Alright, let's talk about the food! Overall, it seems like a pretty sweet deal, with a solid score of 7.5 and customer satisfaction sitting at a good 73.5%. Many folks absolutely rave about the delicious crepes, especially the Nutella and sweet and savory options, and the gelato, praising its quality and the wonderful variety of flavors.
With 86 positive remarks out of 117 total, it’s clear that when they hit, they really hit! However, not every bite is perfect, as 24 opinions point to some areas for improvement. There have been concerns about old food being served, inconsistent crepe batter leading to doughy textures, and surprisingly small gelato portion sizes.
Some savory items and cheesecake crepes also left a few diners wishing for more taste and freshness, suggesting a bit of a mixed bag on consistency.

Frequently criticized
- crepeThe crepe was under cooked and too doughy.
- NutellaI used to visit this place a lot, and my usual order was the Banana Split, which I really enjoyed. However, the recent increase in price to $16, coupled with a downsize portion of the ice cream and toppings, only to be stuffed with Nutella, has significantly decreased my joy for this place.

Disappointing Opening Hours Experience
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing due to their opening hours. The restaurant stated it opens at 10: 00 AM, but upon arrival at 10: 45 AM, there was no one working. I waited for 15 minutes, and still, no staff showed up.

Terrible Service, Long Wait for Crepe
My experience at this restaurant was marked by terrible customer service. The staff were engrossed in conversations and on their phones, which led to an unacceptable 30-minute wait for a single crepe and an iced coffee, despite there being no other customers waiting. This lack of attention and efficiency significantly detracted from the visit.

Rude owner, overpriced gelato
I purchased the smallest cup of gelato for my child, which cost nearly $7 for a single scoop. When I declined to add a tip at the payment system, it crashed and alerted the attendant, who I suspect was the owner. He gave me a very mean look and walked away, clearly angry about my decision.
The gelato itself was just 'mid' (average). This establishment was super rude, and I will not be returning.
