On the Grid : Crave Coffee & Bakeshop

"The Woodlands location of the decadent Crave empire pivots slightly from their cupcake centric focus. They still serve their exquisite cupcakes but have expanded to include a full hand-poured coffee bar and a fine selection of savory pastries. A spacious mid-century modern seating area for coffee dates or study breaks allows for lingering. The atmosphere is as light and relaxed as anything that comes out of their fragrant kitchen." - A Civil Fox

One of the best bakeries in The Woodlands. The employees are super sweet (pun intended), and they have a wide range of options (including vegan cookies and gluten free brownies!) They also don’t tax on any of their cupcakes. The red velvet is my favorite, and is the most popular!

Vegan friendly! 🌱 Stopped by to pick up some Valentine’s day cupcakes for my wife, will be coming back with her in the future! Smells very sweet and looks very clean. Staff was laughing and having a good time. Fun music. Most importantly... Great tasting cupcakes with a sweet 50% OFF deal for those who show up around closing time.

Decent gluten-free options. Friendly staff. Overall layoff of the place is kind of nice too. Wasn’t blown away by anything there but non-main stream desert places are always cool.

5/30/21: Happy Birthday to me! After de-planing in Houston drove all the way across town for these cupcakes. Scrumptious, filling and large cupcakes. No wait, but no dine in either (at time of this post). Outstanding customer service and many varieties of cupcakes to select. Coffee, git tea, latte and cappuccinos served here too. Got fur babies? They have pupcakes for them also. Enjoy the extra calories; I certainly did!❤

This was my first visit and the cupcakes are awesome. The coffee is great too. My family loved the place and the customer service was excellent. Great place to take your family. The Internet is fast. Do not miss out this place in The Woodlands, TX!

What a neat place! Very clean. Beautiful inside. Trendy. Yummy coffee drinks and wonderful cupcakes! Also has a nice little patio outside and next door is a good place for lunch .

This was my first time experiencing Crave Cupcakes thanks to the Yelp Elite Squad! It really is Sweet to be Elite! I called ahead to confirm there were still vegan cupcakes available. The operator was very helpful. So I arrive to this location and notice the capacity sign (limit of 5) and the mask requirements on the door. Very much appreciated that they enforce the masks. Even employees were wearing them. There were also floor signage for proper distancing. The two ladies at the front were very kind and helpful when I told them I was redeeming my Elite voucher. I chose the Vegan Red Velvet. They boxed it up, showed it to me, and sent me on my way with well wishes. It was a nice experience and I was in and out. The customer service I received is the main reason for the three stars. The cupcake itself left much to be desired. I’m not a huge icing fan, so my initial instinct was to peel the icing away and just eat the cake, but at first bite the cake was pretty flavorless and dry. I was shocked! I know how popular Crave is and I was really hoping what I received wasn’t indicative of their usual products. Maybe because it was vegan?! Idk, but eating a piece of the icing with the cake made it taste better. I couldn’t eat, but a couple of bites. I probably won’t return since the red velvet is their only vegan cupcake, but I appreciate the experience.

First time at this particular location and it was late in the day so they didn't have much left. While the cupcakes were pretty good I didn't feel like it was their usual greatness. I picked up eight in total, strawberries and cream, wedding cake, salted caramel, chocolate with vanilla icing. They offer a lot of flavors and I usually go for the red velvet. It is a must try.

My friends and I wanted to check out this Crave location despite all of us living far away from the Woodlands. We came on a Saturday around 12 pm and we were the only customers at the time. It's very spacious, has great lighting, open concept, & pretty cupcake display. The employee taking our order was friendly and welcomed us in. She helped me make a coffee drink selection since I never ordered a drink from Crave. I got the Astros confetti cupcake & iced hazelnut latte. My friends got the GF cupcake & wedding cake with Crave cupcake latte. The cupcakes were delicious as always. For my drink, it was too sweet for my liking but my friends enjoyed their drinks! I appreciated the complimentary water station. The ladies bathroom was cleaned and spacious. I really enjoyed the sitting area, like coffeehouse vibes. I would definitely visit again when I'm in the Woodlands area.

