I was really excited to try this place because I love French cafes and crepes. Unfortunately, everything I read about it is basically false advertising. First of all, the place is a dump. Seems dirty and dingy and extremely dated. Second, they claimed to have pastries and croissants but there was nothing at all in the case. When we asked, our server (who was also a cook, cashier, busboy and maybe owner?), told us the pastries are "only on weekends." It doesn't say that on the menu and their website is down. As for the food - my "mixed berry" crepe was not hot and the berries were frozen and still quite cold. He drowned it in powdered sugar, which didn't help. The taste of the crepe itself was ok, but clearly premade. My husband had the vegetable crepe and couldn't even finish it. It came with shredded, completely unmelted cheese on top. Just ridiculous and almost inedible. It's like they just don't care. Overall, I couldn't wait to get out of there and we won't be back. The people rating this five stars have obviously never been to France nor had authentic French crepes.

* S'mores crepe was good, but very sweet. * Service was good. * Ambience was pleasant, as it was French themed.

OMG the crepes here are fantastic! The strawberry Nutella crepe was not extremely sweet as it is usually prepared in most restaurants, it was just the perfect balance. Coffee was very very good, and my son loved the hot chocolate (he's not too picky though).I came here just to get a croissant and it was a shame that they didn't have any. However, I was so happy we tried the crepes.

Popped in here for crepes one morning. All four of us enjoyed our dishes. Hard to find good crepe shops in the area so I'm glad this is here.

The ambiance is straight out of a European-style bistro. The food is consistent with excellent quality and flavor. The espresso is amazing. The owner is super nice. It's really good there!

Service is so off. Cancelled online order, but charged my card. Placed order again in person. Took over 40 min. for the small order, then gave me one order less. Had to wait again. They need to get their act together. Don’t recommend this place at all.

Staying close to the airport for a convention, we came upon this place on Yelp. It's about a 10 mins drive from the airport. Small cozy place. We came right at opening so we were the only customers, but it got busy fast! Pretty extensive menu with lots of options - I'm sure everyone can find something they like. I had the Greekfast, my husband had the breakfast burrito and the kids each had some sort of chocolate crepe. Everything was great! Service was friendly and attentive. My kids said everything was so good, and the chocolate pudding crepes were amazing.

The crepes are a perfect blend of thin, delicate, and filled with amazing flavors. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service create the ideal setting for enjoying both sweet and savory crepes.
