Crave Cupcakes

Love love love this place. I think they are over prized but they are so good. I always get their Nutella cup cake. It is to die for, if you like hazelnut.

Nice place. Dropped in to get a cappuccino and some treats for client meeting. Done and done. Great barista and everyone happy with treats. I had Italian sausage in

This location has a coffee shop, and they have the best lattes!!! I get vanilla in mine, and it’s dreamy! Cupcakes are also good, but I love the lemon breakfast muffin. Yum!

So glad that we have a local Sprinkles location. Their cupcakes are the
. And their iced coffee is delish too! A little pricey, but what do you expect for incredible goodness?

I’ve been to the Kirby location of Crave but this one is much nicer. They have a coffee shop inside. So you can order up some coffee and have a cupcake with it! LOVE!!! This location had frosted sugar cookies too. In the spirit of valentines day they had some chocolate cupcakes with the frosting decorated as a rose. From the one’s I’ve tasted my 2 fav’s so far are the Lemon and the Italian Cream cupcakes. I have so much more to try!

I walked in yesterday with the intention of buying coffee only. I knew I was lying to myself as I thought it. I have been a fan of crave for a long time, but don’t visit as often as I’d like to due to the far location uptown. I had to check out the woodlands location. The staff is as sweet and cute as the cupcakes they sell! The girl who attended me was very helpful and cheerful, which is great since now a days, counter service is usually devoid of any human interaction. She noticed I was having a hard time choosing a coffee beverage and she helped me pick by asking what I usually like (lattes with nonfat milk) and she said «we can do that!» So I ordered that with sugar free vanilla syrup and it was heavenly. I then made my way to the cupcake display and picked out two of the prettiest cupcakes to take home for my kids. They really loved the presentation (cute pastry box) and the Valentine’s themed decoration. These are a great Valentine’s gift idea and I’ll probably be coming back soon to get a few for friends and family.

First time here and I will be returning! I had the gluten– free chocolate on chocolate and it was delicious. The woman at the counter was polite and helped my friend and I decide, as it was both our first times. They also have free wifi! I have a feeling this will become a new group study spot for my friends and I.

By far the best cupcakes in The Woodlands. Crave keeps the cupcakes basic and let’s the moist cage batter and not so sweet frosting speak for itself. Our favorite favors is the Strawberry and Red Velvet. We also enjoy their seasonal flavors. The coffee is also great!

I’ve been here a few times for the Texans win and treated my little ones to their BOGO deal. It’s not much of a BOGO deal when my little ones pick the handcrafted cupcakes that cost more. $ 5 for a cupcake is ridiculous and not even THAT good. Sorry. don’t know what the rave is about. I’ve had better ones in DC that are more moist, fluffier, two times that size and cost less. I won’t be back in for a long time… some of the staff are friendly though!

Craves son el sumun de los cupcakes. mejores que magnolia bakery, mejor que sprinkles cupcakes. les pasa el trapo a todos.
Lo mejor de tene que viajar a houston y pasar por la zona de uptown o woodlands es para aca para engordar con alegría y matarse en la cinta despues de la culpa.
Tienen opciones todos los dias, lo cual lo hace genial.
mis preferidos son:
Vanilla,
Strawberry,
White macadamiam nut,
Coconut
Surgar free chocolate
red velvet
por que son perfecto, por que son humedos, textura perfecta. sabores definidos e increibles. son gloriosos.

Wonderful coffee, but the cupcakes are the star of the show! Regular flavors, like dark chocolate are delicious, but their special flavors of the day are where it’s at! The cake is always soft and moist, and they use just the right amount of frosting, rather than the gross piles of icing you see at other cupcake places. They even have options like vegan red velvet! Check out their Instagram, sometimes they have promotions going on.

