Food (8.2 out of 10)

This occasionally impacted the desired freshness and quality, and a lack of hot beverages was also noted by some patrons.

Service (6.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 77% of the guests

However, many customers rave about the warm and welcoming staff, often highlighting quick service and attentive individuals who greet folks by name. With 46 positive remarks, guests frequently praise the outstanding service and the dedication of the people running the place, even noting their impressive multilingual skills.

Favorite Late Night Crepe Spot
This is hands down my favorite go-to late night snack/meal spot! I like that they’ve got savory options as well as sweet dessert options. They also allow you to customize your crepe to make it just how you want it.
My fav is the smoked salmon with veggies, sun dried tomatoes and sour cream. It’s also low key kind of healthy as far as late night options go, as well as delish! Def recommend.

Sweet Craving Satisfied, Texture Needs Work
I was craving something sweet after dinner and found this crepe spot that stays open late. The banana almond honey crepe hit the spot with the crunchy texture from the almonds, plus the price was really reasonable. The space is small with only two small tables, so don’t expect to stick around long, but honestly that wasn’t a big deal for us since we were just looking for a quick dessert stop.
The guy working there was really funny and welcoming. My only complaint was that the crepe itself was a bit tough and chewy - I suspect it was pre-made rather than made fresh to order. Would love to see them made fresh since that would probably fix the texture issue.
The filling combination was great though, so I’d probably give them another shot!
