The Scene
A few steps down from the street, you'll find a little bit of Paris. Sacks of special flour line the wall, with tables and chairs scattered throughout a brightly-lit room. There is only an un-Frenchlike counter to order from, but service is exceptionally fast and friendly.

The Food
Special crepe cookers have been imported from France--and using special flour, the crepes are thin and crisp. The fillings are divided into savory and sweet. Savory choices include eggs, cheese, mushroom, spinach, and even salmon with chives and creme fraiche. They're topped with a choice of four different sauces and are served with a small tossed salad with a light vinaigrette dressing. Sweet crepes are filled with a range of preserves, chocolate, and fresh fruits; then they are topped with whipped cream or chopped walnuts. All are delicious, thanks to the use of the right ingredients and equipment.

I work on Craig Street and eat at that location at least once a week. I have never had a problem with the rudeness others described--although, I also have no tolerance for people who can't follow simple instructions. It's a small location and the food is in demand, so I think the staff does the best job they can to get everyone their food quickly. The staff has been attentive every time I've eaten there. The crepes are fabulous. I'm a vegetarian, and I've only had the savory crepes. The mixed veggie crepe with bechamel sauce is fabulous. Savory crepes come with a side salad of mixed greens, oranges, and a light champagne vinagraitte. It's a filling and delicious meal for just $7. My only advice is to go early or later. it's busiest right around noon.

Husband and I went there for the first time a few weeks back. I had the salmon crepe; he the egg & cheese crepe. Both were delicious and the place was only slightly busy since it was between the breakfast & lunch rush. My sister and her fiance came in from San Fran; figured we would show them a nice place and have some great food. Forgot they only took cash. Headed to an ATM while sister and fiance looked at the menu while letting people step in front of them in line because 1) there were no free tables for a party of 4 and 2) they were waiting on us. We got there & sent one of our party to the register to order. There is no where to stand out of the way of anything; a two-top opened up and that is where we sat & stood while keeping our eyes peeled for another table. A staff member rudely told us we needed to be in line and not at the table. We quickly pointed out that our friend was indeed in line (my sister wanted to point out that they let about 5 couples in front of them while they waited) and then the staff member told us we were not allowed to sit until we ordered. He then proceeded to stare at us until we moved; unfortunately there was no places to stand and wait. Raining outside - so that was certainly not an option. We left - sadly disappointed and surely never to return again.

Crepes is a great place for a hundred reasons. Active, pleasing environment, very consistent high quality of food and service. Would like better advertising of the "table acquisition" process so that people understood to place orders before sitting.
