Friendly people, delicious food and drinks. Tried the Italian sandwich and tomato gouda soup. So good and large portions!

Never been until today. Really craving 😉 a fruit smoothie and this seemed to be the place to go. Might not have had the flavor I was hoping for but went for something not advertised on their board, mandarin smoothie. I will say, very pleased with the choice! Took me by surprise. It is sooo delicious! AND (wish I would have gotten the drive thru girls name) they really hooked me up with the whipped cream. A good attitude can go a long way. This experience was well worth it and they definitely have my continued business!

Great place to hang out, free Wi-Fi, outdoor seating, good comfort food and coffee drinks

This place doesnt exist anymore, and I hate that fact. They get 1 star for being listed without existing.

Always a great and friendly service; clean facilities.

Disappointed they have deleted all salads and sandwiches from their menu. The cranberry & Walnut chicken salad on croissant was to die for delicious.

Good coffee,got here and we were the only ones in the establishment, quiet very chill cafe,my wife and I will be back

My parents and I really love coffee shops/cafes.Ive been to Crave twice. Overall both times the service and servers/cooks were awesome. I loved the cozy, homey atmosphere the most. The first trip I had the italian sandwich and peach tea. I recommend the sandwich...its great. The 2nd visit I had a frappe. I was also pleased with it.

The staff here is amazing, and they have a great homey atmosphere. In particularly I would like to point out my recent servers Victoria and Colton that had to deal with an extremely fudged up order of mine. They were both very understanding and happily helped me through it. I’d def give more than 5 stars if I could.

We went through the drive through twice on our way through Illinois, both times service was super friendly and made certain or drinks were great! Would definitely recommend and Ill be coming back next time Im passing through!

Really nice little coffee shop in an unlikely part of town. Lots of different drink options as well as bagged coffee, ground or whole bean. The only negative is that their coffee is roasted in Chicago so its not as fresh as it could be but still very good. Baristas were very pleasant.

Very friendly staff, very clean shop.We had a lemon & raspberry cake slice, it’s delicious! The raspberries were fresh and tasty, and the lemon was just fantastic.Would recommend!

The folks behind the counter are cheerful every time Ive been there. Baked goods are delicious and a terrific value (lemon poppy seed muffin for $1!) And the seating area is clean and mellow. There are occasionally gluten free items, though they go quick. Coffees good and much cheaper than Common Grounds. Go here instead.

My favorite coffee place! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Home baked goods are delicious, deli sandwiches are very large and filling for the price. Coffee is nice and smooth. ❤❤

Seemed like a nice place. The employees were friendly. The pastry case looked enticing as well. The building is nondescript but was clean and nice, though the parking was limited. The cappuccino I ordered was well flavored, a good espresso roast I would say, though they did not seem to grasp the concept of dry, however.

Its no Starbucks thats for sure n more expensive

They are are never ready for customers when they open. I have time to wait, but most people are grabbing coffee on their way to work.

Delicious!!! The fresh made bagels and cream cheese is amazing, I love the asiago bagel with veggie cream cheese. I also always get a Spiced Chi Latte! Quite expensive though.

I love using the drive thru here--it can be a few minute wait but worth it! The prices are reasonable, drinks are delicious and the best part is the service. Despite it being busy at times, the staff is always welcoming as soon as they greet you. Definitely love coming through here while running errands in town--thank you!

Their food is great! & theyre always so friendly. Glad they expanded the parking lot.

The best coffee, espresso, and tea in this town is served at Crave. The baked treats are also delicious. What is most appealing is the atmosphere and service. Everything is priced very competitively and they have punch cards.

Ive been here a few times, and always get great service and tasty drinks. But, i had to leave a review for my last visit. I didnt realize they didnt open till 11 on Sundays until I got to the drive through at 10:30. I was about to pull away when a women came to the window. She still served me and was so nice. I would recommend it to anyone who needs an extra pep in their step.

Comparable prices to any other coffee shop. They have a great selection of baked goods, personal favorite is the coconut cream cake. Also have really good soups at lunch time.

Staff seemed overwhelmed even though it was not lunch time yet. I placed my order and 2 ladies behind me placed theirs. They got theirs 1st. Not sure what kind of tea I got but it wasnt the peach I ordered. Lobster bisque was delicious and half sandwich was very generous.

