I really like this place, It's what it is. Not too big not too small. there are a few misses on the menu but not many. I would suggest the Crepe with ham ans asparagus with cream sauce .... soooo yummy

The caramelized banana crepe is divine, and much more substantial than the dinner crepe I ordered. The ambiance is charming, like a cozy cafe in Paris, and it's a nice spot for a glass of wine and a light meal. The food was very good but, unfortunately, the happy hour food specials weren't really a great deal and the final bill was a little too high to make it a place I would go back to often.

Great ambiance in this neighborhood restaurant. Went there for happy hour and loved the wine selection and generous wine pours for the price. Crepes were very unique and very tasty - although portions for the savory crepes could be larger to match the prices.

5 Stars: Great Place! (by ntonya)

We've been here twice now and I have been very happy with this quaint little place. It has a very authentic parisian feel. The waitress/hostesses we had have been very nice and accomodating both times. Very good service here. I think that the mushroom medley I had and the pesto crepe that my bf had the first time were far better than the 2 we had this weekend, J's and blame it on rio... But thats more of a personal taste issue. The dessert crepes so far have been excellent. The texture is perfect. Would definitely recommend!

5 Stars: Straight Back to Paris (by Tess T.)

When I walked into this little cafe on 65th, I felt like I was right back in Paris. From the style of the bistro to the wonderful crepes, I was in heaven. My boyfriend and I both had the ham and greyure crepe, since we are both crazy about greyure and it was fabulous! Next time I might try the Nutella or strawberry crepe to go for something sweet. You must try this place if you love crepes!
PROS: Excellent food, great service
CONS: A little cramped

5 Stars: Amazing crepes, cute ambience (by wondrousworld)

Went to Crepe Cafe after reading a glowing review in the newspaper, and it was right! This place knows how to do crepes! Absolutely delicious savory and sweet crepes. I highly recommend the "Blueberry Farm" fruit crepe, which was bursting with fresh blueberries, homemade whipped cream, and a yummy not-too-sweet blueberry compote. Every crepe on every table looked good. The savory crepes, loaded with meat, cheese and veggies, are enormous. Two people could easily share one. They do great cappuccinos and lattes too.
The only slightly negative thing I noticed is that the tables are VERY close together, due to tight spaces. It's hard to walk between them without bumping something. Once, seated at a table for two that was literally 3-inches away from the next table, it felt like we were dining with the other couple! Fortunately, they were nice. Space is what it is, and not much can be done (other than taking away some tables, which would make the wait longer!), but just thought it ought to be mentioned. All in all, a GREAT place. Delicious!

5 Stars: Cute, quaint & delicious! (by moops2)

This restaurant is a great date place and a great place to share a bottle of wine with friends. My husband & I like to sit at the little bar, share a crepe and a glass of wine and watch the cook make crepes. Service has always been great. The last time we were there we were served by the owner. She was very attentive and friendly. My personal favorites are The Westchester, a yummy crepe with swiss cheese, avacado, carmelized onions, roma tomatoes, and spinach; Julie's Salad, full of asparagus, avacado, artichoke hearts, tomato, and toasted almonds; and The Nutella Banana dessert crepe! Heaven!

1 Stars: RUDE! (by jackelinquyen)

The first time I went there, the waitress was extremely rude and stuck up. When I asked her about their wine list she acted like I was incapable of reading and did not take the time to suggest a white wine that would pair well with my crepe.

These people are rude.

The second time I called in to check who busy they are so I could stop by in 15mins the person who answered the phone said, "if we were busy this would be a bad time to talk on the phone." So I told her I would call her back even though what I should have said was you are rude and I will take my appetite somewhere else.

There's nothing on that menu of theirs that you simply can't make at home. I eat out for the convenience.

Don't go here if you plan on wasting your money and time.

Try making crepes at home or fly to france for the best crepes.

5 Stars: Cozy hidden spot (by megknight)

This place is great. It is TINY - but it always makes me feel like we have found a gem. The menu is small, doesn't change - but I always find something great there. Plus they have great seasonal specials. The wine list is amazing - we always order a bottle. Make sure to order a savory dinner crepe, and a dessert crepe - they are both perfect. If you can, sit at the bar - watching them cook adds to the whole thing.

5 Stars: Absolutely MIND BLOWING Food (by amangubat)

This place is so good. There is not a bad thing on the menu. Great for romantic dinner dates or a fantastic brunch. Very friendly wait staff, pretty prompt seating, and absolutely mind blowing food. You must try this restaurant. They have a huge variety of crepes and panini, as well as great tasting salads and wine. I highly recommend Crepe Cafe. Check out their website for menus and wine tasting events.

5 Stars: Absolutely Fabulous (by minnesotan_1981)

Oh my gosh, sooooo good. We went on Half Price Wine Night (Tuesdays) and got a great bottle of wine for only $8 each. The food was AMAZING. Delicate, flavorful, and filling! We each had a regular crepe (J's Crepe and Heaven's Crepe) and a petite (Blueberry and Peanut Butter Chocolate) for dessert. We were stuffed, without being weighed down. A very cute place!

5 Stars: A fantastic restaurant! (by regularstormy)

regularstormy — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 02:00:00 GMT

The crepes are extremely good: fresh ingredients and artfully-prepared plates. Service is fast and attentive. The place is very small, though, so expect to be jammed up close to another party. Top-notch romantic date restaurant! Oh, and if you go to their website to look at their menu, download the PDF files because the items that they show simply on the webpage are only a LIMITED number compared to what they actually have! The PDF files list all of the dishes.

4 Stars: Wonderful Crepes and great service (by sona1)

5 Stars: Delicious food and great service! (by texasaggiegirl)

Between the two of us, we had almost one of everything on the menu. The tomato bisque soup was very tasty, the savory crepes were outstanding, and the dessert crepe - Nutella banana - was a perfect ending! The service was tremendous; we never had to ask for anything and the food came quickly. The quaint cafe had nice atmosphere. I can't wait to go back! I was so impressed that as we left, I told the chef how absolutely delicious everything was and that I couldn't wait to come back! I'm looking forward to also visiting with a glass of wine.

A wonderful neighborhood find. Small, romantic, with exquisitely flavorful crepes. Dinner for 2 cost us $50 with wine. Friendly helpful staff.

5 Stars: Excellent little secret in Ravenna (by jbarager)

jbarager — Sat, 06 Aug 2005 02:00:00 GMT

Stumbled upon this little gem while walking our dog in Ravenna. Crepe menu is outstanding. I was expecting a little pastry and I got a beautifully-presented plate-sized crepe stuffed with chicken, parmesan, ricotta, tomatoes and spinach in pesto sauce. Amazing desserts. Great wine list. Not cheap - dinner for 2 w/ bottle of wine and shared desert came in at $72 with a coupon... but it was a wonderful dinner. Tables are a little close together for intimacy but the ambiance is romantic and comfortable.
