Improved plant based choices - Edit
Crave Rochester has made strides in catering to vegetarian and vegan diners with its new separate vegetarian menu—a welcome and thoughtful addition. The vegan sushi was a standout, showcasing a creative approach to plant-based offerings. The vegan flatbreads were enjoyable, though they could benefit from a bit more boldness in flavor and texture to truly shine.
Read moreThe restaurant’s space is a major highlight—light, airy, and beautifully designed. It’s arguably the best-designed dining space in Rochester, which enhances the overall experience. The service was also attentive and friendly, adding to the positive atmosphere.
However, there’s still room for improvement when it comes to creative plant-based options. Additionally, one disappointing note was the asparagus, which seemed to be prepared in animal fat based on its smell and taste—a letdown for those expecting fully vegetarian dishes.
Crave is moving in the right direction, and with a bit more attention to truly vegetarian preparation and bolder innovation, it has the potential to become a top spot for plant-based dining in the area. #Veganuary
Pros: Sushi
Cons: Deserts, Asparagus prepared in animal fat

Classy / Expensive - Edit
We loved the atmosphere / excellent service. They had one menu that included typical options, a gluten free page, and a vegetarian page. As other reviewers noted- I wished they had options both gluten free and vegetarian. Food was tasty and portioned smaller. My meal had more

Misleading and few choices - Edit
The section of the menu labeled “plant based” is misleading. Several items have dairy- an accurate label would have been vegetarian. When I alerted the staff, they gave me a blank look like they did not know what I was talking about.
Read moreTheir vegan hamburger bun is not gluten free, and the gluten free bun is not vegan. So one of the few vegan and gluten free choices on the menu (impossible burger) could not be eaten unless I used messy lettuce for a bun. Most of the Asian plates that could be adapted in another place could not because all their sauces had gluten in them. I ended up only being able to eat edamame with a side of tamari and a cucumber salad with rice vinegar. Hardly satisfying, particularly when I needed a solid meal before surgery the next day. Very disappointing that a small chain is not accommodating to more dietary choices/restrictions. We surprising have had much better luck at even an Italian restaurant down the street.
Pros: Two good mocktail options, Location convenient to hotel
Cons: No good vegan and gf options, Mislabeled menu (dairy is not plant based!), Staff not knowledgeable about vegan diet

Nicer option - Edit
Crave is pretty much the only nicer place in Rochester with vegan options. The vegan truffle fries and crave roll are my favorites. It’s not cheap, expect to shell out $75 for two entrees and drinks.

Good option for Rochester - Edit
I’ve eaten here several times. They have several vegan options including the standard impossible burger as well as sushi rolls, salad, a stir fry, and flatbreads. They used to have a watermelon poke bowl that was delicious but I no longer see that on their menu online. The “plant based” section of the menu mostly lists items with dairy cheese (last I checked, cows are not plants) but there are some that have vegan cheese options. Nothing here is better than what I can make at home but still a good option considering the limited dining options in Rochester, MN.
