Crepe & Cafe

This restaurant used to locate in downtown and when I tasted the crepes in downtown, the crepes were delicious and quite extraordinary. With the new location, i went there twice and they menu had changed since the move and crepes do not taste the same. The crepes are ok but definitely not same taste as when they were in downtown. The price is bit pricy and the crepes are decent but nothing great. Also tried their cappuccino and it was ok but not great

Just walked in for a coffee but was very impressed with the service and the delicious food being prepared before my eyes. The owner was fun to chat with and I ended up getting a double espresso (which was very good) and a spinach and feta crêpe. I reheated it up at home for lunch and it was like heaven in my mouth. I will go back every time I’m in the Kerrisdale/​Dunbar area. Gracias!

My friend and I came here for lunch. It’s very cozy inside.
We didn’t realize how authentic it was based on what we read online. The owner is French and spoke in French to us, he was lovely!
I got a spinach and feta croissant with tomato basil soup and it was great.
My friend got a frankfurter croissant with French onion soup and she loved it.
We also got a caramel macchiato and Nutella Latte (yup, it’s a thing and it’s glorious)
Everything was very fresh and made with love. We would definitely come back. It’s a bit expensive, but a lovely place for lunch or a pastry.

This place has a very nice atmosphere and the fact that its run by actual french speaking people is a plus.
The employees were very friendly and cater to any modifications you might want with your order. The food was great as well, I haven’t tried their dessert crepes but both of my experience trying the savory crepes were great.
They are not big on making their crepes look fancy or anything but the flavor of their food is on point. The first time my food I saw my order I was pretty underwhelmed cause I was so use to the lavished presentation in most crêpe cafes. It was not until my first bite that really changed my first impression. The crêpe was very flavorful and they technically call it a galette which seems to be a darker cruncher texture. It was an excellent compliment to all the savory foods inside.

Here’s a tip if you’re an American traveling in Vancouver: our debit cards did not always work! But they sometimes did, so I am not sure what the rule might be. However, the proprietor of Crêpe & Café was really nice to explain the issue and worked with us to figure it out. Let’s just say we owe her a little money the next time we’re in Vancouver.
My husband, two daughters (12 and 14), and I came here for a late lunch in between the Museum of Anthropology and the VanDusen Botanical Garden. Nutella and banana crêpe, French onion soup, savory crêpe #1 with ham, swiss, and mushrooms, and a lunch special of ham, swiss, and tomato sandwich with soup. All good, fresh, and relatively quick. The special was $ 11.99, and the savory crêpe was $ 9.50.
The atmosphere is very French, and as soon as I walked in, I thought it smelled like a Paris boulangerie. We were the only ones there, as it was a late afternoon stop, but there was a variety of seating — comfy cushioned chairs — or sturdy tables and chairs. Outdoor seating, too, but it was too hot. The food was brought over to us, as were utensils and water. We bused our stuff back to the counter when we were done.
The croissants — plain and savory — looked really quite good and I’d like to stop by on the way out of Vancouver for some. Same for the coffee — smelled really good, but it will have to wait for another time.

Love this place! Every time I go in it feels like a family experience. Great food, with a little side of French conversation!

I had previously written about 3 or 4 reviews of Crêpe and Café before. This after my reincarnation as a Unilocaler is starting with a clean slate and a fresh perspective.
I came for my coffee meeting with my gal pal and when I arrived, My cup of cappuccino was ready waiting for me on the table. It was one of the best coffees I had had in months. For the Coffee it was a perfect 5 star.
I usually come by here and have a savoury crêpe, or a croissant and as authentic as this place is, the prices are definitely very west side Vancouver. Expect to pay more for food than you would consider in a café.
I don’t mind this. I like what they have to offer. The ambiance and the background music and the personality. A little bit of French is in the air. Classy,
It does hinder my being able to come here as often as I would like. And now that I’m in another town, It’s a bit far to dine here.
So the pricing brings my rating down a bit, but regardless of that, it’s a solid little authentic French café. No fooling you.
If you see the lovely lady working alone on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Please give her a hand and clean your table. It would really help her and she would really be thankful.
I always bring my plates and cups to the counter at the end of the service bar, just to help.
This is one of the places that me and my gal pal really love to hang out in.

