Berks County Living "Best Lunch Spot" December 2025

Visit Crave Café for satisfying lunch options crafted from quality ingredients like homemade soups, flatbreads and paninis (the turkey bacon avocado is a crowd favorite) — plus delicious fresh-baked goods, from brownies to caramel chocolate chip bars. The business has been under new ownership for a year now with Nicole Rodriguez at the helm, but not much has changed in its last 11 years otherwise. Local Valerio Roasters coffee is popular, and monthly drink specials are offered. Food specials change each week, with popular items like chicken salad often being featured. People come to hangout and eat, making it “feel like the show Cheers, but cozy” say the many regulars that come here. The closeness of the Crave Café team creates a welcoming, loving atmosphere that embraces even first-time visitors. — Elliana Euclide
