    Latte
    Sarah M.

    We snuck in here on a Saturday morning- grabbed a couple coffees and chai lattes. Coffee was pretty good. The only milk alternatives they have are oat and almond. On the weekends they don't serve their lunch menu- only breakfast items and they close at 12:30 so keep that in mind. They have plenty of seating, wifi, and a single unisex bathroom. Parking is free right in front of the coffee shop. Service was friendly and music was good!

    Coffee & Brunch at Church? Spirituality & Gastronomy! Routine & Ritual! This is a very unique concept! Tall ceilings with an open space offered tons of natural sunlight! It would be a fantastic place to work for thThe architecture was awesome to soak in while ordering and waiting! We had the Hill Breakfast Sandwich with eggs and pesto. It was delicious!

    Perfect coffee!

    10 stars for the ambiance! But all I had was a coffee to go, so don't feel qualified to give them a 5 star rating yet. Need to come back and have some FOOD here! Service was efficient and friendly. Price seemed reasonable to me.

    Great study environment. In addition to great drinks, the food is also great. Drinks are served with a smile! I enjoyed my matcha latte and blueberry scone. Tip- on weekends they serve breakfast menu only

    pesto quinoa salad so good
    Heer S.

    Been to crave at least once every month or two for the past few years because i go to school one minute away. Most of these stars are for the vibes. it's such a dreamy vibe inside with high ceilings and glass stained windows, it's really beautiful. it's a converted church space so a lot of that architecture is still present. i would say it's a bit too loud for like serious studying but i would still go there to do some reviewing and such. drinks -- they have such a wide variety of seasonal drinks and their flavor combinations are always so impressive. if i'm paying $7 for a latte, i'd rather pay for one where lots of effort went into the flavor profile! Definitely check out their tea selections too. food -- i have tried both their breakfast and lunch and both have been great. today i got chipotle chicken sandwich with goat cheese instead of provolone and was yummy. i've gotten all of their salads (their fall one is so so good) (so is the pesto quinoa although i think this was seasonal). their chicken caesar is also good- have def gotten repeats of it and we all know i'm picky ab my caesar salads!!

    Berries and Cream Latte with Oatmilk
    Lucy S.

    I've been to Crave a bunch of times and can't believe I've never reviewed it! Great place to study on the SLUSOM campus, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I really like the music that they play too! I usually get a berries and cream latte with oatmilk, but have also gotten a sandwich once in a while. The chipotle chicken sandwich is a fan favorite and is very tasty! There's some limited parking in the back-- depending on the day it can get pretty crowded. Prices are not cheap, but also not crazy expensive. If you're in the area I'd definitely check it out!

    I visited this coffee shop this morning to check out a "new coffee" shop I've never been to. The space itself is spacious, with the intention that during rush hour, college students would come here to do their school work, during lunch, or whenever they have things to do (school-related). The space could accommodate an influx of students. As someone who is not actively doing school work or any work that requires me to use my laptop or iPad, this is an okay place to see and experience. I think it is an old church turned into a modern coffee shop that still does Sunday services. This would be a hidden gem for college students who go to SLU. I ordered my usual caramel latte (hot this time) and their lunch sandwich, the pesto turkey sandwich--which was delightful and frankly delicious. I'm surprised that it was delicious! It's a great spot to grab lunch and hang out to do work. The baristas are fast and friendly towards the guests, and the services are fast!

    Iced coffee
    Annica T.

    I stopped in for coffee and found a great place to take a break or get work done. The servers were friendly and my iced coffee was really good! I also had the avocado toast and it was a nice light breakfast. Plenty of tables and outlets set up in this repurposed church space. Soft, calming music and lighting, perfect for study groups or solo work.

    First time I popped in to Crave, I'm a total fan. A friend and I had some business to discuss and I thought this would be a good spot from the feedback of fellow Yelpers. Nested in an old church building, Crave has a cool historic and modern vibe and has maintained the strong religious architecture, of which I am a huge fan. Coffee shop by day (Monday-Friday) and church on Sunday. The coffee and food offerings are plenty, the staff is friendly and the Wi-Fi is free and fast. All great things. Lots of medical students and hospital staff and business folks present. Great vibe, great place, check it out, you'll be a fan.

    I love this place. The atmosphere feels so amazing! The barista was so sweet. I got a sandwich and a coffee and it was filling. I wish I had a coffee shop like this in my hometown!

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and finally had some time to get down there. To my surprise, the coffee shop is very near the SLU Campus and there were lots of students inside of course. I love that this is in an old church and I love that there is a cross still on the pulpit. From the first time I walked to the counter I was greeted warmly by the young ladies working. Because this was my first time at the coffee shop I had a bunch of questions for the cashier and she answered them with Grace and enthusiasm. I ordered an oat milk white chocolate mocha with an additional pump of white chocolate and their chicken sandwich. My mocha was made quickly and my sandwich was brought to the table with chips. It was pretty at the time I went with students studying for exams I believe but it was not too noisy. It is wheelchair accessible from the side so that is a plus and it is kid friendly. The only thing I wish is that they had more comfy chairs but that's a personal preference for coffee shops for me. I will be back soon.

I haven't been to this place since it was the former coffee shop, so I was excited to see what/if any changes Upshot would make. I came in mid-afternoon and it was packed! There's a lot to look at, so brace yourself! When you first walk in, you can't help but notice how spacious it is, as well as the ample seating. My attention was immediately drawn to the bike merch on the left and then drifted to the front where the good stuff was. I was immediately greeted by the person behind the counter and she explained the treats in the display case were seasonal and rotating. They had quite an assortment from quiches, waffles, cookies, bread, and scones! I took a glance at the menu (they offer breakfast, lunch, and a plethora of coffees, teas, and lattes. While I'm not a coffee drinker, I do enjoy tea from time to time, especially whilst under the weather. Since it's hot out, I opted for something light and went with the Mango Magic. She asked if I wanted it hot or cold and I said, "cold". While it was an extremely hard decision, I opted not to get any sweets and stick with the drinks only. While my drink was being made, I had a chance to walk around and I really liked what I saw. It's a chill vibe, and not stuffy how'd you expect most coffee shops to be. I got my drink to go and was on my way. The first sip wasn't as sweet as I had hoped but was still refreshing, nonetheless. Overall, I see this place being here for a long time, and I know I'll def. visit when I'm in the area!
