Best Thai in Cleveland and I've probably tried them all, this rivals Map of Thailand near downtown. We had basil fried rice (vegan version), tofu triangles, spring rolls, coffee bubble tea and tiger cry (beef) salad. I thought it was expensive until I saw the portions, crazy huge compared to Map and Thai Hut etc, we did not need so much for 2 people. Will be back again! My husband picked it up and it was all ready in time but they made his tea fresh when he arrived. They have a drive through too for pick up. He said it was nice inside, good chill spot or date etc. I got medium spicy and it was pretty hot, sneaks up on you. read more

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

This is a tough review because I am torn between two opposite sides - the quality of the food vs the exorbitant pricing. I am usually one where pricing wins out. In this odd case, I guess I will side with the food. Ordered the following - Thai Money bags $11 (8 pieces), Jungle Curry with squid $17, Green Curry with chicken $16 and Pad Thai with chicken $16. This added up to pennies shy of $60. Priced the same items from a competitor in Rocky River and while they didn't have the Thai Money Bag appetizer I substituted pot stickers and their bill would have added up to $46. So was this place $15 better or what? Aggh, that is so tough to decide. To be honest, you would have to do the comparison. In other words, your mileage will vary and you would come up with your own opinion. Here is what I could tell you. The Thai Money bags were basically 8 filled (pork filling) and fried won tons. Total size of each was about a quarter-sized bag. Taste was very good. Came with a sweet chili dipping sauce. Was it worth $11. Oh no ... In fact, hell no! They were good though. I'd say they should be priced similar to the competitors appetizes $6. Note: Most of Cravings appetizers were right around $10. A bowl of Tom Yum soup is $10, a cup $6. Entrees - Wife had the Green Chicken curry and thought it was outstanding. I tasted it and agreed. I had the jungle curry and asked for it extra hot - 10. Thankfully someplace made their dish hot. Spice level was a 10. Two comments - My jungle curry was watery and I was expecting something a bit like sauce, not soup. My wife's green curry had a nice thick coconut like texture to it. Secondly, there was very few squid in the jungle curry. In fact, very few vegetables either. But it did have an extraordinary amount of spicy hot liquid in there. I thought the pad thai (chicken) was very good. Entrees were the typical plastic or Styrofoam container size. Overall, seeing a $15 difference, I have to ask myself - "Self, how often will you return to Cravings vs the competitor?" It's amazing to me that if this was priced similarly I would probably return every other month. With this priced so high, probably once or twice a year. It's too bad Cravings ownership doesn't see that. It's almost like they took this location next to the fancy Beachcliff area (the location is an old coffee shop and they do showcase coffee/teas/pasteries esp. during the morning) and figured everyone has money there so we could charge $3-$4 more for every dish. Nobody will notice it nor care. Good food, but very pricy! read more

One of the reasons I joined Yelp is so I can scream from the rooftops when I find something I like and I love Cravings. The food is delicious. I have been a Thai food addict for over 30 years and have never really been completely satisfied with many Thai places in the Cleveland area (and I've been to most of them). Cravings is definitely one of the best. Very authentic and tasty. The price is just slightly higher than normal, which would normally be a red light for me, but the quality of the food justifies the cost. Anyone who knows me knows that is saying a lot. Check them out. It's just over the Lake Rd./Clifton Bridge on the Rocky River side. Very easy to find. read more

Delicious!! First time ever ordering Thai food and now I'm addicted. Boyfriend and I got pineapple curry and Pad Thai. The curry was so spicy but delicious!! Pad Thai was great too. The entrees were so large! Two orders could easily feed a family of 4 read more

Without question, the best Thai in the Cleveland area. If you want Thai hot, you can get it- along with fresh ingredients and masterful preparation. Our party of five was totally impressed across the board. You really cannot go wrong! Go there! read more

We have gotten carry out from here for a while and really enjoyed it but we finally stopped in for dinner. Cute little place very clean very courteous, and prompt service. I got coconut bubble tea, chicken spring rolls, and panache chicken curry. It was all very good very tasty, large portions. Can't wait to come back! read more

Love this place! My go-to Thai. I lived in SoCal for 7 years so I know my way around Asian food. The pad Thai is great and their Thai tea is yummy. Great prices, chill atmosphere. They have a drive through and do takeout too! read more

Very much enjoyed the delicious coffee, friendly service and laid back atmosphere. Plenty of space with an open feel. Food selections were sub par, but let's be honest... this isn't the place to go if you're looking for a gourmet meal. A must try if you are a coffee love. I'll be back! read more

