I ordered a custom cake for my boyfriend a few months ago. They got everything I wanted it, even customized the flavour. Delivery was made right on time. Communication is also great.
I've also attended to some of the classes and purchased lots of cupcakes from Crave. Nothing bad to say. Their service is beyond excellent!
We have been loyal customers for years! Whether it be for custom orders (birthdays) or a weekend treat, Crave always meets and exceeds our expectations! Nothing else compares! Thanks Crave! ��

They're very nice and the cupcakes are fresh bake awesome so yummy willow park branch keep it up guys!!! thanks again for taking our orders even if it's almost closed...good costumer service.
We ordered cupcakes for our daughter's birthday - beautiful glitter, shiny unicorns, and one special rainbow glitter with "Happy Birthday Julia" on it. Well, someone at the day care took that cupcake, and it made our daughter cry. So, I called the store again asking if they could re-make the very same cupcake again. Not only did they make that one cupcake for her again, they did not allow me to pay for it! I was blown away! What great service! From now on I will always order only with Crave! Thank you so much for making this experience the best EVER for all of us!
Not only are these cupcakes delicious, but they also donate cupcakes to the food bank. A wonderful establishment.
I ordered custom cupcakes for a first birthday party. Each cupcake needed to be a different tsum tsum character so the order was fairly specific.... Jenna was ON IT! She did an amazing job taking care of us and the cupcakes were PERFECTION!
I have been a loyal Crave customer since you opened in 2004 and I continue to be amazed at the freshness of your baking! The quality of your products and the smiles I get when I walk through your front doors are second to none. Thank you for making my days a little brighter and a whole lot more delicious!
Delicious, home made and lovely service. We celebrated a special event with them and will always remember our pink cupcakes by the river!
Loved our first experience from Crave!!! Got 36 mini cupcakes and they were a huge hit!!! Landen's 9th birthday party was a success and the cupcakes were awesome!!!!
Best cupcake I ever had! The icing is to die for
The best. What more is there to say. Great people and great treats. Kids and adults alike love it. The red velvet is to die for. The icing is addictive.
I have ordered from this location multiple times and only had an issue with my order 1 time, but the staff and management were quick to resolve the matter. In terms of the actual cupcakes, themselves, they are always good. The favourites for us are the Crave-O-Licious and the Lemon Lime Twist. Delivery is also quick and easy. Whenever there is a special occasion, I never hesitate to give Crave a call.
Best cupcakes I've had,hands down. Also have amazing gluten free cupcakes. The variety of the cupcakes is awesome, and they always are so fresh, delicious and soft. It's a bit expensive, but well worth it. I'd rather pay the price and get a few crave cupcakes instead of a box of cheaper ones. Crave is amazing, and if you're in the area and craving sweets, definitely check it out. My favorite is red velvet (:
This is my go-to cupcake place! Nutty over chocolate and red velvet Elvis are the favorites at our house. I find the cupcake prices to be very reasonable however the last time I ordered a cake I was a bit surprised at how tiny it was for the price i paid (but it was beautiful and delicious!) I have always found the ladies working at the shops (Kensington & crowfoot) so be very sweet. Online ordering is super easy and they reply/confirm quickly.
Excellent cupcakes, fantastic service and great staff. I always enjoy coming here, I do miss the monogram coffee pop up shop they used to host, but oh u cant have your cupcake and eat it too, or can u?!?!?
Best cupcakes I've ever had. However, last 2 times I've been there they were out of full size Red Velvets. I got a dozen minis instead of a half dozen big ones. Pricing on the minis is half of a full size, so 2:1. Using a food scale, it took 5 minis to equal the weight of 1 full size cupcake. Minis are a rip-off!
Placed an order online with Crave Cupcakes for a baby shower I had to attended. I was extremely happy with the way the cupcakes turned out! Everyone loved them! I was also pleased to see they had Monogram Coffee at this location perfect match!
Crave makes the best cupcakes and cakes in the City! 🍰 I don't normally enjoy icing but theirs is so delicious and not too sweet. They have lots of flavours to choose from and also have gluten-free options. Super cute stores with friendly, unpretentious staff!
