Delicious fresh Thai food with a drive up window for take out! Their mild was still pretty spicy to me!

Very nice folks and clean inside. Unfortunately the pungent smell of cooking oil permeated everything (air/food/clothes/hair) and was unbearable. I ordered something to go, and after 5 minutes had to go sit outside because the smell was making me sick. The dinner I ordered had a terrible oil after taste. Maybe ate 1/2 and had to dispose of it. Recommend this place use a healthier oil and a lot less of it. read more

Ohhhh.....man! I was seriously sooo excited in regards to deviating from my (very healthy & delicious) pre-planned Paleo meals that I have (mostly) been sticking to these last couple of weeks while here in Cleveland. Time for an overdue overdue treat, -psych! Green chicken (very diluted/watery) curry, -which came HIGHLY recommended to me moments before ordering, a couple of shrimp spring rolls that were 80%+ iceberg lettuce (ughhh!) and of course my usual fave : although a good consistency, my taro slushie with Boba was light gray in color compared to the usual dark purplish gray color that pops with flavor, leave you wanting more, etc. etc. -but this one tasted sugar-free or something it shouldn't be. So unfortunate. :( But I gotta give some credit here and say that the peanut sauce that came with the spring rolls was on hit and the winner of this meal all on it's own. And I did in fact take a couple of lil sips out of the tiny plastic container it came in all on and I must admit. Give me a pint, please! De-lish!! So, excluding the peanut sauce, ALL three items lacked any kind of significant flavor and just left me disappointed. Had I dined in, I just may have had the nerve to send my items back. And I cringe as I say this and share this experience because who knows??... -Maybe I just had the unfortunate luck to order the three most bland items on their rather large menu. Oh yeah, and $32- later. On another positive note (along with the p-nut sauce) I must give credit to the ambience/inside mostly purple decor, the mouth watering aromas coming from the fresh pastries & ground coffee beans, the great customer service and the location. And they even have little live music shindigs on the weekends, I believe. I had such high hopes for their Thai cuisine. On the flip side, Cravings Cafe offers an impressive and enticing wide array of coffee, coffee beans for purchase, chocolates, pastries, cookies and more and I'm thinking I couldn't have gone wrong had I gone that route with the java and sweets. No such luck. I'm still hungry with plenty of leftovers. read more

The Thai food is just awful and overpriced - head over to Lakewood to Thai Kitchen or Thai Thai and you'll have cheaper prices and much better food. Summer rolls had ultra thick wrappers that were too chewy to easily break apart (as someone who has made summer rolls before, you pick the thick wrappers if you aren't skilled enough to not break it while rolling it). Pad thai was sickeningly tomato-y and the sauce was way too thick at the bottom, I didn't even finish it. I can probably still count using my fingers the times I didn't finish food at a restaurant in my life - add this to the list. And the beef was so dry and tough. The laab tasted mostly like fish sauce and the meat didn't come across as high quality. It was alright though, the most edible thing out of the three. I can't believe I paid nearly $40 for this mess via takeout. #1 Pho's summer rolls are far better and only $5 instead of $8 here. Pad Thai is an absolutely insane $16 for even just chicken and Laab is $13. read more

Really enjoyed the HUGE portions oc Pad Kee Mao and Thai Money Bags. Love how they took the time to tie each money bag. The meatball was sweet. Great value. read more

Love their bubble teas, the Panang curry dish is excellent, perfect spicy. Definitely trying more dishes in the near future

Casual atmosphere, great food. The service was great - friendly and attentive. The calamari has a great breading. Full bar. Meals were very good and large portions so you can get 2 meals out of an order. Very spicy so pay attention to the scale. Medium is pretty hot. I'd say the Noddles have more spice than the curry at a medium level. They have coffee / tea as well. read more

Always delicious and friendly service. We always Order the coconut bubble tea and the spring rolls.

