CRAVE 2025

March 1 -12 - Various Locations

CRAVE is a special feature of Maine Restaurant Week that spotlights coffee-inspired creations at participating locations across Maine. From coffee-infused drinks to sweet and savory treats, each CRAVE item is crafted using Coffee By Design coffee.

There’s no ticket required—just visit participating locations, try the limited-time CRAVE items, and enjoy! Plus, every CRAVE purchase supports a great cause, with $1 from each item sold donated to Preble Street to help fight food insecurity.
