Really wanted to love this place. The menu is quite overpriced for the options. I ordered the French toast entree which was ~$23. Worth it IMO for great French toast! I added 2 scrambled eggs, 1 fresh lemonade= $32. Turns out the entree is *one* French toast and it came with a tiny cup of real maple syrup. $23 for this. When I needed a little more maple syrup, they brought a tiny cup of the fake stuff which I unfortunately poured on my French toast. No fresh OJ, no one checked...

Lovely little creperie in old town. The food is good and the atmosphere reminds me of a French café. I like that it’s family-friendly too; saw a few children while I dined there for brunch. Prices are okay. I didn’t know there was a surcharge for using card instead of cash until I got the check so be prepared for that. 4 stars instead of 5 because the service was slow.

23$ for a crepe is crazy, it should be illegal to make a French person pay that much for a crepe around Chandeleur. (Joke)
Lovely staff, lovely place. I took the Moroccan crepe (spinach/feta/mint) and was not particularly impressed but my friend took the parisien and really liked it. All crepes are gluten free and made from buckwheat, so more similar to the east atlantique Breton crepe than the typical Parisian crepe.
Nice cappuccino, definitely needs sugar for...