This is a very cute bakery. I loved the decor with various mixers all around the store. I also liked that you could see all of the cupcakes in a unique plexiglass viewing area and the bakers working behind the scenes. They have a variety of coffee drinks, hot chocolate, and desserts, including gluten-free options. I ordered a hot chocolate and a lemon bar. There was only one individual working on drinks. I felt bad for her as it took a while to get everyone's drinks out to them. It was a freezing 20 degrees or so(yes, when Texas had a hard freeze), my hot chocolate was barely room temperature. I was a bit disappointed but figured I would heat it up once I got back to my friends house. The lemon bar was very tangy and delicious. The top seemed like it didn't set and was a bit mushy. The shortbread portion was yummy. Based on the items I received, it wouldn't be a place I would frequent again based on quality. I'm sure their cupcakes and coffee items are great as the place was pretty busy.

BEST CUPCAKES EVER... As a cake-lover who always has room for dessert, I've indulged in my fair share (and then some) of tasty bakery treats & sweets galore... I've sampled many establishments & tried several recipes. And, CRAVE reigns supreme for cupcakes in my book. Everyone has their own preference for how much [or how little] a cake should be iced. As for me, I appreciate a dense yet moist cake, with "just the right amount" of icing/frosting. I feel the two should be balanced counterparts, both done well but not overpowering the other. Ingredients should be pronounced & distinctive, without being overwhelmed by sugar. This happy medium is what CRAVE does better than others. CRAVE cupcakes are a generous size, decorated in a clean & simple but elegantly appealing fashion. The menu offers a variety of traditional flavors on the daily menu, along with rotating and seasonal items. My personal favorites are the Wedding Cake (regularly available) and the Lemon-Elderberry (Spring seasonal), and their Red Velvet (daily) is the best I've ever had. #1

Houston we never have a problem here. The staff always offers fresh soft cakes of aunt joy except when you buy them all for the day and have to watch the faces of children and disappointment as they tell the customers you bought them all. We give these away at our tradeshows when customers write an order. They ask for them even before the show happens. We ordered a custom fondant emblem with our logo for these this year which took our marketing up ten more knotches. Each individual box is filled with a sugary smile and the frosting is the star of the show. Red velvet you never let me down. I adore the new dog treats too!

Why 5 stars? Because I'm so happy I live close to a Crave now. --- --- --- For years, I would usually make a trip into the Galleria area to visit Crave Cupcakes for just about every visit to Houston to see family. We would usually get a dozen cupcakes and fatten up on them over the few days I was at my parent's house. Fast forward to present day: we just moved back to the area and were in the Woodlands enjoying a birthday dinner. I open Yelp and search desserts - one of the first results is Crave Cupcakes. I've never made a decision faster. An hour later, we're at Crave Cupcakes, and despite the fact that it looks like many of the flavors have already sold out, they still have so many great options that it's a chore to have to narrow it down to 4. I ordered salted caramel and cotton candy. The wife ordered confetti cake and dark chocolate. I just don't like dark chocolate in general. I took a bite and it was what I thought it would be. But the others were all amazing. The crime of humanity is that things that can taste so good are so unhealthy for you, but I suppose that's symbolic of many things in life. But if these cupcakes were somehow good for you, I would literally eat one every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. I'm glad I'm close enough to pop in here and will definitely be back. Many times.

I have yet to eat the cupcakes we got, but the place is cute and modern. The coffee smells so decadent and the choices of cupcake flavors is pretty grand (even low carb, gluten free and vegan!). When we try then I will definitely update my review. They are huge! I love that they also have healthy dog treats for $1. We got one to bring home to our pup tomorrow (out of town).

As much as I love the cupcakes from Crave I don't think I will ever go back at least not to this location. The location is beautiful but the servers at least the one that helped me she wore a chef's shirt seemed annoyed helping me I didn't know if she was having a bad day, but that's the problem it made me feel terrible thinking I was in the wrong or maybe I did something to annoy her when I was just trying to order cupcakes. The service could definitely needs to improve maybe management should go over their employees and re train them about Customer service. It sucks because I love Crave, but I would not go to a place let alone support them when I dont feel welcome. It's not all the employees though the lady before me was being helped by this nice lady wearing a brownish apron and she was being very sweet to the customer in front of me, so I guess I was expecting the same type of treatment. Management, I hope you view this review to work with your staff and with their customers service skills. Hope this helps to improve the company because the quality is there is just missing that careness. -MM

I was so sad to see this location just closed. Their cupcakes were my go-to for birthdays. They will be missed. Service was always friendly, bakery was cute and clean, and cupcakes were delicious!

