What I really like this place, is that it is all about the food and the college kids. When I went to college, which was a long time ago, it was all about value meals. Lots of food and well priced and this place delivers. Although the name is Crispy Crepes, they also have a really good selection of Mediterranean Plates, like falafel, shawarma and more. My mushroom, ham and cheese was good. Both the ham and mushroom were really fresh and you can tell that they were nice and fresh ingredients. The cheese, may have been the Velveeta kind, but I do believe that it made for a great combination with the ham and mushrooms, because it melted well in your mouth. My wife loved her Chicken Shawarma sandwich, which also had very flavorful and nice combination of ingredients. What she liked the most is how they press the pita sandwich, so that it comes out nice and crunchy. My daughter loved her Nutella/Chocolate Crepe, she said that there was plenty of it inside the crepe and the whipped cream was like icing on the cake. Service was fast, again, this is a college place and I think that this is being run to serve food fast and cater to the college crowd that keeps coming in and out. Parking can be challenging, because this is on Commonwealth Avenue a few blocks away from Kenmore Square. We got lucky, because it was Sunday and during Spring Break weekend and not sure about how the rest of the week would look like, but if you live in the area and you want a quick bite, this place is good. The place may need a bit of updating, but as I said in the beginning, this is about food and college kids. Great value for our meal and definitely one that we will come back, when we are in the area! Cheers!

I'm sorry to say this place is a bit of a dump. The staff is friendly and the food is okay. It's cramped and dirty.

Was looking for a good dessert place after a lovely dinner near BU but it's almost impossible because there's quite literally 0 things around except ice cream and this lovely gem. Nutella and strawberry crepe (10/10): affordable and packed, they do not skimp on the Nutella or strawberries. Had to share it with another person to finish it all! The cashier was really sweet. I appreciate him being patient with my indecisiveness. They have a wide selection of crepes, ranging from savory to sweet as well as other foods. It's a small cafe, but they made use of their space. It seems like the ideal place to come grab a treat with your friends and chat. Cozy yet very casual. I would love to come back and try their other options!

The owner/chef is extremely passionate about what he does and it is reflected in the food. Amazing corned beef hash, perfectly seasoned potatoes, and overall just a great experience.

Cute locally owned Haitian bakery! We got an assortment of pastries which were delicious and definitely will come back to try some of the meat pies and juices. Staff are friendly and welcoming, limited seating but gets great morning

The people who work here are so nice and incredibly efficient. I've come here so many times with my friends and have never been disappointed by the food. It's a gift to be able to find a place so homey so far from it. Amazing people!
One of the best places on BU campus. Service is phenomenal, and food is great for the price. Super filling meal in a nice spot.

Amazing cafe with great prices, service, and food! Been going here for a while and I've made it part of my routine. EXCELLENT breakfast and crepe options, but that's not all that they have!

Avoid! They say it's Halal restaurant and they serve ham, bacon and alcohol they mix everything on the same grill which is disgusting. Hygiene is neglected and the place smells

Good and reasonably priced crepes. Coffee is limited to basic selections but not bad.
