Had to update since it's been forever.
To many, Crave is a Charlotte staple. Unfortunately, sometimes local gems decline. They still have great specials, reasonable prices, and convenient parking. If you don't know, the deck behind Crave is for Crave customers. Be sure to park in the right spot and get the code from the hostess before you leave.
Their desserts are good. I loved my cupcakes. Yes, their desserts are store bought, so if you are looking for a legit bakery, go elsewhere because they aren't made from scratch in house. Drinks are subpar and not worth the price.
The hookah was probably the worst I've ever had. It was so ashy and kept smooth for only a couple minutes. The coal broke quickly and was replaced, but the server didn't even sweep the ash off.
Overall, this was a subpar experience.
