Stumbled upon this cute coffee shop the other day and was highly impressed! This coffee shop has a fun industrial vibe going on and great decor, I felt like I was in an episode of “Friends” with the fun couches to sit and and chat with friends while enjoying your favorite cup of coffee. They had a very nice selection of fresh pastries to choose from, breakfast items and of course lots of coffee choices. My friend got a breakfast sandwich and enjoyed it, I had a Frappuccino and it was great! Make sure if you’re in Mauldin you give this little gem a try!
Finally found my coffee spot! The people there were so nice and friendly. The coffee is delicious as well as the blueberry muffin. I didn’t have time to stay, but it looked so comfy inside.
Excellent customer service by makeda and Maddy and very cute place BUT huge disappointment for the fact that they do not have any vegetarian or vegan options. A egg and cheese sandwich or just something warm that’s not sweet would be nice to add to the menu. It definitely would grow the business. Everything has meat and if it’s not meat it’s all sweets 😞. Coffee was great but we will pick another shop (just moved here) until I see a change in this menu. Once’s more vegetarian options are added into the menu we would love to start coming daily! Thank you!!!
Came here to do some remote work while passing through. Coffee was great, atmosphere was nice for that time of the morning. Has nice big tables to work at in a group or even by yourself. Staff was kind and helpful too. If Im ever in the area again Ill stop in!
I love to stop at Crave after I walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail on my way to do paperwork or write. I drink pourover coffees. Their scratch-made pastries are delicious.
The breakfast croissants and burritos are incredible and their coffee is top notch.
My wife and I were dropping our car off at a mechanic nearby and decided to try out Crave coffee for the first time since it’s local (instead of going to Starbucks).The customer service was awesome and the speed of service was fairly fast. We each got a latte and a breakfast croissant for around $20.Where it went downhill was after we drove off and took our first bite of the sausage egg and cheese croissant. It is hands down the worst breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. The egg looked and tasted like rubber and both us ended up throwing away 3/4 of it because of how nasty it smelled and tasted. To be fair this seemed to be some sort of 3rd party catering service but if I was Crave, I would stop using them immediately.Overall, I recommend the coffee and customer service, but steer clear of the food. For a $20 breakfast I just expected real egg or something above McDonalds level quality food wise.
Delicious coffee and homemade goodies. Awesome locally owned and operated! Cant wait to go back!!!!
Sort of what thats expected when going to a coffee shop. Quite, friendly and good service. Just a couple of items they dont have, comfort, they keep the temperature to cold for me, take a jacket. The furniture isnt very comfortable. Big heavy tables and be very hard benches. Prices are a little high, when you are only a couple of blocks from Starbucks, you must beat their prices to stay in business. I guess thats why this place has changed owners so often over the years.
Nice and roomy with big tables, couches, and high tables. Drinks were good, but not great. They were a little watery and flavor add ins couldnt be tasted. Food was good, but the breakfast sandwiches were from a cooler and we were surprised there was no way to heat them up. Couch looked nice, but we could feel the springs and it got uncomfortable fast. With a friendly and helpful staff and clean bathrooms, this coffee shop gets a solid average rating from us.
One of my favorite local coffee places! Great coffee, comfortable atmosphere, and friendly staff. Love going to drive thru or in for working with others!
Went here for the first time today and it was great! the drive thru employee was very nice and uplifting! I got the blueberry muffin and it was great, highly recommend coming here!
Only been a few times but I want to make this one of my regular stomping grounds (pun intended)!Great place that is great for work, conversation, relaxation, and of course a great cup of coffee. Highly recommend 💯
Great people, top tier atmosphere, and continual consistency. The workers and owner(s) should be proud.
No doubt the best coffee around(way better than Starbucks). While having the best coffee, they also have fairly inconsistent coffee. I used to get an iced flavored latte that was perfect. Then that worker was there less, and different workers Made the coffee much, much, much too sweet. That is still the case today. And when I say half sweet, I swear they also make the coffee less strong. Again, best coffee around when they get it consistent. But 99% of the time, they make it too sweet. And you can’t say less sweet or the flavor will be all over the place. I still will keep coming back though because it is great coffee underneath the very sweet flavor.
Tried Crave for the first time today. My wife tried the Samoan late, which had mocha and coconut. I had a double dirty chai late 20 oz (lots of delicious caffeine!). The coffee was pretty strong but lighter than desired in flavor. Store was very clean and service was really welcoming and upbeat. Lots of tasty baked goods, beer and wine, other types of drinks, and great atmosphere for those who come for more than their caffeine fix. Glad we tried it and will stop by next time in area. Coffee is local roasted, so definitely good to support the local economy!
