Olio The Crepe Kitchen

I placed an order through eat 24, paid to park and when I got inside the business had cancelled my order.

This place is great. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, it’s all good. I really dig the American crêpe. Portions for sandwiches and crepes are large so you get plenty of food for your money. Service is always friendly and excellent. The thing that really makes this place though is you can order a traditional macchiato and get it served in a real ceramic espresso cup, not a huge paper cup.

Excellent Crepes! Must try– I had the «American» with Swiss, mozzarella, avocado, arugula, basil, lemon, artichokes, and sautéed mushrooms, it also came with a small salad, the presentation was nice, not over the top. For dessert I the «Oui Oui» with honey, walnuts, banana, strawberries, powder sugar, whipped cream
The chef was very nice and helped with giving the clave a nice comfortable atmosphere

This place is a little hidden gem in this neighborhood. We couldn’t find it at first because the metro train construction was covering it, but it’s there!
I am a fan of dessert crepes and we ordered the Crème de la Crème. This crêpe has strawberries, banana, nutella, powdered sugar and whipped cream for only $ 7 and it’s huge! This is a type of crêpe that you have to share because one is a lot for one person.

Loved the food. Great customer service. Cool spot to chill before an audition at 5225 Wilshire.

So i was driving by and almost stopped at jack in the box for lunch but saw this place. I love the design and the employees were very friendly. I had the grilled chicken pesto with salad then had the qui qui crêpe oh my god soooo good! The food was made fresh and tasted fresh. the crêpe was made when ordered I definitely recommend this to my friends/​family and everyone that’s reading this.

The service is excellent! They were very welcoming and the food is amazing! My friend ordered the «Mexicali Crêpe» and she loves it. I ordered the «chicken pesto «crêpe and the «crêpe de la crème». Everything was delicious and my coffee or rather my expresso with Nutella was beyond satisfying in the words of my Amiga to the Chef… «Can I take you home?!» Lol.

I love this place. The woman who works there makes this place shine. She cares! She cares how she prepares the food, how she greets her customers, she likes her job… typically when someone is happy they make better food, and a happy warm environment.
The crepes are fantastic. I had the vegetarian crêpe (American)? And the ingredients tasted good fresh and the crêpe was soft tasty deliciousness.
Thank you!

Great food at a great price! The menu is varied and interesting they often have daily specials and you are ever unsure what you want the owner Yafit is always happy to give you suggestions. Its a very well decorated and cozy spot with wifi and always some relaxing music playing in the background. The coffe is second to none especially the dirty chai latte! A great plate to grab a quick cpffe or sit and enjoy an exquisite meal.

Cute little place by attached to my casting building. The people were super friendly and the food came out fast. They pretty much have Nutella by the bucket here and even offer it in drinks… omg!
I just got a small salad with turkey because I was in a rush but the home made balsamic dressing they tossed it in was so good! I wanted to lick the plate!

Good food. Quick. Clean. Friendly staff. Been there several times, and I will be back.

Nice cozy joint you got here!
Will definitely come back for more of these delicious crepes!
THANKS!!!

This place is good if you are able to make it!
Their hours are hard to make and if you want this for dinner, forget it!
If you are able to place an order I suggest you do that!
The owner here is very sweet and passionate about her food. The way she plated my to-​go order looked like I was about to have it there. Parking is hectic, but then again we are in Los Angeles. I loved the crêpe I had but the sandwich lacked ingredients. The sandwich had more bread and greens than anything else. I’m a meatatarian so I didn’t enjoy my sandwich as much. Glad I had a crêpe to eat afterwards!

This stretch of Wilshire around La Brea is a funny place. It is a major crossroads and intersection where it’s congested with traffic, with road work for the new metro, and new buildings being constructed or already constructed. It is a major hub of the new slowly blossoming L.A. that now stretches from established Silverlake, Echo Park, Downtown, Koreatown, Baldwin Hills, Miracle Mile, and on towards Fairfax.
The transformation that is happening all around us in L.A. is personified by this intersection. It used to be pretty seedy and empty with lots of wig shops, offices, small 7 – 11, Burger King, & Jack in the Box strip malls. BTW, why are wig shops fixtures of seedy streets??? Some people told me how seedy Hollywood and Vine used to be with head shops, wig shops, hookers.etc.I forgot, I think there used to be more hookers on Wilshire too. Haha.
Small restaurants, cafes, bars are making a quiet stand here with the stretch of La Brea right below Wilshire slowly filling up with stores and restaurants. However, there are really no great breakfast places in this area. Crêpe Kitchen is one of the vanguard of this new L.A.: a cosy, casual, easy, and intimate eatery with choice selections of delicious crepes, sandwiches, and great coffee. Mediocre food or ingredients are things of the past for our new world.
Yafit and Eirini are the perfect new generation Angelenos whose families come from different countries but who fit in perfectly in this strange and unmanageable city of ours. They are both passionate about food, coffee, love, life, and family and friends. That’s in the shape and the taste of their food. They also created a cosy casual European ambiance in this small space with black walls and cute pictures.
The crepes are full, rich, and thin and bursting with fresh organic ingredients. The sweet gooey creamy crepes are perfect with their full coffee or espresso drinks. Love their lattes that they can make with milk or almond milk. You will feel good after eating their food because of the care and love they put into the selection of the ingredients and into the taste of their food. Try their soups and it will warm your heart.

