Inner Cravings

Often we see business as a way to fulfill our own selfish ambitions. Starting a business can be enticing for many reasons like: the flexibility of schedule, the freedom of being you own boss, and of course the potential to make a lot of money. Atlanta, Georgia is full of young and old entrepreneurs who have flocked to this very city in hopes of obtaining "The American Dream". BUT is that all business is? A mere means to the end result of climbing the financial ladder of success. We would say, 'NO'! It is so much more....


Business is best defined as, " A legitimate part of undertaking the stewardship of creation to make a human imprint on the earth". This is one of my favorite quotes from a book called "Doing God's Business" by R. Paul Stevens because it totally created a new category in my mind for the impact business can have on the world. So our desire is to do just that, create a business where people, not just profit, are the priority. For years we've wondered how our gifts for serving, hosting, and cooking combined with our faith in Christ and passion for people could be used in a life changing way. Since food is a universal language for people from all walks of life, what better way for us to impact others than to start a restaurant. Through providing quality service, an exceptional product, and a inviting atmosphere, we hope to attract people then develop meaningful relationships that ultimately lead to heart and life changing experiences. At the core of Crave lies our heart to serve and love the people of Atlanta, reaching them first in their stomachs and then in their hearts.

We hope to provide what people may not realize they truly CRAVE!

Why Crave?

"Why Crave?" you may ask.  

Well, instead of continuing to come home disappointed by the overpriced, sub-par food we often get eating out, knowing that we cook better ourselves, and after cooking and catering for dinners, parties, baby showers and weddings, we felt it is time to raise the bar and make our food dreams a reality. 

Crave was birthed out of a passion to give the people, what they crave—great food all served up in a great environment.  We will offer our own take on familiar favorites we all know and love done with our own flavorful twists and special techniques. Our desire is to provide a home away from home, casual yet urban, coffeehouse experience combined with the quality home cooking we all Crave!  Soon, we hope to be known as 'THE place for breakfast and sweets in Atlanta'.

Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day and our personal favorite, and because desserts are our specialty, there's no doubt...... 





"We've got what you Crave!"



Leap of Faith

Some of you may be thinking, "Starting a restaurant?... that's a big deal!" and others who know us may be thinking "It's about time!"  Either way for us this is an amazing opportunity to pursue our passion for giving people tasty food combined with an opportunity to experience true fellowship and friendship.

This is admittedly a daunting  task, especially, in light of the fact the Rich is his own worst critic when it comes to his food, I am often overly analytical, and my mom is borderline OCD, BUT we are a balanced combination of passionate individuals committed to excellence and the people we will serve.  We are so enthused, eager, excited, elated, and ecstatic about the opportunity to take this Leap of Faith!