I really excited to give this place a try and ended up being a little disappointed. The set up in lovely, modern, and clean. I love the way the inside is set up with a glass display of cupcakes. We got three different cupcakes to try and some doggy treats for the pups. The pups seemed to enjoyed their treats. For our cupcakes it was the same all the way around the icing was pretty good but all the cakes were pretty dry even the one with filling in the middle. I was thinking the cupcakes would be pretty moist considering they are $4 + a pop. I will try them again thought just to see if maybe we didn't get fresh ones.

I love their cupcakes. Since I've gone low carb, I tried their 007 low carb cupcake. I thought there was a mistake because it was too good to be low carb! Was really good! Their coffee is great, too - no bitterness like another chain - it was very smooth.

I've been craving cupcakes! Not just any cupcakes-a CRAVE cupcake! Finally was able to make it after work. I came too late though. I still got my red velvet and some type of strawberries and cream (I LOVE their regular strawberry). It was slim pickings! The cases were almost bare. Rightfully so, cause it was 30 mins to closing. Note taken for next time. The staff was still friendly and very attentive. They asked if I wanted them all in the same box or individual boxes. I wanted to try a seasonal one. They still had some pumpkin cupcakes left. Omg they were so good and a nice switch up from the normal flavors I get. Can't wait to try their Christmas flavors!

I had read some recent reviews that they were limited on flavors, so I made sure to call beforehand. The Crave operator double checked what flavors were available & took the time to list them all out for me. I would suggest calling beforehand to prevent being disappointed! Got the Strawberry, Salted Caramel, Red Velvet, and Carrot. I would only order the Red Velvet & Strawberry again. Strawberry had these little pieces of fresh strawberry baked inside, and it was a perfect mix of sweet & savory. Red Velvet was also moist and delicious; I loved their frosting. Please do not order Salted Caramel, there's a little pocket of filling inside that is SUPER salty (and I LOVE salty things). It was unique, but not in a good way. I thought Carrot was very dry, and would not order again. They boxed up my goodies & the ladies behind the cash register were helpful and fast. Such a gorgeous space! With COVID, they blocked off the entire sitting area, so you aren't able to get up close to the retro "COFFEE" sign for a quick pic. Overall, pretty decent experience. The cupcakes are enormous, and the price really is justified. Would come here again, but it's not necessarily my "go-to" cupcake place that's worth a long drive for.

SOOOOO DAMN GOOD OH MY GODDDD we come here everytime we're in texas and i was a little worried since i've been dieting since i was last here but their 007 was almost hard to believe it was "healthy" it was amazing. The inside is also always so clean and pretty!

The mini cupcakes are melt in your mouth, however the bigger cupcakes are dense and were somewhat on the dryer side. I would recommend for something quick and easy to get on the go! Lots of flavors and various choices!

Never mind the cupcakes! (not really, but I'll get to that later)... I felt guilty stopping in here after a workout so before ordering a few cupcakes I made myself feel better by getting a protein bar. Oh my! I cannot believe this healthy gem tasted so decadent and clocked in at just under 150 calories! If they weren't so pricey at almost 3 bucks each I would get a whole box of them to eat for breakfast every day. I would come back just for it! The coffee I had with it was delicious as well. And the service... stellar and with a smile. The shop itself is beautiful and I am a bit of a cupcake shop snob since I just moved here from LA.... land of Sprinkles and one of these type places on pretty much every corner at this point. Make sure you look around there are goodies stashed everywhere! On top of the counter, under the counter.... the actual cupcake display was so large there was an entire row above my head (okay, okay I am less than 5 feet tall but still!) where I couldn't see the top of them. I think I even saw dog treats next to the register! The cupcakes were also packaged nicely and really pretty to look at. I tasted some of the peppermint frosting and it was easily the best tasting mint frosting I have ever had. It's a little hard to find but now that I know where it is it will be hard not to go back. Bravo!

Hard meh. I read the other reviews before I came here. I expected much more. What I got was $2 cupcakes I paid $4 for. The cupcakes for the price point and the hype should have been ones that knocked my socks off. Instead, I got too sweet icing, not enough flavor icing, some more icing, and dried out cake in most of them. $4 cupcakes--these should have filling in them. Out of the 18 we bought, 2 were filled. Not very impressive. I could have done this well at the local Kroger, perhaps better. Nice store. Wonderful service. Fair to midland cupcakes.

