Was too hungry to let my phone eat first, but I ordered the basil chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious! The honey mint iced green tea was perfect too and I enjoyed a bite of the pasta salad side my mom ordered too. Cute little place with a decent amount of seats inside. Street parking available and it was easy to find a spot on a Friday at lunch time.

Always solid lunch choice, specials are awesome and the mystery dessert with a coffee is a win!

17 dollars for a egg on a roll with home fries and a couple slices of tomatoes?? oh and an up charge for Garlic Aoili which is just mayonnaise with some seasoning added to it. Really felt cheated after eating here.

Delicious and fast breakfast! Small shop so it could get Busy fast. The home fries were really good.

This is the cutest little downtown cafe ever. I'm so glad I randomly stopped in with a friend when I did. While the dine-in service is still on hold due to COVID, the takeout experience was fast, friendly, and once I got home to eat, it was delicious. I ordered a hot coffee with lavender (my favorite) and the breakfast burrito. It didn't take too long to be prepared and once ready, they wrapped it up really tight so it would stay warm during my walk back home. The burrito was great as it was, I didn't need to add meat or anything. Lightly scrambled eggs, this amazing crispy potato cake thing, cheese, and salsa. Simple and yummy! I would order this again in a heartbeat. While this spot is currently only open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I'm so glad to see that they're still open and operating. I'll certainly be swinging by again soon.

The perfect casual breakfast spot! Delicious food, friendly service and cozy vibe. Do not miss the home fries with aioli!

I came here on a Friday a little before 9am for some breakfast. It wasn't busy, although I'm sure a lot of people come all the time for a quick breakfast or lunch throughout the day. There were two others dining in here and I saw a guy come in to grab coffee to go. I went up to the counter and ordered the burrito with a coffee. I added almond milk to my coffee which was fantastic! Great price for coffee. Seemed cheaper than Starbucks. The cup I got was the size of a grande. Lasted me a few hours. The burrito was filling! It had potatoes, eggs, pico de Gallo, and I added bacon. The potatoes still had a nice crunch to them. At a little over $8, I probably can't come often but it was a nice treat! Loved the space though! High ceilings, lots of natural light, earthy, plants all over, and lots of brown colors. Service was great! The lady greeted me with a smile! Their menu isn't extensive but I don't need a lot to impress me. They have baked goods as well and juices. Their coffee is from Thunderkiss which is a pretty good coffee, in my opinion. Can't wait to return again!

Fancy Grilled Ham and Cheese and Blueberry Goat Cheese Cookie

I never posts Yelp reviews, but this place was so good, I had to redownload the app! I ordered the Fancy Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwich and a Blueberry Goat Cheese cookie. This was probably one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. It had a perfect amount of goat cheese and caramelized onions! The toasted sourdough really elevated the sandwich!! I will definitely be back. P.S. the Honey Mint Jasmine Green Tea was fantastic as well. Cravings Cafe is 100% worth the stop.

I've passed by this place a lot before moving to downtown. This morning, after lamenting that there are very few breakfast places downtown, I remembered Cravings and now here we are, iced tea and sammie in hand. I want to say a few disclosures before we get any further -- no shade thrown at Dan the Baker. His team knows their way around a brioche no prob. Now, moving on. The food is straightforward. No frills, outside of the emphasis on locally produced ingredients, from their bread to their coffee. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. A handful of regulars came in and I enjoyed that neighborly ambiance usually reserved for the burbs or small towns. I wanted to be part of that some day. They make their own syrups and from what I can conclude, their own sauces and aioli as well. (The best places do). The BLT&E I ordered for myself came on a brioche bun from DtB. While it was gorgeous in and of itself, I don't think it's the best choice for this sandwich. Brioche is delicate and layered and buttery and all those things are wonderful! But even with the toasted top and bottom, anything placed within brioche with any amount of liquid will seep into the bread and create a soggy texture (and quickly). Also (here's the sacrilegious part) I think the bun is too much for the sandwich. The focus is all on the bread, and little space left on the palate to enjoy the inside bits. I would suggest perhaps a crunchier bread, thinner, with a bit more fortitude for sandwich making. I'm sure Dan can bake one up for you. As far as the innards are concerned l, tasty, cooked well, good proportions of tomato, greens, aioli, and bacon. Usually not big on thick cut bacon, but this is cooked well and adds excellent texture to the sandwich. The price was reasonable for the entree especially if you take into consideration paying people livable wages and the cost of local products (support local however your can!) Finally, I ordered the jasmine green tea with half the amount of honey mint syrup they put in it and it was perfect! Would honestly just go back for tea, or see if they are open to experimenting with other bread varieties.

went to try on December 8th. Yelp page said nothing about dining area closed. this is the main reason for the lower star rating and will definitely try again when dining is open. ( just not a fan of car eating ) Started with the regular Burger added bacon. The flavor was good and everything on it was fresh. As a side tried their ouse chips these are really good and was piping hot. lastly was the Cravings Club this was a better sandwich, I really liked the Shaved apple Brussels sport slaw that was on the sandwich. What really made these two sandwich stand out was the Toasted Brioche Buns it was the perfect bun to hold everything together. The hours are very limited so make sure you get there between these times Monday - Friday 7:30am-2:30 pm.

