Cream of the Crêpe

One of the best places I visited in Chicago great customer service the owner very kind .its worth to try you will not disappoint …

A hidden gem! My friend and I had brunch here yesterday. She had been there before and highly recommended it! I must admit that I was skeptical because I am not a big fan of crepes! Oh my, I was so pleasantly surprised! They have both savory and sweet crepes and we had both. We had a chicken florentine crêpe, sweetheart crêpe, and strawberry cheesecake crêpe. They were all very generous portions and the price was right. The server was attentive without hovering. I will definitely be back! So glad to have stumbled upon this gem!

This place is great and I eat here all the time! The owner, Mohammed, is super friendly and makes a mean crêpe. I always receive the best customer service and the metropolis crêpe is my favorite (chicken florentine is my husband’s). I was in there last week and he had a chicken pesto (homemade) panini as the special. It was delicious. He told me he is going to be putting more panini’s on the menu. He also told me that he is working on getting homemade pastries in the front case of the restaurant too. I saw another reviewer comment negatively on the interior of the restaurant. Personally, I would rather have the owner be putting all of his energy into the menu, ingredients and ensuring the high quality of the food rather than be judged on the décor. I love supporting local businesses and I would highly recommend going here for lunch, dinner or dessert!

I love this place! Their cappuccino is the best I ever had. The chocolate croissant & the Nutella crêpe were so yummy! Every time I taste different kind of crêpe & was never disappointed. The place is clean, the prices are reasonable & the owner is passionate for what he does & friendly. I will keep going there for sure!

Great food and a very friendly atmosphere I really like their coffee is very smooth comparing to Starbucks. Mohammed is very friendly and took his business to another level I really recommend the food once again you have to try it to believe it

Great atmosphere, staff, and food. I was so impressed by the delicious crepes. They were fluffy and filling and some of the best I’ve ever had even in Paris!

Tried this place for The first time with my sister and we both agreed these were one of the best crepes we have tried. Pleasant experience and the owner was very nice and helpful! I will definitely come back:)

What a great place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack or dinner!
This was my first time here, as a crêpe virgin. I was pleasantly surprised by all of the sweet and savory filling options.
The friends I dined with ordered the turkey and raspberry crepes. I ordered the veggie and it was delicious; albeit the green pepper-I’d omit that the next time. Two of us split the turtle crêpe for dessert. Yum-​O! I could have eaten just that for lunch. The crepes are also very large, so they’re a nice value for your money.
Aesthetically, the inside of the restaurant kind of reminded me of an Orange Leaf frozen yogurt shop. Maybe it was because of the bold orange and green color choices on the walls. The floors were slick enough that my chair was moving all over the place… kind of a pain when you’re stuffing your face with deliciousness. Aside from the aforementioned, the place was clean and the guy (owner?) working was friendly.
As other reviews have mentioned, it’d be nice to see some treats in the display cases. Customers would definitely purchase items to-​go if they were available and visible.
My Pom-​Berry tea was tasty. The biscotti on the side was a nice touch.
The shop was quiet at 12:30 in the afternoon, but by the time 2:30 rolled around the place was filling up.
I’ll definitely be back. Lots of other crepes I’d like to try.

I’ve been putting off trying this place as it always seems to be empty. I remember seeing them on groupon once but didn’t get around to buying one. Today, I tried the Chicken Florentine crêpe for a late lunch. I walked in, it was completely empty with only the owner sitting inside. It was really quiet, with some kind of light music playing very very softly in the background. Their display case was empty as well. It was a really awkward atmosphere, but the owner was really nice and friendly. I think he was disappointed that I was taking my order to go.
I personally think the prices are a bit on the high end, but my crêpe was really yummy and filling. Their sweet selections are more affordable ($ 6+/crêpe) and the savory ones range around $ 8+/crêpe. I think maybe the prices just didn’t reflect the atmosphere of the café? The café idea is great, it just doesn’t have a very inviting environment. The mood is too quiet and bland. I think if the music/​décor was updated, this place would be a huge hit. I’d be willing to come back and try some other crepes.

Have been meaning to try this place for months. Finally made it tonight. 2 of us walked in, greeted by a very friendly gentleman and ordered some sweet crepes to go. Fruit was fresh cut in front of us, big plus! Crepes were cooked perfectly not rubbery like some other places. Came home and ate them an hour later and they were delicious!
Can’t wait to try more!

Bit of a sparse looking place, kind of in the middle of nowhere. We found this after skating at Rosemont.
Not much to be said for décor. Some sparse Parisian prints on the wall, in contrast with a coke fridge and some plastic flowers and Moroccan lamps that looked a little out of place. Come to think of it, the entire place felt a bit like it could have been a repurposed falafel place. :p That said, it was very clean.
One of our knives came with a speck of chocolate on it though. NBD.
We came in at 4:30pm on Sunday and the display counter was empty, which was a little depressing.
Crêpe was fine. We got the strawberry nutella one. Not the best I’ve ever tasted, but it got the job done. Nothing overtly wrong with it.
Tea was loose, which was nice. Large cups. Only four types, but they cover the gamut.
Would come again if we were in the area, I guess, but don’t go out of your way. A solid meh.

The crepes are delicious and the staff is friendly. I wish they are open a little bit later, especially in weekends!

Awesome Crepes! My husband and I stopped to check them out. They were very helpful on telling us about the crepes. I got mine custom ordered as I didn’t want certain items in mine. I had no extra charge for the change or the other items in my crêpe. This was a «I don’t know» place when we saw it. It is now «Let’s go» place.

Crepes are delicious! I had the salmon. My bf chose the sweet crêpe. The coffee was good and the service was very good.
Either Unilocal or Google Maps has the place across the street from the actual place. Somebody should check their directions. It’s Unilocal that has the wrong Map of directions. It shows up on the map as 79 – 99 Northwest Highway. Wrong! It’s 8 S. Northwest Highway!