Yoooooooo, their red curry is the absolute truth. I get it a lot, and it rules. I have a couple friends that live near the restaurant, and sometimes I'll just drop by unannounced with red curries in hand and save dinner like a total champion. read more

Will not visit again. I ordered green curry beef ($15+) with extra Tofu (+$1.5). I can't believe there were totally only 4 tiny pieces of beef in the small bowl. The beef was so chewy that the only way to eat it was to swallow it. read more

Nice Thai place in rocky river with both indoor and outside seating. The exhaust is very poor if you sit inside. The service is efficient. Prices are reasonable. The taro iced tea was tasty and rich. The red curry had perfect spice for the kids and they enjoyed it. The basil fried rice with veggies was scrumptious, not as spicy but the provided spicy dip/sauce was so awesome. The haw mok with tofu was another dish comes in a banana plantain leaf and was yummy. Lot of options and they have a bar and the margarita was good. read more

Wow! It had been years since the last time I was here when it was a mere coffee shop. I first came back to cravings a few weeks ago in a friends recommendation. The Food rivals the coffee for excellence. The coffee is extremely flavorful (try it before adding creme or sugar). The first dish I order was the jungle curry. PLEASE listen to the warnings about the 1-10 spicy level on this dish! Ive laughed at these warnings my whole life but a 7 on the jungle curry was my match. The food was amazing regardless of me burning my taste buds on spice . My second time back for food (I had been back for coffee one morning which was very good) I had the red curry. I ordered it at a 5 spicy and it was much more enjoyable. I'm going to have to make this a weekly meal. The staff and customers are all w trendily friendly. I'd recommend trying Cravings any day! *UPDATE* I LOVE CRAVINGS! I eat here at least once a week now. Everything is always super fresh and flavorful. Every member of the staff is extremely kind. I can't get enough :-) read more

Exquisite Thai dining. The flavors are full and robust and the ingredients are top quality. I LOVE the tom ka soup, masaman curry, and pad Thai. All their dishes are great but those are my faves!! I'm predominantly vegan, and they make it super easy to order a vegan meal or even gluten free. The drive through is a great and convenient way to pick up your food!! read more

I was on the hunt for some good boba tea & stumbled upon this place on my search online. I got the taro boba tea..it's the best boba tea that I've had in Cleveland. It wasn't too sweet, had a great flavor, & you get a decent size for the price. I also ordered the chicken pad thai, veggie spring rolls, & beef fried rice. The pad thai was delicious! The chicken was too pale for my liking so, I didn't eat it. You get a nice portion for $12. I wasn't a huge fan of the fried rice...Thai fried rice is different than Chinese fried rice. The veggie spring rolls were really tasty & had a nice kick from the black pepper. What's neat about this place, they have a drive thru so, you can pick your order without getting out of your car. read more

Very cute place. I appriciated the color purple, fresh flowers, and overall atmosohere. I ordered the massaman curry with tofu. The broth was very good, but my only two complaints were 1. Very minimal ingredients. This particular dish had tofu, peanuts, potato and onion. And other than peanuts, there wasn't much substance in this dish. Lots of sauce left over, which I will add to my own veggies. 2. The price ($12.00+) for a mere vegetable and rice dish, lacking in the ingredients mentioned above, was simply too much. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I didn't expect much, because it's kind of small and casual inside, but very clean. I was super surprised by how great the food is! They aren't wimpy with the heat, so if you can't take it, let them know, and they will adjust it. It's not fast-food cheap, but very reasonable for the quality of fresh seafood, meat, and vegetables that you will be eating. Very authentic, fresh, and has a great menu! Highly recommended! read more

First time here and the staff was friendly. The environment was welcoming!! The location is easy to miss if you wanted to just randomly pick a restaurant. We ordered the Tom Ka Gai soup. Not sure if this was the authentic way of flavors because it was so sweet in taste almost like a desert. It taste different everywhere. We preferred it to have a more of a lime flavor with a mix of the coconut milk. We also ordered the papaya salad which had flavors of the burning Thai chilie peppers! Last but not least the Pad see ew!! It was delicious and flavorful. We love to support the locals... The serving size was worth the price. We may come back and try other dishes in the future. read more

Great spot! Delicious and if you like spicy they know to do it here! I had the Thai fried rice, money bags, ginger pad king, Thai spicy nugget, fried noodle with chicken. All were very excellent! I would only say the ginger dish was a little greasy but still good. Thai spicy nugget is a must!! read more

This place sure satisfied my cravings! I got the opportunity to eat food from here when a friend of mine ordered it for a large group of people. We ordered a couple of the pad Thai's, some stir fried mixed vegetables with chicken, Thai fried rice, and spring rolls. Everything was absolutely fantastic. My dish of choice was the mixed vegetables with chicken since I do not eat rice and noodles. My meal was so flavorful for something so simple, which is usually hard to find when I eat out. As an east sider, I wish this restaurant was closer to me, because then I'd be ordering from here all of the time. read more

