Aaron and Dana don’t just own Crave; they’ve poured themselves into every detail since day one.

After years in the restaurant industry, they dreamed of creating a place where they could do things their own way. In 2005, they made that dream a reality by opening Crave, and they’ve remained hands-on ever since.

On any given day, you’ll find Aaron wearing countless hats: chef, dishwasher, inventory manager, maintenance worker—and whatever else needs to get done. Dana is the interior designer, bartender, front-of-house manager, and so much more.

It’s that personal touch that makes Crave such a special part of downtown Akron. Stop in to say hello to Aaron and Dana!

Some things belong together. Our Roast Turkey Breast, loaded with whipped brie, bacon, apple, and dijon herb aioli on focaccia, meets its match in the Pear Tini. The cocktail's fruit-forward sweetness lifts every savory, rich bite. Order both. Thank yourself later.

Meet your new summer sips. The Melon Drama combines Watermelon Vodka, Lime Prickly Pear Purée, White Wine, and Watermelon Ice into a drink that’s as fun as it sounds. The Amalfi Afternoon goes a little more Mediterranean: Malfy Blood Orange Gin, Aperol, Lemon Honey, Lemon Juice. Two cocktails. Both are built for this weather. Find your favorite.