Hidden gem Thai place. Their ingredients taste really fresh. Haven't had a bad thing on the menu. Green curry is delicious. I love the tom kha soup with chicken. Each dish comes with custom spiciness- a 6 is actually pretty spicy for me and I like spicy food. Btw, the Yelp hours say it's closed at 6 on Sunday but I ordered at 8:30.. read more

The Thai coffee bubble tea is worth it! The green curry is my favorite, but know that when they say spicy, they mean it. If you're uncertain about how spicy you'd like your meal, probably go a bit more conservative than you usually would. read more

My fiancé and I tried this place and absolutely loved everything about it! From the drinks to the food to the relaxed environment and friendly staff, we will definitely be going back regularly. Highly recommend! read more

Very cozy coffeehouse. Perfect for relaxing on a Sunday afternoon. I finished efiling taxes while I was here and with the soft music playing and warm atmosphere...it's just what I was looking for. The Iced Chai and Almond Poppyseed muffin were scrumptious also! read more

Absolutely love this place! The food is fresh, clean, and delicious. The wonton soup is one of the best in town - especially with the pork dumplings. The chicken satay is also remarkably flavorful. I've tried the curries, and every single one is excellent. My favorite dish to date is the pad see ew. The noodles and chicken are savory and nutty while the veggies add a nice texture and crunch. All in all a great time with great food. read more

Been there once to eat in and got takeout once. The food is average at best and definitely way overpriced. They also aren't great at explaining their spice levels (american spicy or thai spicy) so my food was not spicy enough. Go to Thai Thai instead. read more

We flew home from a conference in Dallas, and my son offered to pick up Thai food for our family dinner. He and his wife had eaten at Cravings before, and loved it. All I can say is their take out sucks. We ordered Drunken Noodles, Pad Thai, Soup, Fried Rice, Calamari & a salad. All of the noodle dishes were so dry, that we ate the protein and ditched the the rest. The Fried Rice was also very dry, and had an "off" smell. The Calamari would have been excellant had it not gotten soggy in the take out container. The Soup & Salad were excellent. We put some of the shrimp from the noodle dishes in the soup to add some volume. We realize that take out can be a challenge, but compensating for noodle & rice dishes by adding more sauce, or using plastic take out containers would definitely help. read more

My FAV Thai food around! Love the Red Curry, Pad Thai, spring rolls, everything! So good!!!

Hey. This is a Thai restaurant now? When I was in high school this was a cafe that seemed kind of eclectic (but that was my the late 90s, so everything looked like that). I'm giving this 5 stars because of its location and offerings. I mean the food was good too. read more

Thai menu is extensive. Has a very wide selection of dishes with all your Thai favorites.

We've been here a couple of times for boba. We decided we wanted to come back for dinner. I am not fond of going out of my (culinary) comfort zone, but my fiancé loves Thai food! I ordered chicken pad Thai with no spice, and my fiancé ordered pad kee maw very spicy! We both enjoyed our food and I had enough to take home for leftovers. The atmosphere was bustling on a Saturday night, yet service was still prompt! read more

I absolutely love the curries here. The depth of flavor is delicious. We have tried every thai restaurant in the vicinity and this one surpasses them all. A bit pricy but it's worth it! My favorites are the Panang Curry and Masaman. We have taken friends here from out of town and they requested to come back the next day! read more

Love this place!! I always try to eat here when I am home. One thing to point out is to be careful about the spice levels. This is coming from someone who eats spicy foods daily. They don't joke about spiciness here :-) definitely try out their Pad Thai, spring rolls, and Thai iced tea! read more

A couple of years ago I would have given this place 5 stars. Their coffee and espresso is still very good, but not great. They used to be in an old renovated greenhouse which was one of the coolest locations in metro Cleveland. Now they're in a new, cheap-looking free-standing building down the street from their old location (which was demolished for a housing development). It's not their fault, but the place is just no the same. Now the atmosphere is OK....it used to be great. Still, this is one of my four (4) good coffee houses in Cleveland. read more

