CRAVE: A Coffee-Fueled Showdown

The buzz is back.

As part of Maine Restaurant Week, CRAVE invites you to sip and savor your way around Maine. From March 1–12, a few of our favorite partners are featuring special drinks and desserts made with beans from Coffee By Design.

No tickets. No reservations. Just follow the aroma.

Even better? $1 from every CRAVE item sold supports Preble Street Resource Center, helping provide critical services to our neighbors in need.

Drink coffee. Eat dessert. Do good.
