Good staff, and very nice teas and the chai latté is satisfying. Not too sweet, and not just a tea bag plus frothy milk. There is a really affable barista with a beard who is warm and pleasant. Frankly, I've experienced no attitude from anyone who works there, which is refreshing. Sadly, there are some customers who have no complex about making the community table their office. However, I don't hold the staff responsible for that. Just, if you're one of those people, stop doing it? The vibe is super-relaxed and friendly, but I really don't need to know about your mergers/wedding planning business, or whatever. Manners! The place is developing nicely, and I noticed that they are putting art up on the walls -- it warms the place up. read more

Was there recently for a meeting and it was wonderful. The patio rocked nice quite could have a good conversation without having to talk over everyone. at that point of the day I was already highly over caffeinated and there for was graciously supplied a glass of water. If i was local to this place it would be my go to for sure! read more

The barista knows the struggle of soy lattes, and did his best to make it as nice as regular dairy lattes. The cookies and pasties here are TO DIE FOR. Not made in-house but source from local bake shops that are killing it. Lots of great space and they openly offer free Wi-Fi with a big sign with their password. You don't have to feel bad about asking for the password here. read more

There cortado is more expensive then there cappuccino... wish this place new what was up cuz the area could use a solid coffee joint. Pass on this one read more

Really cute coffee shop on the eastern end of St.Clair West! Went there after a nice walk and enjoyed my experiences friendly service, delicious mocha. I need to go back. read more

Coffee and tea are excellent, service is quick and friendly but the baked goods are totally stale and not worth buying. I got an almond croissant today and not one bite was even remotely soft or fresh. read more

Krave is by far my favorite coffee shop in the area. Great coffee, super cute decor, friendly staff, free wifi, and a ton of tables to work at. A great place to go chill! read more

St Clair has needed a place like this for a long time, it's amazing to me that it's taken so long. Aside from an annoying number of laptops owned by people who spend $4 on coffee to take up a table for an hour or two, otherwise it is low key and the staff have a good vibe with a focus on well made coffee. My only complaint; there are at least two places on the same strip offering some seriously top notch baked goods that they make themselves, some of the best of their kind in the city in each case. Admittedly their focus is the baked goods, the coffee not so much, but these places still manage to almost satisfy entirely on both fronts. Krave on the other hand seems to be offering baked goods from the same bakery that half a dozen places I have been to do. These places offer boring (and barely edible) muffins, unappealing scones, and very average croissants, all for extortionate prices (mind you, the price is not necessarily the fault of the proprietors). Correct me if I am wrong but go to Dark Horse, Walllace, or the Common, and you seem to get the exact same baked product, no? It isn't BAD necessarily (I am being generous here, some IS very bad), but it is expensive and definitely underwhelming. I GET IT, Krave sells Coffee (and for the price of a coffee rents table space to people who can't/won't do their work at home), as do all the others I lump into the same category. Not everyone can make their own product, yet I wish these places could appreciate they are cheapening their own brand by going this route. I guess my high water mark is Capitol, who although primarily a coffee place at least try by baking something fresh and tasty in-house. In Hillcrest this juxtaposition is highlighted by a couple of outstandingly good outliers on the foodie front. As someone who lives nearby I find myself confused every time I go out; do I go for a good coffee, or do I go out for a snack? I wish that I could get both in the same cafe. So, for now I offer 3 stars for what they do offer, here's hoping Krave finds a tastier groove and offers something worth another star (or two). I wish them the best and will continue to support the business in the meantime, though admittedly on a rotation basis. read more

Great location. Loved the decor inside. Not too crowded, mostly people working on their laptops. They also have a deck outside which overlooks a parking lot. Coffee was good - got a latte. I'm looking to going back. read more

I have only been to krave coffee 4 times. It is right around the corner from me and it is a cute quaint little spot. The costumer service is what is lacking most. I have worked 7 years in the hospitality industry and have noticed that what you put out comes back. If you offer smiles, you will receive them 9 times out of 10. I have thanked the barista and said how delicious the chai latte made was only to get dirty looks and attitude back. It is also frustrating when ordering to have the person taking your order completely avoid eye contact. This avoiding looking at the customer has lead to them hearing the wrong order and lack of paying attention. It also leaves no room to smile or be friendly. You are after all in costumer service and dealing with humans on a regular basis. I hope it has just been fluke and I will try again, but I have to say feeling like your annoying someone when they take your order does not make you want to go back. read more

Lovely coffee bar. Reliably good with a great west facing patio. Great lattes and have never been disappointed with the coffee or the service. read more

The coffee is not great. They serve a very light roast. This paired with unexperienced baristas results in an overly acidic tasting coffee. However if you like the light roast trend that's taking over the toronto coffee scene, you might not mind it. Big selection of baked goods - I've only had the croissants and unfortunately they have never been fresh (even when I got them early in the morning). When compared to the other independent coffee shops on that strip, Krave is definitely the most expensive and far from the best. read more

Really nice space if you are in the neighborhood and want to chill. With a useable Internet and enough tables, it's also a good place to work. I'm not a big coffee drinker but I'd say the quality is okay, a little overpriced. The place can be a little bit busy and noisy at times. They have a cool little side patio in the summer. read more

Great local coffee shop, friendly service and very good coffee - in my opinion the best in the area.

really needed a proper coffee house on the street, so glad this place opened great coffee. caps, americano etc great patio for street watching and free wifi maybe a little bit higher priced, but very much worth it. good for a saturday morning walk to the farmers market read more

When Krave opened up, the neighbourhood was understandable skeptical, we have many coffee chains and little independent cafes. But Krave does something different by adding a minimalistic yet still rustic and cottage-y vibe to the decor that makes it a prime place to study, write and get together. Coffee wise, amazing, I can never drink Starbucks again. The bacon and cheddar scone is a fav. Service has always been more than exceptional. St.Clair West loves you Krave! read more