This place is lovely, beautifully made with quality ingredients. That being said today was an off day (Sunday). Food quality was top quality as always, but today, the owner was on her own and it took 30 mins to even order!!! How u ask? We got in line and everyone was asked to grab a table, she would then take our order when she was ready. The problem was that as we sat down, more customers arrived and ordered before we did. We went up again and were told to sit down again.
To be fair she was on her own and probably got muddled up. I assumed that she was let down by staff calling in sick or not showing up… but then she mentioned that she always works on her own on a Sunday. So as much as we love this place, that comment irked me as we were being inconvenienced by the decision not to employ help on Sundays. I reiterate that this is a lovely place and well worth a visit or frequenting, just not on Sundays unless you have 3 hrs to spare.

An awesome family run business that makes me feel truly at home. Instead of sitting down at the table and eating a crêpe, I sit back, relax and enjoy a crêpe made by friends here. The owners are just so hospitable. You order at the counter but your delicious food is brought to you. This is the only place where I’ll eat non-​dessert crepes. I can’t find anywhere else that makes them to my liking, and I can’t even explain why. Please come here, you’ll love it.

I had a cheese, spinach, mushroom and egg crêpe here. It wasn’t made by a French person, however, the crêpe was prepared well. They’re folding technique was unique. They were kind enough to split the crêpe in half and serve it to my best friend and I separately. Very friendly customer service and the prices are decent as well.

I’m here with my mom on a rainy afternoon. We ordered smoked salmon crêpe and strawberry chocolate crêpe. They were SO good and authentic! The owner has a strong French accent but it doesn’t stop him from providing awesome customer service! He really cares and have passion for his food! their French onion soup is also a must-​try! They make their pastries from scratch every morning! Now everyone, Bön appetite! :D

I try not to go too often as much as I am a fan. I tend to spend $ 10 and under on lunch if I eat out, but here I spend close to $ 20. In some ways it is worth it though… the food is absolutely delicious.
I’m not much of a crêpe person. Instead I always order the same thing when I come: the soup and sandwich combo. I choose the Montréal smoked meat sandwich and tomato basil soup. — Both are amazing. I don’t even like tomato soup, but their soup is so good! As for the sandwich, it’s perfect. Enough said.
As a dessert I get the lemon tart. That is my absolute favourite part about this place. I love the crust on it and the lemon filling sweet, but not overwhelmingly sweet. The downside to the lemon tart is that it’s around $ 7 with tax if I remember correctly.
There it is Unilocalers, my Crêpe & Café meal that keeps me satisfied and wanting more. The staff are also very friendly and accomodating.

Dis crêpe be cray

I have been here numerous times, and have always had an amazing experience.
The owners are wonderful people, and are so friendly and helpful. Their accents, along with the French music playing and the smell of fresh baking, truly makes one feel as if they are in Paris.
They make the most incredible pastries, (I particularly enjoy the pain au chocolate), and the coffee is also excellent.
However, the crepes are the main reason my girlfriend and I come here time after time. From sweet to savoury, I have never been disappointed with any of the options. A personal favorite is the simple but delicious lemon and sugar. For savoury, I usually go for the #7, which has sautéed mushrooms, spinach, tomato and feta.
And to top all this off, the pricing is very reasonable, with each crêpe ranging from $ 6 – 9.
I highly recommend you check this place out.

A-​OK
Decent pastries including a parisian hot dog (a hot dog in a croissant wrap). Tasty. Hit the spot.
Coffee is decent, as is the service. Fair amount of space for customers to relax and enjoy their coffee.