Atmosphere: I loved the feel of this coffee shop/Thai restaurant. The patio was simple but pleasant, with umbrellas shading some tables from the sun. The interior felt exotic and interesting, with purple being the dominant color. I choose to sit outside, but I definitely would like to eat in the dining room in the future. Service: I think we had three people, maybe four wait on us. Who we got to see was very random, but everyone was friendly and accommodating. I did wait awhile to get a to go box, but luckily I wasn't in a hurry. Food: I ordered my favorite Thai dish, pad see ew. My food was good, and I did order it at a zero, but it could have used a little more flavor in the sauce, just in comparison to other restaurant where I've ordered the same dish. Other than that, I enjoyed it, and it was beautifully presented. read more

Thai Cravings - Pad See Ew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Came here for dinner. They appear to have a nice selection of coffee and teas. The Thai Tea I ordered was served with boba and quite nice. I had the Money Bags appetizer which was also very good and I would recommend it to anyone who likes deep fried wonton and Thai sausage. I also really enjoyed the Tom Kha soup, the flavors had a nice balance. The Massaman Curry was okay, I prefer it with a thicker consistency and richer flavor. Someone else I was with was trying it for the first time and they really liked it. The Laab was good but again, the flavor was not very pronounced. In my opinion the prices were not the best considering what we got. We paid $60-$70 for three people and the serving sizes/flavor didn't match the price for me personally. This place may be good for some people but it's not really for me. read more

Thai Cravings - Pad Thai with chicken - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rocky River, Ohio

Extremely disappointed!!!! My husband and I have been to Cravings many times and food was always good however take out was always somewhat not that great. Last night we ordered our usual, red curry with chicken (3) , pad Thai with chicken (3), spicy mama soup and spring rolls. The pad Thai was taste less as if they forgot to put any sauce or spice in it and the curry was watered down and lacked taste and chicken. When I called to complain, I was put on hold and than was told that they did put the right amount of chicken. No apology whatsoever. The food used to be great but the quality is not there anymore. So disappointing!!!! read more

Never had a bad meal from here. Love this place. No one can compete with the flavors in their Tom Kha soup and curry!

My friend gets tea at the drive through menu and I was drawn in by the amazing scent of authentic smelling Thai food. I loved the Pad Kee Mao. I got a 3-4 spicy and it was pretty hot. I don't usually like vegetables but I looooved them in this dish because of all the flavors. Good spring rolls, my sister liked the summer rolls too. My boyfriend got the Thai Style Fried Rice. It was really good and spicy. We both loved it! It's a really small place, but decorated very cute--the walls and curtains are purple and it truly gives off that traditional Thai vibe. Can't wait to go back again! Amazing place. read more

I've driven past this place a lot and always wondered about it, today my boyfriend and I stopped for lunch because this is his fave type of food and we were celebrating my birthday !Everything we ordered was amazing and I honestly have nothing bad to say about the food. They are even having a 25$ margarita pitcher deal right now so I think I'll be back lol. It may be a tiny more pricey but not by much, it's a small local place so I don't have a problem supporting! The service was very nice, sweet and quick too, which is always a plus. read more

It's a wonderful Thai restaurant with noodles, curry, bubble tea and much more. The pad Thai was delicious and plentiful. The spice for all the dishes is a 1-10 scale, but even the four was very spicy, so watch out. The staff was attentive and friendly. They had many food and drink options including a few beer and wine selections. My tofu pad Thai was about 13 dollars, but it could last someone two full servings. They also don't hold back on the peanuts! read more

Authentic thai food, good coffee and tea. The place used to be strictly coffee and tea, but a couple months ago they brought on a chef. I used to get coffee from here all the time because it was on my way to work. As far as the food goes it was pretty good. We got pad thai and pad see ew which was very fresh and delicious. We also split a shrimp wanton soup, and it was quite tasty as well. I love what they did with the atmosphere and the interior. It looks very cozy and inviting! We will definitely be coming back for both coffee and food! read more

This is flat out just a great Thai restaurant. I usually get their curry and the tom yum soup which are both very good and authentic. The bubble tea is good too, I like that it's not artificial tasting and not too sweet. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the price. The average price for Thai curry in the area is around 7-9 dollars, while Cravings Cafe's curry is around 13-17 dollars. read more

So far so good! Friendly staff, good coffee, well lit, which isn't my preference, but may be for others, and good ambiance. Local artist work is displayed, which is cool. There's also free wifi! That's expected... Don't be mistaken, though, this is a coffee house, not a cafe! read more

