Le Crave

Tried the berry crepe, matcha, and tropical dream smoothie. Everything was pretty good, but overly sweet for us. Good local family run business. Super friendly.

this little place is so good that i’m still sitting here writing this review. we drove up to iowa for one night and stumbled upon le crave for breakfast. we ordered the dubai chocolate crepe and a vanilla matcha. i’m absolutely delighted with the way everything tastes. if i lived here i would come all the time! absolutely worth a visit if you’re in the area!!

Absolutely loved this place! The café has a cozy, modern vibe with beautiful décor, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The desserts were incredible — the new warbat was perfectly crispy with tons of pistachios, and the Dubai chocolate crepe was rich, soft, and seriously delicious. Great coffee, great atmosphere, and a very convenient location. Highly recommend — can’t wait to come back!

Everything here from the beginning looks special, starting from the location which is in Iowa city downtown, making it easy to reach if you are going to your school, work or even if you're just walk around. The atmosphere inside made Carefully in away that you can observe how they're preparing your order from scratch, also workplace area available inside. They have sample for most of the items they've so you can know what looks like and how they make it. I tried the coffee here , it was good balanced coffee, it's remind me with Italian espresso the one I used to drink before, and I've looking for place serving coffee like this, Finally I found it. I tried also Dubai crepe, it was delicious also. Overall experience excellent, I highly recommend any one to visit you will never regret it. Le Crave 🌹

I had a fabulous first visit to the two week old Le Crave in Iowa City. I went with my partner and daughter and all of us had a wow! experience😋 I love the atmosphere, it is modern yet cozy, perfect for getting together with peeps you are close with, or just to stop in for a yummy bite oneself. We were greeted at the register by the cheerful and energetic owner, Maryam. My hat is off to her as the place (open only two weeks!) was ticking along like a Swiss watch. And the food! Oh the food... We had two flatbreads, the Classic Za'tar and the Melted Magic. As well as the Nutella Fettuccine, a sweet, and coffees. All of the dishes were delightful, the three of us were in full agreement about each of them. The flatbread itself is perfect, great flavor and exactly the texture one hopes for. The za'tar seems as though it would be powerfully flavored, as it is liberally dusted with spices. But the flavor profile is actually quite subtle, savory and tasty, but without one single flavor dominating. Perfect as a snack to share around (as we did) or as a light lunch. I generally order different dishes off of a restaurant's menu every time I visit as I love new tastes, but the Melted Magic is so delectable I would order it every single time! The flatbread is topped with a mixture of feta, mozzarella, and queso fresco. It is baked so exquisitely that I can only describe the texture as pillowy. Flavored with thyme & mint this dish is so dang good the only comments on it were, mmmmm ummmmm mmmmm😋 The Nutella fettucine is a sweet dish consisting of a crêpe cut into thin strips (the fettuccine) drizzled with melted Nutella, white chocolate, and fresh strawberries. This dish is lightly sweet, not sugary in any way. The bright fresh flavor of the berries, the light sweetness of the drizzle of the white chocolate, and the quite specific sweet/not sweet flavor of the Nutella combine wonderfully. If you have ever enjoyed a Nutella crêpe then this is a must-have. If you have never had a Nutella crêpe this is still a must have😁 The sweet was a chocolate and peanut butter delight, almost unbelievably rich and delish and gone in seconds with the oh-so-good coffee. I would love to hear what you, dear reader, have to say about this brand new place🙏 Definitely a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ recommend from me!
