Crave Cafe - Studio City aka CC#2 is an extension of Crave Cafe Sherman Oaks aka the OG/original.
It's not as spacious, definitely more boutique style restaurant cafe compared to its older sibling location.
Located off Ventura Blvd (like CC - Sherman Oak) but near the intersected street of Laurel Canyon - technically at Ventura Blvd & Ventura Place with entrances and exits from Laurel or the Venturas.
This hidden spot sit back behind the old Du-Par's (now Sephora), near/in the same lot with Trader Joe's, Mendocino Farms more than a handful of small and local businesses. Needless to say the parking lot stays busy!
If you're dining in you get a full experience, however ordering delivery is something to be noted as the prices with free Wi-Fi, entertainment (tvs or music), gender neutral restrooms, customer service and more. It's not as warm (inviting) as the Sherman Oaks location for me.
Service is pretty legit and kind, family owned and doing their best, but definitely could use a revamp in a few areas, a little can go a long way.
For Delivery/Pickup - I've gotten combo meals without fries or a side that clearly should be apart of the experience.... Not sure why but that's happened more than a few times.
That said grateful for the extensive options and veggie/vegan/vegetarian friendly menu - the Vegan Cheese Pizza is a favorite! The tacos and burgers are a more than okay, food can be oil heavy depending on what it is.
Things have even out (pricing, quality, etc) a little not changing too much in the last 4 years... No longer 24 hrs but they are open as early as 7AM until 2 AM every single day of the week - with a 3AM extension on Fridays and Saturdays only.
