I have only been here twice but both times the staff and ambiance were warm and welcoming. The food and coffee were so good. They also have a nice patio area to sit out at with a water feature which is so calming!

Besides great coffee, there are many choices for great food. My go to is usually the featured quiche. Have not had a bad one! The atmosphere here is wonderful whether you are alone or with a friend or two! It is a safe place; also great outdoor seating & water feature. Really a great spot with good folks

Cafe cravings is a good brunch place to go with a small group. Simple easy foods you can make at home. They have good coffee options I would say that is probably best items on their menu, another pro is they have a whole gluten free menu which is always appreciated. Hash browns, pancakes, and coffees are very good, but my friends didn’t really appreciate the uncooked eggs, they were a little raw, which isn’t horrible just know in advance if this might be an issue for you, to ask for it to be more cooked. Really affordable breakfast. The service is pretty much self-serve. But all around not a bad place for simple breakfast if you’re missing home and in the area.

I was part of a company lunch where I was able to choose the eating establishment for the occasion. Since all of my favorite places were out of reasonable commute range I browsed the internet and chose Cafe Cravings. Setting was a bit pedestrian but that was fine. Service was adequate but we were not demanding customers so not much was required. I wanted to order the stuffed french toast however they were out for the day; that can be very understandable as it was later in the day at lunch hour and they only would prep so much of the item. So I ordered the regular french toast and a fried egg and cheese biscuit. The person I was with ordered a bread bowl with wild rice soup and some beverage with Kiwi. For one it cost an extra 2.50 just to have a squirt bottle of maple syrup, of which I would only just a small amount, when most places I think syrup is generally included with this food item. With or without the syrup the french toast was palatable but underwhelming. The fried egg biscuit looked pretty good, but didn't actually have much taste or balanced flavors; the egg was kind of diminutive and buried and the cheese was not noticeable. All I really tasted was the heavy and very average biscuit. The biscuit was not soft and hot like a fresh dinner roll like I was hoping. The person that I was with was not very impressed with the bread bowl and only ate about half of it. Overall the food was not outright poor yet just very bland and the reality is that there was nothing served to us here that I couldn't make better at home with a modest effort, and I'm not exactly an executive chef. Since I didn't have to fund this meal I can't say that I have buyers remorse, more like a bit of choosers remorse. Nothing we had would persuade us to make a return trip and try something else.

Their coffee is alright but I can’t say the same for their food. I ordered eggs Benedict and the flavor was ok but it was served to me cold, I ordered a bagel as well and that was cold too and barely even toasted. The ham tasted a little suspect as well so I didn’t dare eat any. Super disappointed, I’ve been there a few times before for their coffee but I wanted to try the breakfast this time but I won’t be back after this. Obviously the cook gave up. What a waste of money, I left still hungry.

What an absolute incredible breakfast experience! I ordered the Cravings Omelet and, I can’t over state this, it was the most delicious omelet I have ever had. A beautiful blend of savory and sweet. Oh my my! Please do yourself a kindness and run, not walk, to Cravings and have your mind blown! My highest compliments to the chef!

Breakfast is our favorite travel meal and the quest paid off with this jewel of a cafe. We especially like real potatoes and these were perfect! I get eggs Benedict when possible and these were again perfect. Their own sauce and quality meat. Baked goods looked heavenly but too full to sample. But husband had some yummy sourdough bread. Super nice folks right off the highway. Thanks for a great start to a day on the road.
