Crave cafe was amazing! The restaurant was easy to find, once on the campus we simply followed the signs to parking area and walked down a few steps into the cafe. We were greeted immediately by a friendly cashier who explained everything on the menu including the daily soups, desserts, and drinks. I tried the Crave club with pasta salad and my spouse tried the Crave burger with fries which is new. All the food was fresh, high-quality and very tasty! I am a club sandwich connoisseur and Crave Club is my new favorite!! The burger came on a potato bun with all the fixings and the fries are slightly seasoned, it was like a homemade burger made by mom (which my spouse highly favors). Lastly, the place was cozy with cute farmhouse decor and it was SO clean. I even made about how good it smelled and how clean everything looked! We can't wait to come back again! read more

We tried several items from the food truck while attending Shakespeare at Central Park Lines were long as only one guy was manning the order taking, the register, and the grill for almost an hour before another person showed up to assist. Menu is limited and more Tex Mex than what we'd anticipated from a prior visit to the brick and mortar location in the past. Food was okay (photo attached), but not anything that prompts me to do a repeat visit. Giving an extra star because they gave me a free bottle of water since it wasn't cold. Nice people! read more

don't be fooled it's it a retirement home however the food was very good. we went on a roadtrip pictures online were pretty misleading

The sandwich was okay but the loaded potato soup was out of this world!!!! I got half and half and wowwww, I'm so glad I got the soup. It was insanely good, even writing this review I'm craving more. It was flavorful and a good balance between liquid and yummy potato chunks. Sandwich was okay, could have made it at home. But the soup I couldn't have made at home. I also got a lemon bar which was good but nothing to write home about! read more

If you're looking for some place that's "souper," Crave Cafe is it! For a recent lunchtime team call for work, we were directed to buy some soup from a local restaurant to show off on Zoom. Lucky for me, Crave Cafe is three blocks or so from my house. It had been a bit since I last visited, but my recent experience lived up to my previous ones. I ordered via phone the "Souper Fecta," which is 6 oz. portions of three soups of the day. This day's soups happened to be chili, tomato basil and seafood chowder. This tasting portion was perfect. It was just enough of each to make it fun. The tomato basil was my favorite. While a simple soup, it had some depth to it. The chili had a bit of heat to it, and the seafood chowder had a few chunks of seafood deliciousness in it. I was able to pick up a few minutes after putting in my order via their side window, which they've outfitted with plexiglass to keep customer and staff separate. And even better, the parking spots in front of this restaurant were open, making parking for a few minutes very easy. Crave Cafe is a key lunch spot. Don't overlook it! read more

This restaurant is fine but certainly not anything I'd write home about. It's a small, quaint space but there isn't typically a wait for a table. The food was fine- primarily sandwiches and salads. My chicken salad sandwich was ok although so saucy it was a bit much. There are other places I'd drop by in the area before I'd return here.The service is fantastic though! Everyone is so friendly. read more

I came here and got a sandwich, it was okay. The weather was beautiful that day so we ate outside on some picnic benches they had outback. The staff wasn't rude or anything but they weren't stellar, they were efficient and that is all I really want. I really don't remember much from the visit beside the place being okay. read more

They have new addition to menu. I had the cheeseburger and fries. Both were outstanding.Burger was huge and tasty.The fries was house Maded and crispy outside with inside fresh and creamy. Service was friendly and very helpful!! Thanks so much!! read more

Not the most friendly and welcoming place to dine, but I didn't care too much since I went to just grab a quick bite and go. Ordered a pick two 1/2 Anabel's Oriental sandwich and a cup of chicken noodle soup. The tuna salad wasn't anything great; what made the sandwich was the wasabi mayo dressing they gave you on the side to put on it. The chicken noodle soup had a weird tasting broth and a little on the salty side. Place looked a little run down & old and the decor was odd. I would rather frequent a chain lunch place like Jason's Deli or McAlister's instead. read more

My friend loves this place and comes a lot during her lunch break. My sister and I were happy to join her Thursday at noon for lunch to try it out. When we stepped in, it was about empty. Only two others were dining in. As we sat longer, it got a bit busier but not without a few tables still open. Most patrons were about my grandparents age. The place seems to be like The Cafe, a hidden gem of Louisville that has been around a while. Still, I saw a few people who came in who looked like they work around here. It's inside a house and the decor and ambience reminded me of a cafe I'd find in a small town. Loved all the farm animal pictures! Service was good and quick! The lady was nice. I'm sure target have regulars who come here. I got me a Reuben sandwich with sweet tea. The tea was a bit watery, but I did like the Reuben. Not too heavy on the sauerkraut or the thousand island dressing. My friend loves getting Joe's special. It's a popular choice here. Grilled chicken with Swiss and bacon. My sister got the Guido sandwich. Grilled chicken with pesto and mozzarella. They both thought the food is alright, but I thought it was pretty good! I love sandwiches and I know a good one when I see it. They've got a good variety if you want more than just the typical turkey or chicken salad. They've got parking out back, but I had no idea and had no trouble finding parallel. I'm open to returning! Wouldn't mind trying more stuff on the menu. read more

