After two decades, Crave Cupcakes announced it would be closing its Kensington location, but when one door closes, another opens. Quite literally.
Just a few minutes away in Hillhurst, Crave also shared the exciting announcement that it would be opening a Calgary outpost of its new concept, CeCe’s Coffee. The spot will still serve Crave favourites, alongside coffee, tea and a fresh cafe menu.
CeCe’s Coffee is slated to open in mid-August.