Ate here for the first time 3 weeks ago..thought the prices were a bit steep compared to other Thai restaurants in CLE and I've tried most of them; however, after reading all the positive reviews, wanted to check the place out. I don't mind paying extra for quality ingredients. Shrimp cakes and many of the other appetizers were $8.95 for six or eight pieces depending on the appetizer...again, a little steep compared to other Thai restaurants. The shrimp cakes, were very good, unique and the noodle dish I ordered tasted great (Rad Nar) Then, I ordered carryout 2 nights ago and was in shock when I came in to pick it up. All prices have gone up by $2-$3, which I didn't know until I picked up my order. After seeing the size of my order of Thai Money Bags, and that the price had jumped to $10.95, I did the unthinkable- I refused the appetizer and asked to have it removed from my bill. This was crazy, but they were so small...bottom line, it's ground pork filled wontons and they were the size of a quarter! The server said yes all their prices have gone up...but that the ingredients are imported. (I'm sure the meat is not imported!) My beef Pad Thai was $15.95 and it literally had 6 paper thin slices of overcooked beef. And, the noodles were completely mushy and broken, which happens with rice noodles when they start disintegrating from the sauce. It was not good. I am sorry to say that I won't go back. The prices are insane and it's just not great enough that I would go back . There are too many other Thai restaurants in town. Note, they have not updated their menu prices on the website or in their carryout menu, so if ordering take out, be sure and asked for the price. read more

I went to Cravings for a cappuccino during the week of 10-2-16. I hadn't been here for quite a while so I was very pleasantly surprised to find Cravings is now serving scrumptious looking Thai foods. I was there around 8:00pm and the place was about half full. I ordered a cappuccino (perfectly prepared) and wished I would have eaten dinner here. I will definitely return very soon for dinner. The menu illustrates pictures of all the items it offers. When I saw what the diners were eating, wow, I was almost tempted to eat dinner all over again. The food looks amazingly wonderful (and I rarely, if ever, use the word amazing.) read more

I wouldn't recommend this place, especially with so many far superior and more authentic Thai restaurants nearby. The prices here are -way- overpriced (seriously $12 just for a simple vegetable pad Thai and upwards of $15+ if you want any meat in your entre). Also, simple appetizers like a summer roll ran for $8 or more. With prices like these, a typical meal (appetizer+entre+drink) could easily exceed $20-$25 per person. The prices DO NOT match the quality of food or service, either. Highly recommend other nearby more affordable and better quality Thai restaurants over this one. read more

Went to Cravings this morning and it was just ok. The cappuccino was tepid at best and you could taste more milk than coffee. Sat outside because it was beautiful weather but the patio did not have much personality, no flowers or anything pleasing to the eye, but it did have tons of weeds.. Prefer Erie Island Coffee Company read more

Ordered through Uber eats and got the pad Thai with a wonton soup. Pad Thai was right on point could of been a little spicier but good none the less. Wonton soup was a miss for me. I prefer the broth with dumplings and some greens but this was a lot different than the traditional. Will definitely come back. read more

This is authentic Thai food that is fresh and piquant. I had the tom yum gum soup and it was excellent--nice and spicy, featuring shrimp, mushrooms and cilantro. Also worth every bite was the superior summer rolls--shrimp, rice noodles, carrots and another thing wrapped in rice paper rolls. Yum. I'm happy. read more

Meal was good, but over-priced. Two entrees, a cup of soup and two bubble teas came out to $57 after tax and tip. Thai Elephant in Kamms Corners is just as good and much more reasonable, from my experience. Farther away and not as convenient but worth the drive at that price. read more

I have recently been coming here for the bubble tea and I can't stop, I love it! All of the flavors are amazing. I've also tried their hand made pastries.... delicious read more

Outstanding delicious food with considerate and accommodating management! Fantastic fresh and healthy menu. If I lived in Cleveland I would eat here on a regular basis and be a healthier and happier person. I wish there was one where I live. read more

At some point recently, the nondescript coffee shop near my house started serving what they said was very authentic Thai food. The coffee shop is OK, but the Thai joint is really damn good. I'm no expert in authenticity, but I loved the variety, freshness and execution on the dishes we tried. Three Thai women in the kitchen suggested it was authentic, but the taste will have me returning soon. read more

Went for dinner last night with my wife and kids. It's hard to say what I liked more about this place, the food or the service. The food was outstanding and the service matched. We had the Pad Ee Mao and the ginger pad King. Also the chicken wings and tom gum soup. All were excellent. The kids shared the fried rice which was also really good. Our waitress, whose name escapes me, was so kind to us and the kids. A great place for parents to get an excellent meal and feel good about having their kids with them. read more

