Crave is a café and wine bar at the Xinle Lu and Donghu Lu nexus. Fresh baked pastries and coffee, photogenic sandwiches and breakfast plates, and wines by the glass. And they have a coveted corner lot terrace.

Sausage Brunch Plate (¥98) with side salad, avocado, eggs, bacon, vegetables, and bread. There’s a lot going on here. Not a fan of the bacon, but the sausages are good.

It’s good for a quick lunch if you’re in the area. The pastries are great. (Get that Kouign Amann!) The outdoor seating will definitely draw a crowd.
