This is a great spot in GR. Their crepes are high quality! I got the "Picnic" and it was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is also spot on with a lot of windows that can't help with their heating bill, but absolutely provide a wonderful environment. I also love that you order at the cash register and don't have a waiter/waitress for your table, it helps keep it a low key atmosphere.

I've tried calling several times over the past few months to place a to-go order. I have not been able to get someone on the phone any time that I've called. Online ordering always says all of the items are out of stock or they are not accepting online orders at this time. I'd love to be able to rate the crepes themselves, but I haven't been able to get an order in to even try them.

Very small location but the service is very quick. Not recommended for large groups. Inside is warm and cozy even on a chilly winter day. You can watch them make the crepes by hand. Gluten free crepes are available as well. The atmosphere was bright and glowing with french culture. They have sweet crepes and savory. The perfect portions left you full but not over stuffed. Beautiful place, I would definitely go back!

Cute place, small, clean and well lit. Counter order and self seat which I like if you can find seating. Friendly staff. We went on a Thursday for early lunch, but I can imagine there would be a wait during peak times.
Paid city street parking in front and a paid parking lot across the road.
Good portion size and I'm yet to try more crepes, but I didn't particularly like the taste of the Tuscan. Crepes include a side salad or fruit cup. The side salad dressing was a bit too salty for me and consisted of just mixed greens, would be nice if they would add maybe some grape tomatoes, cucumber and

This place is a secret gem! I have had what I believed to be crepes. After going here I found out what a real crepe tastes like. The setting is so relaxing and the food is fantastic. If you are lookimg for a tasty breakfast they have it. If you are looking for something to satisfy your sweet tooth they have it. A cup of coffee with art...covered! Dine-in or to-go. Seating is a little limited but definitely worth checking out. Give your taste buds something to talk about!

Just wow. This place was awesome! I absolutely love the atmosphere they created. The building first of all is amazing, then you step inside and it just keeps getting better. I loved the eclectic lighting with all the variety of flowers and plants throughout. The people were super friendly and nice. I loved the patterns on the windows. I just LOVED the ambiance.
Food was great too. I love crepes and they did great. I had the Tuscan and it was very delicious and filling. Salad was good but wished I had the fruit instead, both are good choices though. I also had a blueberry vanilla french soda. It
