We stopped on our way to the airport around 10am and they were wiped clean of everything. We got some breakfast sandwiches on gluten free bread. I got the whole hog and hubby got the Northshore. Both delicious 😋. Than we bought the last 2 cupcake flavors carrot cake and cookie dough. Carrot cake was super moist and very tasty with cream cheese frosting. The cookie dough was ok a little on the drier side.

Breakfast sandwich (the crave) was so yummy, just what you need to get moving in the am. (If you dont like spicy food then pass because the bread its spicy)Also the steak and eggs on pita is delicious.!Must get a coffee too.Customer service was superb.!👍👍

Cool little shop with interesting and tasty breakfast sandwiches. Id recommend calling in your food order 15-20 minutes early and arranging pickup, since they can get busy at times and its a very small shop. Pastries are delicious and the coffee offerings were excellent as well!

The Northshore breakfast sandwich is the most delicious I ever had.Everything is just right.. the croissant, the bacon, the eggs…The best part for me is the eggs. They’re cooked perfectly! Can’t wait for them to move in the new location where we can seat, eat and enjoy.

Wish I lived nearby just for this. The best breakfast sandwich you’ll ever have in your life. Coffee extraordinary too. Perfect way to start a road trip.

Wicked good coffee. If you like the grunge scene, youll love them! Their cold brew is maybe the best Ive ever had and the almond croissant was flakey with just the right amount of sweet! Confectionery perfection!

We were visiting from out of town and looking for a quick breakfast. Loved this place! Staff super welcoming and friendly. Best iced chai latte Ive ever had. Breakfast sandwich was delicious too! All the baked goods looked amazing. Cant wait to go back!

Food was great (although they use the term candied bacon a bit loosely, tasted like regular bacon with syrup poured over it; which of course is delicious but was missing the texture of a candied bacon) and the coffee was great!But the wait time... not sure if we happened to catch them on a bad day but we were quoted about an hour for 2 sandwiches which on its own was off-putting, but then ended up waiting an additional 20 minutes. Would go back for the food, but would need to make sure I have a morning cleared to be able to commit.

Great breakfast sandwich however one sausage egg and cheese on a croissant was nine dollars, ouch.

Ate here twice during our stay in Beverly. Great coffee shop and little bakery. We had the Northshore sandwich twice, lattes twice, chai teas twice, and then one Nutella croissant, one blueberry cheese croissant, and one maple bacon croissant. So good! The croissants are huge and full of filling. Wish I had thought to take pics.

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries. The prices are on the high side but everything is made from quality ingredients. My husband keeps asking to go back!

Delicious bakes made in-house. Cakes are awesome for special occasions. Cupcakes and croissants. People love the breakfast sandwiches, too.

Absolutely delicious. By far best breakfast sandwiches in Beverly or Danvers. Probably the entire North Shore. Well worth the 9 dollars by far.

Very nice! Had the homemade Ham and cheese croissant and a matcha latte. Would definitely recommend/ go again

Review №19

I liked my carrot cake scone more than the sandwich I got. Maybe I just got the wrong sandwich? The other pastries looked amazing too. The service was not really to my liking, but maybe it was because I was new here and a lot of people seemed to be returning customers.

Awesome gluten free breakfast sandwich..Good quality fresh foodThey had delicious looking treats some gluten free options. Unfortunately for me they use a mix flour containing almond flour..Cute little store & they do have an option to order ahead or online I believe

Excellent place to order a coffee and a treat. We stumbled upon this place while looking up the best coffee places in the area and Crave did not disappoint. We ordered a regular coffee, vanilla latte and had a cinnamon swirl scone and they were all delicious. The vanilla latte was appropriately flavored and the scone was tasty. We went there at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and the scone still tasted very fresh. Our total bill was ~$10 so much cheaper than anyplace in Boston. The menu was extensive as they offered a number of sandwiches, treats and specialty drinks. We’ll definitely take a visit back to Crave to test out more treats and other drinks!

Review №26

I used to come in a couple times a week. The croissant breakfast sandwiches are A+++ terrific, as are the pastries. I have had some minor challenges with receiving correct orders and some unfavorable breakfast meat. Nobodys perfect. Occasionally some of the staff members come off as antagonistic . Which is why I do not come in as often as I once did. I like to start my day off knowing it will be in a friendly way 😉

An hour and thirty minutes for a sandwich I can get anywhere else? No thank youOtherwise the pastries are amazing. :)Update: I appreciate their response to my review, so Ill give them another star for caring about their customers.

First time for 5 of us. We had several kinds of the breakfast sandwiches. All were absolutely amazing. I had the Northshore, OMG!!! Definitely worth the money, Cant wait to go back and try the rest.

