I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while. It was packed when we came, but we didn’t have to wait. The prices are in the high side. Keep in mind, only one crepe comes per order. $22 for one crepe with chicken and a little green salad? They charge $14 for one sweet crepe. Unfortunately neither me nor my friend liked our food. I ordered Parisian and it wasn’t delicious. We both had one cappuccino and I ordered a small side cup of fruit. The bill before tip came to $75. They charge 10 percent surcharge for something.

Visiting DC area June of ‘23. We found this place mostly by accident! We loved it so much went went back again to try more of the menu. Great brunch selection, and the crepes are awesome. Carmen and Dibbs are very helpful and always ready to make recommendations. We have 2 savory crepes (Alexandrian and the Parisian) and a sweet crepe for dessert. Fun coffees and drink selection compliments the food nicely. Also a cozy outdoor seating area if the weather is nice.

Stopped by here for a quick breakfast. I arrived around 10:30, which seemed to be in between the breakfast and lunch crowd. Food came out very quickly, which was nice. I ordered the Farmers Market with two eggs, and it was ok but lacked in the seasoning department. Plating could also use some work as my crepe was mostly buried under the salad. The chai latte was very good.

Had a savory alexandria crepe and a cider. The cider was amazing. Highly recommended. I do have to dock them a point, though, for their prices and because they charge a 10% restaurant fee. If you want to do that, just raise prices 10%. It is more honest. The food was very good, but not worth nearly $100 for two, even on King St. The outdoor seating looks pleasant, though it was full when we went.

The food is great and tasty, I just wish that either the portions where bigger or the prices were a little lower. $$$ for the portions otherwise food would get 5*. Hostess were great proble arises with limited seating and very cramped space. Specially on rainy days. I noticed it hindered the servers/service. Busy cage ambiance. Usually packed so expect some waiting.

A great place to sit and relax after a busy day in the nations capital. The food is great and there are a lot of menu options to choose from. The atmosphere is calming and inviting. A good place for a morning date or even an impromptu work meeting. Whatever your reason, you will find the staff professional and super nice.

I saw other reviews complaining about the pricing before going here and it did make me think a minute about going. However – I’m glad I didn’t listen!! I’m not against a local restaurant doing what they need to do to make it and help for what happened with COVID. This place is such a cute little gem and I wouldn’t want a local spot to go away to be left with more chains. Also, it’s in Old Town, what do y’all expect?! The service was great, the food was amazing, and great scenery to go with all. I will most certainly be coming back and we should be supporting our small businesses! Thank you for such a great experience!

Let’s start with the food. Chai was delicious. The just peachy crepe was also very good, more like a dessert with canned peaches and ice cream. Now, why I likely won’t be going back. $14 for a small crepe is significantly overpriced for the amount of food you get also considering the ingredients are cheap. Additionally, this restaurant also charges a 10% restaurant fee, which for our table was $10 on top of the usual tax and gratuity. What is this restaurant fee for? They are already charging $18 for some of their savory crepes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We opted to sit outdoors which was lovely. The wait staff were great. Overall, the food is pretty good but as a customer I am very unlikely to come back due to the overpriced food and the unmarked restaurant fee.

The highlight of this establishment is its charming old-town location. While the restaurant tends to be bustling, which some may find appealing, it can make for a less-than-relaxing brunch experience due to its small size. Service could be improved; our order was incomplete until we took the initiative to cancel the missing item ourselves. Additionally, the table we were seated at had a loose nail, which posed some discomfort and safety concerns that were unfortunately not addressed. As for the food, it is on the pricier side, especially considering that other nearby venues offer similar or better quality at a more reasonable cost. We’re unlikely to return for another visit.

The host graciously accommodated our request to sit outside to eat. We enjoyed our meals here. The kale lentil salad was light and fresh. The savory crepes were delicious and accompanied by a fresh salad.
