Crave Artisan Market — Restaurant in Columbia

This place is one of the greatest things to happen to Columbia in a while. High quality food with imagination, quality, and taste. Regularly updated online information and online ordering. Highly recommend the Devine panini and the curry chicken salad is great. Literally my only complaint is that the online ordering doesn’t have the side options you get in person.

2023 Update: This place remains great and is always plenty busy. They've improved online ordering so you can get the specials, soups, and daily sides.

I love Crave! I love how they have supported Columbia through the early pandemic days and the extra effort they went to make us all feel safe and keep us well fed! But lets talk about Food! The panini called "The Devine" is simply a work of gastronomical expertise. It is made with Turkey Goat Cheese and a Fig, Rosemary, and Sweet Onion Jam on Turano Bread. This sublime sandwich is a ballet on your tongue. We will often grab a Quiche or Tomato pie to go. This is also your place for all of your Holiday pies you would ever need (and there is more to holiday pies than pumpkin😊) And the people are Sooo nice. Just the kindest group of folks you will ever stumble upon. Great place we...
