We came for dessert after dinner. I like the old fashioned décor that is a cross between a Parisian café and a hip diner. We ordered a banana and apple sauce crêpe. The combination was not on the menu, but they allowed it. The crêpe was«mildly» sweet. Yes, there is such a thing. The crêpe itself was mild. The banana was off season, so it wasn’t ripen to sweet. Hence, a delicately and mildly sweet crêpe. I wished it was sweeter, but we ordered what we ordered. Our faults. The coffee was good and rich. Again, not too sweet. Services was very good at ordering and serving. The waitress asked us to close the bill, as it was near the end of her shift. We were allowed to sit for quite a long time afterwards, even there was a line up outside. Cool.

Came here back in December after having past by Café Crêpe a million times and staring at the cooks turn the crepes round and round on the crêpe maker. This place is usually packed so I expected it to be once I arrived with my sisters. Once I got there, the café itself was busy but the walk in area wasn’t too bad. I took a quick look at the menu by the register and got the regular crêpe with just nutella while my sisters got the nutella and strawberries crêpe. I had been craving a crêpe so I knew whatever I got I was going to enjoy it and I did. The crêpe was really hot that the chocolate almost burned the roof of my mouth. These crepes can get pretty messy and they are only handed to you with a piece of hand paper which I thought was a little weird. At least if they had handed it to use with napkins that had the Café Crêpe logo on it, it would make sense. My sisters strawberry and nutella crêpe was a little hard for them to eat that I had to give them my own paper towel napkin as the wet strawberries poured through the paper they put the crêpe in and began dripping down there hands. — really messy if you ask me. They enjoyed the crêpe however it wasn’t anything too spectacular. I prefer ice cream in my crepes but the Nutella did it enough justice for my craving. Would have been nice to stay in the café itself however, there is limited spacing so if you are looking to get a seat at night. good luck!

Had the smoke beef to go. Very yummy and perfect size. It was pretty crowded when I was there but I got my order pretty quick. The guys are fast. Great meal on the go.

I really wanted to enjoy my first visit here. I was 37 weeks pregnant and just walking home from my weekly doctor’s visit at 11am when I decided to stop in for a latte, a crêpe and to rest my swollen feet. I waddled inside and placed my order. I asked if I could be seated at a table or booth so I could rest a bit and was told those were for patrons who were ordering meals and that I had to sit on one of the wobbly high stools against the wall which were clearly unstable for a pregnant woman. I would have left after that remark but I had already placed the order and needed to eat and couldn’t walk any further. I was appalled and was not expecting that especially at 11am and being clearly pregnant. Customer service = fail. The latte was ok, nothing special. And a crêpe is a crêpe with simple ingredients you can order at any crêpe café therefore I will never visit this place again. I was thankful for them allowing me to use the restroom. Surprised I was allowed after that experience.

Café Crêpe was a pleasant surprise for me to learn about. Suprising because tthe review scores weren’t particularly high; but having said that, I thought the food was pretty good! We had a sweet crêpe(nutella & strawberries) and savory crêpe(tuna, egg & mayo). Even days after eating there, I’m still thinking about both crepes and craving more. That to me is a sign of a good experience! We were lucky to have come in and got a table right a way. Minutes later, there was a little line up waiting for tables. I noticed only a few reviews mentioned this, but it’s something to keep in mind when trying to eat here.

From the vibe to the desserts, I love this place. The Nutella milkshake is a must. It’s delicious! A little on the pricey side but it’s a nice indulge once in a while. Their crepes are also nothing short of amazing. My friend has a peanut allergy so they were really great with recommendations and accommodating her. They do get quite busy though, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Expect a bit of a wait for a table and your food. I speak only for myself but I think it’s definitely worth the wait!

I have been coming to this place for a while now. It has a great ambiance and is well suited for many occasions — whether it is a catch up with friends, first date, or late night snack. During the evening rush hour, the joint can be quite crowded so be sure to come early. Over the years, my favourites are still the crepes with fruit inside. The dark chocolate with strawberries and bananas will always be my favourite. I recently had the apple and cinnamon — it was tasty but I found myself eating my dough than toppings.