Love this place! Definitely was surprised to find such an amazing crêpe-​focused restaurant so close to our hotel, but it was a pleasant surprise.
They serve the two «types» of crepes here — both savory crepes and sweet crepes. Unlike most restaurants, they get pretty creative with their crêpe types as well. Check out their website for the full menu (and prices!), but you can expect delicious things like S’mores crepes. They also sell coffees — including «frou frou» coffee like frappes. You can order your meal to eat here or to go, but if you eat here, with the limited amount of tables, I could see this place getting pretty bustling and loud during peak hours.
Impressed by the crêpe selection as well — especially the pricing! We paid less than $ 20 for drinks and crepes — and had enough food that neither of us could finish our plates. It was impressive, and I love how they price things. The Santa Fe crêpe tasted very savory — pretty close to a breakfast omelette, I’d say. The S’mores crêpe had a seriously chocolate taste to it, and it was quite delicious! Almost too chocolate-​y at times, so make sure you have an intense chocolate craving before seeking that one out.
We came on two separate days, and I can totally see how some people get amazing service and some people get a more gruff, rough type of service. It turns out that this is a family-​owned business, and both brothers work here. The brother we had the first night was super friendly and chatted us up and told us about the menu and basically was all-​around a nice guy. When we came back the next morning, it was the other brother who worked here. He seems much more business-​oriented and was much more efficient and to-​the-​point.
Parking is a bit of a pain. The shop is located in a «main street ish» shopping type of district, so we had to park two blocks away. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot. The nearby alleyway is not to be used for parking. You might need to drive around a bit before you find a spot, but it’s certainly nothing like downtown Chicago or anything.
Would definitely come back here in a heartbeat. Crepes were really good and I loved being able to support a small business.

Excellent atmosphere, authentic and a warm feel. The owners are involved and run a great shop. I’m excited for the bakery items to be introduced. The breakfast crepes are top notch.

Hubby took me out for breakfast here as a surprise! Loved it! Loved it! I had the breakfast Rise N Shine, and hubby had the Philly Cheese Steak and BOTH were delicious. Chef told us he’s updated the crêpe recipe and now it’s better than ever. Ordered the Chicken Florentine Crêpe to go, and it held up great when microwaved for lunch. Can’t wait to go back!

I got gluten free crêpe! It was so tasty and fluffy. I love it. Store is in a good location. Clean and comfortable. Owner workers are friendly. I ll come again very soon.

Just left the restaurant after sitting at a table by myself for 10 – 15 minutes. One guy walked past me several times with drinks for other diners without saying a single word to me.
After waiting all this time several ladies came in and walked up to a cluttered small counter and placed orders with this guy. This counter was 5 feet from where I was sitting, now if there was a
«Order Here» sign there it would explain the process to get something, or maybe this guy serving drinks could have said something. Well, I’m on my way elsewhere to find something to eat.

Second visit, second awesome experience… But, this time wisely took pictures — Check them out! Chicken Florentine knocks your socks off. But, the newest sweet Crêpe is a must try. Crêpe is filled with strawberry marscapone cheese, graham cracker crumble, and a strawberry drizzle on top. FANTASTIC!

I loved eating here — and on a slow day we had the benefit of meeting the new owner. Polite and friendly, having him chat about his life and treating us with a comfortable familiarity was wonderful! And he also let us sit and chat in the corner for about two hours, as my friends and I were catching up.
We ordered coffees and sweet crepes, and all of us really enjoyed what we had. SImple and delicious, and fresh! You get a lot of crêpe for the price. And the coffee tasted what I remember coffee in Europe tasting like. So good!

My daughter, grand daughter and I went there on a Sunday afternoon. We’ve been there several times over the years, have always loved it. This time, the vibe felt different, dirty dishes on most of the empty tables, even though they weren’t terribly busy at the time. When they saw us looking for a clean table, they quickly came over and cleaned one up. So at this point, I was wondering how the crepes would be. We ordered the Funky monkey one and crepes Suzette. They were as outstanding as ever! Just so fresh tasting and beautiful looking, sitting on the plate.
Maybe we just came in after many people had just left. I’m willing to give them a pass on the dirty tables.

The best crepes around, hands down! I am a frequent customer. Chicken Florentine is my favorite savory breakfast option and the Turtle crêpe is my favorite sweet crêpe. Their coffee is really good, and their tea is AMAZING! Service is great, the owner is always there. Very friendly staff.
They recently re-​painted the place, updated the logo, and updated the patio furniture — which I think is a great idea. The perfect place to enjoy some crepes with a cup of tea or coffee outdoors now that the weather is getting nice. I am impressed with the new renovations and updates.
Can’t wait to be back!

Yes!!! Here’s to a place that knows how to make crepes! All types of crepes, the sweat, and the savory. You guys have the right idea with your delicious, and generously proportioned crepes.
I got two crepes, the Santa Fe chicken. It’s filled with yumminess. It’s got chicken, lettuce, cheese, and other ingredients that make it a full, filling meal, and you get either spicy or mild salsa on the side.
I also got the s’mores crêpe and added nutella to it.
This crêpe is filleddddd, packedddd with deliciousness. It has marshmallow crème, graham cracker crust, chocolate drizzle and nutella. Also it’s topped off with mini marshmallows so cute!
The service is very nice and friendly. The owners are there.
The prices are very good. Sometimes there’s a groupon for it, but regardless of that it’s still affordable and so delicious.
I have tried many crêpe places and none compare to the flavors, the quantity, and quality.

We had the breakfast burrito crêpe. It was a special and delicious. The vegetarian and rise & shine were really good as well.
For dessert go for the Turtle crêpe!!!