Cute place downtown in the midst of high rise work buildings. Only open for early breakfast through lunch. They have staples on their menu everyday, however, also do daily specials which are always great. And you don't want to miss on their daily baked goods either because they're top notch. Usually it's various cookies or bars available, however, on Fridays, they always have "bronuts" or brioche donuts (and sometimes brioche cinnamon rolls). So good. Sometimes it's classic flavors like cinnamon sugar or sprinkles and other weeks, it's fun flavors like blueberry. The staff is extremely friendly and nice as well.

Got the breakfast roll 2.0. Can't say it's the best roll I've had but it was certainly not bad. Felt a little too big and oily for my taste but overall it's good if you want to get a quick bite. But hey what do I know, I'm just a little pig

Cravings cafe is back and better than ever! I had the "Bronut." This might have been the best donut I have ever had. It was light and had what almost was like whip cream. My wife had the breakfast roll and all she said as she ate it was "so good!" I had the cheesesteak and loved it. Also, we had a conconut cream cold brew and would get it again. So happy they are back and even closer to us now!! A must stop for breakfast, brunch or lunch!! They even have plenty of seating this time thus the dropping of carry out from the name :) read more

For context: I Went here to work on some grading for the morning but it turns out they don't have wifi :( I understand the concept but was disappointed because I just considered that a given for coffee shops.

The sandwich is good but isn't anything off the charts "best breakfast sandwich ever" by any stretch. Their coffee is a Colombian medium roast blend that had a nice flavor profile across the palate. Reading the overly exaggerated orgasmic gyration 5-star reviews I was expecting something far more and better for $16.00 total for a cup of coffee, a very basic breakfast sandwich, and a 26% tip. If I ever come back it will be primarily for the coffee rather than the food. Good thing is that my curiosity about this place has been satisfied and I likely will choose another breakfast establishment next time I'm in the land of "The Ohio State University". Go tree nuts... read more

Brioche is back! After what seems like forever (and had to seem longer for the kind folks who run the place) Cravings is open in its new location. And while the wait has been long, it has certainly been worth it. For those who remember the Italian Village location, everything you loved about the food remains true. Most importantly, their delicious brioche rolls still enjoy a prominent place on the menu. That menu is small but excellent. I highly recommend the club, which features large pieces of well-prepared chicken. The other sandwiches also come highly recommended, although I sensed some jealousy on the part of dining companions who had bread other than the brioche. The changing specials have all been delicious as well, meaning that it's unlikely you'll tire of the place any time soon. Thankfully, the space is a bit larger than the old location. It's still not huge though. And once word spreads, I fully expect them to be bustling. So competition may be fierce for a table during rush times. Finally, they're not just sandwiches. The cookies are terrific, as one might expect from a shop that started like as Cookie Cravings. They also make donuts out of their brioche (bronuts) and while I've yet to try those, they also receive rave reviews. (In the interest of full disclosure, I may be slightly biased, as I backed their move on kickstarter. It was a no brainer for me when they were offering to share the secrets of their brioche, which, as should be obvious by now, I truly love!) read more

We checked out Cravings Cafe on a Saturday morning for breakfast. It is awesome to see something like this place open up in the downtown area. I ordered the breakfast roll and my gf ordered the burrito. We also had to get a "bronut," because they looked amazing. It seemed like the food took longer than I expected, but it made sense once we got our food. You can tell this place makes everything with a lot of care and love. The breakfast roll is good, but I wished there was a better egg to bacon ratio. I was able to steal a few bites of the burrito, and it was super good. Next time, I will go with that over the breakfast roll. The "bronut" was as good as it looked....a strong 8.1/10. I will definitely be back to try some other sandwiches and sweets. I really hope this business does well and we continue to see more locally owned restaurants and cafes pop up in the downtown area. With that said, I had one issue with our visit...we were both bothered by the smell in the cafe. There seems to be a lingering "musty/old" smell in the building. Obviously, this has to be from the fact the location was vacant, etc. I really hope they figure that issue out. Anyways, check this place out! Enjoy! read more