It actually pains me to write this one star review of this place. I gave them more than a few chances to redeem themselves before writing this. So, I ventured into Crave because I was looking forward to actually experiencing a well-​crafted coffee in the woodlands (or so I thought), as opposed to subpar drip coffee offerings and the usual Starbucks that is available in the area. Don’t be fooled by the pretty contemporary design and pleasing to the eye dessert offerings here. If you are coming for any level of customer service and a craft coffee keep moving up I 45 until you actually get into the city. It definitely doesn’t exist here! The day I went there were very young girls manning the ship. All of them in their late teens early 20s at most. So that’s the level of customer service you should come to expect when you are here. I asked the cashier if they offered flat whites as I did not see it on the coffee menu. Her reply? «We have lattes» LOL anyone who knows about flat whites knows that it’s not a latte. For the record, a flat white should have a higher proportion of coffee to milk, and milk that is more velvety in consistency. Leaving the espresso to dominate while being supported by the milk. I by no means am a coffee snob and but I have had legitimate flat whites from the likes of Blacksmith, Southside, Agora, Siphon and Common bond. This wasn’t even up there with Starbucks.
I went along with it and realized that they basically don’t offer it and moved forward with my order. I ordered the large size latte. The cashier assured me that the barista could make it a flat white for me. Wow ok! Awesome right? When I received my coffee, what I was met with was an underwhelming huge cup of steamed milk with a bit of espresso in it, and extremely lackluster attempt at a milk design. A coffee in a paper cup! I told the ‘barista’ (i’m using that term very loosely here) that my coffee was for there and her reply was «the large coffees only come in the paper cup». For the record, I’ve never had a craft coffee that was ever served in an establishment inside a paper cup, there’s where the experience started to go downhill. I had a sip of the beverage and could only take one more sip before being compelled to asked the barista to redo it. She gave me a very nasty look and said «whatever» then went to the back to get someone else to re make it. While the remake was a bit better than the original, as you can see, there was very little effort put into it, if any. Again, for a craft coffee you should expect more than this.
The entire time that I was attempting to enjoy my coffee with my friends the young girls who were leading the establishment were making nasty comments about me asking them to redo the coffee and gossiping about their school mates in general as if they weren’t actually working. Hello! I can hear you! Based on the level of customer service, along with inept barista’s I will definitely not be visiting here anytime soon. I assume it was a «the cats away so the mice will play» scenario. I am hoping that the actual manager/​owner of this establishment wasn’t actually there on that day and oblivious to what actually goes on in their business and/​or one of the rude girls themselves.
Consider yourself warned if you are looking for a legitimate craft coffee or any level of normal customer service.

My husband and I visited crave yesterday for coffee and a breakfast treat. We enjoyed their outdoor patio while drinking our coffee. I had the bacon, cheese scone and the mocha cupcake latte. I don’t like my coffee sweet so I asked for ½ the Normal amount of chocolate. The scone was delicious! The coffee was incredibly sweet so I asked them to fix it. I learned that they add cupcake frosting to the coffee to sweeten it. That would have been nice to know. They were glad to make me another latte without cupcake frosting and it was great.

Sit down and have a real cup of coffee! Yes, a ceramic cup! What a concept! Lucky for me on this day they were celebrating and giving out free samples of some mini cupcakes. Each bite was moist and delicious. They are reminiscent of Sprinkles in mini form but without the dizzy pretentious staff. A huge array of cupcakes to choose from and I’m ready to go back and get a box of them.
This little well-​lit café is quiet and the retro modern décor will take you back to the 70s. Is this the set of Bewitched? I loved it.
Great friendly place to stop by and have a cup of Joe.

One of the best coffee and cupcake shops around. Crave offers its customers a clean and friendly environment. One may sip on his or her coffee in the comfort of the store, or out in the outdoor seating area. Crave also offers something fairly unique that I, as a vegan love — the vegan red velvet cupcake, which is simply delightful, I must add! I always grab a hot chai latte with almond milk as well!
The staff is always quite friendly, and they even remember me after only being in a handful of times over the course of a few weeks! The prices are fairly reasonable, and everyone should be aware of this store as a great alternative to the now traditional and underwhelming starbucks.
I hope this review helps! Thank you!

I arrived to Crave Cupcakes in Woodlands for its «Cupcakes, Coffee & Cocktails» opening event. Crave was offering free cupcakes with one free drink of choice, DJ music, door raffles, and Crave’s signature cocktail.
Crave shops are sleek and clean! I love the colors. The interior decoration is nicely put together and cute as a button! The flavors rotate daily except some of the staples that are made fresh daily. Check out the page if needed (
).
I had the honor to try 5 of their mini cupcakes and one of their breakfast items. Sadly, I do not remember the breakfast pastry I tried, but it was exquisite. The flakiness and taste was perfect. On the other hand, the mini cupcakes are too good that you just want to indulge more. The icing is rich yet not too sweet. My friends did not enjoy Crave’s iced coffee much. However, the Caffe Latte I ordered was decent. Just be careful — it’s hot.