Great environment and coffee is what you would expect, but avoid the prepped breakfast at all costs. I got the breakfast burrito once and it was borderline inedible. Dry stale microwaves hash brown filling. I just had a sausage croissant and it was sadly an equally disappointing experience. The croissant itself is fine, but the egg is just a rubber yellow square. You would be better off grabbing something from QT or Spinx if you want to eat something. The baked goods seem good though. Bagels and muffins are solid.
The barista at the drive thru window was very helpful! She assisted me in finding dairy free options, and I ended up with a raspberry vanilla oat milk latte. It was very tasty, and I appreciate her help.
Great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful.
I absolutely loved my experience at Crave Coffee! The atmosphere is peaceful with positive energy and quiet enough for studying, reading, or a meaningful conversation. The baristas were friendly and custom made my drink! The coffee shop is conveniently located, lots of parking, and exceptionally clean! It will definitely be my number one go to place for coffee! Thank you Crave Coffee!
Loved the atmosphere. Had my coffee and worked comfortably for a few hours. The workers were very nice and friendly.
Amazing customer service. Helped customizing my order with a breeze. Drinks were super tasty and very unique
Awesome local coffee shop. Staff is super helpful and friendly.. Great little place to hangout and grab some caffeine. Recommend the White Crave
Great little spot for coffee...staff & owner were very personable & friendly....and the coffee was very good. Highly recommend as an alternative to the juggernaut that is Starbucks.
A friend and I were out running an errand and came across this gem! Such a warm, inviting environment! We sat, sipped and chatted for an hour. My Americano was ON PONIT!! Fantastic place to meet up with a friend, study or enjoy some “self” time. We will be back!!!
Came for a long weekend and stopped here every morning! Tasty summer flavor options - definitely recommend honey blossom and sweet lavender.
I saw this little coffee shop on Google while visiting 4 miles away in Greer. (Do yourself a favor and shop local instead of going with the masses and here’s why:)I wanted a Borgia and the barista was happy to make it for me even though she didn’t have any orange zest, it was still wonderful.There is a good vibe here, great energy from the staff, and wonderful desserts. You have to try the Irish Cream cheesecake made with a chocolate crust and topped in ganache. It paired well with my semi-Borgia coffee. Definitely putting Crave in my list of faves!
I enjoyed they have a drive through, so convenient. Great local coffee shop.
Good coffee always wake up
Im a dirty crave addict. Its delicious and the staff is always so nice.
My first experience here was unfortunately not good. No issues with service she was polite and quick. I ordered a mocha latte, I have tried mochas from lots of different coffee houses. Wow this one was not good at all. I actually took 2 drinks the rest got dumped. Sucks to because I really was looking forward to the boost this morning. I should have just went to QT at least I could have finished it.
Decent coffee. Very crowded when I was there. Good service.
We Love the decor, ambience and the service! Not always we can find a place with awesome coffee and nice place to sit ( like your home)!
I get an afternoon coffee here all the time and have always been met with great service and good drinks. Huge fan of the White Crave!
Always love coming here. Great atmosphere and excellent menu!
Come here every week and its always a pleasant experience. Great coffee and ever greater people. 10/10 would recommend. Also the iced white crave is a D1 iced coffee.
Love the seasonal flavors they have. Employees are very nice. Great local coffee shop.
Excellent coffee with great staff. Breakfast items also yummy 😋
Slow service, gave us iced drinks when we ordered hot, and they don’t offer any pour-over or french press coffee.
I give Crave coffee 5 Stars for customer service. My family and I were headed to our favorite coffee shop in Powdersville when I decided that I didn’t want to drive that far so I turned around and came here. So we come in and order and when our daughter tried her drink she didn’t like it. The reason being is it had coffee in it and the other place we go to doesn’t put coffee in that particular drink. I wasn’t going to say anything I just went up and ordered her another drink and went to pay for it. Then one of the sweet ladies asked if my daughter didn’t like her drink. I explained to her why she didn’t like it and she apologized and made her a drink without coffee in it. The cheesecake was amazing, the bagels are great and the their coffee comes from a local coffee company called Due South. Small business supporting another small business. I wasn’t thrilled with the taste of my coffee because it was watered down. However I did like the one that my daughter didn’t like. Bottom line is everyone needs to try the coffee shop at least once then you can decide what you think about the place. Very inviting and quite.
