Excellent Turkish Coffee! You have to try the Crave Bar, its a house specialty. The baristas are friendly and theyre always busy, dont feel upset if they dont give you undivided attention. The place is vibrant and artistic. Its a place for biz meetings, to chat w/ friends, and to enjoy an excellent cup of coffee. If youre a local or visiting Tucson you have to visit Crave.
Had a wonderful experience early this evening at your delightful cafe❤️ Your staff is wonderful! Ordered an ice coffee & it was sooo good. One of your team members told me that the pastries were made by the owner. One look at them & ordered several to share with friends.The taste was perfect and not so sugary. Carefully made with ❤️. Posted my experience and you have some of my friends coming in to get turned on to the Crave experience.
First time customer and I will definitely be going back. When I buy coffee to go I always frequent the big coffee chain stores, BUT not anymore. I love that Craves menu is simple and its about quality. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about their products. The prices are reasonable for the quality of products that they offer.
Run by a Turkish couple. Unique in that in addition to pastries, they have a breakfast sandwich til 11 am. If you come after 11, they have a chicken salad croissant. Best breakfast sandwich ever. Lovely ambience and cappuccinos. Reasonably priced.
Good coffee, nice atmosphere, and everyone needs to try their honey cake.
This place is great! The staff is really friendly and the coffee is fantastic. Crave offers free wifi and lots of outlets (to charge devices). It’s usually packed in the mornings, but they do their best to encourage social distancing. The food is tasty, it’s always clean, the atmosphere is great and the coffee shop itself is spacious. This isn’t a place to study though because it can get very noisy. Definitely recommend!
Very pleasant hang out spot with friends for talks and a drink. Staff is super nice
I really do love it here. Best lattes I’ve ever tasted. Great studying place.
I was skipped by two people, the couple behind me received two coffees and meals. I only ordered one cold coffee and danish.. I walked up and asked if I was forgotten and they said no it’s coming… um 3 people were served in the meantime. Really!! Be honest and say yes we forgot your order SORRY!! Not, no we didn’t it’s coming because now it’s just saying “we don’t care about your order”..come on three people served full orders and I’m still waiting with a baby in arms. Very disappointing. Now I don’t trust the quality of coffee because it was probably rushed🤦🏻♂️
Best frappe in existence. I know that theyre a ridiculous thing to drink, basically a coffee flavored milkshake (especially when I get whipped cream and chocolate on top...) but man, are they good! I cant even be bothered with any other frappe in town after theirs. Dutch Bros? Milky garbage. Starbucks? Sugary sludge. Theres none better, and it really is more coffee-like so it gets you a caffeine boost with the sugar rush. Their more normal offerings are supurb too, especially latte and mocha. I love the convenience of the little drive thru, and the staff are so cool and nice.
I live the laid back feel of crave. Beautiful baristas in long dresses. It’s a vibe
Crave is a delightful local coffee shop, the perfect place to chill and have a conversation, bury yourself in a book, or spend time writing. The staff are friendly without being overbearing and the prices are reasonable.The nitro cold brew is great, as is the baklava!
I come in weekly.Very nice staff, hipster/cool kid decor, every drink I’ve had has been excellent (though I tend to order the same two beverages over and over). Pleasant environment for couples or small groups.They expanded to providing evening and alcoholic beverages but I have only been there in the mornings.
Everything is tasty, the music is never annoying, and the staff is efficient/polite/nice.The atmosphere is an odd mix of kitsch, rustic, and industrial but its unique and not pretentious. Also, best scone Ive ever had (I tried the rhubarb and Ill be back to try the other flavors)!
Best coffee in AZWas really happy to find out they were Albanian where my ancestors are from .
Excellent coffee. Super friendly and cool staff. The place is so chill and relaxing, I like to go there for studying and working all the time.
A perfect local coffee shop. Baked treats are wonderful. Love the breakfast sandwich. Atmosphere is so quaint. Would highly recommend.
A nice place to have great coffee. The restaurant is very nice and has a chill vibe. Coffee is extremely flavorful. Will return.
Friendly staff, good atmosphere and reasonably prices. Ill definitely be going back.
This business does not do well in protecting customers during the pandemic. Many people were maskless while walking around and the owner did nothing. The included photo shows an example a person who has been talking to a tall guy (who I assumed to be the owner of the shop) for 15 minutes without a mask on, right near the espresso machine and some of the clean cups.
