Very nice staff and we don’t mind that on Sunday afternoon not all options were available anymore.Unfortunately our Crepes were cold and the blueberries on one were gone bad already. There was mold on it!!!After complaining we got a refund of 9.50 and the offer for a new one that we declined. This should never happen and I would have expected a more honest apology.

They pay attention to the details here. It is not just the presentation, the food is EXCELLENT. If you are looking for a good place to get breakfast and want good portions, check this place out.

Croissant didn't taste fresh and had a funky flavor. The crepe has a sauce that wasn't expected and it was disappointing. Selection of food and pastries were lacking and were different than what's on the photos here on Yelp. Won't return

We love hanging out. Last night we came to this superb place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a lovely experience there with delicious dishes and a well-trained crew and a talented cuisine. We put this venue in our list and we will definitely visit again soon. We highly recommend.

Service is very prompt here! Everyone is friendly. Food is great and fresh seafood (ahi tuna and the scallop) with the decent price!

This was suppose to be an Americano coffee. I order to DoorDash of course they can't open the container to verify that is inside because of COVID. The sandwich that I order roasted Xa Xiu pork was dry not enough sauce. I am very disappointed. I won't never order again from them.

This place is amazing! I've tried about 4 different desserts so far and they have all been 10/10. The quality is great and you can tell the chef is classically trained in French pastries. The food is also excellent. The banh mi is my favorite. I live in the neighborhood and this is my favorite lunch spot. The staff is also super sweet and has helped recommendations when I'm buying desserts for others.

I always like places that try to keep the creperie alive. I had the chipotle veggie. There was so much chipotle sauce that it overpowered all the other flavors. Since the crepe was soaked through, you can't even taste it. Second I'd say that a crepe should wrap up the food, like a wrap or burrito. The crepe I had in Paris was hand-held street food, not fork and knife food. With Gabi's crepe there was so much filling that it was like a pancake topped with everything else. I would take the same amount of filling and wrap them in two crepes (with a lot less sauce).

Never going back. Rude service. Expensive. Poor quality. I asked for a ham and cheese croissant, not a ham and cheese AND EGG croissant. Bought 2 of them. Threw both away because I cant eat egg.

Stale "spicy chicken crepe" and dry tiramisu. When was that tiramisu made anyway, how on earth is it so freakydry. Did you guys freeze it? Threw the Chicken crepe after havinv just one bite. It earned the right place to be- my trash bin. How on earth do you guys have 4 star rating? Did you buy all those stars! Man your crappy food

Gabi's gave me a chance to savor a delicious tuna sandwich on crunchy dough sitting at a simple outdoor table in the weak yet pleasant November sun. Accompanied by a creamy cappuccino, it was a welcome outdoor break from the usual life of confinement that we find ourselves in. Bill's cafe next door was packed, while I seemed to be the only one here. I say walk over to here and give their awesome menu of crepes and sandwiches a shot.

No frills, casual dining cafe. Counter service and there were tables outside in the shade.Food was good overall, albeit a bit overly seasoned.Gabi Omelette was filled with veggies but a bit spicy. Crepes were a bit soft, but fully filled. The sauce on top was too much.Pork bhan mi was just okay. We took out a huge jalapeno slice as it made the sandwich too spicy. Chicken noodle soup was good.Good for a quick meal

What a delightful little spot with so many goodies! I got the spinach, egg, and mushroom crepe which was excellent. It was more French than American. i.e. delicate crepe and not very large. Super sweet girl at the counter too. I am going back for the macarons they make themselves.

We used to love Gabi's Petite Cafe. We've been coming here for years, but recently have been left very disappointed with the quality of the food and pastries. On our last visit we ordered a few different pastries, cut them into pieces and shared them between our family. We all agreed, the pastries tasted and felt old and not fresh, and it was especially obvious with the cream horn. The "cream" inside was literally stiff :( and the outer shell was dry and crumbly. I will post pictures, we just bought the pastries and the cream was solid like butter. We ordered a coconut pastry, and I bit into it and found a hair inside the cream/pastry. The macarons, the shells were stiff and dry, and there was barley any filling. We also regularly order the banh mi sandwiches, and on our most recent visits, the chicken was dry... and once again... just didn't taste or feel fresh. I'm sorry to say it but they lately just haven't been delivering the same quality as before. I really hope this improves because this was one of our favorite spots, for a quick and satisfying meal and with options for desserts and coffees. But if the quality continues to be inconsistent it definitely makes us reconsider driving out and spending our money because depending on what you're getting, the pastries are not cheap!