This place is fantastic. I live across the street and walk over on the weekends. Fresh crepes, fresh ingredients, great service from owners (assuming two ladies are the owners since they are always there). I was so pleased the first time that I brought menus to the reception for my building. Such a treat!
Highly recommend. Hopefully the car loan /​loanshark next door eventually moves out. Seems like the neighborhood is improving!

I love this place… First of all their coffee beans are «Roasted NOT Toasted»!!!
Yafit and Eirini make one mean cappuccino with Almond milk! I am addicted to this stuff.
The chicken pesto sandwich is DELICIOUS.
Usually i have half sandwich, salad and soup combo for lunch, and i am very satisfied… I don’t go to work all lethargic after my meal. its perfect!
The savory crepes are extremely good too! I haven’t had the chance for a sweet crêpe, but each time i see one being made i salivate!
I love the fact that everything is organic, you can see all the fresh vegetable and fruits in a refrigerator display as soon as you walk in the shop!
Bottom line is that everything is so tasty in this place that i trust to walk in and just say «I want lunch» without looking at the menu!!!
Keep up the good work Yafit and Eirini!

Holy crepes, Batman. I have a tiny tummy and still cleaned a large plate. And then I felt like I had died and gone to heaven. The fruit was fresh and perfect and the crêpe was light and also perfect. I will be coming back as often as possible.
Crème DE LA crem is right. The owner is amazing and kind and caring and totally makes you feel at home. I plan to eat here often.

Came here to FINALLY use my groupon that was going to expire the next day.
They close at 4 during the weekdays and are closed on the weekends, which made it very difficult for me to stop by this place.
When I walked in, one thing that got to me was their not so satisfactory customer service. Wasn’t the friendliest. Their food was okay. I ordered the turkey pesto sandwich and one of the crepes. I’m pretty sure the turkey pesto sandwich wasn’t fresh because the one laying in the display suddenly disappeared after I ordered. However, the crêpe was pretty good so I’d recommend the crêpe. Do NOT order the chai latte. Wasn’t up to par but their iced latte was surprisingly good. They have really good strong tasting coffee which definitely took me by surprise.
I probably would never have come here if I hadn’t purchased a groupon and honestly, probably won’t be making another visit.

I was finally able to redeem my groupon! They are closed on the weekends and during the week they are only until 5. It is tough to go here unless you work/​live around the area.
Parking is a headache but there are plenty of meters around.
Ordered the turkey pesto on wheat baggette. It was delicious! I got it with ice coffee and it was refreshing.
A nice experience, great customer service. I highly support local places and I would definetely go back here again.

Fantastic little café and lunch spot! You can really tell all the ingredients are fresh. The crepes and turkey pesto sandwich are absolutely delicious however they’re a bit on the petite side. This means that you’ll need to order 3 items to get 2 people full which will equal approx $ 25 for a couple. I would highly recommend this place for light lunches or dates for its cute venue and décor. The plating and presentation of the dishes are delightful, and there are roses placed at each table.
I got the Americano Coffee and I could tell it was of high quality however it is tailored towards strong coffee lovers. It’s roasted overnight which means the taste is very strong and bitter. Try another beverage if you’d like a lighter drink.
You can’t go wrong with these dishes cause nutella and pesto make everything delicious!
Crème de la crème — nutella with strawberries, bananas and whipped
Grecian crêpe — sun dried tomatoes, feta, spinach, and whipped avocado
Turkey Pesto — toasted bread, turkey, pesto sauce, and cheese
Prices:
Sweet and Savory Crepes $ 7 – 8 each
Sandwiches $ 7 – 8
Coffee — $ 3 – 4
Overall 3.5 stars
The only downsides for me are petite portions and unremarkable side salads. The side salads seemed to be fillers; they definitely need to add some type of special sauce to spice it up!
An alarming note is … me and my friend got bitten by ticks inside this restaurant and there weren’t even any pets around during our meal. I’m sure the problem is resolved now but it was very inconvenient as we started to feel itchy towards the end of our meal. We were there for a little over an hour so we’re sure we got bitten inside. I know this isn’t the owner’s fault but it’s honest to bring it to one’s attention. This does not effect my overall rating.
