Stopped in here because I had some time to kill waiting for my Truck to get done across the street. Didnt know what to expect when I went but I wasnt disappointed! Great, cozy atmosphere. I thought they were only going to have coffee and pastries but they had a breakfast menu and specialty coffee if you wanted it. I got their House Blend coffee and the Eggs Benedict. Got to say, their Beni is in the top 3 Ive had and I was very impressed. Home made Home Fried potatoes were delicious. They dont have a fryer so nothing deep fried is able to be ordered, including french fries (just an fyi). Ordering was a little different than I was used to. You order at the counter and then they bring it out to you, so if you pay by card and dont have cash, dont forget to pre-tip. Inviting patio space with a little waterfall thing. Everyone was very friendly. All in all a great place to go for breakfast, either by your self or a small party. The one thing I would say is that the space is not set up for larger parties and may get a little cramped if you tried to fit a party of more than 8 together. But if youre fine sitting at separate tables youll be just fine. :-)

Cafe Cravings in White Bear Lake, was where I developed my love for great espresso drinks and great coffee. I no longer live in WBL; however, I ALWAYS stop there numerous times when I am in town. Its a great place to enjoy a beautiful day, great coffee and food with a friend or even a casual business meeting. And there are MANY WONDERFUL desserts (my favs are the triple choc. mousse cake and the carmelita bars!!!) and awesome gourmet sandwiches/meals! It has easy access from Hwy 61 on County Road E. It is well worth taking time out to enjoy your coffee, dessert, or simply a nice sunny day on the patio with a good book...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Only your own backyard with a private barista and gourmet chef/baker would top this location in my opinion.

The perfect weekend breakfast spot to get out and enjoy rich coffee, delicious pastries and delectable breakfast/brunch plates in the good company of friends or family! Whenever my wife and I are feeling cooped up in the house or stressed from work, Cafe Cravings is our little getaway to relax a while and enjoy ourselves. The building is quaint, and the atmosphere is comfortable - feels cozy like home, but with a social ambiance. I recommend the apple walnut pancakes and a mug of italian coffee, black. My wife would recommend Eggs Benedict. Dont have any desert recommendations because were usually too full to order any.

Really fresh and yummy food. A cute little place for lunch, and they recently started a summer dinner menu. I regret that I didnt realize they have a drive thru for over a year after moving here. Wish I had known all this time! What a great thing to have fresh food on the go like that. The staff is always super friendly too. I did not give five stars because the bathroom is pretty grimey, and the food is a bit overpriced, but it hasnt stopped us from coming here (just makes us buy less).

My wife and I had dinner here last evening. She had the white chicken lasagna and I the Montecristo sandwich. Both were excellent in quality. The lasagna was ample in quality and served with 2 pieces of cheese bread, but the sandwich was only served with chips, and even though we each ordered desert, cake and I had a rather small slice of fruit pie. I was still hungery when we left. We each had water to drink, the bill came to over $40.00. A little over priced in my opinion.

The food was good for the most part. However, I found that the price of the special of the day was higher than the actual item in the menu. When I questioned it, I was told the menu changed. I had thought they would offer me the lower priced amount since that was what was listed in the menu but the offer was not made. In addition, I asked if the hot chocolate was made from an espresso machine and he said "I can do that" and then gave me a powdered hot chocolate.

Cozy, inviting and scratch made food. I had wonderful cup of Sumatra and the Eggs Benedict. It was wonderful and properly made. A nice place to have a drink and hang out with friends or order food and feed your family. A fine assortment of baked goods, 20 cinnamon rolls were ordered while I was eating. Fast casual style of ordering and they bring your dish to your table.

Great local cafe. I love restaurants that are unique and dont have a chain feel, and this place is that. Unlike many local cafes, this place serves really good food rather than greasy platters. On top of this they have an awesome outdoor patio with a little waterfall. A great place to read the paper and drink your coffee while you have breakfast.

They have excellent celiac friendly options, friendly staff, longevity in the community, and a cozy, casual setting. I just discovered it and Ill be back for sure. The many gluten free bakery options makes it worth the trip alone; but add a fireplace, good coffee, and warm people and youve got a perfect breakfast/lunch spot to regular.

Tried the half sandwich and bowl of creamy chicken wild rice soup ($9.75). Both were great...but I would try the bread bowl next time. It looked amazing as the 3 of my coworkers had it. Great vibe as its nice and cozy as others have stated. Waitress and workers were nice. Would definitely eat here again.

Been trying to eat more At family owned restaurants vs.big chains, but was disappointed in the cost and quality of food a friend and I received. $10.25 for a small veggie sandwich with a bag of Ruffles potato chips and $2 for a 12oz can of Coke. Will not be coming back.

Eggs Benedict was very good and the people were very nice. A bit pricy for breakfast but my wife has celiacs and this establishment is one of the few resturaunts where we have had gluten free food that that was actually gluten free and didnt make her sick.

By far, Cafe Cravings takes the award for my favorite cozy place to grab a coffee and a scone! You will not be dissapointed by their quality baked goods! I also recommend their delicious Wild Rice Soup! Thank you Cafe Cravings for serving up happiness!

What a great little gem! Im sad I didnt find out about it sooner. This place has a beautiful patio. I cant say enough about their selection of gluten free desserts. I had an almond bar and it was delicious - Im already craving another one.

Superb GF (gluten free) items on breakfast and lunch menus, celiac friendly. Helpful caring staff. Cravings omelet and Angus burger are both fantastic choices. GF bakery items are available too! Coffee is wonderful here.
