Wow!!!
The sandwiches are fantastic (think of Brazilian cheese bread taste). Also has the Boston Cream dessert and chocolate/banana scone.

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and gluten-free desserts. My only complaint is I wish they were open every day of the week!

I absolutely love this place! Any sandwich can be made gluten free. They also have a TON of gluten free baked goods! The staff is very knowledgeable as well. If I order online for pick up, my GF items are always in a separate bag and clearly marked.

The gluten free bread was beyond good! The kitchen was very caring and it showed. This would be the type of place I’d eat at all of the time. Tried all of the gluten free bakery items too - solid.

Great service, great coffee and pretty good food. Very pricey - about $15-20 for the GF sandwich and an iced coffee.

Picked up some gluten free desserts-choc chip cookie, carrot cake cupcake, Boston cream pie single serving. Cookie was very tasty! Haven’t eaten the others yet.

Ordered two gluten free breakfast sandwiches. On the receipt both are marked as “CELIAC ALLERGY”. One sandwich was definitely gluten free. While the other was not. Be careful!

SO good! The GF bread was definitely crumbly but so yummy. It was nice to have GF bread with a “flavor” (cheese and herb). They had two scones, a few different cupcakes, and brownies that were all GF. The strawberry scone was amazing. They also had regular food for my non-GF family.

Love this place! They have homemade cheese gluten free bread that is to die for, and a button for “celiac allergy” which means your food will be prepared in separate area and in separate bags (if multiple things in your order). They also usually have a few gluten free baked goods kept separately and are baked at separate times to avoid contamination. Highly recommend the banana chip scone! They just added tater tots that are GF and cooked in their own designated fryer (no other fried items on the menu). Great place to pop in for breakfast sandwiches and coffee!

Had a delicious toasted sandwich here, the lady serving was instantly knowledgable and helpful so I felt very confident. It’s 24 hours later now and I’ve had no reaction. Recommended!

So good. GF bread is delish for breakfast sandwiches, albeit a bit messy, so I suggest eating in. New tots are GF and very delicious.

Excellent place. Had the Northshore and a GF cupcake. I went after the lunch rush, so there was no line and service was quick in spite of Halloween weekend. The food tasted excellent. And no CC happened.

Best gf breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had on homemade gluten free bread that is actually flavorful and tasty. The cupcakes are also incredible—moist and flavorful. I wish I had had room for a scone or macaron too! Definitely will be coming here on all future trips to Salem.

ALL people wanting GF baked goods/ sandwiches MUST go here! Have Celiac and have not had bread/ baked goods as awesome as what Crave makes anywhere (I’ve tried a lot of places:)!! Shared a big Northshore breakfast sandwich and a blueberry-lemon scone with my husband and purchased 2 cupcakes to enjoy later:) So, so GOOD! My husband said he couldn’t tell it was all GF. Cannot recommend this place more. Perfect spot to stop in for a small breakfast and coffee before walking around Salem.

Been coming to Crave in Beverly for years. Owner’s family members have celiac disease and they get it. Their is even a celiac protocol when you order! All of the cupcakes and scones are gluten-free and I’ve never found one better than their carrot cake cupcake. Also, the north shore sandwich on their homemade GF bread is my go to and INCREDIBLE!

Staff super knowledgeable, they have a separate section in the back of the kitchen and change gloves and everything. Delicious eggs and meat for the sandwiches. I felt like I was eating a Real Meal for lunch (often times I feel like I’m scraping by to find something while my friends chow down, but this was different). Note- the gluten free bread is cheese/herb. I’m dairy free so I had to go with the bowl version, replacing arugula for the bread

Hands down best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Herb and cheddar bun, perfectly cooked eggs, pepper jelly- your tummy will thank you later for the great food and the safe environment. They also have gf cupcakes, scones, and macaroons. They clearly mark “celiac allergy.”

One of the best gluten free sandwiches I've had. They make sure to mark down allergy. Served on a cheese and herb bun. The sandwich was big and filling, leaving only room for a macaron. Other bakery items available including cupcakes and scones.
