Delicious Philly Crepe and Great Coffee
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic. I tried the Philly crepe, which was prepared with beef slices that were grilled and included mushrooms. I appreciated that they used cheddar cheese, as that's my preference.
The crepe was packed with flavor and the beef was tender. I also ordered french fries extra crispy, and they were excellent – I highly recommend doing that! My cappuccino was also very good.

Disrespectful Staff, Disorganized Service
My experience at this restaurant was one of the worst. The drivers, who are the link between the restaurant and customers, are treated very badly and the restaurant is totally unprepared. I was informed that orders were ready in the app, but upon arrival, they hadn't even started preparing them yet.
We drivers are punished for their mistakes. The lack of education from the staff at the front shows a total lack of preparation. As a driver and a customer, I will never return to this restaurant and do not recommend it to anyone.

Pleasant Experience with Sweet Crepes
My experience at this restaurant was nice and calm. The service people were great and helpful. The crepes, which were sweet in nature but not overly so, were prepared wonderfully.
Great job to those who prepared our order. We ordered the Santorini Sunset.

Rude Service, Good Food and Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the food was good (rated 4/5) and the atmosphere was excellent (rated 5/5), the service was quite poor (rated 1/5). The attendants were rude, and if you have a very long order, be prepared for a potentially lengthy wait.
Despite the service issues, the overall dining experience was decent due to the food and ambiance.
