Crave Bakery + Coffee Bar

This cafe shop has been on my list for a hot minute, and today I finally had the chance to try it out. Food: I ordered a Dubai matcha latte and a red velvet muffin. The drink was alright; there wasn't anything special about it. Standard matcha with chocolate milk. Now the red velvet muffin was so dry, that it had a consistency of rubber. It was lackluster in flavor and barely had any cream cheese in it OR on it. Service: I was not greeted when I walked in but was greeted at the register. The barista taking my order didn't seem to know what drink I was ordering, so I had to point it out to her on the menu. The owner doesn't wasn't friendly either, she is a bit rude to her customers and workers. Ambiance: When I first walked in, I immediately noticed the display case of baked goods, everything in the case seemed super cute and I noticed a lot of glitter on them. They had some chairs and tables, nothing special. Overall, I had high hopes for this place, but for the quality of the food and service, I will not be back.

Visiting family in the area and popped in for a bite before shopping. They come here often and love supporting local! Loved the croissant breakfast sandwich! Perfectly made! Delicious! I later had one of my cousin's favorite cookies from here (oatmeal). It was definitely the best I've ever had!

I was on the look out for diabetic friendly desserts I can order for the upcoming holidays, due to not being able to tolerate a lot of sugar. I wanted to sample some desserts so I order 8 cupcakes…I put in for shipping since it’s “nationwide” to be on a Saturday. They didn’t come til Tuesday (I called and one person said Monday then someone else said Tuesday a week or so later). I called the second time they said it would come Tuesday and they would be able to send me a tracking number..I never received a tracking number. The day they were delivered I get a notification from my complex. As I open the FedEx box I noticed there is NO freezer packs nor insulation to keep any coldness inside (I paid $41 in shipping). I’ve ordered baked goods for loved ones before from other bakeries and it was nothing like this. There was a small roll of plastic wrap (What you roll dishes in/ glass when moving) and a fabric Walmart bag to prop the cupcakes in the box so they won’t move. Both packs were melted and one was even partially open.

Amazing bakery items and food. They size their food differently here! Generous portions. I had a really chocolaty chocolate chip cookie that was delicious (not too sweet), and my breakfast sandwich was so fresh and filling. Highly recommended this little gem!

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 it! I’m definitely bringing friends next time I visit ☺️
