got the creme brulee and it was really yummy! My only complaint was that the bathroom couldve been cleaner, and the parking in the back smelled bad but I understand that the smell in the back isnt too much to their control considering the dumpster and perhaps homeless people. Overall a great cafe to visit in the valley!

Tuna panini's are delicious!
Michele O.

We had delicious tuna panini's! We ordered at the register and the gentleman was kind and helpful. There is a fantastic dessert selection at the front and I couldn't help but get a "Moise" chocolate cake to go. Their cake serving was HUGE! The atmosphere was laid back, nice for a short lunch. We did wait a while till we were served our sandwiches. Nice little stop with a great selection of entrees and desserts.

My family stopped by this location after a doctor's appointment. As soon as I walked in, I noticed that they were open 24 hours and they had an extensive menu. I ordered the two egg breakfast with sourdough toast and a Americano. My daughter ordered a breakfast burrito, and my husband ordered oatmeal. We were all extremely happy with our meals. Not one complaint. My eggs were creamy, soft, and fluffy, and the hash browns were crisp, and golden brown with a tender center. My daughter described her burrito as simply delicious with the green salsa. Also, for a more indulgent meal, you can always add a sweet treat. The dazzling array of baked goods were too good to pass up. My daughter had to try the Dubai Chocolate Chip Cookie. It was delicious! Service was top notch. I will definitely visit this place in the future.

My family and I were first-time visitors to this restaurant. We'd driven by here dozens of times, but we decided to stop for breakfast. Not knowing what to expect, we were pleasantly surprised by how nice and large the restaurant was the minute we stepped inside. It was extremely clean, well maintained, well organized, and inviting. Two employees immediately welcomed us. Amazing-looking pastries and cookies were on display in enclosed glass cases. The huge menu options were clearly posted on the menu board hanging on the wall behind the counter, and the aroma of delicious food being cooked and prepared filled the air. Employee Carolina took our order at the counter. Carolina was extremely friendly, outgoing, hardworking, and answered each of our questions regarding a couple of the items on the menu. My family and I ordered a 2-egg breakfast with turkey bacon, hash browns, and sourdough; steel-cut oats with banana; a turkey bacon panini; and a Dubai chocolate cookie. We also ordered a few pastries to go. I can honestly share that our food was DELICIOUS!! Each item was flavorful, seasoned perfectly, and filling. We were very happy with our breakfast. Carolina and our young waiter provided top-notch service. You two were AMAZING!! This restaurant is open 24/7, and according to employee Carolina, they only close on Thanksgiving and Christmas Metered street parking is available on Ventura Blvd. Thank you, Crave Cafe, for a very positive dining experience.

