Crave Bakery + Coffee Bar
200 College Pl, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“Crave Bakery + Coffee Bar is a Norfolk gem that takes both sides of its name seriously, pairing creative signature drinks like the Dubai matcha latte and cinnamon bun latte with genuinely excellent house-made pastries and breakfast sandwiches that keep locals coming back. What sets this spot apart is the generous portions and thoughtful touches—like offering sugar-free dessert options and nailing the balance between indulgent flavors and quality ingredients, as evidenced by their "not too sweet" chocolate chip cookies and perfectly executed croissant sandwiches. It's the kind of neighborhood bakery-cafe that feels like a natural gathering place, where families and regulars feel equally welcomed.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Everything I ordered this morning was delicious!! I ordered the cinnamon bun latte + sweet potato ham biscuit, and my immediate thought when trying my first sip/bite was YUMMMMM 😍 I also ordered sweet potato + strawberry hand pies to try with my family later; can’t wait to try…
