ABOUT US

Welcome to Crave Bakery & Coffeehouse, with four buzzing locations in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend, Bromley and Charlton, we’re on a mission to satisfy your sweet tooth, fuel your day, and bring the ultimate comfort food straight to your hands.

Handcrafted Goodness, Baked Fresh Daily

At Crave, we don’t just bake, we create. From our signature cookie cups to melt-in-your-mouth doughnutsbrownies, and croissants, everything is made fresh every single day. Love a flaky, buttery delight? Our flassants (flaky croissants with a twist) will blow your mind. Craving classic cookies? We’ve got those too, baked to perfection with just the right amount of chew and crunch.

Not Just Sweets – We’ve Got the Savoury Covered Too!

Hungry for something more? We serve up a delicious selection of sandwiches, baguettes, and paninis, packed with fresh, flavourful ingredients. And for those who love something warm and comforting, our hot counter is the real deal. Picture this: fresh-out-the-oven sausage rolls, pizza slices, steak bakes, cheese slices, and vegan-friendly options that will have you coming back for more.

More Than a Bakery

Crave isn’t just about food. It’s about passion, creativity, and bringing people together over a love of great flavours. Whether you’re popping in for your morning coffee, grabbing a treat on your lunch break, or indulging in an afternoon pick-me-up, we’re here to make your day better, one bite at a time.