Food: 5⁄10 Atmosphere: 6⁄10 Service: 7⁄10 Overall experience: 6.5÷10 With all of the innovative and Instagram-worthy dessert places that are popping up, it’s making it harder and harder to consider Café Crêpe for dessert. As a kid, I loved to watch them make in the windows. My favourite on the menu was the lemon and sugar crêpe. I recently had again, and was greeted with a barely warm crêpe, and lack of great citrus flavour. It’s a cute place to take kids who may be more used to ice cream, etc, but it’s lack of innovation and quality of food are keeping it off my to-repeat list. THEBOTTOMLINE: have it once and then move on.

We stopped in for breakfast, and everything was delicious. The prices were a little high, but my ham and swiss crêpe with sweet onion aioli was amazing. With some strawberries on the side, it was a great way to start the day. Not one I could afford every day, but a nice way to splurge on vacation.

*I think this place is still open until now because of the location, which make it essentially a tourist trap. *The service was consistently … bad and snooty servers. *Went here previously, got a sweet crêpe with strawberry ice cream and once it arrived, the ice cream melted already! Thus I inquired the waitress and she told me that’s how the ice cream is supposed to be… Lol. *The décor reminded me of a diner in the 50’s, instead of a Parisian creperie. –Montréal smoked beef, dijon mustard Savoury Crêpe — $ 6.35 The crêpe itself was way too thick and soggy at the same time, and the inside was burnt. They pretty much filled half of the crêpe with the smoked beef and there was too much dijon mustard so the spiciness overpowered the natural flavor of the beef. –Traditional french baguette sandwiches(Prosciutto, bocconcini cheese, tomato, basil, olive oil) — $ 7.75 The baguette was hard and«lightly»(I barely tasted it) drizzled with some olive oil. Bocconcini cheese is essentially egg-sized semi-soft mozzarella cheese and since the flavor is really mild, it needed a lot of «help» to bring out the flavor. The sandwich was tasteless and I could tell the cheese was definitely not fresh as the texture was so hard that I can probably slap someone with it

I got a chicken crêpe and it was so plain. When the waitress brought it to my table, I looked at it and thought to myself«are you sure this is finished?». There was no sauce or garnish on top. It just had some chicken and cheese in it. Aside from that, the wait was very long, especially considering how plain it was. Crepes are easy to make and shouldn’t take more than 10 – 15 min to prepare. I also got the Mandarin orange Italian soda. Not what I was expecting but after I asked the waitress for cream and sugar, it was much better. If you get an Italian soda, make sure you ask for cream and sugar. Not sure why this place was so busy. For a place called Café Crêpe, they aren’t that good at making them.

Want an authentic sweet crêpe just like you have in the streets of Paris? Look no further than Queen Street in Toronto! I wanted to have an authentic Parisian crêpe, so I ordered the plain Nutella. All you Unilocalers convinced me to try strawberries(or bananas) so I ordered strawberries on the side. My theory being it would keep the crêpe from getting water down by the fruit. It did & allowed me to have the authentic experience. And for the sociability of the waitstaff? They’re working, leave ‘em alone! Ha ha. They did make a crêpe for me(when they didn’t have to) so I could get a picture through the outside window. They might not be chatty, but they sure are nice!

We had breakfast here on our trip to Toronto. My husband and I each ordered a crêpe and coffee. The coffee was okay but nothing special. The crepes were solidly good and very filling. I had the Florentine crêpe, which was good but had wayyyyyyyyyy too much cheese. I ended up having to eat around some of the cheese. My husband had the ham, swiss, and egg crêpe and enjoyed it. Prices were reasonable and the service was fine.