I have been here 3 times in the past and surprisingly didn't do a review on them. Well, there is a first time for everything. So here it goes. My friend had an early flight to catch, and we wanted to eat together before she took off to Burbank airport. We walked in on the 22nd of this month at exactly 7:35am, and were nicely greeted by Brian and another employee by the name of Carolina. Both were very nice, and somewhat helpful. Checked on us few times. You order at the counter, they give you a number and you get to choose whether or not you want to sit inside or outside. We chose to sit inside since it was still a little cold to sit outside. Place was very clean, and for it being open 24/7, there was no one inside the restaurant. It's a nice size restaurant along with another restaurant that sells sushi. Right inside/adjacent, separated by a wall. Unfortunately, it was closed due to renovation. Too bad, I wanted to get some sushi for later on. Brian, being a young, new employee took our order and needed some help from Carolina. He was working there for less than 5 months. We ordered a few things from their super extensive menu that practically has everything from A to Z. Not going to get too much into details, took a lot of pictures and you can see them for yourself. Got their Garden Omelette with: broccoli, green/yellow zucchini, tomato, Mozzarella cheese, sautéed mushrooms, comes with salad and I had asked for Ranch dressing, but they still put their Vinaigrette dressing which I don't like. (people don't listen well). I also asked for the Turkey bacon that it came with to be extra crispy. It was less than cooked, let alone crispy. Sent the plate back TWICE and still, bacon didn't come to our table crispy. Food was really fresh and delicious. Somewhat hot too. We also got their Crave Benedict, asked for the eggs to be over medium, and it came with poached eggs. Sides were Hash Browns and we asked for sautéed spinach instead of both-- the bacon and the ham. At this point, I was exhausted to correct their mistakes, and very hungry. Asked for the Hollandaise sauce to be on the side, and they didn't even bring the sauce. It also came with side of fruit. Sliced Oranges and Strawberries. Very fresh fruit. Eventually got the Spinach, but it was steamed. Not to forget to mention the Sourdough bread was way overly toasted. I also got their large hot Lavender Latte with Oat milk, made to perfection! Nice and hot. She stayed with water. As we were about to leave, I told Carolina to take the Benedict back, which was not even touched, She asked me "what's wrong with it"? I replied "EVERYTHING"! Instead, I ordered their Turkey Panini Sandwich with: lettuce, tomato, Mozzarella cheese, sprouts, with a touch of Pesto spread that also came with salad. It was just swapping the food. So there was only a $2.00 difference. It has 3 gender neutral restrooms. Used them twice and they were super clean. Has street parking and few spots in the back of the Cafe. It was all taped up with yellow tape, like some kind of a crime scene was happening. This place is overly rated. Not like the Crave Cafe in Studio City. That's all for now. Prices were affordable for the portions of their food.

Tried this spot for the first time before grabbing some Gelato next door!! Parking again is not great along Ventura. Basically all metered parking unless you park in some kind of shopping center and just walking over. High ceilings and huge menu!! Lots of seating and even some outside. You walk in and order your food up front, they give you a number for your table and you can sit anywhere. My bf got the strawberry cream cheese crepe, I got a medium iced hazelnut latte, and their chicken and waffles. The lady asked if I wanted wings or tenders for my waffles and I went for the tenders for once. I usually prefer wings but didn't want to deal with the mess at the time. We sat at our table and food came out pretty quickly. The young man gave us our food and asked if we needed anything else and yes actually, we did. My chicken and waffles didn't come with butter or syrup so I obviously had to ask for it which he had in his pocket anyway and gave it to me? It was weird, I'm sure he just forgot but still.. my chicken and waffles were bare lol! The chicken tenders had the texture of nuggets so that threw me off a little but I liked it! Wasn't your usual tenders and more like big nuggies haha. My bf's "utensils" didn't come with a fork, just a knife but it was also all wrapped nicely so that was weird. The waiter brought him a new one and asked if we needed anything else before taking our number. I said no and he got out of there real fast and I forgot I didn't even get my drink yet. I had to get up and run after him to ask for my drink. Overall the service wasn't great but the food was delish and I would definitely still come back to try their other food!! IG: @ammysalamii

Turkey The Club Sandwich

Crave Café is easily one of my absolute favorite spots! I've been coming here for a while now, and it never fails to impress. If you come here, you have to try the California Crave Burger. Think of it as an upgraded, massive version of In-N-Out--juicy beef, American cheese, classic thousand island sauce, fresh tomatoes, and lettuce. The burgers are huge and extremely filling; I usually cut mine in half and save the rest for the next day because the portions are so generous. Pro-tip: add avocado and extra grilled onions, and definitely ask for extra sauce on the side! Pair it with their incredible fries, and you're set. Beyond the burgers, their menu is stacked with delicious options made fresh--from crêpes, pancake sandwiches, and breakfast burritos to scratch-made salads, daily baked cookies, pastries, smoothies, and pizza. The atmosphere is great, too. You can sit inside for a cozy café vibe or sit outside to people-watch along busy Ventura Boulevard. To top it all off, the service is always super friendly and kind. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a full meal, this place is 100% worth checking out. Highly recommend~~~