²³⁄₃₀ - (October 2012, 30-​day challenge)
*Review ³⁸⁶⁄₃₆₅ personal challenge*

A block off Dunbar and situated on a rather busy corner of 41^st, walk in the wide-​open, inviting doors and experience a warm and delightful moment in la belle France! Scrumptious aromas of authentic French pastries, both sweet and savoury, with blissful overtones of espresso, wash over you as soon as you approach the counter. I’m talking cheese, I’m talking almonds, I’m talking buttery, flaky, croissant-​y smells of heaven. Choose from these, or from their selection of hand-​made crêpes (also available in both savoury and sweet varieties).
A couple of year ago, I was prohibited from eating eggs in any form, and mentioned this once to the lovely French gentleman serving me (his equally gracious wife is also frequently behind the counter). He said that he would make me a savoury buckwheat egg-​free crêpe the next time I came in, and … Lo and behold, on my next visit he announced that he had changed the recipe for all of the savoury crêpes to be egg-​free! Talk about service «above and beyond»!
Once you place your order and pay (avertissement: not cheap — but remember that you get what you pay for!), grab a seat outside or at the window to people-​watch, sit at a charming table, or cozy up in the back corner in one of the comfy chairs by the fireplace. This back corner is the best spot to listen to the French-​language music BTW.
Happy me … Now it’s time to get back to my Americano, and give my croissant the full attention that it so richly deserves.

Ces crepes sont si délicieux!
Saturday afternoon before Pitch & Putt, myself, the BF and friends dined in the beautiful sunshine at Crêpe and Café. I LOVE crepes, especially when they are done right. And this place was a little spot of «Pareeeee» in the heart of Kerrisdale.
I found the service to be frustrating slow, however I noticed the owner felt the same way. Her staff on hand weren’t speedy when it came to counter service, but were definitely working the magic making the crepes… After a little back and forth banter in my now seriously destroyed French with the owner, and I was ready to demolish my lemon and sugar crêpe. By the time it got to the table (very quickly to make up for slow counter service btw), and it was to die for… I could barely slow down as I lifted forkful after forkful to my mouth… I was very sad when I finished, and could have easily enjoyed two or even three more! Top this meal off with my stellar Americano Misto, and it was a great way to commence a very fun round of Pitch & Putt.
I would highly recommend taking the time to experience this creperie especially during the warm summer months when you can dine on their patio.

My bf and I visited Crêpe & Café this past weekend for a late brunch before our Saturday grocery shopping trip. He’d driven past it a few times and was curious about it, and since it’s in our neighbourhood, we stopped in.
Crêpe & Café is run by a lovely French couple whose accents make me want to respond to their questions in French too. The extensive menu includes a variety of crêpes, breakfast and lunch items as well as fresh-​made desserts such as cookies and squares. A variety of coffee, tea and espresso drinks are also available.
Being that we were there for brunch, I reluctantly passed on the Nutella and banana crêpe but can’t wait to go back and try it. I instead had a vegetarian crêpe; my bf had one with chorizo sausage. Both were incredible-​tasting and of hearty portion size. And did I mention that all the crêpes are under $ 10 each? Excellent value. They’re hot, fresh and made-​to-​order with slightly sweet buckwheat flour.
While the ambiance could use a little bit of «oh la la», I have no doubt we’ll be back to Crêpe & Café. Next time the Nutella and banana crêpe is gettin’ in my belly.

I love this place. I went looking for it after a recent mention in a Vancouver Sun article about the Dunbar neighbourhood. Easy to access by bus and if it is a sunny day I suggest taking a stroll around the gorgeous neighbourhood — there are many tree lined streets and cute houses. Crepes & Café is owned by a Parisian couple and serves hand-​made lovely french pastries, baguette sandwiches, crepes (savory and sweet — including the classic Nutella and bananas) and really good coffee. You can watch them make the crepes for you, which is fun and great for kids. They also sell Orangina and Coke in tall glass bottles (cute touch). Decent prices, not too busy, and lovely patio space. A little bit of Paris in Vancouver. We need more of this.

Cute little crêpe and coffee house in South Dunbar area. They have buckwheat savory crepes and whole wheat sweet crepes. Run by a lovely French couple. This location was previously occupied by other coffee houses which were mediocre and failed miserably. I hope this place stays for the long haul as I think it is a good addition to the neighbourhood. Good pain de chocolate too!
