Been coming here for years and cant believe I havent left a review!Pre Covid19 this place was really busy during lunch. Now that it just opened up the dining area its nice to walk up, place our order and have seating options. Its just a matter of time before it gets back to its hustle and bustle.I order either their Cold Caprese Sandwich or the Turkey Sandwich. I have never been disappointed.This was our first dine in experience during the pandemic, and all staff had on masks and tables and chairs were quickly sanitized once the customers left the table.Staff is always friendly. Food is fresh and delicious. Sevice is relatively quick during peak hours.Did I mention bottomless Mimosas for $15 everyday?

Be aware vegetable soup its just a bowl mshrooms and broth. I dont like mshrooms so that was a bommer.

The smoked salmon bagel is by far the best thing on the meal. Its tasty and fills me every time I get it!!

I love this place. I come here mostly during lunch time. I usually order one of my three favorites: tarragon chicken salad sandwhich, gourmet grilled cheese or the marinated chicken breast sandwich. All sandwiches are served on thick slices of sourdough bread. And the cookies are buttery and delicious. This place gets packed during lunch time but my only complaint is the price. But I think the quality is top notch. I just cant come as often as Id like to.

This place is always packed at lunch time. Service is fast and friendly. Ordered a spicy curry pork sandwich yesterday. Totally enjoyed it! Pull pork, well seasoned, just the right amount of curry spiciness. The baguette was perfect! Pretty good portion. Hungry so I ate the whole thing. And wanted more. Good job, Crave!

Nice atmosphere. Good food and very pleasant owner. This was my first experience here but wont be my last.

What a sad lunch. Their vegan sandwich is nooo bueno. ;((Sorry I had to leave a negative review but you need to reconsider this recipe.)

Weirdly enough the thing I liked most about this place was the sourdough bread. I dont like sourdough usually but this place got it right. I got the sandwich and soup combo and it was pretty good! I think Ill have to come back sometime and try some other stuff. I strongly recommend people try the food here at least once! The employees were very nice and helped me out quite a bit!

Loved the Cobb salad. Very fresh ingredients. Everything was fresh cut, made to order. Good outdoor seating. Street parking is limited. Park in the structure behind the restaurant.

First off, Id like to mention So good and great service and I loved the ambiance, food, and drinks.Get there early on a weekend to get a seat!

Downtown Santa Ana has been stepping up its game! A great space and fun decor inside with friendly and helpful staff.For a first time experience, the menu is straight forward, showing some twists on classics, with vegan and vegetarian options, a full coffee menu and a full bar.Recrecommended: Bottomless mimosas $15⭐Also.. Ask about the off menu option! This particular Saturday morning they offered Crème Brûlée French Toast with fresh blueberries and strawberries. 🤗🥂🍽

Delicious French toast!

Came here with friends on a Wednesday night and service was friendly and prompt. Sandwiches were good but the soups were great. Also had their cold brew coffee and enjoyed that as well.

Really great food that the restaurant gives its own personality and flavours to. Not just a basic breakfast you can get anywhere for the good price they sell it for!The atmosphere is great, open space with nice seating and a nice mellow playlist in the background.Service is pay at the register first and someone will bring you your food! Very casual. I loved this place!

This place is great! Excellent decor and you can eat inside socially distanced. The food is off the charts too. Its a great spot for a date or a fun work lunch.

Chicken and wild rice soup-Amazing. Chicken and kale salad-Amazing. Chocolate chip cookies-Amazing. Turkey sandwich with bacon & avocado-Amazing. You get my point. Everything here is so fresh, the ingredients are quality and you get what you pay for. Every single time. They never disappoint.

At the moment you come to that place the stuff gives you an excellent feeling. Very friendly crew, it is a kind restaurant to hang out with friends and colleagues or with your date. Excellent meals, creative chef, comfortable cost and generous service. Warmly recommended.

Delicious soups, sandwiches, and salads. And the cookies are huge and nostalgic. Downtown Santa Ana District so surrounded by lots of hip eateries, bars, and stores!!!

Love love love this place. Amazing food, service and quality.

Nice breakfast/brunch/lunch spot, very eclectic, and situated in a newly gentrified area of Santa Ana right across from the courthouse. Came specifically for the french toast, and OMG, awesome, BUT bear in mind they do not serve this everyday, contact them for when they are serving it, aside from that, my spouse had the bagle with lox, and its the best ever had. Service is outstanding, and the place is nice and welcoming. We will be back again and again.

This place is amazing!!! Great food, bottomless mimosas, and a great laid back vibe 🌞😎👌🏾

Satisfied my craving for some good classic Caesar salad 🥗 ...and why not add a half sandwich!?I would like the BBQ sauce for the pork melt to be a little more thick, it was watery, easily dripped out, and made the bread soggy.

