CRAVE has been a coffee shoppe that many of our church members come for meet ups because of the…read moreatmosphere, seating, offerings for drinks (coffee, tea, latte, bottled juices) and sweets and croissant sandwiches.
Though my husband frequents here often, this may have been my first time visiting to post about it.
Wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. There are sofas, chairs, even tables with chairs. Some of the couches are quite low and, well used but are what I would expect at a coffee shop. The kind where you can curl up with a book though perhaps others may not like you hogging the couch
I was meeting with a few other women and enjoyed a delicious chai latte with almond milk but instead posted the picture of what my friend ordered because of the adorable gingerbread man image on top of her latte. Mine was delicious and though I personally drink plain tea (sometimes with lemon) at home and not a coffee drinker, the latte was perfect on this foggy wet winter day. To be honest, it would have been perfect on any day. I was asked if I preferred a mug or the disposable cup, an option if it was small (I think though maybe large?) or medium size order. I had ordered a medium and there's something about having a handle, right? Plus less landfill item.
Because I'm trying to reduce the amount of sugar intake from the holiday season (and had breakfast 90 minutes prior), I did not choose any of the baked goods, though tempting. I should have captured a photo to recall but there were muffins, cookies, etc
CRAVE has WiFi available for its patrons and quite inviting to remain, not rushing anyone out. I saw people alone enjoying a drink and reading, others alone on their laptop, many with others enjoying each other's company and conversation.
If you crave a place that will allow you to relax and/or have a pick-me-up drink, CRAVE certainly is a place to go.
Because this is the anchor shop of a strip, there is ample parking along the parking lot on the side. And if you want full blown meals, there are options along the strip, one of which I have frequented often.
I enjoyed my experience and thus give CRAVE a 5 star.
