What People Are Saying About Crepes Parisiennes

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…
Good Authentic Crepes
by kniki217
The chef is from france. He used to have a street cart in france. These are some amazing and authentic crepes. To the people that complain that he's rude...it's because he can't stand you lazy, fat, rude americans.
- Pros: authentic, cheap
- Cons: limited hours
Excellent Food; Good Veggie Options
by jkinpitt
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.
- Pros: Delicious. Many vegetarian options.
- Cons: Go early. Seats fill quickly.
Do not bring 3 or more people in your party

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.
- Pros: food is tasty
- Cons: atmosphere, rude staff, cash only, too few tables
