Crave Cookie Shop is a little gem nestled in Pitman that deserves some recognition! There are outdoor tables where you can sit and enjoy your treats, making it a great stop on a nice day. I've visited at least four times now, and every experience has been consistently enjoyable. On my first visit, I tried around six different cookies because I couldn't decide. This time, I picked up three. I tried the Banana Chocolate Chip for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious! I also grabbed a Dot Cookie for my son, who had zero complaints, and a classic Chocolate Chip cookie. The shop is always clean, the display case is packed with delightful options and creative flavors, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. My favorite flavors so far are the S'mores, Banana Chocolate Chip, and Reese's. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and give at least one cookie a try. They're generously sized, worth the cost, and paired with excellent customer service. Highly recommend! read more

The cookies are great. We have been buying our special occasion cookies here since they opened. However, the past two visits our cookies have been placed in the box oddly and are all broken when we open the box at home... a short 5 minute drive from the store. Still delicious but it is frustrating to see such little care taken. It is a baked good. It is delicate and I do believe looks matter with food. read more

the cookies are super big, sweet, and delicious but with a caveat. when i first bought them they were cold, hard, and honestly felt stale but i'll attribute that to the cookies being in the display cabinet all day. i microwaved them for 10 secs and they were delicious! so soft and chewy and absolutely perfect. i would recommend they heat them up in store too, i think its a perfect way to really show off how good they were read more

The cookies are always delicious BUT the hot chocolate is a different story! We got 2 different flavor hot chocolates and it was so bland, like drinking hot water. Don't get me wrong this pace is super cute and staff is always friendly and service is great. Just disappointed how the drinks are made...I wouldn't get drinks from here again. read more

Let's start with the fact that Crave is open until 9! Guess when I'm usually craving cookies? Between 7-9. That's right. Crave lives up to its name! Tonight I was coming home from visiting family and I saw Crave had posted a S'mores cookie on their IG. I decided it was my sign to finally patronize this lovely establishment. I've held out long enough, my willpower failed me and the fact that there was a parking spot right out front proved it was destiny. They were fully stocked so we grabbed one dozen assorted cookies and an OMG bar. We've only tried two so far but let me tell you, they're worth every calorie. They also have interesting flavored teas that I didn't try but I would like to get one next time. If you're not local, Crave is located in the cutest little town and it's the perfect spot to take a little stroll. read more

This is a cute cookie place in the heart of Pitman. They have a large selection of cookies and a few tables to sit and enjoy whatever you choose to purchase. We opted for the Chocolate chip oatmeal and hot cocoa. The cookies were fresh, soft and chewy. We like this place and stop by occasionally when we are in the area for a sweet treat. read more

Crave is a cute little bakery and the latest small business in Pitman, having opened in 2020. I initially stopped in for coffee but the baked goods are definitely the star of show here. The shop is small but has an outsized selection of cookies, brownies, and donuts--both regular and gluten-free varieties. There is a lot of creativity and something for everyone to like on the menu. The baked goods are complimented with an equally extensive list of coffee, espresso, and tea beverages. They are open relatively late for a bakery which is convenient. Each time I've gone, it was after 8pm. If you're "Crave-ing" something sweet, this is the place to go in Pitman. read more

Delicious cookie store. Unique flavors, huge cookies. We loved the cookies and cream and will be back.

Cute little place with bakery attached with cupcakes and cakes. My daughter is gluten intolerance and found this place near Rowan. Thank god I don't live near there, but will be back when we visit her! Price of cookies are $4-$4.50, but worth it for a treat. She loved the gluten free ones. Mine were awesome! Thought salted caramel would be sweet with icing, but was not. Ricotta omg! Butter cookie and chocolate PB sooo good! Staff was friendly. read more

This is our second time here and my boys love their chocolate chip cookies! Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. This was also the first time we had fresh out of the oven ones! To name a few we've tried: Reese cup cookie, chocolate chip cookies, sprinkle, m&m, and Reese pieces. (Granted they all have special names). Price wise, they aren't the cheapest. But all the cookies are on the larger side. So if you are comparing it to the cookie cutter "Mrs Field's" they are bigger, thicker, and wider overall. End of the day, this store has some great cookies! read more

Crave Pitman - Can you tell he enjoyed it. - Bakeries Near Me - Pitman, New Jersey