Let me begin by saying that Cravings has been my favorite Thai spot since moving to NE Ohio in 2018. The Massaman Curry and Pad Kee Mao were my go to food when I didnt want to cook. I am a big fan of spicy so I would order these dishes hot ( not thai hot) but mind you I enjoy a good spice level. That being said the last few times i've ordered from Cravings the spice level has been out of control Thai hot. On my last two orders I even went as far as to say "no heat" and figured I'd play it safe and add my own spice to the meal as several members of my dinner party had varying spice tolerance. All of my items came out Thai hot. My guests could not eat their dishes and I even I struggled. I'm not sure if the first time the desired spice level was lost in translation given it was take out but the last time I was perfectly clear that we did not wish to have any spice. I'm not sure if they have a new kitchen staff but Beware if you dont like super spicy foods. I'll give Cravings a final chance when they open the dining hall but sadly I will no longer order take out as its such a bummer when half the food is too spicy for most ot eat. read more

You might call Cravings the bipolar Southeast Asian coffee house. By day, for breakfast and lunch, it's a reasonably good coffee house -- flavored grinds, a variety of syrups for regular coffees, some pastries, wraps, sandwiches, and the like. All that changes Monday thru Saturday, from 5:00pm to 10:00pm, when it becomes "Cravings Coffee & Tea Thai Cuisine." Their "new cook Tibby from Thailand" prepares a variety of appetizers, soups, salads, and entrees, including curries and noodle dishes such as Pad Thai. Serving sizes range between large and monstrous. Most importantly, they are willing to work with you. My wife wanted an essentially vegetarian stir fry, but she wanted some chicken thrown in and cashews added. Not a problem -- and we were assured it would not be spicy if she didn't want it so. In fact, if anything, it was somewhat bland, needing the help of some soy sauce. But the excellent wait staff was quick about making the needed improvement. My Pad Thai was an unusual experience. Having experienced that dish at 8 or so local restaurants, I had a pretty good idea what to expect -- stir-fried rice noodles mixed with egg, green onion, bean sprouts, carrots, and shrimp AND chicken in a tamarind sauce, topped with ground peanuts and with lime wedges on the side. This was a bit different. I ordered the shrimp, and my dish arrived with about eight of them, compared with the norm of three at most places. You had your choices of chicken, beef, pork, shrimp or tofu, each priced separately. I asked for a little heat in the spiciness category, and it arrived just as requested. I tried a soup, the Tom Yum Goong, a hot and spicy soup with three shrimp, lime juice, kaffir lime leaves, lemongrass, mushroom and tomato. Delicious! Next time, I'll give the Tom Kha Gai a try, with its promises of coconut milk and chicken. On the plus side are a comfortable ambience, ample free parking, extreme cleanliness, courteous staff, and a pretty good take on Thai cuisine. However, two negatives remain. Prices are on the high side. Salads are $8.95 to $13.95, while entrees, curries and noodle dishes are in the $10.95-$14.95 range. That seems about 15-20% higher than many other Thai spots. And for all Tibby's prowess in the kitchen, there were NO desserts offered, either on the menu or by the waitress. That's a shame, since standbys like coconut ice cream would find a ready market here. read more

Hands down, the BEST Thai Food around! Tibby is a gem, always smiling, making sure everyone is having a good time. I think I have tried just about every vegetarian meal on the menu, and I have never been disappointed! My faves are green curry with tofu, the Papaya salad (in the summer) and if you are craving Pad Thai (because, let's face it, who doesn't love Pad Thai) it is so good you will never order it anywhere else. Highly recommend Cravings Cafe! read more

Once again, fellow Yelpers, you didn't let me down on this recommendation. The boyfriend and I love a good cup of independent joe. We usually creep around Tremont but found Cravings after having breakfast at Borderline Cafe. The outside of the building makes you wonder if you are about to step into a knick knack shop with a bunch of Sweet Memories dolls staring you in the face...nah, not quite. The walls are painted an uplifting red, and nice artwork adorns those walls. Paul (not sure if he's the owner or the manager) warmly greeted us and told us they were voted best Independent coffee shop for the last 4 years in a row. Truth be told, my latte was solid and the boyfriend's Tiramisu flavor of the day was delicious. Deep, robust flavors and smooth as hell. And we picked up some of their Caribbean Nights and Rainforest Crunch coffee beans. Great discovery. read more

Great coffee, tasty treats, speedy wifi (15.5/5.5) and nice outdoor seating so my little dog can join me in savoring a croissant.