These cupcakes are amazing. I got the dozen deal for $44 and basically was the superstar of the dinner party. If you wanna impress people without using alcohol or flowers - these cupcakes are a proper effort!!!

Wonderful cupcakes! I got the Key Lime and the Italian Creme. Key Lime: Tasted exactly as you'd expect, tart and sweet. I loved that the frosting had graham cracker bits in it; it made the cupcake taste more like key lime pie! Italian Creme: I love that the overall flavor profile was subtle. I was afraid that this cupcake would be overwhelmingly nutty, but there was just the right amount of walnuts in a moist vanilla cake. The frosting was outstanding! It tasted like a less-sweet cream cheese frosting, and I definitely noticed the mascarpone. The shop had a beautiful interior and the service was exceptional. I will definitely come back!

I've been to a lot of A-list Raves and B-list Raves in my day, and done all the drugs you'd imagine. But this is more of a C-Rave. I've tried three or four of these locations and I definitely like the ones in the city better. The one that is right by us (Kirby) is really good, as is the one at the Galleria, pretty good, but this one didn't do it for me. The service was lacking a little something and the cupcake was lacking a little something and it's in a little strip mall and it doesn't really have the same appeal as the one by my house to say the least. I've actually never done drugs. I don't even take tylenol.

I entered this place of business back in February. When I walked in I noticed ONE customer having a conversation with the woman I could only assume was the owner or manager. There was one other employee working at the counter. I waited & occupied myself with looking at their cupcakes which were on display...watching as one employee busied herself with doing everything but asking me if she could help me, and the owner/manager continue her long & uninteresting conversation with her friend. I know that I wasted a good 5 minutes just waiting for someone to help me. I had intended to order cupcakes for Valentines Day. After realizing that they obviously just weren't interested in my business, I left. Life's too short to do business with people like this.

Haven't been here since covid. This is all that's left. VERY DISAPPOINTING!! Do you really want to pay $5.00 for a cupcake that isn't what you want? Sadly, it was a gift so had to get it. Never coming back!! Bought a dozen of flavors no one wanted!!

I was less than impressed with my trip out here to meet up with some friends. Admittedly, we arrived in the late afternoon, so it was understandable that they wouldn't have a full stockpile of items like they would first thing in the morning, but their selection was extremely tiny. Even worse, a lot of the cupcakes that were left had "toppers" on them-- little creative designs made of fondant or whatnot-- that were an automatic upcharge and could not be removed, No wonder almost every cupcake that was left had them-- no one wanted to pay an upcharge for something they didn't want anyway. My wife had to pause to reconsider after being told she'd have to pay for the topper. That resulted in some kind of confusion where they started charging us before we even finished ordering. We got to the table and the topper slid right off the cupcake without my wife even putting in every effort-- they literally lied to us about it not being removable to sell us on something no one would buy. Just before we left, a couple of my friends went to use the restroom and they started clearing our table, which included throwing out the topper which hadn't been eaten but we had planned on retaining anyway since we'd paid for it. I pointed that out to an employee and she replaced it. I guess that was a good point. Overall, I probably won't be returning to this location because I'm not in the Woodlands often. That said, I probably won't be going back to ANY Crave Cupcakes location given this experience.

We went here to grab some sweet treats and man were they delicious cupcakes! The body was perfectly moist with the icing not too soft but also not too hard. I loved the options they had, and even had gluten free as well as a low carb and no sugar option! The staff was friendly and the place was inviting. I was helped as soon as I walked it, and we wnt during covid and it was highly clean and they even had you use a disposable sheet when interacting for pay.. Highly recommend for your cupcake needs.

My favorite cupcake place! I'm not a fan of the places with 1lb of frosting on top. Feel like they are taking away from the cake. I feel like crave has the perfect amount of cake and icing. I've never had a flavor I didn't like and I'm super happy they have a GF option. I have a family member who has celiac and it's always nice to be able to find/share with them.

Super disappointed. The cupcakes were dry and tasted old. Frosting was good but nothing special. The girl who checked us out was nice but the other one was bothered having to help us. We were just curious about the different flavors. The inside is cute but not worth having to pay $4+ for day old cupcakes.

