This place has some amazing deserts! They are made fresh daily. This is a small business doing big things. It's definitely worth the try

The online ordering system is useless. We placed an order for keto cupcakes, the order confirmation shows the flavors we requested, but the store did not get that information. When we showed up to pick up our order it was not ready and they did not have the cupcake flavors we requested. The cupcakes we were given are STALE and hard as rocks. Here I was expecting freshly made cupcakes for my birthday and I am given cupcakes that are barely even edible. I would be mortified to give these away, let alone charge $6 a piece for them. What is even the point of having an online order system if it doesn’t actually take the order? At no point did anyone from the store reach out to inform us that we would not be getting what we ordered.The man behind the counter was barely cordial, no apologies or even attempts to remedy the issue. We ended up with stale cupcakes that were not even close to what we ordered. We will not be returning.

Chesapeake fam! Get in your car and go to crave right now. It was such an incredible surprise of culinary fortitude! My picture can not give it Justice. I was a little nervous about the price but would pay it again for the craft and amount of food. I got the sweet potato ham biscuit and was so so pleased with it all.

DO NOT USE THEIR ONLINE ORDERING. Ordered 3 days in advance, so they had plenty of time to reach out. Their online system offers the ability to offer specified items. But what they get in the system is just a generic item order. When I arrived, they had nothing except an excuse. “Oh it should’ve been blocked. Yeah sorry about that.” Well it didn’t. No attempts to reach out. Nothing. Barely an apology. For as much as you push your online ordering you’d think it would be sensibly used.Worst service. WORST customer service. If you’re going to leave your husband running your store maybe you should have it so he doesn’t have to call you to explain orders.

We used their online ordering system to place an order for a 4 pack of keto cupcakes. The order was placed well within their 48 hour window. When we arrived, they did not have our order for us. They also did not have the ability to actually fill the order. We were given 4 stale keto cupcakes that they happened to have lying around. The flavors were not even close to what we ordered, but it was for a birthday celebration so we took them. When we got them home, we found that they are hard as rocks and basically inedible because they are so stale. The man behind the counter (co owner/husband to the owner), was rude and made absolutely no attempt to apologize or otherwise remedy the situation. They are aware that their online ordering system doesnt work, but when they received the order, (which he said they had), no attempt was made to contact us to verify.

I don’t recommend it to anybody. I’m sure some of the desserts are great, but it is way over priced for warmed up bagel with some normal cream cheese which was supposed to come with their “homemade blueberry cream cheese.” There’s so much on the menu that is way overpriced. I was so disappointed in the bagel I’m glad I didn’t get the $14.50 BLT that I was originally going to get. My recommendation, go grab some lunch then get a dessert there…or just save your money and don’t risk it.

Absolutely delicious! Their menu is huge and offers a lot of variety. The giant garlic cheddar biscuit is out-of-this-world good! The staff were very friendly and personable too. 10/10 recommend!

Nice place, great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Bakery had some great looking treats also. Bread pudding was yummy

After eating at the amazing Soulivia’s, my family and I went next door to Crave and were so excited with seeing all of the options! We were from out of town and were so happy that these too local businesses were our last spots before getting on the road! We will be coming back!

Love the atmosphere and vibe. The Coffee is very good. Met the owner Camille today. She is a lovely person and delightful to talk too.
The coffee was wonderful. My latte didn't have the bitter espresso. My husband loved his peach cobbler cupcake. We will definitely stop by again when we are in the area.

Visited in late March before heading to Hickory farms!We did not sample any of the amazing looking baked goods but instead opted to have a brunch here. My mom got the waffles with eggs and fresh squeezed orange juice. The orange juice was amazing! I got the lavender French toast and a lavender coconut drink (sorry I can't remember the exact name!) The lavender coconut drink just tasted like a coconut slushie, so if wasn't bad, just wasn't what I expected! The French toast on the other hand completely ruined my experience. I often order lavender speciality foods and drinks especially when in season its my favorite, so I'm familiar with the taste! However unfortunately the lavender was not properly incorporated into the cream cheese which caused it to taste like SOAP...It was not edible.I would possibly come back to try a cupcake or cheesecake because they looked great! But unfortunately the breakfast items fell flat

Had the crab corn chowder. Was probably the best crab corn chowder I have ever had. We are from out of town otherwise this would be a go to place to eat. The server was very pleasant and attentive. Good job.

Extremely disappointed in how I was treated here after I paid for my order. I am a law student working remotely for a law firm and was trying to find a local coffee shop to do my work for an hour or two in. I saw Crave online and wanted to give it a try. My visit started off positively. The barista was very nice and greeted me when I walked in. There was a nice selection of prettily decorated cupcakes and macarons. The inside was a lot smaller than I expected, only a few table seats and it was noisy, but the interior glass door to the restaurant next door was open, so I asked the barista about seating in there. She explained that they were a joint venture and provided the wifi password. It took about 20 minutes for my iced tea to be prepared, and once I had it, I went through the glass doorway (which, again, had been open) and set up my computer at a two-top table in the corner of the restaurant where it was quieter, brighter, and the chairs were much more comfortable and plentiful. Given that the restaurants were joint, the interior glass door between them had been opened when I arrived, and I was a paying customer, the space had the appearance of an open venue and I had no reasonable rationale to assume otherwise. A few minutes after I set up my computer and started working, an employee (perhaps the manager?) approached me to ask if I wanted a menu. I said that I had already purchased the iced tea from the coffee shop and was sitting here to work for the present, since it was much quieter and had much more seating than in the café segment of the unit. (I actually intended to make an order later.) The employee told me that I would have to move into the café since I was not a restaurant customer and walked away. The employee returned a moment later to say that I did not have to move right now to the café, but when customers came into the restaurant, they needed the seating and I would have to move. I came into the café looking for a quiet, relaxing work environment, as most cafes are, and felt like I was being harassed, so I decided at that point to leave. As I was in the middle of responding to the employee (I believe I did so in a very polite manner), she suddenly turned and walked away from me! I quickly packed up my work materials and left.I am extremely disappointed in the way I was treated. I was professionally dressed and working quietly in the corner, not causing any visible disruption. I also do not understand why it was an issue for me as a paying customer from the restaurant’s joint, open door venture to sit there during a lull period. This occurred at around 1:30 PM, after the lunch rush, so I am not sure what big crowds the restaurant was imminently expecting that I had to move. Additionally, only about three out of over a dozen tables were occupied in the whole restaurant, and many other two-tops were available. I have also never had an employee or a manager walk away from me as I was respectfully in the middle of saying that I had simply visited for a quiet space to do my legal work. Good customer service always at least hears the customer out.I hate writing a bad review for a small local business, but this was honestly a terrible experience. If you are looking for a coffee shop to do homework or remote work in, or just hang out for a little while, this is NOT the place – it is really a take-out only venture. I am extremely disappointed to have paid to be treated like this, and felt completely unwelcome and unvalued as a paying customer.

This cafe is it! Such a cute little spot for peace and quiet while enjoying a cup of coffee and something sweet! It's right on the border of Virginia and North Carolina. I just so happened to need gas from Wawa, and this little shop caught my eye (which was good because I didn't really want anything from Wawa to eat.I noticed a few pastries and some of them were even keto. So curiosity killed the cat and I indulged in a pink, keto cupcake. The cashier was very friendly and attentive, so I'm sure I'll be back.
