Crave Cookies opens first Ohio storefront in Lewis Center
LEWIS CENTER, Ohio (WCMH) -- A national cookie chain that unveils a lineup of new flavors every week and boasts an award-winning chocolate chip cookie has opened its first Ohio storefront in the Columbus area.
Crave Cookies is now open at 5875 Evans Farm Drive, inside Lewis Center's Evans Farm development, after hosting a grand opening celebration earlier this month. The shop marks the brand's first Ohio location and is joining dozens of Crave storefronts nationwide, including in Nevada, Texas, Indiana, Florida, New Jersey and more.
The brand offers a variety of rotating New York-style cookies, revealing five new flavors every Friday. Crave's "The Parent Trap" cookie features peanut butter dough with crushed Oreos, while the "Cookies 'n Milk" includes the shop's signature dough with milk chocolate chips, filled with sweet cream and mini semi-sweet chocolate "for that gooey center."
"Life is uncertain. Our weekly menu change isn't. The adventure begins with our award-winning Milk Chocolate Chip and spirals into an epic weekly flavor reveal," Crave's site states. "Our New York-style cookies are not just baked, they're crafted for moments of awe, size, and a flavor twist that leaves ordinary in the dust. Get ready, this is where cookie monotony comes to die."
Crave is one of several new businesses popping up in Evans Farm, along with a combo craft brewery and coffee shop that opened in May. The shop is home to a range of brews, a cocktail menu created in collaboration with Watershed Distillery, freshly roasted coffee from One Line Coffee and pastries from Der Dutchman.
A butcher shop home to an extensive collection of wine and beef produced from the owner’s personal ranch is now open. Named Prime + Vine, the shop specializes in American Wagyu beef farmed from owner Jeff Gaylor’s cattle ranch in Knox County.
Other businesses in the development include ice cream shop CRMD, known for its neon flavors that can be ordered in a waffle cone or a puffle, also known as an egg waffle. Columbus-based taco joint Yabos Tacos is also open in Evans Farms, serving up unique takes on Southwestern dishes.