Upscale, yet affordable, cupcake bakery. I ordered the salted caramel and dark chocolate cupcakes. I tried to order just one, but they all looked so delicious so I caved and bought two. The name suits them. One thing I discovered about this bakery, that sets them apart from other bakeries is they fill some of the cupcakes with melted flavors. I loved the taste of the homemade melted caramel as I bit into the cupcake. A confection worthy of a Wayn Thiebaud painting, the chocolate cupcake was very decadent and rich. I give this bakery a 10/10

Let me start by saying I am a cupcake snob! I had yet to find a place that offered aesthetically beautiful cupcakes that still had the moist delicious flavor of homemade messy frosting cupcakes. I stopped into Crave after having lunch, I wanted to try one of their cupcakes and a coffee. The interior is beautiful. Reminiscent of a vintage bake shop. Beautiful glass displays, vintage mixers and cupcakes galore! I decided to have the hummingbird cupcake and the dulce de leche latte. My girlfriend tried the chocolate chip cookie sandwich and an americano. My cupcake was like taking a bite of my grandmothers hummingbird cake in cupcake form. It was moist and delicious on the inside, the frosting was cream cheese and perfectly whipped. Not too thick or too caked on top, which is perfect for me. My latte was amazing! I am not a coffee snob. I love lattes and anything sweet so I don't really like to comment on coffee to often, as I honestly don't enjoy the taste of plain espresso. If you are a person that enjoys sweet lattes,this is definitely the drink for you. My girlfriend did say that her Americano was OK. Not the best but not the worst. I enjoyed crave and plan on coming back quite often!

This isn't what I thought I would be. The cupcakes aren't that good. I got: 1.) Chocolate creme - tasted like devils food cake with frosting. I couldn't eat more than a couple bites. 2.) lemon - tasted too sweet, frosting taste too much of the lemon rind. A couple bites I couldn't eat it. 3.) German chocolate- was ok, it was the best of the 3. Or least worst. I could eat half of it. 4.) My kid got the brownie - and didn't like it, said it was too much like the chocolate creme. My kid didn't like any of the cupcakes either.

Having several family and friends who own small businesses, we are all about supporting them. So when my daughter asked to bring cupcakes for her basketball teammates, I went in search for some. Luckily, Crave was on our way from Magnolia to Harper's Landing (kind of!) The reviews didn't disappoint and we walked into this clean and posh establishment with gorgeous cupcake displays. I can't recall all the flavors we got, but we did try a cookies and cream and red velvet. They were moist and just perfect. I had a gluten free chocolate, which could've fooled anyone. It was gluten free well done. They are pricey, it was $44 for a dozen. However, those were some very well spent dollars. Everyone was very pleased with their cupcakes.

I seem to be swimming against the tide here but for me, Crave Cupcakes did not live up to the Yelp hype. Would the ratings speak to the space alone, this cupcakery would deserve all of its accolades. The bakery cum café takes a white, minimalistic approach to its decor, creating a cool and quiet space where people could get their sugar highs. A tall glass display shows all of the available cupcakes and I was happy to see a decent selection of flavors even an hour before closing. I ordered a box of four cupcakes for a dinner party I was attending and was tended to by one of the cashiers with fair attention and politeness. We dug into the cupcakes a few hours later and I lay quick claim to the vegan red velvet cupcake. Things weren't looking too good when the fork tapped dully against the dry frosting, which had already formed a little shell of dryness in the few hours it'd been waiting in its box. Underneath it was a thick layer of still-soft and saccharine icing that only slightly redeemed the dry cupcake layer underneath. I was disappointed that it wasn't a cream cheese frosting, but I know this is a hot regional debate. Regardless of what type of icing is traditional and right for a red velvet cake, Crave's red velvet was slathered with something that was far from the best. While I didn't try any other flavors from the box, there was no overly eager masticating or rushes for seconds as one might see from a terrific box of cupcakes. Crave's cupcakes are certainly beautifully made and I love the look of the bakery well enough to want to give it another honest go in the future (perhaps earlier in the day, when the cupcakes might be more fresh) but for now, I'm afraid these are far from my favorite and at nearly $4 per, they're certainly not worth the big ticket price.

Great cupcakes and coffee. Really cute dog treats. And although I don't have younger kids, I've seen a few birthday parties there where the kids got to decorate their own cupcakes which looked absolutely adorable!