4 words: Creme Brulee French Toast

This place has the best Chinese food Ive ever had! My wife and I go there often! The staff is friendly and very helpful. The menu is full of great Chinese Cuisine & they also have Macaroons for dessert. I enjoy the Mongolian beef and sweet and sour pork. My spouse enjoys the cashew chicken. They have dine-in or to-go service. Lunch and dinner portions available. Tell em The Kevorkians sent you...

Everything was ordered online which was a nice touch. They add a service charge for their workers which is nice. Place looked very clean and they had placards on the table which told you if they were sanitized as well as digital menus. Will come back!

Such a fan! Great huge tasty portions, lovely coffee flavors, friendly staff and super fast service. Sure the surrounding areas are a bit sketchy, but you just put on your big girl pants to park your way right into this little gem. Their frittatas are a must, the french toast is a must and their signature coffees are MUSTS.

Amazing! From the staff to the ambiance to the food.. amazing! My new favorite breakfast spot, if you need a recommendation of what to try the creme brulee french toast is amazing!

Food was great and fresh. The potatoe leak soup was cravable!!

Great food and even better cookies.

Awesome spot..they served their bottomless w/GOOD champagne! Even if its only for 90 mins. I mean, who can bottomless for 90mins straight?!?! I would DEFINITELY GO AGAIN

Great staff, warm and kind. The place is a lil chilly, so bring a coat. Had the French toast, very generous portion, looks great, tasted alright to me, might not have been the best choice by me.

Pros - the Bagel & Lox and grilled caprese sandwich were great. Ample lox and the gilled caprese was delicious. Love the interior/ambience (authentic and not a strip mall), good coffee and service. We stayed so long we ordered a beer and had a long lunch. Cons - Very little other than took longer to park on a busy Sunday due to a street festival. All totally out of the restaurants control and noted for reference only.

I like your service so much, and I love the food as well! I would like to compliment you on the service-friendly you provide. I will again and will continue to eat more. The service is the best. Thanks again!

Delicious! Big portions too. Great value and good quality. Got whole loaf of sourdough to go. It is that yummy. Diana is most friendly, kind. She was very helpful to make me decide on a breakfast food option I dont regret and now kinda crave it! Thank you.

I was looking for something fresh for breakfast to take my family to and found this adorable restaurant! They have a great menu - it was so hard to decide what to order. We ended up ordering the Works Frittata, Creme Brûlée French Toast, and an Açaí Bowl. Each dish was amazing. The portions were generous.

People on Nextdoor were raving about this place and I had to check it out and I was not disappointed. I had their tri tip dip with Kale salad and got some cookies to go. Everything was out of this world amazing!

This was a meeting place with a friend. During COVID it has been hard but they offer outdoor seating and the staff was very helpful and super nice. The cookies at this place is amazing. I also ordered fresh bread to bring home to the family which didnt last 2 days my kids couldnt stop eating it.

This place was top notch! Great food, awesome service, and surprisingly priced for the quantity of food you get. I showed the lady at the counter a photo of what I wanted, and they made it. We will return, and bring friends!

I really love this place. Ive been here 4 times and these are the two dishes that I always order. The everything bagel with salmon is my favorite. It taste refreshing and the salmon does not taste fishy. They are really generous with the salmon which comes with lots of cucumber and tomatoes. The tri tip dip sandwich is really mouth watering. If comes with two type of dips, both of which really enhances the flavor. The best part is that both dishes are under 20$! If you come on a week day then you will get in line to order. During the weekend, servers will come to your table to take orders. There is a free parking structure on 4th Street on the weekend too.

Fantastic Cobb Salad! ...great spot to hangout!

Creative menu, good service, had the spicy curry pork sandwich very tasty!

This is a lovely place for a quick bite. Actually, it wasnt super fast, but it was good. We Googled Avocado Toast (because that is what people from the other coast do before they leave to go home). Well, we didnt go to the right place and came here instead. They didnt have Avocado toast (Not that we know what it is anyway), but they were kind enough to Avocado the heck out of our orders! Everything was fantastic. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. The staff was wonderful as well.

BEST lil place to have fresh, healthy yum!! Might I suggest the spring salad, it was super delish and oh so fresh!! We now crave Crave!!!

We were looking for a new place to have brunch and found Crave. We enjoyed the atmosphere and quick service. The staff was attentive and the bottomless mimosas were set a reasonable price. The menu is not extensive but our food was delicious.

