Everyone loves crepes right? So I stop by today and grab lunch with my friend at this crêpe place that is next to the law library, when I walk closer I can smell how good the crêpe is and my mouth got watery, the staffs were really friendly, they explained to me what nutellatte was and its basically like mocha, but they use nutella instead. I ordered the warrior, it taste delicious and fulfilling, however it was a bit too heavy for me so I didn’t finish it(I gave it to my friend and she loves it), it feels like they stuff the whole pasta into the crêpe. It taste awesome, even though I didn’t finish it, I still would recommend to others. I tried my friend’s sweet honey crêpe, it taste very fresh and not overpower by the honey tsunami, the crêpe is a bit crispy on the side and soft in the middle, just right and didn’t turn into lavosh(a crispy thin cracker like pastry). Overall, I love this place and would totally come back.

The staff here is so friendly, the owner who is there everyday is by far the nicest owner I’ve met. So down to earth! These ingredients are always fresh and the crepes are TOODIE for. I’ve eaten here every chance I can and have been a loyal customer for two years. I highly recommend this place. After your first visit, you’ll instantly become a regular!

Okay, so picture this: you showed up to school 5 minutes before your first class of the year started and you, in your panic, forgot to eat breakfast. Reluctantly, you march to your first class, starving. Why didnt I set an alarm? Faced with terrible hunger pangs, you sit through syllabus distribution wondering where you will eat breakfast after the professor finally releases you. Campus Center? ew. Paradise Palms? Too far. Then it hits you – Le Crêpe Café. Located on the Diamond Head side of the law school next to the parking structure, Le Crêpe Café is a crêpe stand that is so much more. Serving up fresh, hot off the grill crepes and delicious iced and hot coffee for down to earth prices, its the perfect place to grab a coffee before class or a crêpe during your lunch break. As far as the food goes, I recommend the warrior. Its a little heavy, but for those days when youre absolutely starving its worth every single penny. The quality of the spinach and cheese is, surprisingly, great and the meat that goes into every crêpe is, too. In addition to their crepes, they also have a wide variety of coffee selections. Personally, I recommend the honey mocha. It used to be a drink that was on their menu, but they discontinued it; however, if you ask them, they will make it for you(or they do for me and my friends, at least.) 5⁄5 for excellent service and delicious food.

Had the warrior crêpe today and it was loaded with deliciousness. Baby spinach was fresh and clean and the mozzarella cheese generously applied. You have a choice of sauces from pesto to BBQ. I did the BBQ but will try others next time. They offered kind, fast, friendly service and I also got an iced macchiato that was well done. They have a ‘frequent flyer’ program whereby you get a free crêpe after 10. I got two stamps for the warrior crêpe, woohoo!

Even an American in Paris would love these crepes. Four years of French class might not have taught me to say ‘Louvre’ without chuckling, but it introduced me to the wonderful world of Parisian pastries. I’ve been a huge fan of Le Crêpe Café since they were in Manoa next to Boston’s Pizza. Since then, I’ve followed them to Ala Moana and now outside of the law school. Thankfully, they haven’t lost their touch and the crepes are still top notch. Choosing between savory and sweet is always an easy choice for me — both. I recommend the Popeye and Parisian crepes, or the occasional Nutella. After trying a bunch of other crepes out of vans and such, I stand firm in my belief that Le Crêpe Café is the best. I’m glad it’s here to stay.

Delicious crepes, at a worthwhile cost! Each visit to Le Crêpe Café has been met with excellent customer service. I am writing this review due to the exceptional service by a radd worker there by the name of Ken. There was some kind of problem or something with ordering the coffee I wanted, I don’t remember what it was. Ken told me he wouldn’t be able to complete the order, and gave other suggestions. I asked him what exactly the problem was. Ken didn’t act like I was stupid or wouldn’t understand, and told me what the problem was. We figured out a work around together using water from my hydro flask(don’t worry, it was sanitary!) For the great taste, variety, locally sourced ingredients(i think?), kind and adaptable customer service, Le Crêpe Café has earned their 5 stars from me.

I ordered the Warrior with garlic sauce. It was yummy. The ingredients were fresh and fullfilling. I want to try it with pesto sauce next.

