‘South Dakota's best bistro': Krave Café serves up a variety of tasty crepes in Aberdeen
Krave is also the only location for crêpes in about four hours' travel time from their current location on Eisenhower Circle.
Dominika Blum, the owner of the café, was inspired to open Krave by her extensive travels and early life in Poland. She has over 20 years of restaurant experience as well as a degree in architecture.
Krave's atmosphere is akin to a local bistro in Europe.
'We take pride in cultivating a family-friendly yet elegant environment, where thoughtful touches like creative menu names, purse holders and various seating arrangements set us apart," Blum said. "For us, it's more than running a restaurant; it's about fostering meaningful connections, building a legacy of care and delivering outstanding service that keeps our guests craving Krave.'
Blum said her goal for her business is to inspire joy with every bite and sip, referencing its tagline 'Sips, Eats, Sweets.'
The restaurant's baker, Mary Collins, arrives at four in the morning and makes all of Krave's pastries.
'As for baked goods,' Blum said, 'our biscones, a divine marriage between a biscuit and a scone, are a hands-down favorite, followed by our lemon bread and crinkle bars. Guests rave about them every time, and for good reason — they're simply irresistible.'
The experience in Krave Café doesn't stop at the food.
'One of the things I'm most excited about is seeing our incredible team continue to thrive," Blum said. "Watching them grow both professionally and personally has been incredibly rewarding."
She said she is looking forward to new opportunities for growth with both the restaurant and its employees. But for now, she is excited about the menu — which includes its best seller — crepes.
Krave's best seller as far as crêpes go is the Monte Cristo, which features ham, turkey, white cheddar, Dijon mustard, raspberry jam, and powdered sugar. When it comes to teas, however, the coconut green tea is the cafe's most demanded drink.
'Krave After Dark Series' is what Krave Café becomes after hours. The café becomes an event space, which hosts everything from painting classes to lessons in etiquette. Blum also aims to offer live music with local musicians at least once a month. For a schedule of events, find Krave on Facebook or at www.welovekrave.com.
'Whether enjoying a café con miel while studying, sharing a pot of tea with a friend, or sparking human connection and conversation, Krave was designed to fill that need,' said Blum.
Krave Café is located at 1801 Eisenhower Circle, Aberdeen. Its hours are 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. - 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Sunday.

Oregon Ducks football valued at just under $1 billion, per The Athletic
A good investment, if you have that type of cash, is a professional sports franchise. Most of them have valuations that just keep going through the atmosphere. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the NBA's storied franchises, were sold recently for a robust $10 billion. On the other end of the spectrum, the Tampa Bay Rays, a team that is always on the verge of moving out and is currently playing in a minor league park, is looking to sell for around $1.7 billion. College football teams are different. They aren't professional franchises, even though many make just as much money as some. The New York Times attempted to determine the value of each of the Power 4 teams if they were franchises that could be sold to the highest bidder. According to the article, the Oregon Ducks would be valued at around $990 million, just missing the $1 billion mark. "In prestige and championship potential, the Ducks — the top team on this list that has never won a national title — are probably undervalued here," writer Matt Baker said. "Nike has made them a national brand, and Dan Lanning has re-established them as a title contender. Though Oregon proved it belongs in the Big Ten by winning the conference championship in Year 1, the Ducks get a half-share payout from the league until the 2030 fiscal year. That reality kept them from being the 14th member of our $1 billion club. At the top of the list of college franchises is the Texas Longhorns, valued at $2.38 billion, followed by the Georgia Bulldogs ($1.92 billion), Ohio State Buckeyes ($1.9 billion), and Notre Dame Fighting Irish ($1.84 billion). The Ducks generate $90 million in revenue annually, but playing in a traditional small market, with the largest market nearby being Portland, which is not a major market itself, doesn't help their valuation. Although Autzen Stadium is great, it's relatively small compared to other college stadiums. Just an expansion of the stadium to perhaps 70,000 would probably push the Ducks over that $1 billion threshold. But it really doesn't matter since the Ducks aren't a pro team. Oregon is a very successful college program that is the envy of most and isn't hurting for cash.

Where does Texas A&M rank in The Athletic's projected selling prices?
In this new era of collegiate athletics, financial stability and potential future investments have become the blueprint for success, more than ever before. That testament was the formula for a recent powerhouse ranking by The Athletic. The site's list, which features 11 SEC programs in the top 25, predicts the top selling values of college football teams across the country. Senior writer Matt Baker had much to say about Texas A&M's investment into the school's football program in Bryan-College Station, Texas. "Though Texas A&M just missed our $1 billion club, it's easy to envision a few Aggies boosters artificially boosting the price to brag about spending 10 figures on their team." In Baker's hypothetical list, the Aggies rank as No. 15 with $97.3 million average football revenue and a projected price of $973 million. Of the 12 conference programs mentioned, Texas A&M ranks No. 9. Here is the full list of the SEC teams' projected selling prices, according to Baker: While this list is filled with hypothetical measurements and numbers, it does contain some truth behind the veil. It is no secret that the Aggies are one of the top-spending programs in the country. According to a recent On3 Sports' poll, Texas A&M tied the Miami Hurricanes at No. 5 as the top spenders in college football heading into the 2025 campaign. The money spent has yet to translate to the gridiron, however. Head coach Mike Elko is entering his second year leading the Aggies after achieving the program's first season with eight wins or more since 2021. Elko and company seem to be placing Texas A&M back on the right track, but there is still much work to be done in College Station. There is plenty of blame to be passed around for the results over recent years, none of which should include the current Aggie regime. With a top 25 portal class, the return of all starting offensive linemen from 2024 and a talented sophomore quarterback in Marcel Reed at the helm, Baker's additional comments on the Texas A&M narrative could soon change. "The Aggies have the rabid fan base and demographic upside to be higher. Money has also never been an issue at a program that paid Jimbo Fisher the biggest buyout in college football history (about $77 million). But we're also considering wins and losses because of the money victories bring," Baker said. "Texas A&M is arguably the nation's biggest underachiever with only four top-five finishes and one national title (1939) since the Associated Press poll began in 1936 and zero conference titles since 1998." Time will tell if the ship can be turned around with Elko leading the Aggies into a new campaign in 40 days. If the program can reach the playoffs this year, the argument can be made for Texas A&M to be much higher on this list.
