Took our entire college lacrosse team here and they did such a phenomenal job getting all of our orders and doing all 38 correct! Not to mention the salads and sandwiches were INCREDIBLE and the servers were so extremely nice. Definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I’ve eaten at plenty of places that say “artisan,” and then hand me something that clearly came from a factory … and people wonder why I have trust issues. 🤷♂️
Crave Artisan Specialty Market is NOT one of those places.
This little diner/bistro on Millwood Drive is the real deal. I stopped in for lunch and had the turkey panini with pesto, and let me tell you—this sandwich was actually handcrafted, thoughtfully made, and ridiculously delicious. Perfectly pressed, balanced flavors, and clearly made by someone who cares deeply about food and probably about your happiness too.
Then there was the collard, black-eyed peas, and rice soup they made specially for New Year’s Eve day. Comfort food royalty. One spoonful felt like good luck, good vibes, and a warm hug all at once. If prosperity really does come from eating black-eyed peas, I’m set for the year.
Service? Impeccable. Friendly, welcoming, and the kind of place where you instantly feel like you picked the right lunch spot.
They also have tons of delicious grab-and-go items, which means future me will definitely be back (often). If you’re looking for food that lives up to the word artisan, Crave doesn’t just talk the talk—it panini-presses the walk.
Highly recommend. Five stars without hesitation. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Good sandwich/soup lunch spot! The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was warm. I’ll definitely be back to try more stuff in the future!
i came in and ordered a kale caesar salad with chicken breast to go. with tax the total was $17.58. pretty steep for a caesar salad with chicken. i put a picture. in the second pic thats the chicken that is the $4 charge… pretty pathetic. also when my order was ready they put it on a to go shelf next to where i was sitting waiting and never called my name. i dont understand why they wouldnt have given it to me directly or at least called my name. i was sitting there waiting for a while when it was done before i realized it was just sitting on a shelf and no one was going to tell me anything. the guy working the counter was nice and the salad tasted good but i was somewhat irritated by the whole experience

Asked for the hot dogs to be grilled well done. They weren't even cooked fully. The chili was also cold. Let the staff know. Hopefully they train their cooks better.
Over the past few months you guys on Meeting Street have become my absolute favorite lunch spot! Your sandwiches are great and I’m so impressed by all the specialty sides that are always something different and unique. My faves have been the eggplant orzo, the red curry noodles and the blue cheese slaw but seriously everything I get from here is delicious. And great customer service!
Another business recommended Crave for lunch. We tried it. It was wonderful! The food was truly artisan but not weird- something you actually want to eat. The sandwich combos were large enough that neither one of us finished so any guy would have enough to eat.(My guys always worry about this). You can eat inside or out. Combos are chips or salads. I am sure we will be back.

Sandwiches were underwhelming considering all the reviews. Sandwich was good, we got the Devine and it was light on meat and insides imo. Taste good, place was nice, also if your under 40, expect to feel young here lol

I ordered the broccoli cheddar soup so yummy and full of broccoli chunks. I forget the name of the sandwich but the one with the artichoke spread is perfection!!

Excellent little neighborhood sandwich shop with great food!
While the food was great the service was terrible. We waited an hour for three sandwich’s. Multiple tables that came in after us had their food 10-15 minutes before us. Once we received our ticket we were able to see our order was not put into the POS system until 30 minutes after we ordered. I understand this was not done initially and mistakes happen but the server never communicated to us what happened or even returned to our table until after we got our food. We had to take our food to go since we were on our lunch break. Thankfully the food was wonderful and worth the wait.