I never give a resurant five stars on my first visit but I was tempted to do so for this place. The place was really clean and I felt welcome. I ordered my usual first tiai thia meal pad Thai and Tom Yan soup. Some of the best I ever had. My server was excellent, polite, attentive and knowledgeable.without being overbearing. I was so impressed that I immediately made a reservation for my wife and two of our friends for the next Saturday night. read more

This place is just okay if you need a quick Thai fix. However, it's not the best. I've tried their pad thai and was quite disappointed. It may have been an off day for them as I was their first customer on a Sat morning. The pad thai was very bland. The guy at the drive-thru asked how spicy I wanted it, I said level 2 and asked for extra chili sauce on the side. Little did I know, I was charged an extra $0.75 for the chili sauce and he forgot to put it in my to-go bag. Their curry is really and decent, and it'd be the only dish I'd try again. However, this place has really good Thai iced tea. There are times I'd come here just to get the Thai iced tea. Overall, I'd try the curry again, but will skip all of the noodle dishes. read more

Under new management since the start of this year. Came in on a Sunday and found the place pretty much empty. They have the typical coffee drink selection, quite a bit of baked goods, a small breakfast and lunch menu, and free wifi. I got a coffee and a cookie (came to $3.65 total). They also have a drive-thru and a patio area that faces the street. Quiet classical music radio station on inside, which was nice. Wifi was fast and the atmosphere was comfortable. The cookies are made there, and the oatmeal one I had was exceptional. Coffee was also pretty good. Not sure of the refill price because the barista just gave it to me. The lunch consists of mostly Mediterranean items, including homemade falafel and tabbouleh. They apparently have a Lebanese chef there at times. None was available when I was there, but they were also pretty slow. I really enjoyed the cookie. Very nice staff. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

We literally live down the street, and drive by here at least once daily. Finally tried it tonight, as we were in the mood to go out, and could not agree on anything. This was lucky! The place is tiny, and eclectic. I love purple, so the walls made me happy. It seems to be part coffee/tea house, and part restaurant. Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. She offered suggestions, and answered questions. I asked a lot of questions. The menu is large, and has good descriptions. I've been to other Thai places that were yummy, but this seemed a bit more authentic. I had a lovely iced tea, which was a nice blend of green and black teas. Refreshing and wonderful. I need to do that at home when I make tea. I purposely tried things I've never heard of and I was pleased with both choices. I started with a cup (big cup!) of soup. It was Tom Kha Gai, which is a coconut milk soup with chicken (or shrimp), lemongrass, baby corn, mushrooms, and carrots. I cannot fully explain all the flavors happening in that cup of soup. It was creamy, but not heavy. Each spoonful popped with different flavor, and they all complemented each other perfectly. I want that soup again, soon. My main course was from the specials menu, and had shrimp, carrots, cilantro, some other yummy veggies with ginger and black pepper over mung bean noodles. I'd never heard of a mung bean noodle. Served with a nice lime wedge, which gave the perfect zing. It was also surprising. The ginger was so fresh and perfect, and the mung bean noodles were springy and light. After the soup, I was unable to finish (or barely dent) my meal. I'll enjoy it steamed for breakfast, for sure. I'm so sorry we never stopped in before. I cannot wait to try more of the menu. We had a few folks at our table to check on us during the meal. Everyone was wonderful and friendly. read more

We met last night to check out the good reviews we had seen for a local place. So happy to report that the other reviews were spot on. We arrived and were seated and offered a wine key for our BYOB wine. We had the spring rolls, shrimp cakes (AWESOME & made FRESH), we each got to enjoy a cup of our own soup selection (lotsa shrimp in the cup), and we split the basil fried rice (mild was a bit spicey), and the green curry. The chef came out to bring us some of our dishes, which added a nice personal touch to the meal. I can't wait to return. read more

A very disappointing experience especially after reading some of the reviews. Service was very late to start with, we set outside and it felt like we were forgotten about. I have ordered the dinner duck dish. By the way, the menu has a description of every dish but also a picture of it. The dish that I have gotten was nothing like the pic of it. I got a bowl of carry soup with a few slivers of duck meat while pic representing the dish was of vegetables, curry sauce and 4 large slices of roasted duck Brest. By the way the dish is priced $18 Curry (sauce, pineapple chunks) was tasty but it was not worth $18. Very overpriced and misrepresented. Ladies that serve are very sweet but disorganized and inefficient. read more
