Cravings Cafe
114 N Front St, Columbus, OH
Crema's Take
“Cravings Cafe is a Columbus gem that takes the time to do food right, earning consistent praise for everything from their incredible burritos and smash burgers to carefully crafted soups and sandwiches. Beyond the excellent kitchen output, it's genuinely good for lingering—whether you're working on your laptop, meeting a friend, or just soaking in the laid-back downtown vibes and thoughtful music selection. Fair warning: the kitchen moves at its own pace, but regulars agree the quality makes every minute worth it.”

Incredible food, although I am a bit heartbroken that breakfast is no longer served, because the burrito was incredible. All the food is great, haven't had anything from Cravings that wasn't. Amazing service, amazing people, amazing food, give them your business! Edit: Thank you so much for bringing back the burrito
This place is awesome! I've tried many sandwiches, had the tomato bisque soup and coffee and they do not disappoint! Everything I've eaten here has been absolutely Delicious 😋
I really like the place. It does take a long time but the food is worth it. I have went in person a few times and ordered online as well. If you order online, it still may take longer than it says. The lady who works the front counter gets really frustrated if you stand up front, even if no-one is there. She has you stand over to the side but it gets really crowded. She even said something to me for standing in the wrong spot but it was so crowded over on the side she wanted me, it was uncomfortable. I had been there for a long time even after my online time was passed. If you have plenty of time the food is definitely worth it but make sure you stand in the right place to wait.
Very yummy little gem! I was glad to find this place as it was very convenient to the location I was working for the day. The smash burger was yummy!!!! And so was the pasta salad “feature of the week.” The prices for the main entrees were actually quite reasonable. Under $10 for the burger! However, the sides are where they get ya, so I wouldn’t recommend one unless you have the money to blow ($5 for pasta salad or fries – 1/2 the price of the main entree!) Friendly customer service and nice interior features. I would return here, happily.
Downtown and has bathroom, wow! The food and drinks were wonderful. Staff were very nice. A few Grateful Dead songs played followed by Tedeschi Trucks Band. Great vibes and a downtown jem.
