Crave has never let me down. One of the best little soup and sandwich shops in Louisville. I love their "soup of the day" selections because it shows creativity and variety. I never know what I'm going to eat until I get there since I almost always choose a soup. Today I had their tomato dill and it is the bomb. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

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!

Best soup in town. Everything is delightful. We order for delivery for work meetings and the Derby lunch boxes are excellent.

Took the son to lunch here one afternoon after an outside school function. He doesn't usually like soup and sandwiches but he is a nice kid and knew I really wanted to go so he agreed. He got the KY Club and almost wouldn't give me a bite when I asked for one - that is how much he liked it! I got the basil tomato soup and the Beefer. He ate half of my soup (surprise!!) and liked my sandwich too. I really want to go back because I want to try other soup of the day and a few of the sandwiches that I had my eye on.

Crave Cafe is a bit of a mishmash. It's down-home, comfort food with a deli flair, and the decor is a mix of country and urban, with large spray painted canvases that spell out "Crave" on the wall. But this all comes together to create a satisfying lunch experience. On my most recent trip I tried "The Clifton," a sandwich with mozzarella, pesto and tomatoes on ciabatta bread, along with a chicken soup with a curry kick to it. The bread was soft, and the sandwich wasn't flooded in pesto -- a problem at some other sandwich shops. And I really dug the soup, a special for that day. It was spicy, and on a rainy day, made me feel all warm and cozy inside. And at $6.95 for the "pick two" of half a sandwich and cup of soup, the price can't be beat. The employees were also super friendly and helpful. I was offered a taste of the soup when I was trying to decide what to get. Next time I'm looking for lunch options along Frankfort Avenue, this stop will definitely come to mind.

So I kinda have this thing for wanting to support local businesses in the city. I especially excel at supporting local food places. But when it comes to catering for work, for a group of 50 people I've never met, from a company I've never heard of, I felt understandably nervous when I took a chance and ordered from Crave. I really relied heavily on the power of Yelp for this recommendation. I'll spare you the details and summarize my experience: It was perfect. ...just kiddin', I love the details! The food was more than on time, and the gentleman that brought it was not at all bothered by the rain that was coming down when he dropped it off. Each box was labeled and packaged perfectly so we could easily separate out the sandwiches. That being said - we ordered 5 separate types of sandwiches, a few special order sandwiches for allergies, and several of their salads (THAT IS THE WAY TO GO BY THE WAY, they are ENORMOUS! I'll definitely be headed over there for more salads by myself) And I was thrilled that they didn't get any of them wrong! The ONLY thing they messed up on was that they added a few extra cookies to the boxes. Clearly no one is going to have a problem with that. And if they did, I was more than happy to relieve them of their cookie. The lady that took my order was extremely pleasant plus she waived a few additional fees so that we could keep the costs within my budget. She was more than happy to work with us and I can only imagine she would take the same care when putting together your orders. The food was demolished by the students, teachers, and staff (including senior staff), so I think it is safe to say it was a hit. Also, if you're wondering, the food was at least as cheap as most chain catering places, and had a homemade flair. Thanks Yelp, for making my senior staff happy. That makes me happy.

Love this little cafe. The sandwiches are HUGE and delicious, lots of good side options as well. I always get Derby/Oaks box lunches here because they are a little cheaper than other places and the food is simple and delicious. There is counter service here and not much seating so I normally take my lunch to go. This is my go to place for a good sandwich.

Let me start by saying the reason I didn't give Crave 5 or even 4 stars is their price point. But more on that later. I went out last weekend (11/29/14) to be a part of Small Business Saturday and I made up my mind when leaving home to have lunch at Crave. I do everything in my power to not give my food dollars to chain restaurants and well, with it being SBS, it was a no-brainer to continue to share the love with this spot on Frankfort Avenue. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE, is warm and friendly there. Outside, guys were hanging garland and other holiday decorations. Inside. the ladies were covering the kitchen and the counter. I noticed on the specials board that one of the soups of the day was tomato and smoked Gouda (yum!). I asked if I could have a taste and I was presented with a nice little cup of amazing and refined tomato-y goodness. I was told there was about one cup left in the pot. I was offered a menu (it was my second time eating there) and while I looked over it a lady came in behind me and asked about the soups. She said she would take the remaining cup of tomato Gouda and I was disappointed. The young lady who gave me the sample said "Did you want that soup?" and I said yes, and she said "You were here first, so if you want it it's yours". I ordered the soup and a Lexington; a pile of shaved turkey and more Gouda (!) on sourdough bread with sun dried tomato mayo. I also got an iced tea. My order totaled nearly $15.00. Here's where I choked. I know food cost and this ticked me off. I worked on my shopping list, ate most of my lunch and packed the leftovers to take home. I left feeling gouged. This wasn't a $15.00 lunch, no matter how friendly the staff was. I will go back, but I will be much more prudent in my ordering.