I woke up excited on my son's birthday. We had celebrated with cake on Sunday, but since it was the actual day, I decided to go to Crave in Pittman, NJ, to buy a dozen cookies. When I asked the lady if they were soft, she said "some might be". It was morning, so I'm sure they were from the night before. I noticed some freshly baked cookies on trays and requested those, but she told me they couldn't serve them yet. When I asked if they were too hot, she said no, but I have to sell the ones in the case first. She offered to microwave me the old stale cookies in the case. I explained that during my last visit, the cookies were hard, and my son prefers them soft and lighter in color--not as well done as the ones in the case. She responded with a rude attitude, saying they needed to sell the other cookies first. I asked why she was being so unpleasant, mentioning it was my son's birthday. She continued with a nasty attitude, called me "hun" (which was condescending), and then said, "This is my store, and I'm the owner, so you can leave!" I was shocked by how unprofessional and rude she was. How can an owner have no class or customer service skills? Your loss on the $60 cookie sale today! My family and friends won't be Craving your overdone cookies again! read more

Wow! Friends brought cookies and the OMG choc peanut butter bar from Crave for dessert. To die for! The best bakery desserts ever! The OMG choc peanut butter bar is SO GOOD! read more

WOW! If you have a sweet tooth - look no further. Awesome selection of cookies - very creative options. I had a butterbeer cookie, which packed a punch of sweet and salty. It was a great night cap to dinner. Affordable and delicious. Service was great. They have coffee too. read more

I stopped in one morning to order a dozen to-go. They had plenty available for a last min stop before work. They were also putting out freshly baked cookies. These are giant and thick cookies! I tried the chocolatey-chocolate chip and the red velvet. SO GOOD! This dozen was approx $35 so it is a pricey stop but definitely worth it! make sure you know how to parallel park as well ;) read more

OMG what a gluten free dessert heaven! I had Crave on my list to try for months and finally got a chance to stop in today. I was instantly impressed by the cute interior, delicious aromas, and huge selection of cookies (and pastries at their neighboring location). The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I picked the honey lavender gluten friendly cookie which is also nut free. The cookie was closer to a honey shortbread base with a nice drizzle of lavender icing. All around, beautiful and tasty cookies with lovely presentation. I can't wait to try some of their bars and other flavors next time I'm in town! read more

I had been hearing good things about this cookie store, and during my morning walk I thought I give them a try. I like the idea of a town bakery, and places like this give me warm and fuzzy feelings. They had many cookie choices. Most of the cookies were 2.75 a piece. The cookies are thick and big. Not huge, but big enough that you're not worried about the 2.75 price. While they had some brownies, they didn't have any chocolate brownies which was a little strange to me. I'm not a peanut butter brownie person, nor a blonde brownie person. I just like chocolate, and maybe some walnuts. So no brownies today. They had vegan choices, so all my veggie peeps, you may be able to get something here. I ordered a snickerdoodle, and a chocolate chip. The first thing I noticed when I took a bite out of the chocolate chip cookie, was not enough butter. I like a buttery cookie. This cookie was just okay. Also not enough salt, and something else was missing either the brown sugar or the molasses wasn't strong enough for me. A little too much flour. The chocolate chips were just okay, nothing to write home about, and not big enough either. I think this cookie would be better served with chocolate chunks instead of chips. It might bring out the taste of the cookie better. The chocolate chip cookie I would probably give a 4 1/2 out of 10. The snickerdoodle had the same problems as the chocolate chip cookie. Not enough butter, not enough salt. It's supposed to be a sugar cookie with cinnamon. The cinnamon was okay, but the sugar cookie part was just so so. The middle of the cookie was a lot better than the edges. I could taste the butter in the middle of the cookie. Also, the flour wasn't overpowering in this cookie, which was a good thing. This cookie was about a 6 1/2 out of 10. Final Verdict My feeling is when you're going for cookies, you're not looking for health. Add a little more butter, add a little more salt. Or maybe just use salted butter in the batter. A little bit more molasses in the chocolate chip cookies, and maybe change the flour. It gave them a store-bought taste. Is this a place I would go out of my way for? If I was taking a walk through pitman, and doing the shops, this would be an okay treat. If I was looking for a go-to cookie place, there are other places in the area that are a little bit better. Not to knock this place, but overall I'd give them a 6 out of 10. Don't get me wrong. They have a lot of variety and a lot of the cookies look very appetizing. But basic cookies you should be able to pull off. No chocolate brownies. The coffee was good though. read more

