Amazing Service and Great Food!
WOW! This is such a great little place with great food and AMAZING service. I had some business to take care of in the area and needed a place to eat and kill some time.
Well, I am very very GLAD to have found this place. They open early and have Lunch and Dinner even at 8am. You will be greeted by OLGA, she is warm, friendly and very welcoming.
I am in the Costumer Service Industry myself and Olga is just truly genuine and approachable. I have now been here twice and I look forward to my next visit. I'll make sure to pass the word to my fellow crew members at the airline and to my passengers.
Thank You, -Jet -

Unforgettable Breakfast Experience!
My experience at The Crepe House for breakfast in September 2024 was truly exceptional. Even a year later, my partner and I are still searching for a similar taste and quality in every city we visit, but nothing compares to what The Crepe House offers. We fondly remember the satisfaction we felt, from the kindness of the owner to the wonderful and tasty breakfast itself.
That meal set a happy tone for our entire day. Thank you for the delicious food!