I keep trying different crepes and all of them are really good(The sweet ones, meat and vegetarian ones)! Plus the people who work there are always so nice and easy to talk to. That place is really the best crêpe place, convenient for those on campus.

Same yummy crepes, same great service. Just some changes you should be aware of: –UH utility regulations have rendered them without the large refrigerator, so they aren’t serving beverages and salads until they can work out a way to store the ingredients for these. Sorry caffeine lovers at the law school, you’ll have to cross the street and line up at Starbucks for your caffeine fix.(Or make your own coffee?) –They’ve streamlined the menu. Favorites like the Tsunami are no longer listed, but you can still order it, or specify that you want a Veggie crêpe with turkey or chicken, which is essentially what the Tsunami was.

If you’re looking for a place to eat on the UH Manoa campus, come check out Le Crêpe Café, located on the koko head side of the law school. They have a little food stand where they serve killer crepes, both savory and sweet. All are made to order, so you are guaranteed a piping hot meal. They have a few table and chairs if you chose to dine there. All outdoor seating. I was feeling a little hungry, so I ordered«The Warrior», which came with cheese, chicken, turkey, turkey BACON, spinach, tomato, onions, mushrooms with pesto sauce. Oh yeah, it was so delicious! You can’t go wrong with anything that contains BACON, right? I believe this crêpe was $ 9. Summer hours: 8am — 2pm

Event: Wedding Breakfast Date: Friday, June 20th2014 Le Crêpe Café was such an awesome vendor to work with for my brother in-laws wedding breakfast event! They arrived early & stayed late and their crepes were AMAAAAAAZING!!! It was so hard to pick between all of the selections they offered… so we had to eat to try them all! hahaha We loved that they offered BOTH sweet & savory choices and the price for them to be there was practically a STEAL! Soufion was so nice to work with and all of our guest just loved having him there! We will definitely keep them in mind for our next event!

Le Crêpe Café has multiple locations to get a sweet or savory crêpe when you want a hardy snack or a light meal. I tried two savory crepes, one with turkey, spinach, and cheese, the other with chicken, mushrooms and cheese. I wasn’t impressed with the ingredients, the turkey and chicken were straight from a grocery store sandwich meat section. The crepes were cooked so the outsides were crispy, not tender, but the veggies on the inside didn’t have enough time because they were put in raw. Of course you can eat spinach and mushrooms raw, but I kept thinking how much better they’d be if they had been sautéed first, maybe with butter and garlic?! The pictures of the sweet crepes look really nice, maybe sweet is a better way to go if you check them out.

Can’t go wrong with creps! They are a small cart type of kiosk. Offering savory and sweet creps to your taste. It’s on lower campus so it’s kind of away from most other places. And seating is scarce. But the creeps are very good and sometimes they play French music!

What’s a girl to do when she’s famished from studying in the library all day? She walks just a few steps to this gem of a stand for a delicious crêpe! Located right in front of William S. Richardson School of Law, this little stand offers a great selection of savory and sweet crepes, salads, sandwiches, and coffee beverages. My favorite is the pesto pesto(chicken, cheese, and pesto!), but today I opted for one of their breakfast crepes(served all day). I ordered«storm» which was filled with scrambled egg, basil, spinach, chicken, cheese, and cherry tomatoes! I love how perfectly crispy the outer edges get, while the delicious filling is perfectly contained in the softer inner part of the crêpe~ I also tried their nutellatte, which, you guessed it, contained a sweet combination of nutella and coffee! :D I have to admit that their coffee beverages are just A-OK in my book. They’re not bad and there are some interesting ones on the menu to try, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get one. They also have a loyalty stamp card where 10 stamps gets you a free crêpe :)

