    Really solid sandwiches + amazing housemade sauces + super crispy loaded fries. Tried 3 sandwiches but my favorite would probably be the Pikachu, which was grilled chicken, honey mustard, siracha, avocado, their addicting crave sauce, lettuce & tomato. One thing about this spots sandwiches is they DO NOT skimp! I am full from like half the sandwich. Also tried the steak storm fries available weekends only as well as their spider-man fries (basically buffalo fried chicken and ranch on top of fries. Both were solid, especially if your like your fries super crispy (but I like mine softer in the middle). The spider man fries were definitely saucier and full of buffalo sauce which I enjoyed more than the lighter-flavored steak storm fries. Really nice and attentive workers! Pretty busy when we went on a Sunday around 2:30PM. There's minimal seating and you might need to take your food to-go when it's super busy. Water, napkins, etc r mostly self-serve. The place has lots of comics on the wall so it was a cool theme!

    Very good sandwich, very good customer service. I loved the names of the food dishes in the menu and the art on the wall. The bathroom was the deal breaker for me. Both toilets had urine all over the toilet seats. I let the staff know and they said they would take care of it. They could have been short staffed, im not sure but all of the staff was friendly and always doing something. The food was fantastic. I do recommend, just was disappointed about the bathroom in the moment, cause I had to go. Not their problem. I still recommend them.

    First time trying Crave Subs in downtown Berkeley and it was an amazing experience! The sandwiches are top-tier--super fresh, flavorful, and the portions are great. I also love that they have an ice cream place right there; it's the perfect way to end the meal. ​The staff was incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. If you're in Berkeley, you definitely need to check this place out. 10/10!

    Great spot for a good sandwich in Berkeley, especially for vegetarians. Service was quick, and has a casual ambience that's great for a quick bite to eat!

    Amazing sandwich shop! Love the comic book theme and names of the sandwiches. These are the types of subs you wanna get when you have the munchies. Definitely all hitters. Fries are saucy and seasoned, and sandwiches are packed with meat! Definitely recommend

    Excellent sandwich which was perfectly portioned for one person. It was filling. Service was prompt and kind. Will return in the future.

    Crave Subs honestly feels like the perfect spot for students. Their sandwiches are unreal. Super thick, loaded, and actually filling. There are so many options too, whether you're vegetarian or a meat lover, and everything is halal, which is a huge plus. They also have loaded fries, which just makes the whole menu even better. I love that everything is themed and the inside has so much personality. There's a whole wall covered in cartoon art, which makes the space fun and unique, and it's genuinely a nice place to sit and eat. They also recently started sharing a location with Sweet Spot, where they serve crêpes and gelato style ice cream, which is such a win. I genuinely love Crave Subs. It really feels like one of the best sandwich spots in Berkeley and always hits

    The subs here are unbeatable. They have many layers of different flavors and textures, all combined to be one huge sub to bite into; in my sandwiches, the meat, cheese, sauce, and toppings were incredible. They are some of the most satisfying sandwiches I've ever eaten. Try the Patrick Star. It's a fried chicken sub taken to the next level with the signature Crave sauce and the wonderful bread that Crave Subs offers. It's so packed with fillings, it's practically exploding. And that fried chicken has just the right bite to it. Then try the Buzzlightyear for the best turkey, pesto, and bread combination you might ever witness. It's also overflowing with filling and has got a bright and savory flavor that you'll enjoy. And don't overlook the Pikachu. It's a grilled chicken sub with an enticing bit of spice. Like the others, it requires big mouthfuls and a bit of determination to eat neatly, but it's so worth it. They also have sides, salads, and loaded fries. The loaded fries are to die for and are just as attractive as the subs! The delicious curly fries come coated in meat, cheese, and sauce, to make the most alluring combination of flavor and texture. Try the Wolverine or Goku Black fries! They can accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan requests. The environment here is comic-book themed and so much fun! I love the cute, comic-book and cartoon themed titles and the way the shop takes on a retro, funky personality with all the comic book/cartoon/pop-culture decorations. You can order and pay with a kiosk, making your encounters with the staff rather brief if you like, but the staff is available to help and very friendly. They do nothing to prevent you from fully enjoying the restaurant and the incredible subs. The subs and loaded fires are moderately priced, but in my opinion, I more than get my money's worth each time because the food and eating experience are absolutely fantastic! They have a kids' menu, making it a perfect place to bring young ones or just come and feel young again yourself!