Great food and service. Expect the wait to be a little bit longer during busy times

Today Im at the start of 4th Street where the signs read Calle Cuatro at Crave restaurant. As far as good early morning eating goes I believe Ive found it. I entered taking in a modern yet historically rustic atmosphere, quite splendid. The menu was specific, service on point and sidewalk seating available. Plenty of seating inside as well btw however its 11:42 am now and Ive noticed more patrons entering than departing so that should help with identifying rush hour. My order arrived before I could pull my phone from my pocket and I was proud to learn Ill be returning quite often. For $11.84 (minus gratuity) Ill surely be enjoying the rest of my day!

Eggs too runny. coffee was heated in microwave..... waitress has not brought us drinking water and we are almost done with our meal

The food was great!!!

Came specifically for the french toast, and OMG, awesome, BUT bear in mind they do not serve this everyday, contact them for when they are serving it, aside from that, my fiance had the bagle with lox, and she says its the best shes ever had. Service is outstanding, and the place is nice and welcoming. We will be back again and again.

This place was absolutely amazing!!! Every single thing I tasted tonight was phenomenal! The service was spectacular!! I seriously will be back here often!! Thank you!!

Came here with friends for an early(ish) brunch and were blown away by the quality and quantity of food. My friend had heard about this restaurant from others, but it was a first for all of us.Service was super friendly, and the food was awesome. I ordered the Works frittata, and it was so delicious and hearty. I personally prefer savory brunch entrees, so this fit the bill perfectly. It was also plenty to share with one other person, but I was ambitious. My only gripe was how long it took to prepare - I think we got our food a full 30-40 minutes after we ordered! They do warn you about the wait time but I was not expecting it to take THAT long. My friends ordered an omelet and the creme brulee french toast. I tried a bit of each and really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the french toast. They really hit the nail on the head with this dish! By the end of our meals we were so stuffed we could barely move and we had basically a full brunch meal left over to pack to go!!

This place is my favorite site. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to visit this restaurant. when I feel like having a special dinner, this restaurant comes instantly to my head. best and varied food and a rich cuisine.well mannered team, and good atmosphere. Also important, the tariff is affordable. I praise this place with no doubt.

Great prices and friendly staff, and the best chocolate chip cookies at a decent price! Really nice atmosphere and decorated so cute and chic!

I come to this marvelous place many times since I love the special air that is characterizes this place. The staff is extremely cordial and well trained. The service is remarkablywonderfully quick. Most important, the food you eat is magnificent. I have been there many times and I was never disappointed. The rate is fair. I highly recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.

People are very nice here sangria is awesome

Great food and service!

Crave has the best bread! Every great sandwich has to start with delicious fresh baked bread. Everything at Crave is always fresh and tasty, I love everything I order. The portions are large so just keep that in mind when ordering. This is a great addition to downtown Santa Ana. The lunch menu is sandwiches and salads (with the option of half of each). I had a sandwich. The bread was excellent. I thought the meat on the sandwich was a bit dry and would have benefited from a small sauce on the side. That said, it could have just been what I ordered. The beer selection seemed carefully curated. They also have a handful of wines by the glass. Our server mentioned that they were giving thought to opening for dinner as well.

This place provides great service as well as delicious menu. One of the best restaurant in the area. The meals arrived fast and the rates are economical. Recommended.

A great spot to come for a healthy bite with some good coffee. I had the snickerdoodle which was the perfect amount of sweet. For food I tried the chicken barley soup (which Ive never had but will definitely be eating more of) and half tarragon chicken sandwich. Sandwich was packed with chicken and tomato and other veggies. Will definitely be back to try other items!

His place is a hidden gem in Hollywood.It looks like a small restaurant from the outside, but the real prize is inside... Or shall I say their outdoor seating! Really beautiful patio.Parking is rather pricey around here, so uber is preferred.The staff is all very kind and attentive/informative. We asked our waiter what he reccomend and we ordered a couple of things on the menu, and we werent displeased!The menu has something for everyone.We ordered the:*salt cod churros [sooooo delish and probably one of the most unique dishes Ive ever tried]*Gambas [if you like spice and shrimp, youll love this!]*Masa Gnocchi [more on the healthy tasting side, but very fresh]*Short rib [melts in your mouth, must order]Will definitely come back to try more!!!

Convenient location. They have good portions and were surely delicious.

Went here for breakfast. This is a cool spot in downtown Santa Ana. The french toast was so good! It is a huge piece of bread that is cooked to perfection...crunchy and soft at the same time and covered in berries! It came with a sweet syrup to drizzle on top which complemented the french toast and fruit so well. Also tried the works egg sandwhich and had it on a bagel. It was really good.

Food is delicious, a tad pricey but great bread, beautiful salads. I wish they would keep menus stocked where you enter. I have always had to wait till I get up to the cashier to figure out what I want. There are two menu holders so someone should check, otherwise 5 stars.