We went for lunch for the first time since Crave moved locations. All three of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the service was great. We will return. One note...we all missed the WILBUR sandwich! read more

I really love their cobb salad and any of their sandwiches are hot and hit the spot! This place is really quaint and an easy to-go order in walking distance to my house. Check Crave Cafe out if you want to support local! read more

Stopped in again with some family and still a great little spot. Varied menu, friendly service, unique dining atmosphere and food quality warrant this solid rating. I stuck with my original selection - the Joe's special ($9) and enjoyed it again. It was lighter portion of chicken but very generous on the bacon - would probably like it the other way around a little better. read more

I'm from NKY and my son goes to physical therapy 3x a week at Frazier Uof L . While he's doing his thing I have been checking out the town and this restaurant cafe was fabulous! Home made soups were superb and their selection of hot and cold sandwiches were amazing! Service was quick. There's an alley behind the building that leads to a parking lot behind the building. Order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I will definitely go back!! read more

We stopped for lunch and it smelled so good when you walked in the door. So much to choose from that it was a hard choice. I got a cup of soup and it was so good, I may just go there for soup it's so good! I got a Ruben and the flavors were great, but it was so soggy from frying it that it drenched my basket. It had great flavor but could have used less time on the grill. I may get a cold sandwich so it's not fried but it was good. read more

Yum!!!! Food and service is always great. Love the Joe's Special Sammie. Thanks to my sister for introducing me to this amazing cafe.

Order the T.B.S and chips to-go. Delicious. Exceptional service. Will definitely order from here again read more

Wow... Just Wow! My husband and I tried Crave Cafe as we are in the area. We each had the South of the Border Wrap. The flavor is incredible. My husband who never makes a point to tell people how good their food is (or isn't) made sure to tell our server how great the wrap is. Sandwiches and wraps are large and could potentially be split - but after my first bite, I was so glad it was mine all mine! If you like Stevens and Stevens you will also love this place! read more

We've been to Crave many times and I can't believe I am just now writing this review. Short version: GO. The service is relaxed and friendly, the location is convenient, and the food is truly outstanding. We recently went for lunch on a Saturday. Pro tip: street parking on Frankfort can be a pain, but they have a decent size parking lot off the alley around back. You order at the counter, but you should definitely take note of the three soups they're serving that day. They rotate through many different kinds and every single one I've tried has been a winner. On this particular visit I got a pick two: a cup of creamy chicken and asparagus soup a half of a Leave it to Beefer sandwich. Now I have to say that I pretty rarely order soup out because it just isn't my thing, but the creamy soups here are the stuff dreams are made of. I mean, if your dreams include impossibly smooth, thick, luscious, and incredibly flavorful soup. Also, the cup is a pretty generous serving. The sandwich I had is served on toasted rye, well dressed and sauced but not overly done, and as you can see from my pics is a generous helping of both kinds of beef. All the sandwiches are pretty large and I cannot fathom anyone leaving hungry! The soup always comes with crackers and the sandwiches come with chips and a pickle, though to be honest I don't usually bother with the chips. The space inside is a bit tight, but it's always clean and tidy. I also just can't say enough about the awesome staff who work there. They recognize somewhat regular customers, are so kind, and so quick to make you feel at home. This is the kind of casual lunch place that makes you proud to be from Louisville! read more

Stopped in for lunch while kicking around the Clifford area of Louisville. What a pleasant surprise! The food is all homemade and delicious. The interior is a through back to another era with plenty of room. We ate outside due to the pleasant weather. Their signage is small so you may miss it. Keep looking for it since your search will be rewarded with a piece of culinary heaven. read more

The sandwiches are awesome! We got The Big Hog, Sweetie Pie Chicken Salad, and Anabel's Oriental (tuna salad) sandwiches. And the soups, oh my! We got the chicken chili and the broccoli cheddar mac and cheese. The people are so friendly. We're from Florida, and we'll be back. read more