What a sweet treat! I preferred the Crave-o-Licious cupcake - the chocolate cupcake was light, moist and had a rich chocolate flavor. The blue vanilla icing wasn't overpoweringly sweet which was great. I also liked the Red Velvet Elvis Cupcake but I wished the cream cheese icing had a stronger cream cheese flavor to it. I think the mini cupcakes are a wonderful idea because you can be greedy and try more flavours. I think they would also make a great gift to share with friends - they taste as good as they look.
5/5 because the cookie sandwiches with buttercream are a gift from God an because they have a coffee bar with beans from Monogram now- best coffee, by far, beyond discussion, in K'ton. Espresso/cappuccino etc and only available until 3pm unfortunately.
Crave is a really cute shop and their cupcakes taste good. The cupcakes that I enjoy the most here are the nutty over chocolate, red velvet Elvis, and dark angel. They also have other options like cookies and pies. The reason I love this location the most though, is that they created a custom cake for me. I asked for a cake shaped like a present box, with a white bow, and in a specific shade of green. They did an amazing job.
We don’t want to alarm you, but Crave Cupcakes now sells its delicious buttercream frosting by the container. That’s right, our favourite cupcake connoisseur is giving you a chance to try your hand at creating epic cakes by bottling the delicious topping that put its sweet shop on the map 11 years ago. Also available for purchase: Crave's own cupcake mix, sure to impress at your next dinner party.
My go to place for cupcakes. It's always a nice mini sweet treat for any occasions.
I like that this location has monogram coffee now and a little sitting area after they expanded. They also serve a bigger variety, brownies and cookies, etc.
Crave is always a win. Haven't been in a while and I was pleasantly surprised by their new cookie and pie offerings! This location also now offers monogram coffee which is brilliant and makes for an awesome combo!
I adore this cupcake joint, not only do you know they use top notch ingredients, but you are able to see the bakers in the back performing their tasks. The new gluten free are so delicious! It's refreshing for someone like me who is unable to digest a lot of wheat to have a good option, and they're available in two flavours and sizes! What could be better?! Also really enjoying the new pairing with Monogram Coffee at the Kensington location, it's so nice to be able to get a hot beverage along with a scone, cupcake, loaf slice or whatever else one fancies. Definitely a good option if you're looking for some classic North American style home baking. Everything is made from scratch, and you can really tell when you bite into it!
Sidenote: Definitely try one of their pies! I'm obsessed with the Apple, but I've heard great things about the Blueberry too!
Favorite. Such wonderful, cupcakes and nestled in the heart of kensington it is a perfect little gem
Best cupcakes EVER!. These are the best cupcakes I have literally ever had. I just read some reviews who the heck cares if the staff are rude, that transaction takes a total of three minutes. It's worth it. Get over it.
Red Velvet Elvis? Oh my!. Great cupcakes! Sometimes they are a tad too sweet, so I usually have to get the minis. They are a tad pricey but I understand why.
By far the best cupcakes I have ever had! The icing is to die for.
My girlfriend brought over a few of their cupcakes for dessert after a special meal. They were awesome!!! Red Velvet was amazing and the vanilla chocolate blew us away. After a disasterous experience with Buttercreams! Crave has our business!
Gluten free cupcakes. I was very skeptical about Crave's gluten free cupcakes, because they had so much to live up to. But I can barely tell the difference between their regular cupcakes and their gf ones! So delicious, and I've never had a reaction. It's so nice to be able to have a cupcake with everyone else.
I loved them. The GFF ones are also fantastic! I'm in love with the peanut butter icing...
BEST. Always my favorite cupcakes
I like crave cupcakes but the price of them isn't really equal to it's value. I feel like you are paying for the name. If you told me you bought them from Safeway, I would believe you.
Good. Bought cupcakes from here a few times. They are tad pricey but the quality is up to par in my opinion. I find the icing a tad to sweet though but that's about my only complaint flavour wise.