    I love the interior and comic book theme of the restaurant! Upon entering you are immediately greeted at the register where you can also find a whole tray of delicious cookies. I ordered on Snackpass, so luckily I did not need to wait long for my sandwich. I also appreciate the complementary lollipop that comes w/ each order. * Grogu - 8.5/10 (the portion size of the sandwiches here are very generous & i love the dutch crunch bread. i like how the cheese is melted onto the pesto, & that combined w/ the crave sauce really elevates the taste of the sub. my only complaint is that the chicken had good flavor, but it was a bit dry)

    We just stumbled across this place while visiting Berkeley. Stopped in for lunch. Got a medium sub. There were a lot of choices. I didn't realize how thick the subs were could've went with a 4 inch added a bag of chips and a drink. The service was very good. They were very nice when we got in thereand answered questions about the menu.

    Crave was my favorite sandwich spot in college and it holds up! It's definitely on the pricier side, but the sandwiches are so flavorful and loaded up with filling. I always get the Shaggy, which is turkey based. The dutch crunch bread here is some of the best I've ever had too. Looking forward to the next time I'm in Berkeley so I can grab another sandwich!!

    I love that this place is halal since I don't eat pork. I tried a sandwich with beef bacon, and it was really good! The Crave sauce is amazing. My son said it was the best turkey sandwich he's ever had. The staff was also really nice. Also, love the mural!

    Chicken tenders

    I would like to shout out the manager at crave. He reached out and refunded my order and gave me credits for next time. I will try a sandwich next time I stop by.

    Menu at the front counter. Enjoy the comic books on the wall for sale.

    See all

    A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

It came with theee sauces and of course the garlic aioli won (next to the romanesco and I think chimichurri?). I wasn't crazy about those last two but that garlic aioli was to dieeee for. The service was amazing and fast and honestly the store was so cute that I kept picking things up to add to my order. I couldn't have been more pleased with this place and will absolutely come back.

If you don't get the tuna melt or the pesto chicken with a side of their pasta salad, you're doing life wrong. Also, treat yourself to one of the cannolis - you won't regret it. For your ambience, sit outside. It's seriously so cute and lovely back there and you'll be surprised how little of the busy street you hear. It's seriously like stepping into someone's backyard for some of the best food you've ever had.

    I've been here twice, so I'm surprised I haven't posted a review yet. The food is really good!…read more Parking in the area can be tough, but I've lucked out with finding a spot across the street both times, though I did have to drive around a bit on my first visit. I like that they have a patio area, but it's been full each time I've been, so I haven't had a chance to sit outside. The staff is kind, though they tend to be a bit slow when taking orders at the front. I guess it's nice that they don't rush things, but it can be a bit frustrating when the line is long and they're chatting with each person ordering, which feels like forever. However, once you sit down, the food is delivered quickly. During my first visit, I ordered the Lobster Roll with fries, a donut to-go, and we shared an order of Fried Mozzarella Sticks. The donut was very mild; I've had way better vegan donuts, so I wouldn't get one again. I thought the lobster roll was good, but not great. It did not remind me of a lobster roll at all and was too acidic in my opinion, so I wouldn't get that again either. I loved the mozzarella sticks, though. As a vegan, that typically dislikes vegan cheese, they were a hit. My non-vegan best friend loved them too! During my second visit, I ordered a Jalapeño Business sandwich with potato salad, rocky road to-go, and mozzarella sticks to share since I loved them so much the first time. My friend got a Buffalo Ranch Fried Chicken sandwich, and we decided to swap halves to try more things. I love spicy food, so if I had to choose a favorite, I'd pick my sandwich over hers, but both sandwiches were fantastic! The potato salad was good, but kind of bland for my taste. The rocky road was so yummy, and like last time, the mozzarella sticks did not disappoint. I love supporting fully vegan restaurants and will definitely go back to try more items on the menu. Maybe brunch next time I'm in the area? Not sure, but I highly recommend dropping by. Whether you're vegan or not, they have something tasty for everyone. In fact, each time I've gone, it's been with non-vegan friends, and they all say they'd eat here again.
