On ne peut pas trouver de crêpes aussi bonnes dans le Michigan! Best crêpes I have had in Michigan and I’m an expert (French so basically the same thing 😃)
I love the French Cow, the ladies are always amazing. We brought our daughter who has a gluten allergy and she loved the Gluten free crepe. They were amazing at customizing her order, with being a picky eater. You won't regret it, so good.
Went 2 consecutive wknds. Did not disappoint.
A hot sunny afternoon in Detroit downtown, we were vacationing surprising a cousin on his birthday… when we heard about the stalls in the eastern market. We, being who we are, always love visiting a local farmers market to get a glimpse of the local food scene. After a lazy morning, having amazing home-brewed coffee (cousin being a coffee connoisseur) to wake us all up, we drove to the eastern market from home. We walked through numerous shops selling everything from clothes to earrings to handbags and finally ended up going to that set of stalls that excite us the most- food. One stall stood out amongst the many there and we decided to try it out. We are all crepe-lovers, generally - having tasted in loads of places for breakfast… this stall had a couple of lovely ladies who were making crepes with a big pleasant smile on their faces - the reason we even wanted to try there!!! First attempted the ‘Scent of New York’ … handed to us piping hot. We walked away not taking a bite, since it was too hot, walked a couple of stalls away before we took the first bite and that is when magic stuck us. It was far from a regular crepe, perfectly seasoned batter and oh my my … that cinnamon powder on that crepes made us all drool. We all got a bite of it, literally fighting for the last piece. Apparently this was the most underrated item of theirs!!! It truly was underrated - it definitely deserved more attention and a bigger audience… we had to go back to try something else. After grazing through the menu, settled on having a savoury crepe… seriously savoury!!!! I would have never had it in any other place… savoury crepe was not something that I was keen on - my husband pushed me (he wanted Italian) and we went for it. Boy boy - it was like we were in Italy in the streets of Rome relishing amazing pizzas… this crepe was Italy wrapped and handed over in your hand…. Enjoyed every cheesy bit of it with the copious amount of cheese, basil and tomatoes… I am not sure if I will ever go back to eastern market in Detroit again but if I do… I am going to this place again… or to wherever they are!!!
Marie’s crepes are incredible, with plenty of classic flavors and unique ones as well!
Fantastic savory and sweet crepes. Worth the trip to the Eastern Market.
The food is absolutely delicious! I got Monique’s Garden, Pigalle, and The Scent of New York. All of them had great flavor! 100% recommend this place! I look forward to trying their other crepes!
Delicious! 👌
I stopped here randomly on my way to my tattoo appointment…OMG it was amazing! The lady helping me was so kind, food was amazing 10/10
Was so excited to have support staff at an event with The French Cow yesterday! As usually the crepes were fabulous, everything was so fresh. Guest interaction is great, individual orders are taken and they get to watch the process of their crepe being made and ask tons of questions. My favorite was the Lemon, Butter, Sugar Crepe!! A great addition to any event!

The absolute best crepes in the US!!! You cannot go wrong with any of the offerings and it’s such a treat when Marie, the owner and founder, is there. You taste the love and care in each bite of these little treasures!!!
We have been enjoying The French Cow crepes for years and always look forward to their pop-ups at Sprout House Market as well as visiting them at Eastern Market. We’ve had them cater events for us as well and the crepes and service were all exceptional! They are a must try!
The French Cow is an Eastern Market gem. Marie puts a lot of love, time, and authenticity into her crêpes. After you place your order, there is a little wait, maybe 15 minutes, but it is worth it and you won’t be disappointed. I just use the time to shop around the Shed. My favorite crêpe is the La Complete. The caramelized onions make the dish.
these are the BEST crepes! Marie puts her whole heart into them and you can taste the high quality and care.
We absolutely love your crepes! We’ve been visiting your shop for about 7 years now and absolutely love every one of them!
