The Sweetest Secret in Town

Featuring a cosmopolitan design complimented by the rustic nature of its cosmopolitan loft setting, Crave represents a new breed of Charlotte evening entertainment: a world-class dessert boutique that naturally evolves into an upscale lounge catering to the desires of Charlotte's late night enthusiasts. With a focus on providing decadent desserts, sensational cocktails, and savory small bites, Crave Dessert Bar aspires to be the Queen City's guilty pleasure of choice.

Crave's dessert menu features an abundance of classic and seasonal selections paired with wines by the glass from various parts of the world. Crave also offers a tantalizing array of light fare along with a spirit menu featuring over 40 different signature cocktails. As a destination for meeting and socializing, Crave also offers several different fruit flavors of hookah in the lounge section.

Of particular importance to its owners, Crave Dessert Bar also proudly supports local artists. All photographs and other artwork displayed on the walls and brick facade rotate periodically, and are available for purchase.

We hope to see you soon...and remember, life is sweet...so celebrate it!!