Positive first time experience. Black coffee is excellent. Upbeat staff.

This place is quaint but their coffee/teas and food pack a punch. They have soy and sugar free options.

Was nervous going, but atmosphere was real nice and welcoming. Even brought my grandparents from out of state to get a bite to eat. Always a treat when my wife surprises me with a coffee she picked up from crave.

Always excellent service. Never go anywhere else for my cofee!!

Shout out to Crave!!! Life saver for this momma surprised me with an amazing latte. Thanks for the day starter you guys rock!!!!

Excellent sugar free mocha! Friendly staff and quaint atmosphere. Fun “pup cups” for your dog in the drive thru.

Nice, Christian environment. Good food and quality teas and coffees. Intimate setting for small meetings or hanging out. Table games available.

I love their frappes! sooooo yum. Lovely customer service too and the drive in is very ideal!

Great little place and wonderful friendly staff... Definitely goin back soon 💗

Coffee and environment were very nice. Will visit again!

I love their iced, sugar cookies,& vanilla chai lattes

Unique coffee shop with good drinks and friendly baristras. Free Wi-Fi relaxing atmosphere

Fast and friendly staff. Great looking place and great coffee!

Interesting take on tiramisu! (It has caramel)Nice little coffee shop with a relaxed setting.

Great service, and awesome drinks!

Good coffee, food, and caring staff

We paid $3.50 each for two cappuccino and both tasted like very bitter coffee. Neither one tasted like what we had ordered, French vanilla & hazelnut, all n all it was a rip off in comparison to the $1.50 20 ounce cappuccinos at the Citco on lake land blvd across the street from the Tobacco shop.

Great vibe and friendly staff!! Drinks are average, but good priced...

Inviting atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, fast service, coffee is good quality, wide variety of pastries (muffins are huge and delicious!), competitive pricing. Crave is my new go-to spot!

Beast chicken salad that Ive ever had! Cookies are huge and excellent as well!

Great coffe, great customer service great atmosphere,it is a hidden gem and i have been to alot of coffe shops not just in the state of illinois this ranks up there with one of the best coffe shops i have been to oh yeah, did i mention all the flavors lol

Positive staff willing to please, but lacking some technique hopefully they will develop over time.

Really good coffee, friendly staff. Didnt try food but alot of people got food when I was there. Christian owned coffee shop. Parking at 530 on a Wednesday was kind of difficult, you had to park accross the street and walk over. Something youd know if you came often but first timers wouldnt necessarily know that.

Very nice atmosphere, excellent for sitting alone or with friends to chat. Nice selection of pasteries and of course coffee..Limited parking though.

Great coffe, friendly environment and amazing employees! They are the BEST!

A wonderful place with such nice people and food

Outstanding fraps and coffee drinks. Great food and friendly service.

Alliance Coffee is always amazing!

Wonderful coffee shop...delicious! Great pastries. Friendly staff.

Staff was a bit off putting, I probably wont be going back, but they have a decent food and coffee selection, and the shop itself is quaint.

Love this place! The chicken salad sandwich is delish! The Apple spice chai was scrumptious! :)

Pretty good place to get anything coffee. I will return.

Great Frapes, cakes, sandwiches. Ok pour over, not quite a fully third wave cup but surprisingly good for around here! Solid pricess too

Coffe, hot coco, was wonderful!! Would come again. But parking is lacking on a busy day.

Awesome frappes. Very dog friendly through the drive through.

My kid likes to come here. I dont know much about it.

My Sheepdog loves this place. I have Americano.

Excellent food, good prices, friendly staff

Excellent frappuccino! Only complaint is they were kinda busy and not very friendly!

Thay have nice chairs coffee food and people

Ordered coffee there twice. Both times it tasted like hot water with cream in it. Watered down coffee wont do. Gonna stick with Common Grounds!

Food and coffee are on point!

Feel good atmosphere! Love it

Great coffee and service, however the only down sides are the drive-thru is very slow and the weird/inconvenient parking areas.

Amazing place and great for a local coffee date

Slow service, all the espresso drinks Ive had all taste very heavy of sugar and cream, the coffee is nothing special, this place is friendly and is a great place to grab a pastry and chill

Very good selection.

Best coffee in mattoon.