Food was really good, but really busy at lunch with limited seating.

The Works Egg Sandwich 🥪😋😍

There no contact delivery is a great open! Food was well prepared and good. I’d definitely order again

This place provides amazing service and delightful food. One of my favourite places ever. The meals arrived quick and the prices are economical. I recommend this place.

I forget which salad we bought but it was great!!! Its the only item weve had but Im sure if I tasted anything else it would be just as good. Although we took our salads to go I liked the vibe. Its upbeat and felt right. The staff was friendly and made you feel at home.

Best French Toast in Orange County.

I come to crave a few times a week, and it still gets 5 stars. Pretty much anyone that works in this area can be seen here at lunch every day. It gets really packed, so youre better off ordering for pick up if you dont beat the lunch crowd.I havent had anything bad on their menu. Ive tried their breakfast, desserts, lunch, and espressos. For those who are vegetarianish, I recommend ordering off the breakfast menu

Great bread!

Food is good but the service here is horrible.

I love their coffee! Really tastes great. And the service was great too. The location is just perfect. Even on weekdays, you can find a good spot to park. Their food is tastes like they were freshly made and the service was not that bad.

Great food, kind employees, regularly great character. They charge reasonable pricing and the food quality is awesome. Kudos.

This is a great place for fresh, healthy meals. They have salads, soups, sandwiches and a full bar. The portions are generous and prices resonable. I like to the the half sandwich half salad combo. A chocolate chip cookie is a must. Although not a full service restaurant (you wait in line to order and then find a table), once you sit down the service is great. The food is comfort, yet up to date with the healthy needs of people.

The soup and Sammy combo is really good. Clam chowder was chunky, full of clams and well seasoned. Had an amazing sandwich too. I highly recommend this place.

Place is always busy, but it is worth the wait! The pork sandwiches are the best 😍😋

The menu and service were beyond my expectations. We surely enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. Extraordinary restaurant to take my family out for dinner.

Love this place

The works eggs sandwich with ham and perfectly seasoned home fries.

Fantastic place... And exceptional food!Its order at the counter, which is great for business meetings since there are few server interruptions. Ill be back for sure!

This is a great place for fresh, healthy meals. They have salads, soups, sandwiches and a full bar. The portions are generous and prices reasonable. I like to the half sandwich half salad combo. A chocolate chip cookie is a must. Would highly recommend.

The food is consistently fresh and delightful, staff members hands out good customer service. I love how neat it is and atmosphere. Will come back again.

Crave Restaurant is the best spot to order a lox and cream cheese bagels and in my opinion is one my favorite breakfast spots in Orange County! If you are a big fan of bagels and smoked or cured salmon, Crave Restaurant piles on large slices of fresh lox prepared salmon on their cream cheese bagels for under $10. The portion is large enough to share with two individuals who crave the best out of their food experience.

Went on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Service was amazing and friendly, and the food was even better! Super fresh veggies, fruit, and herbs, and delicious with generous portions. My family got a frittata, fruit bowl, croissant breakfast sandwich, and egg plates. All were above and beyond!

Seating and limited during lunch and dinner. Food is good! They make their own bread, daily. I would give four stars, but for the lack of seating...

Their food is excellent, Healthy and Affordable. I love their pastries and especially their Caesar salad. Their grilled caprice sandwich is superb.

Found this great little restaurant in Santa Ana in the downtown area. Beyond really enjoying their vegetable soup and caprese sandwich, the service is fantastic. Very nice people with a welcoming spirit. Can’t beat good food and good service.

Excellent food and people. A downtown Santa Ana must. Breakfast is delicious. Fresh baked bread for their sandwiches during lunchtime. A+!

Tried the grilled cheese and the turkey club.both are very good and l would recommend. Place isnt that big, has a small bar with beer and wine. Steady line at lunch hours. Food selection is mostly sandwiches and salads I think.

I came here to have brunch on a Saturday and the wait here want all that bad. The interior atmosphere was dark and ambient enough to enjoy company. I ordered an omelette with bacon, cilantro, mushrooms and cheddar. My date ordered the salmon bagel and for the first time in my life, I experienced eating a bagel; better than I thought it would be. The food here was decadent and flavorful. My omlette was prepared perfectly and wasnt overcooked. The potatoes on the side were nice and crispy but I wished it was crispy hash browns. Overall, it was a great place to try for the both of us and Id definitely come back when Im in the area again.

They have a great lunch menu during the week. When it comes to the breakfast menu, not so hot. My coworkers and I went on a Monday morning. There was not much to pick from.

Horrible long wait

Awesome food! Great atmosphere! Nice variety in the menu! Will eat there again if in the area. I would recommend to others.
