I. Love. Crave. From wraps to soups, they are most creative with veg-friendly dishes. Love the staff and with their number saved in my iPhone favorites, I can call on my way and arrive to a neatly packed brown bag of Crave goodness.

I eat at Crave many times per week. The food is great. My favorite sandwiches are The Terminator and The Tree Hugger. It's really high quality food. I also love the black bean burgers and egg rolls. My son is a fan of the sweet potato fries. There's a great variety of food at Crave and the staff is really nice. Definitely stop in and eat at Crave if you're in the neighborhood.

Absolutely Delicious..... Mark and Jessica catered our sons Baptism on Sunday February 28th, 2010. The specialties that were created by Mark surpassed my expectations and my taste buds. Our guests enjoyed the innovative spin on what would have been "standard" catered dishes from any other caterer. I highly recommend every dish we ordered, and could not possibly select just one favorite ! Our Menu included: Roasted pork, chicken piccata, chicken parmsan ( not your grandmas receipe - much better ), baked ziti, pasta with garlic and oil, grilled vegtable platter & an inviting house salad. This was our first but certainly not our last dealings with Crave. PS did I mention the personalized service that Mark and Jessica provided ?? Second to none.

Really something special for lunch. the owner, Mark Haber is a professional chef who brings his culinary expertise and creativity to the town of Merrick with a unique high end lunch menu that one would normally have to go to the upper east side of the city to experience anything remotely comparable . The only difference is that the prices at Crave are right inline with the Merrick lunch market while their food is clearly superior to anything in the area.

The staff at Crave is pleasant and accommodating, there is ample seating for lunch, and the food is absolutely top notch.

Having used Crave for my Daughters 1st birthday, and recently for a New Years Eve Party I have nothing but WONDERFUL things to say about their service, selection of SUPER FRESH sandwiches, wraps and salads which always have INCREDIBLE flavor combinations.
They are always so friendly and willing to go the extra mile to make my parties a hit, and my guests always rave about their food.
Go in and check them out! you won't be dissappointed!

I work near Crave and have been there many times. I really enjoy there food!! The food is very fresh and there selections are great!! The chef is very friendly and allowed me to try different salads they had that I wasn't sure of. They were great!
My wife loves there made to order salads bc they have 30-40 fresh ingredients and all of there dressings are homemade!!!! Unbelievable for a deli!! : ) Very Impressive!!
Another thing I love about Crave is that they make breakfast all day everyday!
I also had a party catered for my son's 5th birthday and it was great! My family and friends raved about the food. They provided a waitress and she was great!! She was very helpful and went above and beyond. Looking forward to my next meal there.