Excellent. Great cupcakes. pricey, but great.
Bacon Cupcakes and Cookies!. Thanks so much for the bacon cupcakes at BaconFest! I'd love to see these as a flavor-of-the-month!
I love love love Crave!! Best cupcakes I have ever had. My favourite is the Blondie, the chocolate buttercream is sooooo GOOD!!
I'm always craving for their cupcakes eventhough i already know how to make some ;p
Great cakes. I bought a cake for around $40.00. Worth every penny. It's such a rich cake, you have to cut small slices. There's three layers of real butter icing and nice moist cake. Very pretty too. I bought a chocolate cake with blue icing. Service was professional. The cupcakes are lovely too. Smores, diva, and peanut butter are my favorite. A million times better than Cupcakes in Vancouver!
Just So Good!. We love and we hate it; cake! And when you wrap it up in a little personal-sized paper and top it off with creamy, buttery, sugary, smooth icing there is no stopping us!
Their cupcakes, their Crave Cupcakes....our taste buds secret lover and the enemy of every women's backside.
You will not be able to help yourself as soon as you walk into this cute little bakery in the Kensington area. Clean, bright and smelling like a little piece of heaven. Behind the glass there they are perfectly lined up waiting for your pick. - Just try to only pick one....if you can :)
Stay hungry!

A great treat!. I am in Calgary only a few times a year, and consider Crave's delicious cupcakes a once-in-a-while treat. The minis are just right and you can't go wrong with Red Velvet and Crave-a-licious. They freeze very well and are worth every penny. Friends and family from across the country now know all about Crave, from me having stashed them in the freezer and brought them out as a surprise.
A nice treat..!. I was head over heels for these cupcakes when I first discovered them, however as time has passed I have become a little less open to them.
They are a bit too sweet for me, but I do love the chocolate buttercream as well as the Nutty Over Chocolate cupcake.
To avoid being sweeted out, try the mini cupcakes rather than the full size. Also, go early as flavours often run out early in the day.
Be prepared to spend quite a bit as well. The sweets here are pricey. But worth treating yourself to here and there.
Gourmet. Great tasting cupcakes. A little on the expensive side but hey, gourmet cupcakes.
Best cupcakes in Calgary. Yeah, they're sweet, and yeah, they're expensive, but have you tried the cupcakes from the competitors in town? Nasty. Crave is definitely my favourite cupcake place in town. They use butter in their icing and that makes such a difference. The cake is perfect. Love 'em!
Yummy! Overpriced so I only get one once in awhile
Get the minis. Yeah, they're sweet. Try the mini cupcakes - they are delicious and just the right amount. The icing is super rich and sweet, but that's what makes you crave the cakes (you like that?).
The cake itself will melt in your mouth.
Holy crap they are expensive, though. And it's really annoying when they run out hours before they close.
These are not the kind of sweets you want to buy/eat on a regular basis. But between raping your wallet and giving you the best sugar high ever, these cupcakes really are a treat.
OK but I'm kind of Craving a new cupcake place. I'll admit Crave is the best we have for cupcakes. They are good and the copious icing is part of the appeal. They are fresh and offer a variety of interesting flavours although thier signature vanilla (blue) is still best. What I don't understand is how urban spoon rated Crave under cheap eats $ when all the reviewers (myself included) find them on the expensive side. Urban spoon has to come up with a better rating system that accounts for exactly what you're getting for your $. As it is a $7 cookie would be listed under cheap eats. Give us a scale 1-10 for price it would fix the problem
Wow.. these cookies melt in my mouth! ..
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Love Crave!. I'd like to start by saying I was shocked, and very sad to see some of the negative reviews here.