Friendly staff helped me with my complicated order, and my coffee was prefect. Definitely recommend.
Absolutely awesome coffee! I had dropped my sister at the airport and was in definite need of coffee. Super happy I chose it! Great service, super coffee and not a bad price for such quality .
I enjoy this coffee, the white crave brand
Great place. I have only been there twice and each time the food was great! Just had a chicken salad croissant and it was amazing. I think all the food is made fresh daily. Staff is very nice.
Good place for friends to visit over good coffee
Very cute place. Delicious salad, pastries, and coffee!! The girls working there give great service!! Cant wait to go back!!
I have been going to Crave since it opened, since it is close to work. At first, i thought everything about it was amazing from the coffee, the food, the employees, and the atmosphere. I have been going periodically as quality has declined and finally made the decision today was my last day to go. The staff was extremely rude, including the new male manager. There was no personality like all the girls used to have. The coffee is always either burnt or watery, and I have gotten an almost black bagel the last couple times. The food is always amazing, but you should really learn to not give someone a burnt bagel and then say, oh, you dont like it really crispy? What a great thing for a manager to say. Also, we have been getting bags of coffee for our own espresso machine at home from Crave and was told that they have never done that before. Again, the new manager has only been there for three weeks, so he knows everything. If you want good coffee, food and a friendly face, then this isnt the place to go anymore. You might as well get the mainstream cup of Starbucks coffee- at least its good.
I can make better coffee at home. Girls didnt stir in the cream and sugar and didnt provide me with at least a stirrer. I used the back of my toothbrush in my car. Not going back there again even though I drive by there all the time.
Horrible experience every single time. First never order the food it has mold on it. The last 5 or 6 times I have been over there I have had to take it back and they act like they do not care- ummm serious health violation. Then the baristas in the morning are awful. They have no organization of how to handle a drive thru and a bar. Make sure if you order a specialty drink with a certain kind of milk they use it. Last time I asked for soy not sure what was given to me. The ONLY kind thing I can say is when I go for my afternoon pick me since its walking distance to my work is the lady that is usually there with Blonde hair. She is sweet and is always pleasant. Maybe her other co-workers should take a lesson from her. Unfortunately, that is no longer enough for me to do service with this business.
Good place for a coffee. Nice to stop in with a pretty cool environment in an unexpected tucked away place just off Woodruff Road. They do drive through too. My family is Vegan and they had plenty of plant based milk options for the drinks. We didnt try any food. Maybe next time. Check it out.
I went here for the first time today and I was very disappointed by the customer service and Frappe that I bought. I even told the drive thru worker this was my first time as I looked over the menu. They asked if I wanted whipped cream as she went to hand me.the drink through the window. The Frappe tasted like watered down syrup with no coffee flavor. Didnt feel it was even worth asking for another type. I could have gotten a better coffee at McDonalds.
Friendly service, but the flavor of the coffee beans isn’t for me. They have a peculiar sweetness that is somewhat reminiscent of maple. It tastes odd to me, but the service is great, and the coffee was well prepared, wish they used different beans.
Friendly staff and cozy place to get coffee and tea.
Great place to network!
Highly recommended local coffee gem.1) Excellent coffees. The full menu is impressive & completely validates multiple visits!2) Atmosphere & Service. Its located on a busy-yet-easily accessable plaza corner. Open view through the windows, Scandinavian lounge style interior, solid background music. Feels humbly luxurious... on par with any modern Starbucks, but less hey look at me!3) Needs exposure. This place is worth trying, re-trying & rediscovering as the seasons change. Keep this place on your coffee radar.
Pretty neat little place! I loved that they make their own syrups, and they were really unique flavors too like hibiscus. Theyre more of a second wave coffee type of place. Also liked that they have a little shelf selling lavender products from a nearby lavender farm in greer. Gotta support local! Its cute and has a nice atmosphere. :)
Crave Coffee is so very nice and relaxing. The shop is locally owned (which is a major plus to me). The drinks are so very nice and tasty. The prices are very good as well.
This place is great. The coffee is strong and delicious. There are a lot of drink options including drinks that do not include coffee. The staff is very friendly and make sure you enjoy your beverage.
Atmosphere is modern and relaxed. The Roasted tomato bagel is delicious! And the coffee is the best in town. To top it off, the ladies are super friendly! I cant wait to go back!
A year ago I left a bad review and would not go here. Then some friends of mine have raved about it recently so Ive tried it twice now and it has been absolutely delicious. So Im giving it a five-star review and I will be a regular customer.