Ok....(deep breath)... I order the Breakfast Roll sans aioli and a side of fries. (Another deep breath)... HOLY CRAP IS THIS AWESOME! I haven't had a breakfast sandwich this delicious ever! The fries are divine (nice and subtle with the seasoning)! At first I thought it was a little high priced but nope! Worth every penny! Staff was very friendly and I was greeted at the door. Clean and serene environment. I was in and out in less than 10 min. I'm only halfway done with this sandwich but damn, it's soooo tasty! Another two bites in and I still can't get over the thick cut bacon, velvety (just dippy) egg, and that buttery brioche bun... my eyes are fall out of my head! read more

Enjoyed this more than their previous location. Bigger but still cozy. Warm, inviting and, best of all, delicious. I got the breakfast sandwich with thick cut bacon and it was delicious. A little pricey at 8 bucks but you get what you pay for. It reminded me a bit of Baba's sandwiches which is saying A LOT. I got the potatoes as a side which were tossed with seasoning and capers. Maybe just a bit more olive oil to make the capers stick more and some fresh parm would have really topped it off nicely. I also think that if the potatoes were cut thinner/smaller the other ingredients would blend better. My friend got the breakfast burrito. Then...on my way out...I got this pastry with berries and pistachio. I joked that it couldn't possibly taste as good as it looked. Well I was wrong. Yowza. read more

One of the reasons why I love working downtown is the variety of restaurants that are around. A few of my coworkers were discussing Cravings Cafe and I new I had to try it. I placed my order online (which is very convenient) and my order was ready very quickly. I ordered the Cravings club, french fries, and a iced honey mint green tea. Oh boy this lunch was so good! The brioche bun tasted like it had come out of the oven a few minutes before my order. So soft, buttery and flaky! The chicken was really moist (sorry to those that feel some type of way about that word) which I was surprised. Chicken breast can dry really easily. The french fries were fresh cut and so delicious. The tea was the perfect finisher to this meal. I would highly recommend giving them a try. I place to return to try more items! read more

Took my order immediately and got my sandwich in less than 10 minutes. No real seating directly at the stall but there is plenty of seating upstairs on the 2nd floor of the market. All sandwiches come with a bag of chips. A little on the pricy side but good portion and good quality ingredients . Check them out!

After finding out how much the owner takes care of his staff, it makes sense. There's a real pride back in their kitchen. It's the best. Yes it's expensive. It's worth it.

This pains me to write this but the food is slipping badly, today I had the Philly Wario's way and…read moreI got bland tasteless meat and cheese whiz. There was maybe 5 onions pieces the size of nickels that came pouring out of a sub that acts more of a squishy squirt gun than a sub, lately the bread is stiff and falls apart on the first bite. This sub was garbage Previously I got my favorite, the chicken caesar. The crispy chicken cutlets were so well done that they were hard to bite through and that just ripped apart the now stiff old rolls, and of course now everything is pouring out. The bread is not the same quality a year ago, in fact I saw a delivery of bread and I thought I saw everything was made in house. I'm kind of at the 1,2, strikes you're out because let's face it these aren't cheap subs and feeling ripped off while covered in your subs droppings is the worst feeling, I'm not to eager for a possible 3rd disappointment. The staff is always extremely friendly but it's an expensive sub shop, I want more than kindness.

We really wanted Frenchi's, so we drove up to this OG location. No line which is great! A nice woman was working the counter. We got our sammies and brought them home. They were as solid as always, but there's some things I have to note: Frenchi himself always made our sandwiches to perfection. Toasted, hot, perfectly made. The two times we had another employee make them, they are just different. Same ingredients, but different ratios maybe? Today my husbands Eiffel came super toasty and meats/cheese heated up in a microwave (or toaster oven maybe?) My Buckeye always used to come warm, but only if Frenchi made it. Twice now, I got barely toasted and my meat wasn't warmed at all. Also, man I loveeee the house made chipotle mayo but today was just way too much sauce. Yes, I should have spoken up about what I specifically wanted, but part of my reviews need to include things like consistency. Today was fine, but not the 5 star I've come to expect. One star off for the other location being closed and not posted anywhere. One star off for inconsistent sandwiches.

