Absolutely loved this place! The café has a cozy, modern vibe with beautiful décor, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming.
The desserts were incredible — the new warbat was perfectly crispy with tons of pistachios, and the Dubai chocolate crepe was rich, soft, and seriously delicious.
Great coffee, great atmosphere, and a very convenient location.
Highly recommend — can’t wait to come back!

Should you come? Definitely a place that’s getting a lot of buzz, and I was surprised by its flavor. If I’m rating it so highly, you should wonder if I’m lying and come discover it for yourself, and then give me a like for showing you this great place!!

Le Crave is one of my favorite spots in downtown Iowa City. They offer a great mix of crepes, pastries, drinks, and Middle Eastern,inspired flavors that make the menu feel unique compared to other cafés in town. My absolute favorite items are their Dubai chocolate cups and the crepe; they’re always fresh, rich, and so satisfying.
It’s also a great place to grab a dessert right after dinner downtown. Whether you’re already out with friends or just strolling around, Le Crave is the perfect spot to end the night on a sweet note.
One thing I really appreciate is that they stay open late on weekends, which makes it ideal for late-night cravings or a relaxed hangout. I just wish they would extend their Sunday hours too, because it’s definitely a place I’d love to visit more at the end of the weekend.
The staff are always very nice, welcoming, and patient, which makes the whole experience even better. They also offer a student discount, which is a big plus, especially for regulars like me.
I’ll 100% recommend!

Stopped by Le Crave this weekend and had the most amazing flatbread. So fresh!!! We also tried the Dubai crape.Perfect sweet treat. With a hazelnut iced latte to finish. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere was so chill. This is the perfect spot to meet with friends or to get some work done. Will be back soon and often.

A small shot definitely meant more for college students …i would probably end up dead if I attempted to sit on one of the swings. I only got a dirty chai and the brazilian lemonade. Both were good and not too pricey.
