About Crave Cafe
A perfect and cozy spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and bite to eat with a friend or business parter.
Located at 4600 W Penn Ave, Reading, PA 19608, Crave Cafe operates as a cafe serving Reading in Pennsylvania. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Besides its main category, the business also describes itself as caterer, coffee shop, so it may cover more than the name suggests.
Coffee in the United States is served by three kinds of places: national chains with drive-thrus and mobile ordering, independent neighborhood cafes that double as a workspace or a meeting spot, and specialty shops that roast their own beans or buy single-origin lots and brew them by pour-over, espresso or cold brew. Most open between 6 and 7 a.m. on weekdays, slightly later on weekends, and the busiest hour is the commute rush before 9. A drip coffee runs a few dollars, espresso drinks and specialty pours more, and tipping a dollar or a percentage on the card reader is customary but not required. Nearly every cafe offers free Wi-Fi, though some limit laptop seating at peak times or on weekends, and outlets are often the scarce resource.
Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 7:30 amβ2 pm. It is closed on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Crave Cafe at (484) 509-5955; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is cravecafe.net, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.
Customers rate it 4.7 out of 5 on Google across 445 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded cafes in Reading.
Reading is in Pennsylvania, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Getting around Reading is easiest by car; street parking is metered in busy downtown areas, and most suburban businesses have their own lot. Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across Pennsylvania's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

I just hosted my baby shower at Crave on 04/19 and had the bet experience! The food was delicious, the space was already decorated beautifully, and Nicole/staff were extremely helpful and kind! They helped us decorate and arrange furniture and gave tons of helpful suggestions!! I am so thankful for their team and will definitely be visiting Crave again in the future and would suggest them for any shower/party needs!

Great lunch spot for me to take a client. The soup and salad or soup and sandwich combo is ideal and very reasonable and get great coffee's cappuccinos or lattes their desserts are amazing the salads are huge my favorite is the Blue Steak Salad and the Cobb Salad. The Services always so friendly and on point. Every time I am in that area I make certain to walk across the parking to and get one of my favorite treats from City Girl Juice also.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Crave Cafe! We hosted my baby shower there this past Sunday (3/1/26), and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Nicole, the owner, was amazing in every way. She sat down with us ahead of time to thoughtfully plan every detail and even let us sample all of the delicious food. She truly listened to everything we wanted and accommodated all of our needs so graciously. It made the entire process feel easy and special. Our family and friends couldnβt stop raving about how beautiful the space was! It created the most warm, inviting atmosphere for such a meaningful day. The food was incredible and beautifully presented, and having the entire cafe to ourselves (since they host private parties on Sundays) made it feel so intimate and personal. If youβre looking for the perfect place to host a shower or private event, or just grab so amazing food and coffee, I highly recommend this venue. It was truly a dream day thanks to Nicole and her team!

This is a very nice brunch spot with a couple different seating areas and nice decor. It is counter service and then you go find your own seat. Their black coffee is self serve in the middle of the room. The food items are hit or miss with my family. There have been things that we havenβt liked the flavor of, but others we really enjoyed. This honestly isnβt our first choice for brunch, but if youβre in the area, I would recommend giving it a try.

Came here for the first time, dined in, and had a great experience! The place was completely packed when I got there (around noon on a Friday) and multiple staff members warned me (and were apologetic) for the kitchen being unable to take orders at the time. They took my drink order awhile and guided me to the only two tables they had left open. They checked on me multiple times by different staff members and one came to me personally to take my order. The food gets brought out to you- you get an order number when you place your order. The food was delicious! I did the pick two of half soup and half sandwich- got the broccoli cheddar soup and the Artisan Grill Ham and Brie. The grilled ham and Brie was definitely out of my comfort zone for ordering, but I did enjoy it. The soup was delicious. I got one of the September Specials for my drink- the Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Latte with caramel drizzle- which was so good I got a second one (decaf) to go!
