We went to Cravings for the first time today and we were pleasantly surprised! Great atmosphere, nice outdoor seating, very friendly staff, delicious lattes, and a book store attached! What a great spot! We will definitely return.

Stopped in for breakfast, it was our first time here. The place was packed, 4th of July weekend and several large groups. The staff was great even with how busy it was. We had the bacon waffle, the soCal scramble and the settlers dish. Everything was delicious. Very filling, large portion sizes. I really enjoyed that they displayed artists work for sale. There is additional parking in the back.

Great local diner with kind staff and delicious food. There is both inside and outside seating available. There is a also a bookstore and delicious pastries/coffee dot purchase. I had the biscuits and gravy and they were delicious. My friend got a scramble. Will be back the next time I'm in the area!

A magical little spot in Chester, CA. My wife and I enjoyed a black coffee with our breakfast (Rusty Roof Coffee). I'm told that it was local roster. I was tempted to take advantage of the free refills! We really loved the attached bookstore and the gorgeous atmosphere. I enjoyed one of their corned beef dishes, made with their own home made corned beef, while my wife enjoyed a wonderful goat cheese and spinach scramble. Tucked away in the indoor window seating made for a wonderful little stop in the mountains. If you get the chance, we encourage a visit!

After being greeted with our service dog, right away staff asked if they can give our dog water. We ordered Socal scrambled, French toast, Breakfast burrito, Settlers breakfast and waffle on side. Food was amazing, all personal very helpful, professional and nice. I can highly recommended this place, food, service...

Excellent service, cute little roadside restaurant, and fantastic tasting food! Stop by and you will never stop craving their food. We were randomly driving through town and needed to stop for food. We saw this place open and made a stop for brunch. We are glad we chose this place.

One of the place you don't want to miss. Very friendly staff with heart welcoming to our Czechoslovakian Vlcak service dog. The food we choose is outstanding.