There is a reason the kitchen is in the front window, and the window is open: so as you walk by your eyes and nose are immediately attracted. You can only walk past this place so many times before you need to go in. The variety alone will kill you! Between the long list of savoury and sweet crêpe creations, there is something for everyone. I had just finished dinner, so desert was in order. I had the dark chocolate, caramel and coconut crêpe. It was the perfect blend of flavours and sweetness. The worst part of waiting for my take-away crêpe was in watching other crepes being made. I seriously wanted to change my order several times before my order was in my grasp. The angst of wondering if you’ve made the right decision is a killer. But there is always next time…

I was immediately attracted to this place as soon as we stepped in. The aroma was to die for. I ordered the Nutella crêpe. Yes plain and simple as is, topped with a scoop of chocolate ice cream. You can never have enough chocolate! It was very nice and filling. Service was great. Our waitress Theresa was very kind and smiley. We were served fairly quickly as well & the café was very busy.

This place is mediocre at best. I came here with my sister on a late Thursday night around 10:30. Thank goodness we didn’t have to wait 30 minutes just to be seated. It was pretty much a full house because all the other seats were occupied. A couple next to us decided they weren’t going to spend the rest of their anniversary in a busy, loud location so they left. At first, my sister and I didn’t notice. We got our drink orders taken, followed by a prompt«hurry up and order your bloody crêpe» tone of «are you ready to order.» We didn’t even look at the menu for 5 minutes. As my sister and I started chit chatting, we realized how loud the place is. I was literally right beside my sister screaming trying to get a word in. A huge group of 20 young adults seated at the back literally made it impossible for any conversation to happen. The waiters weren’t saying or doing anything about the noise. We Couldn’t even here the music. And as much as the noise is out of the waiters hands, they could have asked the guests to keep it down a little. It’s an establishment that’s not established. My sister was getting a migraine since loud noises aren’t her thing. We shoved the crepes down our throats and left. Their crepes are again mediocre at best. It just has a crap load of Nutella and everyone loves Nutella. If I ever go again, it’ll most likely be for go. I’d never wanna sit there and be rushed by servers or have my ear drums burst.

The BF and I are getting take-out cause we’re too lazy to even leave the house for brunch. First, they annoy the hell outta my poor adorable boyfriend by not understanding what«custard» means. The man on the phone asked him if he wanted«mustard» on crepes for gods sake. Finally, the dude understands what we want but they don’t have it. What kinda crêpe place are you running here? How the hell can you have patron, club sandwiches, and paninis on the menu(all things not even tangentially related to crepes) but you don’t have custard. So anyways, I get the damn crepes with whipped cream instead. The BF picks up the crepes and there ain’t even whipped cream on them. And the strawberries were all gross. I have to admit that the BFs nutella, grand marnier, and walnut crêpe was delicious. But I am hella unimpressed. And we are never coming here again. Unless we want patron at a creperie for some inexplicable reason.

Had an absolutely mind blasting experience here yesterday. That’s mostly related to the service quality — my friend and I wanted to order a dessert after the main dishes and our lovely server offered to time it so that it arrives right after we finish eating our meals. And it did happen exactly on time. Moreover, she also split our bill AND split our shared dessert crêpe between us w/o us even asking to do so! I always give kudos(in terms of higher tips) to the restaurants/cafes that split my bills without giving me grief for doing so, but this just exceeded all my expectations(honestly how often do you get a split shared dessert/meal on your bill w/o asking for it?) Well in short: I love this place=) And yeah dark chocolate+caramel crêpe is delicious and so is vegetarian one=)

Somehow magically beating the dinner rush on a Friday night(it’s jam packed with people waiting by 8pm) all 6 of us got sat almost as soon as we walked in. The restaurant was already looking quite full at point. I got the spinach and feta cheese which was substantial, although I expected a bit more spinach. Or feta. My boyfriend got the pulled beef with mushrooms, onions, and Dijon mustard. AMAZING. The crêpe was stuffed with the beef and would satisfy any savoury tastebud out there. So tip: don’t get the one, or two ingredient crepes. Get everything your heart desires. Go hard or go home. Also the crepes cost less than $ 10 and are really filling. The savoury crepes don’t look like anything special(even though they taste amazing), but the desserts are so cute! You get ice-cream and chocolate drizzle on your crêpe which makes it a true dessert. The server could be a bit more attentive, but you can tell she was trying! It was a full house with lots of people waiting, but smiling a bit always helps! I would definitely come here with a bunch of friends again.
