About Crave Dessert Bar
Exposed ducts, brick, Edison bulbs and a backlit bar of glass shelves fill a loft-like room in a brick industrial building, with an outdoor terrace along West 5th Street. Desserts drive the menu: bread pudding, creme brulee, cheesecakes and a lava cake set alight at the table, alongside crab dip, sliders, flatbread pizzas and lamb. Cocktails get consistent praise, and hookah is served. Hours run 5 PM to midnight Tuesday to Thursday, 5 PM to 2 AM on Friday, 3 PM to 2 AM on Saturday and 3 PM to midnight on Sunday; late on Friday and Saturday the lights drop and the room turns into a lounge party. A dress code is enforced and comes up often in reviews. With more than 3,000 Google reviews averaging 4.3, it is one of the most reviewed nightspots in the city. Service can be uneven, though most reviews name servers for praise. Weekend reservations are wise.
