| - When most people hear the words Crave cupcakes they think yum!
This location for Crave is tucked away on 17th ave in a very small little shop, which quite often on a Saturday morning will be lined up out the door. Inside you are drawn to the glass display case filled with rows of delightful colorful cupcakes. Clearly, I am a fan of this place.
I will say that as far as the Cake part of the cupcake is good, but not fantastic. It is the icing that makes them so decadent and delicious. The signature cupcake is my favourite dark chocolate cake with a tiffany blue icing on top (called the Crave- 0 - licious). There is literally about an inch of icing on top...and consequently when eating these your mouth is like 70 % icing 30% cupcake!
The cupcakes are made fresh every morning, and once they are gone for the day, they are gone, hence the morning line ups. They have 13 Flavours.
If the regular sized ones are too much for you, there are mini ones as well. They started making cakes and cookies as well in the past 6 months or so...they are equally good, and equally expensive. The cupcakes are about 3 bucks each actually not a bad price considering the quality ingredients and handmade factor.
I have always found the service to be great, sweet girls who are pleasant and helpful.
I love this place, and only go when I want to reward myself with a very special treat. If you haven't been, then treat yourself.