I really don't care for cake anymore but can safely say that "I Crave Cupcakes". This shop was nice and it was my first time here but was given a few tips to get started with my order. I love the fact that it has a coffee, espresso, cappuccino, and other sweets. I picked a half dozen of the normal cupcakes and wanted to share my personal favorites. The Italian cream man O man, and it really was exceptionally delish. Some others I really liked were the dark chocolate and pecan pie, but you got to understand that these cupcakes are packed with sugar so you might want to try the mini cupcakes. To top them all was the coconut cupcake, and it had me desiring to head back over there. One problem I have with this place is that it is walking distance from work; therefore I'm giving it 5 stars. Time to get rid of the weight scale... I took a few pictures of the holiday gift boxes.

They are only allowing 5 people at a time inside but the line moves fast. Good assortment and variety of cupcakes available. The cupcakes were not overly sweet but just the right amount of sweetness and a little dry. The icing was creamy but a little too sweet for my liking. Still very tasty and they all looked really good. My dog seemed to like the dog treat as well. Friendly and fast service.

I live out of state and pretty much consume Crave on a monthly basis, thanks to my personal Crave delivery man aka my husband. (Happy wife, happy life! ;o) ) Over the past handful of years since discovering this fine bakery, I've never experienced a dry cupcake. What else can I say about Crave besides the fact that it is top notch? These babies are my absolute favorite because of how fresh and flavorful they are and the variety of flavors available on a daily basis! There's something for everyone! I highly recommend the hummingbird (banana and pineapple cake with cream cheese frosting and pecans), cookies 'n cream, and red velvet. Also note they have select other goodies, like brownies, bars, and sandwich cookies. Extensive coffee menu too!

I want to give this place five starts, but some of the employees make it difficult - nasty attitudes to say the least. I recommend the manager get rid of the teenage girls (best guess 16-18 years old) that work there on the weekends. With that being said, everything else is amazing! Crave Cupcakes is a GORGEOUS boutique style cupcake cafe that I legit die for when I am back home in TX... despite my last experience. They have seasonal cupcakes and flavours, so be sure to stop by during Christmas, St. Patty's Day, rodeo time, etc. If anyone is familiar with Georgetown Cupcakes in D.C., this place blows them out of the park. Bottom line: BEST.CUPCAKES.EVER.

I have to admit that I am usually not a big fan of cupcakes. I think most of them are just overly sweet and not worth the calories. Although the cupcake I got today was delicious. The coconut chocolate was worth It today. The chocolate was moist and rich which complemented the mildly sweet coconut icing with shredded coconut on top. I wish they had more interesting flavors, they all seemed a little boring to me. I had walked in with my heart set on salted caramel but it was vanilla cake instead of chocolate, no thanks. They did have a few Vegan flavors which was nice for those that have those dietary restriction. Maybe I will have to come back to treat the kids some day.

What a convenient establishment to my home! I try NOT TO frequent it so often because its on my way to school 5 days a week. The cupcakes never disappoint, moist and delicious and everyday, there is a new flavor to try - our family's key staples are: red velvet, strawberry, chocolate coconut, german chocolate and the birthday cake. The price of cupcakes are not for the weak of heart! Ranging anywhere between $3.50-$4.25 (specialty cupcakes) each. Pricey little buggers! So, if you plan to buy for a party, classroom, special event, it's going to cost you. BRAVO to this place for being able to keep its doors open during the pandemic, in a most surely high rent space, living off of CUPCAKE sales! I APPLAUD you and will continue patronize your location for as long as I have teeth and am not a diagnosed diabetic!

I'm not a big fan of this place. I have to confess I did not have a cupcake while I was there. I did have an iced tea and two of their chocolate chip cookies. The iced tea was average, nothing great. Their chocolate chip cookies were thicker than normal cookies and chewy. They were kind of on the sweet side so I only ended up eating one cookie and giving the other one away. 2 cookie and iced tea was almost $9. In my opinion, not a great value for what you got. Also, while I was in there, I got nudged by a lady who thought she was the queen of The Woodlands. I noticed a lot of women in The Woodlands like to think they are more important than they really are. Crave seems to cater to this type of customer so I was definitely not liking the clientele here. Overall, expensive for so so products and a clientele that makes me laugh. Not a great experience. I won't be back.