Dave's Cosmic %hit Subs... Where do you want me to start?…read more We're in town for the CBUS Blue Jackets and Door Dashed this bull %hit to our ABnB. To start, we ordered at 6:27, our Door Dasher picked up the food at 6:36, but it wasn't delivered until 8:57... Completely unacceptable. Granted the extremely late delivery wasn't the restaurant's fault (necessarily)... However, because they use Door Dash for delivery, they're ultimately responsible by proxy. Add in that the delivery driver spoke no English, tried to kick our English Staffy who ran out whilst smiling to say "hi" (if you know anything about Staffy's, you know they love people and don't have a mean bone in their body), our food was cold because it was delivered 1.5 hours late, and I was about to lose my flipping mind. Now onto the food... These were quite honestly some of the worst subs we've ever had. Subway is miles ahead of this hot garbage, and it's not remotely close. The food was $50 for two puny half filled subs, inedible coleslaw (absolutely disgusting), a pickle, and a GF cookie (that was not delivered). Now onto the really bad part... Within 30 minutes of eating this trash, both my wife and I had to run for the toilet (I'll leave it at that). Bottom line... Screw this place. PS - If I ever run into Cosmic Dave, he's going to get a piece of my mind for charging people $ for this crap.

It's a sandwich for god's sake. I ordered the chicharron sandwich which was delightful. Crispy edges on the bread, the juice from the pork and the pickled onion was a perfect marriage. The chunkiness of the pork was a bit dry and I desperately wanted more onions but it was all so good. The hot sauce was mild and added an elevated layer of heat but again, still very mild hot sauce.

First time my wife and daughter stopped before our daughter headed overseas for two years in the Peace Corps. Scotty''s is super close and convenient to the airport. Scotty learned of the imminent departure and came with cookies and treats for the long flight! And now this morning it was another airport drop off. It was my turn, dining alone but nothing about a table for one at Scotty's is lonely. The staff are immediately welcoming and every customer is every employee's charge. Four different people helped me or just checked in. The Gina breakfast combos have lots to offer for breakfast. But I was thrilled this 9:30 am to be assured the whole menu was available. I was looking for something less common and was excited to see potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce as an option. That would have been great but then the waitress (Salome maybe) said, "Do you like corned beef?" The Schmoozer is 3 enormous latkes with thinly shaved and lightly grilled corn beef on top with an over easy egg atop that. Seriously, I can declare victory for finding something I'd never had before. Never would have found it without the nudge. Had to cut myself off with all the coffee offers. Just a great vibe. You rarely see a 4.9 rating and even more rarely that high based on so many reviews. But I understand why - like in so many things in life, it is about the people. And the joy they bring to every conversation. And I will just add, in this age when some would divide us, this dining room is filled with all manner of folks, reveling together over food in fellowship.

It is St Patrick's Day so I looked for a deli with corned beef sandwiches nearby and found Katz's…read more Having lived in NYC I had high expectations for a deli with Katz in the name. Additionally, having had a Goodman's Deli mile high corned beef sandwich when I lived in Cleveland, I had even higher expectations. Their most popular sandwich is the Reuben so I went with that. Katzingers did not meet them. When I arrived to pick up my sandwich I was shocked the line wasn't out the door to place orders before they closed and the dining room had maybe 6 people in it. There were about 6 to go bags on the shelf along with mine. When I mentioned to the cashier that I was surprised it wasn't busier, she said it'll be busier tomorrow. I said the day after St Pat's? No answer. Another not good sign in my mind. When I got home, the wrapped sandwich was bigger than my hand but not very tall. The paper had areas of grease which is a good sign for this sandwich. The corned beef itself was tender but there wasn't as much of it, maybe an inch high and 1/3 of the bread had no corned beef. I also could not taste the thousand island dressing. The rye bread was toasted but pretty soggy. The crust was mostly crunchy. The bread slices were paired upside down putting a narrower side a larger side against each other. There is not enough sauerkraut and it is not very sour. I was given the choice of a dill or garlic pickle but I cannot tell you how it was because they didn't put it in the bag. I expected this sandwich to have so much meat in it, I could eat for multiple days for $18. Again, disappointed. Maybe I should've gotten the deli sized version but paying that much for a sandwich... The inside of the deli is fun and it's obvious it's been around a long time and has been well loved. I wanted to like Katzinger's but since the price and the quality don't match, I cannot.

Couple things worth noting: it's tucked inside a neighborhood bar on Indianola. Parking can be tricky but there's more around back and just down a bit closer to Savor. Inside the bar, just head to the back inside window to order. They have a menu with some notes and updates, also. Seems chicken sandwiches will be back soon which might be the thing I try next. Also, on Saturdays, you can order a pound of chicharron for $20. A bit about costs: I think it's a bit expensive. A single empanada is $5. There are price breaks for larger quantities ordered. Italian sub and double patty burgers are each $13. The Appolonia Italian is a decent size, but the buger, even with double patty, felt small. The service is super friendly! The quality of their offerings is much higher than average. Everything tasted really good, no notes. The spicy Italian is a bit spicier than I prefer with their version of a giardiniera on it, but Mr loved it. All in all, a generous 4. I'd get it again and recommend it with my notes so you know what to expect. (Sorry I forgot a pic of the burger)