Review №29

Great lattes! Definitely try a filled croissant! I would recommend the Northshore sandwich because everything about it was great, however, the super floppy, super undercooked, super rubbery bacon ruined it. Id probably try it again but ask for cooked bacon next time.

Genuienly one of my favorite eateries in the area. Amazing, amazing breakfast sandwiches that my whole family love. Super good pastries and cupcakes. I take my mom there a lot and she loves it. Also, great great chai. Beware, during covid the wait times have been wildly long, and I havent been able to order in the cafe itself. But I love Crave, its the best.

Review №36

Excellent food and coffee; staff are always helpful and enthusiastic; well-organized social-distancing practices. I was originally referred here by my car mechanic (down the street), who insisted that I had to show proof of buying a carrot-cake cupcake before he would work on my vehicle again. He was right-- the place is that good.

Favorite place on the north shore! Food and coffee are exceptional. Great taste with clean ingredients. Gluten free friendly. The staff are wonderful. Food and service are exceptionally consistent. While seating is offered, its limited. Worst part is that there’s no public restroom for customers.

I have enjoyed their flavorful sandwiches in the past. Lately, I have found them to be somewhat underwhelming? Maybe theres less sauce or maple on the bacon or less of something? I dont know, but its noticeable...

Review №43

Wonderful sandwiches. The maple aioli on the Northshore is especially delicious. Crave used to have a cozy dine-in setting, but its adapted well for operation during the pandemic with a speaker outside announcing which orders are ready. The number of customers inside at one time is limited and there is no indoor seating. Its always a treat to visit due to how yummy it is

CUPCAKES ARE TO DIE FOR. I like the lattes and my partner doesn’t like the drip coffee at all. To each their own. Location is cute! Parking is fine. Can’t remember if they have WiFi. Clean place!

TRY THIS PLACE!!!! The breakfast sandwiches are absolutely amazing. I also love their lemonade (I dont drink coffee but it smells delicious)! I want to point out how excellent their customer service was. I cant remember the last time someone was this friendly to me at an establishment. I also made a recommendation to include fruit on the menu for my kiddos and he was so welcoming and happy with the recommendation! Not just great food, UNBELIEVABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! : )

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Crave. I will plan my commute so I “have to drive by” and get a GF breakfast sandwich. The customer service is always great and their food is amazing. I feel fortunate to have this as a GF option in my town!

Review №57

Was really impressed with this find! I got the northshore, all I have to say is wow, I did not think a breakfast sandwich would pack the bang that this one did. Some may say the prices are high (like I did when I paid) but it was worth every dollar. I even have some of the sandwich left on my shirt, the egg yolk busted all in my beard and down my shirt.

Review №59

Been meaning to try this place since moving to Beverly and just had my first experience. I figured if there is always a line it’s gotta be good! WRONG! What a miserable experience. They lost my ticket which ended up making me wait for over 35 minutes to pick up my order. The sandwich had to be prepared again and they didn’t even get it close to what I ordered. Next up the beverages, they got one right (tea, so nothing impressive) and the other had the wrong milk option, was missing the flavor I ordered and god only knows if they added the extra espresso shot I ordered. I will not be back and Crave can keep their branded excessive packaging. Just go to What’s Brewin’ you’ll be greeted with a smile and a correct order every time.

Review №63

Got there and order too coffees and was told to wait outside until our number called. Waited 25 min and then walked inside to ask about the order and was given attitude and told we were told to come in when we got to the store and that our order was ready and waiting on the counter. We were just trying to respect the signs outside and keep them safe. If he didnt give me attitude i would come back here because i understand mistakes are made. Go to coffee time bake shop instead, best coffee and pastries and BEST customer service.

Yummy food but overpriced for what you get. Expect to pay $30 for 2 sandwiches and 2 drinks. I ask for avacado on my sandwich and they have forgotten three times out of four recently. Food and drinks are good tho, so its worth trying.

Come on people! This was the best, freshest breakfast sandwich(pita) of my life! This place takes great pride in amazing service and even more amazing ingredients. When I ordered my iced tea, they explained that they cold brew it for 12 hours. It was such a wonderful flavor. Very floral in a way. Charming staff. Comfortable setting. We will be back!PS.

Ive been unhappily gluten free for over 7 years. This has been one of the best GF experiences Ive had in that time. I got the Crave sandwich and the bread was this Delicious crispy round bread that seemed to have herbs in it. Some kind of fancy cheese, eggs and hot pepper jelly. It was savory and scrumptious. I also got a peppermint bark cupcake and it was seriously one of the best GF baked goods Ive ever had. It was heaven. Thank you Crave!!
