Crave Dessert Bar

A magical place with amazingly delicious desserts and drinks! Lots of young people. Perfect location right in downtown Asheville. Very good service and beautiful, impressive presentation. Modern interior. An ideal place for those who love sweets. The only downside is that it’s a bit pricey and a little noisy. Highly recommend!

The atmosphere was stylish and fun, perfect for a relaxing evening. The food was absolutely delicious, even though I can’t recall every detail of the flavors, I just remember how good everything tasted. The rosé was excellent and paired so nicely with the desserts. Honestly, I left wishing I lived closer so I could come back more often. Truly a "wow" experience that I would highly recommend!

We stopped in after lunch, we’ve been to the one in charlotte so surely we thought this would be a good option. Loved the thicker than a snickers and my honey loved his drink as well. I love the intimate setting here. If you’re into hookah they have that too!

Maité was our server and she had the best personality! Super fun and outgoing, was very positive. I had her surprise me with any drink she wanted and she did not disappoint. The desserts were AMAZING, I only wish I could have finished it! The place has such a speakeasy vibe to it and the menu did not disappoint. I highly recommend coming for dessert and getting the peanut butter cake as it is a massive piece of cake and if you loce Reese then you will not be upset. My wife purchased the beignets and they were amazing as well!

We dropped in for pre dinner drinks and was blown away. The Creme Brulee martini, Key Lime pie, and Thicker than a Snicker were all fantastic choices! Absolutely recommend dropping in.

Celestial was so pleasant as our bartender and dessert waitress for our 11th anniversary! The Banana Bread espresso martini was phenomenal and paired perfectly with the bourbon cheesecake. recommend!

Crave Dessert Bar in Asheville is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t judge a place by its name—because it’s so much more than dessert. Crave delivers a full tapas-style experience paired with outstanding, thoughtfully crafted cocktails that make it ideal for a full night out, not just a sweet stop. The lamb lollipops are tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented, while the cauliflower wings are a standout surprise—crispy, satisfying, and served with a vegan ranch that you’d swear was regular ranch. And then there’s dessert: Meemaw’s home-style butter cake is the kind of dish you dream about later. Rich but somehow light, warm, and literally melting in your mouth, it’s the perfect ending to an already impressive experience. Crave manages to feel elevated without being pretentious, making it a must-visit spot in Asheville.