Balsagreek($ 6.75) Mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, organic baby spinach, fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, and homemade balsamic. I’m not big on chicken or turkey, so I’m glad Le Crêpe Café offers all-veggie options like the Balsagreek. And even though there’s no meat or whatevs, this crêpe is still filling and very much satisfying. I love the balsamic dressing and the cheeses in this crêpe! A great breakfast or lunch option. Romeo et Juliette($ 5.99) Sweet tooth? You gotta try this Romeo et Juliette crêpe. It’s made with nutella, apple bananas, and strawberries. YUMMM! I’ve had this ReJ two times in two weeks… Some may call me a «heifer,» but I like to think of myself as a «healthy eater»(not necessarily a healthy-food eater). ;) If you’re the type to watch the cal intake, crêpes aren’t a bad idea. They’re actually not too unhealthy. They’re light, thin, and relatively lower in fat and sugar. …Especially if you’re used to eating American pancakes for breakfast or sandwiches for lunch. Anyway, I love that Le Crêpe Café has joined in on the UH Manoa FUN! Thanks for giving me a delicious and less unhealthy meal option on campus. LOVE!

Le Crêpe Café: I ordered a House Special Nutellatte and a Specialty fruit crêpe. My friend ordered a Caramelicious crêpe. Starting off with the Nutellatte($ 3.99), I took a whiff of it with the lid off because I just love the smell of coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate, or just any type of hot drink in general. So my first impression was that the«nutella latte» reminded me of the smell of chocolate wafers. It tasted great but kind of lacked the nutella flavor. I was hoping for more of that nutella goodness, but only in the end did I find large chunks of it at the bottom.(perhaps I should mix it next time?) The special fruit crêpe I had was good for $ 5.99 but I enjoyed my friend’s Caramelicious crêpe more. Next time, I’ll be sure to get that! if you like caramel, then this is the crêpe for you! :) Denise’s tip: there’s no free tap water, so if you want water, they’ll most likely charge you for bottled water, Arrowhead, to be exact.

I normally don’t write reviews but I felt like I had to this time because I was extremely disappointed! I love love love crepes. One of my favorite foods so when I discovered this place on campus last fall, I was going there at least 2 times a semester(I would visit one on E. Manoa Road as well.) So when this school year started again, I was excited for my crepes, thinking they would be just as good as last year. But I was wrong. Last semester the cooks and cashier were different guys. They were a lot more friendly and they made the crepes faster(took exactly 12 mins to get mine and it took 5 before). The cashier wasn’t too friendly and was barking at the cook to make the crêpe faster while I was standing right there(rude. and really awkward for me. The boy looked really flustered.) I ordered a pesto pesto crêpe with mushrooms instead of tomatoes because I can’t stand raw tomatoes. This is the savory crêpe I order most and they never got it wrong last semester. While I was waiting, I was watching the boy cook my crêpe and the cashier(who I am assuming is manager?) barked at him again, telling him that there were supposed to be mushrooms not grape tomatoes in my crêpe. This all happened AFTER he folded my crêpe to serve, so he put it back on the crêpe pan and unfolded it and took out the tomatoes. Didn’t see if he put mushrooms or not cause I was instagramming. Lol After what seemed like the longest 12 minutes ever(usually takes half the time,) I got my crêpe. I was so excited to eat all the cheese, pesto, chicken and mushrooms I love so when I cut into it I was all excited. A minute after cutting into the crêpe, I see half a grape tomato. I flick it out and figure the boy just missed taking one out… but then after 5 minutes I notice there are no mushrooms either. That REALLY disappointed me to the point where I really contemplated complaining for a refund or something because I love mushrooms(Eat them everyday) and that was half the goodness of the crêpe. But, I was way too hungry and I felt really bad about the boy getting yelled at twice in my presence already so I did not say anything and finished my crêpe to make my hunger go away. Unfortunately, I walked away from this crêpe stand super disappointed that it was not up to par this semester and I felt like I still needed to eat something else. Maybe if the other 2 guys come back I will come for more crepes but as of now… no thanks.

Yikes. Went here today at 9 A.M. to get that fancy hazelnut coffee and the guy had no idea what I was talking about. They didn’t have a coffee menu posted and I know they have a pretty extensive coffee menu(unless they’ve changed it since the last time I was there?). Anyhow, he kind of rudely said, «No menu!!! Only plain coffee and cappuccino.» Errr, thanks? I’m not sure he understood what I was saying(I don’t think he spoke fluent English, just French perhaps?). I decided to take my money elsewhere for the day. If I see that guy working again, I’ll steer clear.