A friend of mine introduced me to Crave Cupcakes one fall morning three years ago while strolling down 17th avenue. As we walked past Crave she said "Ohhh no, I love Crave Cupcakes!" I said "I've never tried them..." To which she responded "WHAT?!?" and within seconds I was pulled into Crave, and forced to eat a mini Va Va Vanilla. Now, in the morning, the last thing I want is something sweet. But that cupcake was the best breakfast I've had to date! Ever since that day, I've been addicted. I think the cake is amazing, the icing is incredible. I can't even believe that someone would compare the cupcakes to Safeway cupcakes, really?! You've got something seriously wrong with your tastebuds, darling! I love the idea of having a monthly feature, aka "Crave of the month". My favourite cupcake is the chocolate coconut one, mmmm! I live near the Aspen Landing location, so it's the one I frequent. The staff is very friendly, helpful and seem happy to be working there. I hope they continue to open more locations throughout the city and maybe even province-wide :) can't get enough!
5/5
Good treats. These cupcakes are good and they are so popular because they have no competition.I have had better and worse.If you want to treat yourself or friends with a jazzed up cupcakes buy them.If you want to impress someone make your own.Many small coffee houses have great treats.Try lazy loaf in Parkdale.
A bit too sweet, but way better than most. These are good basic cupcakes with a bit too much icing. No, you cannot compare them to the garbage from a supermarket. The cakes are always moist and full of basic flavor - lemon, chocolate, white cake, and the icing which is a half inch thick is real butter icing. It all tastes pretty good if a bit too indulgent, and worth the occasional treat.
Whats not to like?. You walk in, pick out amazing cupcakes, I always go for the smaller size as they offer a perfect cake to iceing ratio, then the lovely woman behind the counter puts them in a container for you and ties them with a pretty bow. How can you go wrong? I don't know!! And they freeze beautifully!! Perfect.
Yum!. I love these cupcakes! Too much icing for most people, but very moist and rich flavor.
Very sweet. These cupcakes are overall good. The cake is light and moist, and the icing has a creamy consistency. I just wish their icing flavours tasted like something other than sugar.
Best Cupcakes. Crave Cupcakes are the best in Calgary. Buttercream Bakery has more flavors, but they just can't beat Crave. Some people think they have too much icing, but in my opinion, you can never have too much icing. My husband and I will get some every few months as a treat. Love them!
Great cupcakes but they always run out.. I love their cupcakes and their buttercream icing, although I do find that they put too much icing on. They're insanely expensive for a cupcake. They often run out of their cupcakes and close early--at least in my experience. I've gone to Crave a few times and they had closed or were out of cupcakes so I usually won't go out of my way to buy some.
Satisfaction. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but if it's rush hour and I'm stuck on Kensington Road, I'll run in and grab a couple of mini cupcakes. They're overpriced, but satisfy my sweet tooth (I only have one).
Very, very sweet. The cupcakes are delicious but eating just one makes my teeth hurt so bad from the amount of sugar. Its better to buy a few mini cupcakes or split a big one with someone.
Been meaning to write about this.... A few of us went by the Kensington location a little late in the afternoon and peeked in the window before we went in as it appeared they were getting ready to close. We stood around the door for a minute and thought we should just keep going as it didn't look like they had anything left to sell (not an unusual occurrence!). Well, did one of the girls not come running out and ask us if we'd like to take a few cupcakes home with us for free because they would go to waste otherwise? TOTALLY made our day! Not to mention that as a bonus they were my favorite coconut cupcakes to boot!!!
I sincerely love Crave Cupcakes, I've never EVER been disappointed! And their customer service is outstanding as well!
Whats not to love?. How can you mess up cupcakes?
Good cupcakes, but nothing extraordinary. I've liked Crave ever since they first opened. Their cupcakes are tasty and their icing is quite good. However, since getting my own professional baking supplies, I've discovered that making cupcakes that tastes just as good as Crave's is really not that difficult. For $3 a cupcake, it's actually not really worth it... Sure, it's good cupcakes, but I can make 2 dozen for much less money and in less than an hour. Really, in a way you're paying for the hype. I also find that the icing gets to be too much after the halfway mark as it's so sweet.
Regardless, I still like Crave but I go less often now since I can make my own at home now...
