The owner of this restaurant is not autism friendly. I’ve been here three times. The crepes and macarons are always delicious. The front of house staff are amazing.My daughter is autistic and we usually ask for her meals to come in pieces. For instance, Instead of sticking the components in a sandwich, put them on a plate instead. I’ve attached a picture below. We say it doesn’t need to be pretty. She will eat more because they aren’t mixed together. I’m sure there are children who aren’t on the spectrum that would like their meals this way.On our previous visits, the staff at Helena’s have been over the top in accommodating my daughter.Today after our order went to the back, a server came out to tell us that they would make our order today, but would no longer accommodate our request at their restaurant. The server was perfectly nice about it. I apologized for requesting this on a busy day. I clarified if we could still order her sandwich in pieces on a quiet day. I was told it was the owner who said they wouldn’t do it again.Being a parent of a child on the spectrum is extremely isolating. We don’t go out often and are prepared to leave immediately if she bothers anyone. In nine years, though, not one restaurant has told us they wouldn’t serve us for politely asking for help. Helena’s is the first.Kid-friendliness: The owner of this business is not autism friendly.

I was skeptical at first because of my past experiences with tiny crepes, but Helena's did not disappoint!! It was delicious and huge. The place was clean, self-serve coffee refills, and warm friendly wait staff.

This has been a favorite spot of mine for over a decade and I'm so glad it's still around. There aren't very many places to get a crepe, even in Harrisburg and Hershey, and they even have gluten-free ones here! So, now I can continue eating them even now that my diet has changed. They never stop being delicious. My only complaint is that their macarons tend to be dry when you buy them. They must not freeze them overnight. The best macaron flavors are vanilla, lemon, and the coconut. I wish they would make the Oreo one with gluten-free Oreos.