Crave is easily one of my favorite coffee shops in Tucson. In fact, this is one of the few coffee shops in the state that offers siphon brewing! The large space is the perfect atmosphere for hanging around, chatting, or getting work done. Plus, the owners have safely adapted it for physical distancing! With good food and tea selections as well, you can’t go wrong with Crave!
Love Crave coffe bar! Spectacular coffee and wonderful friendly service and cute inside! Ill keep coming back ❤
I like crave very much I find that their coffees are quite good the place is comfortable and they actually have longer hours open until the evening.
Great coffee and atmosphere! Large space so you can try to find a seat for yourself even on busy days. Chai is on the weak side and tables aren’t always cleaned after someone leaves.
I started coming here in December and have been back five times since on trips to Tucson. There is ample space and the lattes are great. Baklava is pretty tasty too.
My new favorite spot in Tucson. Excellent coffees and plenty of seats to bring your laptop and do some work.
Always like crave. Nice varied menu, friendly efficient staff. As always, some of the patrons can be creepy or selfish but thats not craves fault.
☕️🍪😁My wife 👩says the coffee here is amazing and so are the desserts. And my wife is never wrong. Lol. ❤️The drive-through 🚘is fast and easy and there is a big parking lot at the shopping center. My wife 👩said she quit going to Starbucks drive-through a long time ago and now she goes to crave. My wife Sarah👩 says that crave is her go to coffee ☕️stop and she knows her coffee. Very reasonable prices 💵excellent coffee ☕️outstanding service every time. Keep up the good job crave coffee. 🙏😁🌟✌️👍☕️🍩🍪☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️🥇🏆
Very nice place. Staff is not out going at all.
Love it everytime Im there. Awesome staff, owners, and establishment!
Nice folks. Good coffee
My favorite coffee place. I really like the ppl and the chicken sandwich! Its not a library, but its a great environment to study or do work.
With Shot in the Dark being out of business, this place has become my new favorite coffee joint in Tucson.Excellent coffee that has a noticeable taste difference over anywhere else in town. Relaxing, comfortable environment that is always super clean. Staff is excellent at all they do. Pretty cool theyve had live music here some nights Ive gone as well.Head here if you like coffee and good times.
This place is fast and friendly. Milk alternatives are in point, but a straight mocha is perfection.Will totally be back
Top3 in tucson for sure! I would rate them #1 !!!!!!!! awesome staff! Great creative coffee lists and they are super trendy and personable! Literally no complaints or suggestions! Im sooo obsessed with this place and tucson should be too!!!! My fav drink is the honey cinnamon latte🤎🤎🤎
The barissta ( I didnt think to ask her name because Im a bad person) was very knowledgeable about the products that are offered. Such as blue matcha. It is possible that its just me who does not know (or didnt know) what blue match a is, but thought it was interesting. I wont try to explain it. Youll just have to visit Crave yourself to glean this information and more.
Their chai taste nothing like chai, it tastes more like orchata. Their coffee is on the weak side..
Love it here, great spot. Super friendly
Delicious! Fast drive thru service as well
The coffee is not my favorite but its a good spot for studying.
Crave is one of my favorite coffee shops in Tucson. They offer great espresso drinks, hot chocolate, and tea in a cozy, relaxed environment. There is plenty of space to study, read, chat with friends, or relax in an armchair while watching a movie. You will often find the place bustling, though never so busy you cant find a seat, which gives it the feel of a community meeting spot full of friends. This combines with reasonable prices and quick, friendly service for an awesome experience.
Good little coffee shop. My only thing is the prices at this place are a little high. The environment is very chill though and they are dietary friendly!
Great service. Owner remembered me after one visit. Very pleasant.
Followed. Busy with the young crowd due to free WIFI. not much outdoor seating
Love their setup and its so great that they have good beer. The owners are fantastic and warm people and they hire great employees too!
Saw a barista prepare my drink without a mask. Their employees don’t seem to care about our towns mask mandate or the health of their customers.
Great place.
Their coffee and pumpkin bread are delicious! They could improve on their daytime ambience. My friend and I sat outside because it was such a beautiful day and offered more privacy than inside.Ill likely be a repeat customer.
Crave is the most classy and my favorite coffe shop in town. Very good atmosphere for work, studying, meetings, and socializing. Coffee beans are roasted in house, creating an amazing aroma as soon as you enter the door.