I am a huge fan of deli food and WOW, does Crave deliver! This was my first (but will NOT be my last!) visit and I wanted to try so many of the items from the menu. I looked around and everyone's food looked so delicious. I finally chose the 'Pimp my Cheddar'- a most delicious homemade pimento cheese (with pecans!) and a bowl of the broccoli-cheddar soup that was better than any I have ever had. Talk about comfort food!! The restaurant has a cozy, homey feel and the staff were super pleasant. Since the day was so gorgeous, we opted to eat outdoors. I will be going back; OFTEN!! read more

Crave is excellent for both catering, and as a quick lunch spot. Bonus to ample outdoor seating in the nice weather! I had eaten at Crave in the past when they had catered a luncheon that I attended. The memory of their savory flavors always stayed with me, and it was on my list of places to check out "in person" (read: at their brick-and-mortar location) at some point. Well, today -- beautiful weather and all -- was that day. A friend and I had some free time at lunch and decided to check the joint out. After popping inside to order (note: enter at the side door, not the front, as I attempted to and failed miserably, to the amusement of diners indoors), we took a seat outside on the side walk near Frankfort Ave. Several very short minutes later, our salads were delivered. We had deliberated on what to order, but both went with the recommendation of the employee there and chose Kentucky Cobb salads. A bed of fresh lettuce was covered with rows of bleu cheese, sliced turkey, avocado, tomato, and eggs. Each bite was full of crunch from the lettuce and flavor from the various toppings. The portion size was generous for the cost ( less than $8 including tax), and we left full and happy. Crave is a great place to add to your list of places to try, especially with the possibility of outdoor dining this beautiful time of year! read more

I have had food from the Crave a GoGo truck three times. Each time they come to my work I have to at least get their pasta salad, it's simply amazing. It has bowtie pasta swimming in (what I think) a ranch style dressing with broccoli, cheese cubes, and red pepper. The first two times I ate their food I got the crave wrap. It's really good. Today I had SOB (South of the border) wrap. OMG it blew my taste buds away. This wrap is simply the best wrap I have ever eaten. It has grilled chicken, spicy ranch, jack cheddar cheese, red onion, red bell pepper, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and tortilla strips in a tomato wrap. OMG!  I'm looking forward to when they come back! read more

Such a good spot. I discovered it when I was driving down Frankfort one afternoon. Soups, salads, and sandwiches are my favorite kind of meal so I was excited to try it. It definitely did not disappoint! They have a great selection of food and you can mix and match. Probably one of the best tomato soups in town! If you're in the mood for some cozy food - I would definitely recommend! read more

How did I not know about this place?!?! I'm always down for a sandwich and some soup. Crave's soup is some of the best I've had in Louisville! They have a pick two options where you can get a cup of soup and half a sandwich. I usually do that with their Lexington. I'm trying to make my way through the menu, but the Lexington keeps calling me back in! They have so many sandwich options it will take me a while to try them all. Check them out!! read more

This restaurant is fantastic. Food is amazing, and staff is even better. I wanted to get 1/2 chicken salad wrap with 1/2 a soup, but was told that they could not do 1/2 of a wrap. I decided I would just order a whole wrap and side of soup, but the young woman working offered me a soup on the house. SO KIND. Then my party forgot he wanted to order himself a cup of soup, so she gave us a second soup on the house. Not only that, but my guest basically built his own sandwich because he wasn't sure what he wanted. The worker was so kind and helped him choose what he might like in his sandwich until he had decided on a meal. Everything was delicious! All the great things about a classic cafe styled lunch, plus local! read more

I work at the barbershop down the road, and typically bring my own lunch to work but every now and then when I don't feel liking packing it, I go here to get lunch. This place is without a doubt the best place in Clifton to grab a quick and delicious bite to eat. The ingredients are all quality and the workers are extremely nice. My favorite is the south of the boarder wrap, but I've practically had everything on this menu and not once did it disappoint me. Can't go wrong with this place! read more

I was craving a sandwich over the weekend, so I decided to try a sandwich shop, which, coincidentally, is called Crave Cafe. It's located on the same strip as some of the best restaurants in Louisville, so unfortunately, I kept looking past this place, and I paid dearly for it. From the minute I walked in, I knew this place was legit. There's a sign above the counter, essentially telling you that if you're not ready to order, back up. I decided on the Crave Club, approached the counter and the guy taking our order was lightning quick, barely looking up as he handed us our cups and gave us a total. The sandwiches came out, and they were delicious. I'm not a fan of "piled high" meat on meat on meat, but this one was worth it. The environment is what you would expect from a sandwich shop. It's bigger than it appeared on the outside, but very cozy and welcoming. Will be going back soon. read more