It was very goodI had a sugar free latte with almond milk. My friend had the York pepermint hot chocolate with almond milk.Both were delicous.
Great coffee spot in good location.
Clean, friendly good coffee. Nice place to write or study. Four stars because the site said it had king cake but there was none.
I come here at least twice a week. It has a great atmosphere. Whether you’re coming with a group or alone, the ample seating and wonderful staff will take great care of you. Best spot in Mauldin.
Atmosphere is everything! The Latte that I purchased the at 8am was still on my desk when I left at 6pm very weak tasting. I guess my expectations was based on the old coffee shop they were so friendly went out of their way to make you feel welcomed
Bagels are great. Service is a little slower w. But over all good experience.
Great desserts!!! Nice little place to have a cup of coffee with friends or family. Coffee is not very good. Spoke to one of the girls that works there about how bitter their coffee was and she said other people have complained about the same thing. They still havent done anything to make it better.
Ah, the simple things...Great atmosphere. Good coffee. Friendly staff. Yummy snacks. WiFi. Terrific prices.
Coffee was great!! I had a caramel macchiato. Very tasty.Unfortunately, I didnt try the food, though it looked yummy.
First time to South Carolina first time to crave.. the coffee was good the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. If I live there it would probably be a place I would frequent a lot
Coffee is great ...quiet lil nook to take a break....
Great spot with a nice staff. Coffee is decent. The place is a little too clean like a Starbucks.... Needs more hole in the wall funk or vibe.
Really good baked goods while having very smooth and flavorful coffee and esspresso! The seating reminds me of Starbucks before they got rid of their comfortable furniture.
Only been there once so far and just got a coffee. It was very strong, but good. Nice, comfortable atmosphere.
Great potential but terrible first experience. Went on a Sunday morning ...one person behind the counter and a long line. Took almost 30 minutes to get a bagel and hot chocolate. The one employee was trying her hardest and was very polite and apologetic. Might give it another shot.
Awesome desserts. Great place to meet a friend Due South coffee 12oz. $2.00.great atmosphere.
Got a peppermint mocha which was great. Nice quiet place to work or meet someone. At little difficult to get in and out of parking lot.
Really good drink selections, very friendly service, yummy snacks.
Great service but chai latte was too milky, not enough tea and spice. Also coffee tasted burnt...
Ive only tried their coffe once so I cant tell you much about it; I cant bear the wait at the drive thru. Every car takes about 5 minutes so not worth the excessive wait in my opinion.
Nice atmosphere, good food, great coffee and excellent service! Cheers
Chill atmosphere. Great coffee and tasty desserts!
Nice, clean, local coffee shop with hip design & good coffee. Also has a modest selection of locally prepared food & various other non-coffee beverages.
This my favorite coffee shop in Greenville. The coffee and staff are great. They have a great environment for business meetings or just working on a protect.
Delightful, delicious and comfy! You have to try the smores latte!
Ive been here twice - both times I wasnt helped and had to do cartwheels to get someone to notice I was waiting to order. The coffee is just okay, nothing to write home about. I wont be returning.
Great atmosphere! Beautifully designed and furnished! Good coffee 😁
Yummy coffee. Local people
Good atmosphere and the barista was friendly and helpful but the coffee was very sour and undrinkable. I got a Iced Cappuccino which was very sour so I went up and let the barista know and she was very sweet and offered me a different drink so I got the cold brew instead but unfortunately it was also very sour.
Best coffee options and the chai is one the of the best Ive ever had. Convenient location just a minute off Woodruff Rd, great atmosphere and friendly staff.
Love the location, it is easy to get in and out of for a busy schedule. Great lattes and awesome bakery products!
Very nice, locally owned and friendly people
Very cozy coffee shop,well decorated, veery friendly service, clean, good background music, free Wifi, parking lot. I ordered decaf latte.
My favorite coffee shop in the Simpsonville,SC and Greenville, SC area. The coffee is very good, seating areas meet many needs, is comfortable and generous in area . Even better...are the bakery items freshly made at the sister restaurant just down the street. Yummy! Very convenient to I-385 and Woodruff road area.
Very good coffee and great service.
This is a super great location to go get coffee if you’re in the mauldin area! Due South provides all coffee beans and Seasons Catering provides the delicious breads, sandwiches, and desserts. They are now serving wine and beer. This is a great place to get some work done. It has been remodeled and has a nice, eclectic yet cozy feel. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable, and the WiFi is great quality! I recommend the nitro brew coffee.