There is indoor and outdoor seating available for those who want to sit and enjoy cupcakes and coffee. It’s a great place to meet up for a chat. They have free WI-​FI as well. Parking is ample, shared by other businesses in the same strip.

Oh, how I love Crave Cupcakes! Their shops are always clean, cute as a button, and their service is nice (AHEM, Sprinkle Cupcakes, you have failed me for the last time!).
This is a new location for this business, and I’m sure it’s quite welcome in The Woodlands, place of ever growing bourgeois niceties.
This Crave Cupcakes location offers breakfast, coffee bar, and dessert menus in addition to the normal faire of cupcakes. Breakfast items on display included delicious and moist croissants. The beverages included one of my most recent favorites — chai tea lattes. Desserts, in addition to normal and petite cupcakes, included very moist brownies and soft chocolate chip cookies.
This is all quite standard for Crave, which aims to exceed. What makes this location particularly special is its seating. It wraps around the barista/​cupcake bar entirely, which is nice compared to the Post Oaks/​Galleria and Kirby brick-​and-​mortars. Finally, they must have figured out that if people linger, they might buy more…
The only tough thing? Finding this place! I rarely venture up to The Woodlands, and frankly I’m not used to having to see beyond trees. Do yourself a favor and look for it on several maps ahead of time. No, (Apple) Maps for iOS, it is not on the north (even numbered) side of the street. No, Google Maps for iOS, it is not at LAKE FOREST Drive.

I happened to visit again with a friend and I got the strawberry cupcake. They were also sampling the margarita. I have to say I was disappointed with both. They just aren’t that good, especially for $ 4 a cupcake. Gigi’s are a lot better and there’s many other artisan cupcake shops in the area that I will try out instead.
Two stars for the latte I had the first time. But I probably won’t go out of my way to come here for coffee.

Let me help you: The best cupcakes in The Woodlands. I have had Crave in the Galleria, same chain, and it is the same quality. These are second only to Sprinkles cupcakes, which is saying a lot. You can get any of your cupcakes made into a farm animal for an extra $ 1.50. It’s a cute novelty. They have vegan cupcakes, which is good for a buddy of mine. Right next to Ruggels.

Since the other location in the city was one of the highest and most reviewed dessert options on Unilocal,I decided to make this new expansion of Crave Cupcakes my second stop on my Houston food trip. Having filled up on some ridiculously good Rudy’s brisket, I only had space for one cupcake and a coffee from Crave but I did pick up a box to take with me back to the hotel.
The selection here is impressive although conventional. I do think they could stand to have some more unique options but the quality of the german chocolate cupcake I ordered was very high. It had a nice filling and a soft exterior. The shop itself is new, sleek and comfortable. The coffee was pretty good too.
Overall, while I’m not usually a fan of cupcakes, Crave impressed me and I will say that «I’m a fan.»

This shop is a much needed addition to The Woodlands area. There are not many choices for coffee houses here so I am pleased to see we have another one. Who ever thought of adding frosting to coffee? I don’t know, but the person who did deserves a prize of some kind! I doubt I will be making this a regular choice on my normal visit here because of the dreaded calories, but as a treat I will definitely have this on my mind more often than not.
I really like the fact that there are two sides of this shop. One side is the coffee shop. They offer fresh baked pastry items and cupcakes. The offerings on the coffee shop side while I was there this morning were scones, croissants, a cinnamon roll, and a lemon blueberry cupcake. It was outstanding! Not too sweet and just the right amount of fruit added. You can choose your coffee and baked items on this side, pay, then sit down and enjoy. The other side of the shop has their vast selection of cupcakes. You can order coffee there as well. I would have liked a bit more seating as I can see it will be very limited on the weekends and some nights.
As for the cupcakes, they are just outstanding. Moist, not too sweet, the frosting is divine. Everything is made fresh and you can watch them making them in the back.