I love it. These cupcakes are amazing. Just mention the phrase "crave cupcakes" and almost anyone will know what you're talking about
Best cupcakes hands down. The icing is nice and creamy with good flavor and the base is super fluffy and tasty. What more can you ask for. It is alittle pricey but very much worth it
Amazing.... For me Crave is a sometimes food. I love getting the mini cupcakes, it's just enough. Every month they have a "Craving of the Month" - like Pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing for Thanksgiving and gingerbread for Christmas. Around St. Patty's they usually have Bailey's flavored, not sure if they'll do it again this year. The Staff is really friendly and even though there's usually a line up it moves pretty fast. The 6 pack regular or dozen mini are perfect for gifts. They also do cookies! I almost forgot, my fav's are gingersnap cookies with vanilla butter cream!
So yummy!!. I love these cupcakes... they are so delicious... But I can only have the little mini ones because the big size cupcakesare way too sweet by the 3 or 4th bite. My favorite is the coconut cupcakes.
Little Cups of Joy. Sweet and indulgent, I've never come away disappointed after eating one of their cupcakes. And being a coconut fan, the white coconut cupcake has a special place in this foodie's heart!
Oh and memo to the member known as "Crave Sucks" - please define "plenty of time". These guys are still a small operation, and is not Co-op (no offense to Co-op's bakery!) Your definition of "plenty of time" isn't the same as theirs. Think before you grind that axe!
So good..... Get the regular size one and split it with a friend. A full one is hard to handle on your own.
Cupcakes are deliciously amazing for kids. 10 and up
Can't eat more then one.. They are too sweet, but I love the peanut butter icing. Can't walk by without stopping for one.
Overdose on Sweet once in a while .... The frosting is the star of these cupcakes. Comes in many flavours, thick and creamy, and very sweet. Cake itself is good, but nothing special --- comes in chocolate, vanilla, or red-velvet.
I love the minis, as the full-sized ones are a bit too much for me to handle. Red-velvet cake with cream cheese frosting is my favourite --- not as sweet, but every bit as decadent as their other offerings.
Great treat once in a while --- especially for birthdays.
Received some mini cupcakes from Crave. They were put together in a special packaging specifically made for their mini cupcakes. The package fits and protects the mini cupcakes very well.
We received an assortment of mini cupcake. Every one of their cupcakes tasted great! My little ones ended up eating most of them and kept devouring them. I guess you can say that my kids approve!
Will definitely need to buy some in the future!
We ordered mini cupcakes and a cake topper for our wedding. Communication during the ordering process was great as I asked many questions during the planning process. The cake and mini cupcakes came out beautifully and tasted great. Thanks for being patient with me and for baking great tasting cakes.
Had a great experience with one of the girls at the counter!! I think her name was Veronica.
She answered all my questions and took the time to offer suggestions for what my dinner party would need.
The 24 mini cupcakes were so delicious and satisfied all of my guests! Will be returning for all of my events! Thank you Crave!!!
We hired crave to cater for our wedding. Their catering department is great, easy to contact and flexible. They allowed us to increase and then decrease our order size as our guest count fluctuated. Pickup on the day of was seamless. Cupcakes themselves were obviously great, exactly as you'd get in store, and we received many compliments from guests.
I love this place! I think it’s real cute and the cupcakes are fluffy and great! The icing is very unique. Crave is reliable. Sometimes the icing is a bit too sweet for me or the cupcakes themselves are but I would still give it a 5 stars because they are good and the service is friendly!
Ordered online for school fundraiser. Set up your own pick up. The cupcakes were so wonderfully packaged and the pickup was easy. I have to say I rediscovered crave. Used to order regularly for kids birthdays and events, then kinda stopped. Happy to discover it again. Great gift idea as well.
The amount of options in this bakery...is wow (in a good way). They also offer seasonal goods. Their cupcakes range from mini to large in multiple flavours, moist and well made with icing (which can be too sweet for some). $21 for a dozen mini or can pay for 6 large. Their cookies here are also really good and soft with unique flavour options too - selling for $3 each. Have tried their delivery service and it is also very good and well organized. This place is a good place to treat yourself or a loved one.