I LOvE my potato soups but I by no means have a problem saying they have even better potato soup. Today we have tried their tomato soup. It is much better than another local place that specializes in tomato soup. Definitely has flavor and seasoning. The bacon ranch potato salad is good too. So we have tried the Kentucky cobb club, big bubba, joes special, red whit and blue, blt dip, pimp my cheese, among other things (not all in one day). None of these items were bad. This is the type of place u can revisit multiple times to try something new everytime and be happy.

Stopped for a quick lunch at this tiny little place. Staff is super and the food is great but a little over priced. We will definitely be back.

I have to give rave reviews to Crave. It was already one of my favorite places to eat in Louisville but even moreso after last weekend. We were a large group, five adults and six kids from 2-17. The staff was very accomodating taking time to make sure everyone had all they needed. Did I mention the kids ate free? All the kids had grilled turkey or grilled ham and cheese and chips with a capri sun and a cookie. The food was excellent but I will go back many more times and highly recommend this place to everyone mainly because of the excellent customer service there. I always have the big bubba, it is the best.

Only went here due to a Groupon, now I have a reliable place for lunch or soup and sandwich anytime. We tried the Kentucky Cobb Club sandwich and Kentucky Girl wrap. Ky Club was like a BLT on steroids, great flavor and very filling. Wrap was good also but not as good as the Club in my opinion. They have 3 soups of the day as well as sides that change daily. Tried two soups and they were very good, I imagine the other one was also good. Sides we tried, deviled eggs(one of the best I have had) and waldorf salad(rich and flavorful also). I see this place doing much better once everyone knows they are there. Quick and good lunch spot for a reasonable price. Not as heavy as Panera, light and refreshing lunch items

Crave has good food but is a bit over priced and dingy looking. The people behind the counter are nice enough but don't need to swear in front of customers like they do. I don't have any problem with the language but someone else might. It is worth going back if you're willing to pay a little extra for some good food and don't mind how cramped it is.

Went with a groupon and I have no plans to go back. Food was pricey, I would rather go to Panera for a quick bite. Food was not bad but not great.

I imagine there are many of you out there reading reviews as I often do when I'm hungry and looking for something good. I am just hoping you read this post along with the others or you will be sadly missing out. Those out there comparing Crave to Panera are absolutely mental. There is not one thing remotely comparable between the two. Panera is commercial fast food, similar to McDonalds in my book. Crave is a unique cafe serving fresh homemade offerings with crisp great flavors. I have tried multiple soups, most recently the chicken (enchilada, maybe) soup which was cheesy yummy goodness. I call daily awaiting the loaded potatoe and broccoli and cheese soups which I could eat daily. Every time I see crave on groupons I buy as many as it will allow because I adore this place. The other day I had the "Mellwood" which is basically a BLT, and I say that lightly since there was no less than a pound of bacon on the sandwich. And to those of you claiming it is pricey, I mean seriously have you had the food. One sandwich is two meals or can he shared and are still close to the same price as subway, and come on, there is no comparison in taste. If you have yet to try crave then wait no longer, go TODAY, however I make this post hesitantly since many days they run out of soups I want and I often wish so many others were not aware of the deliciousness of Crave thus leaving more for me!!!!! Love Crave

Good-quality friendly soup, salad and sandwich place; some of their offerings feature local faves benedictine and pimento cheeses.

Delicious sandwiches, although a little pricey - a mozzarella, basil & pesto panini was $8.25, and it was on the small side, though it came with some delicious kettle chips. The sides are delicious and not to be missed - blue cheese slaw, deviled eggs, and a sun-dried tomato & pasta salad were offered the last time I was there. The service was very slow for a deli - it took around 20 minutes for us to get our food, and we were one of 4 tables - but also very friendly.

delicious soups, salads, sandwiches, with just the right subtle hippy vibe without being over-patchouli'd. I'd definitely come back.
