From the tips
I had a cinnamon raisin bagel with lox spread. bagel was OK (good store that it was from but it was a bit hard) and the lox spread wasn't that well lox-y for the price.
delicious iced coffee, delicious food, excellent variety also. I am a regular at this place, however it tends to get really crowded during peak lunch hours so if you can come between 11.30a-12p in order to avoid the long wait.
came by for a sandiwch. the heros are large enough to share and are super fresh. also love that there is a jar of free homemade dill pickles ! i'd def be back to try out some other sandwiches!
Crave holds a special place in my heart. They're right next door to my office and I come here for everything. The staff is always incredibly friendly and the space just has a great, casual vibe to it. I usually go in the mornings, when it's quiet, for (Intelligentsia brand) coffee and breakfast. They give you a huge portion of oatmeal and have good breakfast sandwiches. The only downfall for me, personally, is that they make their breakfast sandwiches with sliced hard boiled eggs.
If you visit here during lunchtime, it can be a bit overwhelming – the space is just small enough where the crowd really builds up. Aside from the busy, bustling atmosphere, this place has great sandwiches and wraps. Even the basic sandwiches are good and come with a decent amount of deli meat filling. Would definitely recommend for all of your food needs!
I was surprised at the amount of attractive girls that were at crave sandwiches during lunchtime. The other thing that really surprised me was the fact that you can hear the music in this place all the way down the block. Crave sandwiches it is a very interesting sandwich shop in Midtown. They are located between fifth and the avenue of America one block away from Bryant Park. The thing that stuck out to me most about crave was that their music was very loud.
Crave is a good little sandwich shop they have everything from breakfast items in the morning. you can get bagel with cream cheese butter or locks. They do have egg sandwiches for breakfast as well. Most of the items that crave has available are lunch items. they have a lot of different options on their menu for sandwiches, hence the name. I ended up just getting a turkey lettuce and cheese on a sub and I have to say it was very good. I wasn't really expecting much from the sandwich shop it just look like a really modern sandwich shop from the street. I actually thought it was a chain of places called crave sandwiches. But I came to find out, it was not a chain. If you are around the Bryant Park area I do recommend that you stop here and get something quick to eat it's just a block away from the park so instead of hitting up a street vendor you could come here and get an actual sub sandwich or wrap. I think when you come here and you see the amount of toppings that you can get on your Sandwedge you will be amazed.
Overall crave is a good place to get a sandwich I have nothing against the place they Do play very loud music and the girls that were in the sandwich shop during lunch were actually very attractive I was pleasantly surprised if you are in the Bryant Park area. I recommend stopping here and getting a sandwich or wrap instead of just going to a street vendor and getting something quick
PROS:
– modern and clean
– crazy loud music
– good subs
Food is a 3.5, but the staff here is pretty friendly so bumping it up to a 4. Good breakfast sandwiches! Mine was egg and prosciutto on an everything bagel, toasted, and it came out to be around $5.50. They didn't skimp at all on the filling and it turned out to be a hefty sandwich – the two halves got me through breakfast and most of lunch. The egg was actually a smashed hard boiled egg, which was a pleasant surprise since I was expecting scrambled, and the prosciutto was quite flavorful. Service is also quite prompt and I was in and out during prime breakfast hours in just a couple of minutes.
The best sandwiches in Midtown (as proven by the long ass lines). They have so many different combinations and if you can't find one that's just right for you, you can make your own. I love that you can add potato chips to your sandwich because I've always eaten my sandwiches like that.
The Sophie is probably the one I order the most but all of the ones I've tried have been really fresh and flavorful! Bonus points for a staff that's always smiling.
ALSO THE PICKLES. I love the pickles!!
Grabbed lunch to-go with a coworker and ate in Bryant Park. We both enjoyed our food.
Decor: It's a to-go sandwich shop, so there isn't much to look at from a decor stand point. But, it is very clean, very well lit, and has nothing to hide (you can see them making the sandwiches right in front of you. I think they have a very limited number of places to sit down and eat, like I said it's more of a to-go place.
Bathroom: I did not visit while there.
Staff: The sandwich guy and the cashier were both very friendly. Our food was made pretty rapidly as well.
Food/Drinks: The food is very good. They have sandwiches and soups, of which we had both. The Lauren (good) and the Buffalo Club Special (very good) with chips and a chili made up our order. The rest of the menu sounded appetizing as well.
Value: I ended up spending more than I would like for lunch. Granted, I had a sandwich, chips, chili, and two drinks, but the prices are just a bit higher than one would want to see for a lunch place.
It won't be in my standard rotation but I will definitely consider it again as the food was good and there are other menu items I definitely want to try.