*Updated review 12 years and 2 kids later* I used to come here over a decade ago when this place was 24 hours or closed extremely late (I can't remember. Probably faded at the time) and we would come in after clubbing or attending rap battles a few stores down at the record shop. Now Crave has turned into my 6 year olds favorite breakfast spot before dropping him off at school (wow have times changed!). It's located a few blocks from his school so we stop in a little after they open and I let him go crazy on the menu and order whatever he wants. Every time time we arrive, the lady who takes our order is so patient with my son as he tries to figure out what he wants and she asked him normal questions about his order and I just get a kick out of their interactions. The place is usually empty and very clean. They are actually still cleaning up a few things when we arrive, while setting up a few things on the patio. We enjoy sitting on their comfy couches in the corner and if it's nice outside, the patio is a great option (although you are on the corner of Van Nuys Blvd and Ventura Blvd intersection during traffic so there is a lot of honking going on). The food is still great and we've ordered a lot of items on the menu. We've had everything from breakfast burritos, French toast, salmon, to fish tacos, and yogurt parfaits. We honestly haven't had a bad meal yet. They also make smoothies which I haven't had the chance to try yet and it seems like they can honestly make anything you ask them for. They have an assortment of pastries, cookies, and cakes and they have a wide variety of drinks such as smoothies, Italian sodas, milkshakes, boba coffee and tea. Don't even get me started on their lunch options. This is a great place to come to if you have come with a small or large group of people and you need a variety of options to please everyone. This is still a 5 Afro establishment to me, and we will keep coming back to try more food and drinks. OOOOO 5 out of 5 Afros

This place is a great place to satisfy cravings, their menu has a lil of everything. Orange juice tasted like the tropical orange juice, the flat bread was very simple can't go wrong with it, and they had great selection of teas, the raspberry pomegranate was very refreshing!

Chicken Pesto Panini & Iced Matcha Latte
Parker G.

One of my go-to's for hangout spots in the LA/Valley area! Crave Cafe always delivers in just about every aspect - it's solid on food, service, comfort, and vibes. I love places like this, where it doesn't necessarily get all the attention on social media regularly, but it oftentimes is the BEST spot overall for getting exactly what you need out of a food spot/hangout location. You order at the counter, but they serve you at your table afterwards, and everyone is always so friendly and accommodating. I particularly love the sandwiches here, especially the Chicken Pesto Panini. Toasty & delicious, just as it should be! I also love that it comes with a refreshing and healthy side salad. The WiFi is on point, the vibes are chill and comfy, the food hits, and the service is great. What more could you need?! I love Crave Cafe.

Strawberry and Banana crepes
Peter X.

I stopped by here this morning to pick up crepes for my wife. I placed my order online and put in the notes to put the Nutella and powder sugar on the side. If you never been here then just know it's street parking only. I always park across the street in a plaza with other stores and then just walk to this place. There are other parking garage nearby but I don't know if you have to pay now to park there. I arrived early and checked in with the lady at the counter. She said they were still working on it but it will be ready soon. Make sure to check your food is made the way you request it before you leave because I didn't and when I got home, I saw the Nutella and powder sugar was not on the side. It's not the end of the world but I would've hope they made it in the way i requested it because my wife doesn't like a lot of toppings on it. This place has a decent amount of seating inside and only like 4 tables outside. It's a great place with a lot of options on food or drink or just dessert. The bathroom is toward the back of the place.

It was open at 3AM. We ordered hamburger and chicken sandwich. In total it was just fine.

I've been coming here for over a decade, and Crave is still a great go-to spot for a late-night dessert and coffee. Walked over after dinner and got the Nutella crepe and a latte -- perfection. The menu is huge, but I'm usually just here for dessert. You place your order at the counter and grab a seat, and there's usually plenty of seating. The staff bringing out the food are always in great spirits and genuinely kind, which really adds to the experience. Super chill vibes all around -- always a great stop!

Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry. There's plenty of shade, though the area is mostly outdoors- lots of trees and buildings with covers and awnings.