I'm a cookie girl... not cake, not cupcakes, a brownie here & there... but cookies all the way! With that being said, this place did not disappoint. The cookies are huge and they're chewy soft which is the best thing a cookie can be. Price didn't bother me at all, the sweet things in life are worth it. I loved the peanut butter bliss and the OMG bar... which is like a decadent version of a tasty cake candy cake. No complaints! read more

Big delicious cookies and bars! Family owned and operated. They don't skimp on quality or size. My favorite is the peanut butter cup. It's so big, I cut it into quarters. I use this bakery for gifts as well as treats for my dog and our family. read more

Delicious cookies!!! HUGE assortment of homemade goodies made with love. I opted for the classic oatmeal raisin and it was sooo tasty with the perfect amount of raisins. Hubby had the cinnabun cookie and he loved that as well. Service was great and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Definitely will be coming back. read more

If you have a sweet tooth and you are in South Jersey, this place is for you! Super friendly staff will have you ruining your diet in no time. Don't go to those franchise cookies shop. They don't compare to this local shop! read more

Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! I don't know how they make everything so good, but I don't care as long as they keep it up! There are so many varieties...they always have the tried and true ones but it seems like daily, they change it up with a few different ones. It makes it difficult to make a choice but you can't go wrong. Their gluten friendly options are amazing with my fav being the OMG bar...it truly is OMG!! Cute, friendly place with some seating if you want to sit and relax with your treat and coffee or tea. Run don't walk the next time you have a sweet craving! read more

Everything was great from the employees to the food! Very comfortable place to sit down with friends and enjoy some coffee and sweet treats!

First and last time I will buy at this store. The person who served me was nasty towards me. They say shop local, not in this case. I wonder if it was the owner who was so nasty or their employee. Either way, I do not recommend this store. The cookies are not good enough to be treated badly. read more

I am new to the area and was trying to find a bakery to get a vegan carrot cake for my grandson's birthday. Although Crave doesn't typically make whole cakes, they were so accommodating. Since they do make vegan carrot cake bars, they were willing to leave 6 bars uncut. I provided a quarter sheet board and box and they went above and beyond by writing on the cake and decorating it. My grandson loved the cake and it was enjoyed by both vegans and non-vegans at the party. Also, the price was very reasonable, especially for a vegan cake. Thanks so much! Donna S. Sewell, NJ read more

Always my go to for a quick sweet snack so good and fresh! Highly recommend the GF OMG bar!

Ordered cookies for a special event and not only were they delicious but they were beautiful too! The staff is so polite and friendly and the bakers are amazing. I will be returning! read more

Crave Bakery is absolutely a dream come true. As a Celiac patient, this bakery is a life saver. Their gluten free items are the absolute BEST that I have ever had. I've tried many. But Crave outdoes themselves every single time I go there. The flavor is phenomenal! The consistency is perfect (just like the regular goodies with gluten)! We live an hour away and are always willing to take the drive for yummy goodies. My kids always pick out the regular goodies, then I pick the gluten free goodies. The OMG bars are fantastic , my favorite! All of their stuff freezes nicely too to last even longer. And add to it, their customer service is top notch! I'm always a pain bc items need to be separated due to allergies and they never hesitate and are always helpful and sweet. This place definitely deserves 5 stars! Very rarely do you find a place that has flavor, different options and good customer service. Crave has all the above. Fantastic bakery! read more

Awesome cookies staff super friendly and nice always has something new and exciting to try. I don't like coffee that much but tried my wife's and it was really good as well. read more

Crave is awesome! I knew they had Gluten-free cookies but I went in on Saturday morning around 10:45 to see if they had Gluten-free Dairy-free cookies. They did not but Craig Pittman, the owner, was there and he said he would make it his "project". He took my name and number. I didn't expect a call for a few days. 2 hrs later he called and said he came up with a recipe and the cookies would be ready in an hour if I wanted them. I went to pick them up and they were absolutely delicious! All of our guests that day loved them! Craig and his staff were all so friendly and helpful. if you ever get a chance to stop in you will be happy you did! read more
