Crepe Works

I had the nutella, banana, and toasted coconut crêpe for breakfast then spent a couple hours at the water park and several hours shopping. I couldn’t get that flavor out of my head so I had to come back for a second helping for dinner! Would definitely recommend!

The most disgusting crepes ever! I wish I could give it 0 stars! $ 8 for a huge blob of disgusting artery clogging whipped cream as the filling! Yuk!

When I lived in Japan, crepes were sold by street vendors at major events and it was something I always looked forward too — getting a hot off-​the-​grill crêpe filled with whipped cream and strawberries while I wandered a night market or cultural event. I always thought something like that would be a million dollar idea here too for things like the Fringe, Taste of Edmonton, Street Performers Festival, etc.
When I heard from a friend that someone had opened a crêpe shop in West Edmonton Mall, I was excited to go and try it out.
I went this weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the plethora of menu options — crepes with strawberries, bananas, oranges, even savoury ones with sandwich meat!
I tried a strawberry delight crêpe. The crêpe was a bit thicker/​heavier than I remembered, but it wasn’t too bad. The fillings were disappointing though. Instead of the whipped cream and fresh strawberries I remembered from my time abroad, I’m pretty sure I got a mix of strawberry jam, a couple strawberry slices and some cool-​whip.
Taste-​wise, it tasted okay, but it wasn’t as fresh and filling as I remembered it. Still, if you’re looking for something other than ice cream or cookie for dessert, give this place a whirl.

Tried two items here: a savory and a dessert crêpe.
Both were disappointing. I guess I’m just used to crêpe stands that fill the crepes up a little more. Maybe it was an off day? I’m not sure but I definitely didn’t feel that it was a good value nor were the flavors paired well.
The savory one needed more flavors — could hardly find the protein in the giant lettuce. And the sweet one was overly sugary — I missed the fresh taste that I was looking forward to with the fruit.
Not sure we’ll give this place another try.

I thought this was a really neat idea when I noticed this place one fine day during one of my rare visits to West. Ed. So I thought I would give it a try — well, sure glad I did! Despite the not so positive reviews previous to mine I thought this place was WONDERFUL! Nice to have something in a food court that is not deep fried and is maybe just a little different. I tried the terryaki chicken crêpe. They made it right in front of me which I thought was neat. It was delicious! And just the right amount of food for me and I was starving at the time (mind you I am tiny and tend not to be able to ever finish regular food portions).
It would be nice to see a few more ‘meal’ type crepes on the menu (they are slightly limited) — it’s mostly fruit/​dessert type crepes. The staff there were really friendly which was awesome so I would definitely try this place again (and maybe I need to check out some of the other creperies around town mentioned in previous reviews!).

Love crepes. I don’t eat them often but I usually get one while I am at West Ed and they are delicious at Crepeworks.
They have such a great selection that goes anywhere from California chicken to banana supreme. Yes, some are desserts and others are not! They have a larger selection of sweet crepes and personally I like the sweet crepes.
Definitely worth checking out when you are shopping.

I love crepes. Authentic crepes, so this place isn’t much to write home about. I guess my hopes were too high for this place, considering it is a fast food joint at West Ed.
It’s pricey for the quality you get, and you won’t get full on just one either. Then again, ask yourself if you can eat more than one first.
The service is fast, but again, it’s fast food. I paid nearly $ 7 for a single strawberry crêpe, and needless to say, I was disappointed. I expected to be handed a fluffy crêpe on a plate so I could eat it with a knife and fork, but when the girl handed me this contraption that looked like a funnel made out of dough, I was dumbfounded. What? Eat a crêpe with my hands? I’m pretty sure the French don’t do it like that …
So go crazy if you don’t mind eating bland crepes burrito-​style. But if you’re holding out for the better stuff, I suggest The Creperie downtown. At least your bucks are worth the bites there.

Just the thought of crepes makes my salivary glands stand up and sing the French national anthem. A rare form of Tourrette’s, perhaps? Those culinary geniuses, who gave us the gift of crepes, soufflé, Croque Monsieurs (au gratin, of course!) and French fries dipped in mayonnaise, created something that’s hard to reproduce. That’s why Crêpe Works is so devastatingly disappointing. My mouth was watering as the very un-​French batter girl spread the mystery ingredients on the grill. It looked good, it smelled good, but it tasted… mech. It was half-​cold in the inside, the ham in my ham’n’cheese crêpe was cheap and fatty. The fresh parmasen hadn’t melted all the way through, so it was hard like rind, and the flavours just weren’t those of the crepes I ate in France and never quite was able to forget. It’s like different pancake batters: they all tend to look the same, but they don’t all taste the same. Crêpe Works, you should have got your recipe from the Frenchie’s. I hear the Creperie on Whyte is awesome, though I’ve never been there. It’ s also a little pricey apparently, but I’ll have to try it and save that for another review.