This place is amazing. The coffee and food are top notch. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. Prices arent bad. The staff is friendly regardless of your will of life. This is always my go to to meet with friends.
I like this place, but the only milk alternatives they offer are soy and almond. Believe it or not, some people dont have either of those for health reasons, its not just about allergies, soy is hard on those of us with endocrine problems and almond milk is hard on those of us who have viruses. I wish they would offer coconut milk. So many other places have it. God forbid they use a slightly bigger refrigerator!
Some of the best coffee and also the decaf fraps are really great! Staff here are very nice and accommodating.
I LOVE coming here. The coffee is amazing and you can tell they are expertly and carefully crafted. I got the brie and ham crepe today too and it was amazing! The carrot cake is also super yummy. The environment is funky and cool and although I live 40 minutes away, this is ALWAYS my choice for coffee dates :)
Just go there, okay? Youll do it again.
Years later, this place is still legit. Plenty of plugins, fair amount of seating, and good coffee. Cant forget the awesome people running the place too!
Have fantastic baklava
This is one of my favorite places. The owners are wonderful & their love of what they do shows in the quality of their drinks, pastries, and vibe. Support local always - but this place truly deserves your attention! Check it out - you will not be disappointed.
First visit today and last. We purchased 11 different items. One 1 out of 11 was acceptable. That was the Tres Leches cake. All your other donut products were some of the worst tasting Ive ever had. Everything tasted bland and very commercial. So disgusting. Total waste of $20.
Always friendly. Always space to sit and do a little work between appointments or to meet clients. A few weeks ago went with my son and we sat and chatted over coffee. I looked around at everyone there. such a great and easy environment. I recommend Crave to anyone needing a moment and some delish coffee or quick bites. I am gluten-free. So usually stick with just the coffee, but have been with others who enjoy the pastries.
The environment is warm and cozy and relaxing. A group of my friends love to come here often for writing and art and meeting up. They need more larger tables though and thicker cushions for some of the harder chairs and benches. Their sandwhiches are excellent though.
Owners are extremely kind and hard-working. This place is awesome and is only improving with time as they continue to adjust their decor and menu options. Their breakfast sandwich is my personal favorite and the coffee is fantastic!
Best coffee in Tucson! I drive very far every day to get this coffee because it is always the same! They are so consistent and friendly! I would highly recommend
Best coffee
Excellent coffee (best in town, IMO) and pastries are complimented by the friendly service. The shop is open and comfortable and its a great place to sit and get some administrative work done that I cant do in the car in between appointments. Solid 5/5. Coming from L.A. originally, this place would give any coffee house a run for its money where the competition is steep. Just go. You wont be disappointed.
I dont leave reviews much but This place deserves more then 5 stars .This is my favorite place in town. I love the energetic environment .Beautiful decoration and amazing people . Every time Im there they bring a smile to my face. I think everything is delicious and I recommend it to everyone.
Some good pastries
Perfect place and perfect people 💙, the taste of baklava with coffee will give you enough energy to start the day, i also like the fresh sandwiches with a glass of wine . If you are lucky you’ll be there when crave has live music session and drink plenty of cold beers 💛
Comfortable, cozy coffee joint with great atmosphere. The breakfast sandwich was delicious and so was the coffee. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend Crave for a morning cup of coffee ☕
It is very laid back and easy to unwind or start your day here. Great food and drink menu. Owners are very helpful and full of knowledge. Have had just about everything on the drink menu and was never let down. Crepes are amazing.
Great cup of joe. Clean. Great service.
The owner is a super nice guy and the staff is super friendly! The coffee and tea is amazing and their turkey and ham sandwich is to die for! Also, I love the atmosphere!EDIT: I tried their breakfast sandwich today and I was blown away! It was the most delicious, unique breakfast sandwich I have ever had!
Great coffee and pastries! They even have sandwiches and wine. Very cool vibe with plenty of seating.
This is my favorite cafe in Tucson. There are many different beverages to choose from, including beer and wine. Seating is comfortable. The desserts are made in-house, so theyre always fresh. The baristas and owners are all lovely people who put up with my silliness. See you soon!
Is super nice little Cafe on Tucson, my favorite one o wish they have one in Phoenix. Is so cozy, you can come with your friends and hang out here. But surprise.... they also have brewery.
Friendly baristas making delicious coffee.The place has a nice atmosphere.
