Off the Eaten Path: Crave Cafe, moving on up (to Crescent Hill)

“We’re a heart and soul place,” Crave Cafe and Catering’s owner Shannon McDonald-Foster told our writer Tracy Shackelford. After 17 years in the same space, 2024 brought a big change for Crave, but the regulars abide.

In February, owner Shannon McDonald-Foster moved Crave Cafe and Catering from its longtime home at 2250 Frankfort Ave, in Clifton to the 82-acre campus of Masonic Homes of Kentucky in Crescent Hill. Crave moved from a less than 1,000 square foot building to a 4,300 sq. ft. space on the lower level of The Olmsted, a popular events venue.

You’ll find the whole story in Food & Dining’s current Fall 2024 print edition, with photos by Dan Dry.
