The Crepe Kitchen

To be able to give this restaurant a thorough fair in my review, I decided to make my presence there 3 times although the first time didn’t go very well for me. So, here it goes:
— When you come into the restaurant, you have to make your order first, paid and then choose your table to sit. The handwritten chalkboard menu is right on the wall next to the cash register and also on a pathway of the front kitchen. I find it a bit awkward, as a first time customer, who needs a bit of extra time to learn through the menu, because you feel you’re in the way of other customers who are making their order and you’re in the way of the server who enter and exit the same path. My recommendation is the restaurant owner should move the chalkboard menu somewhere else away from the front kitchen entrance way and the cash register.
— The food: the crêpe batter itself is on average, acceptable but not special enough (not light and too much butter). The savoury crêpe is not at all good. There are too much flavours go into the crêpe. After eating, I’ll find it very heavily sit in the stomach. The sweet crêpe is better since it’s simple and straightforward although I find it on a sweet side.
— The price is right for the area but it’s higher than the quality of the crepes they offer.
— Décor and Cleanliness: Décor is great, bright and right for a french restaurant theme. The washroom is also clean and bright. However, they need to wipe the the table better after the guest leaves because I find the table matt often is sticky. Sometimes there is food still stuck on the table or table matt.
— Customer service is needed fixed the most in my opinion. A very long wait for the food to come and if you come in with a hungry kid, the world will end for you. The male owner is never happy; rather grumpy most of the time. He has major (french) attitude toward his customers. As mention above, I find the sweet crêpe is on the sweet side so I asked him, when placing my order, not to add the icing sugar on my crêpe and he rolls his eyes at me every time with a long inhale and exhale under his breath.
Overall: not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Customers should be treated and respected well for them to return. Simple is that.

Very disappointed. We came here as a goodbye breakfast for our friends moving out west. From the moment the 6 of us walked in, it felt like we were a nuisance. 3 of us requested a modification to the crêpe for dietary/​allergy reasons and we received eye rolls from the man behind the cash and the cook. They told me «it’s too much work» and it’s «not on the menu».
Simply, I will never return. Their attitude (except a young, female server — who was delightful and very helpful) was sour.

Bad bad service. The senior staff was very rude to the little girl. We understand the customers have to order before taking the table. But you don’t need to be so rude to ask a 6 year old to leave the table in such manner. So bad!

Crepes were good but service wasn’t. They need to turn their AC on or at least make sure its at a comfortable temperature. We felt so rushed to eat and leave. Owner cleared off our table before I even finished my drink although I told him 2 mins earlier that I’m not finished. I’ve never been looked forward to leave a restaurant.

This place is the best place to grab a crêpe breakfast any time during the week. It has a small family run feel and it seats less than 20 people at time. It does get packed very quickly and you’ll be waiting for a table for a long time! But never the less it is worth it!
You place your order at the front and they bring the food to you. The crêpe comes with a Honey Mustard Salad dressing is made in house and it is delicious! They sell it by the bottle but it never last in my house. My favorite crêpe has to be the spanish, its got fiery chorizo sausage and cheddar cheese what’s not to love?
If you’re in the neighbourhood, come check this place out! but be warned it fills up very quickly.

*make reservations!!*
Hands down best Crêpe I’ve had. The service was attentive and friendly, though they get pretty busy! We tried both sweet and savory and they were both amazing!

Ordered the Pop-​Eye (savoury crêpe stuffed with spinach, eggs, mozzarella and Mornay sauce) and loved it. However, service was very slow. Had to wait a good 10 minutes just to be given water! I can understand taking time for food or coffee, but water should come almost immediately — especially when you order your food and pay beforehand!
ETA: I got the sense that they serve tables in the order they’re seated — including giving clients water!

Decent crêpe’s but the owner is downright rude. We sat outside for a moment and told my friend to leave the seat. We still went in but there seemed to be a non-​friendly customer atmosphere. They would be way better off with someone seating people properly and courteously. Food is ok bit would not go back because of the atmosphere.

My daughter loves the chicken, hearts of Palm, mushroom and Béchamel sauce crêpe! It’s a must do when we are in Oakville! The dressing on the salad is great and we often buy a bottle for home (only way to get her to eat salad).
You place your order at the cash and u get a number to take to your table. The owner will usually direct you to the smallest table to meet your requirements (so you can’t always sit where you’d like). But, you’ve got to understand that really as they want to seat as many as possible. Good flow of customers.
I’m only rating 3 stars as I like a consistent and pleasing atmosphere!
The only issue is that sometimes the mood in the kitchen can affect your time spent. Not a consistently happy atmosphere.
I brought someone from the UK to treat them to lunch after raving about it and they stated they wouldn’t go again due to the atmospheric pressure!
But the food is consistent and the restaurant is quaint and clean!

Cute little café hidden off Lakeshore with probably around 10 small tables. Enjoyed my chicken pesto savory crêpe. Just didn’t like slowly getting kicked out. If you’re looking for a little coffee shop to catch up with an old friend for a few hours, don’t go here during busy times like lunch hour.

Gotta be the worst service you can pay for in the service industry. Bad attitude, very unfriendly management.
The food was decent and the décor was nice, but the experience just puts you off so much that its hard to enjoy the food.

A great selection of savoury and sweet crepes.
I had the dulce de leche with strawberries. Amazing. Great texture on the crêpe, with an absoloutely delicious filling.
A tad on the pricy side, seating is somewhat limited, and they do close early. So go for breakfast or lunch only.

This place is trying way too hard to be pretentious. The owner served me and he came across as smug and was pretty awkward to be around. Regardless, the crêpe still sucked; it was thin and flavourless and I would equate it to eating oxygen.

Great little place nestled across the street from Knox Presbyterian Church. It’s almost like you’re in Paris, but instead of bikes and motorcycles going way too fast, you have über-​strollers and pretentious Oakvillians sauntering about the town square. Complete with three patio tables outside — we quickly claim one for people watching.
We entered and see a cute interior with maybe 10 – 12 tables to the left and the open kitchen immediately to the right with staff furiously filling orders. Just by reading the chalk board, there were 20+ sweet crepes but from the 15 – 20 savoury crepes listed, I went with Charlie’s Choice — brie cheese, chicken breast, mushrooms, onions, hearts of palm with mornay sauce. God it reminded me of my first crêpe at Magic Pan many moons ago. Creamy sauce with the chicken and big chunks of mushroom. It was heaven. The side salad was dressed with a sweet Dijon based dressing.
Wife had the Dulce de leche and bananas. I’m not a sweets fan, but it was perfect.
Very friendly staff. For whatever reason our order wasn’t processed until people that came after us were served, but we didn’t have to wait much longer than that.
French press coffees are awesome as well. Prices are a little higher than I expected ($ 34 for two crepes and coffee/​juice) but quality was there.
Will return. Just don’t come during the Downtown Oakville Sidewalk Sale or the equivalent — you’ll spend a good portion of your time sucking exhaust fumes from cars passing by on this tight street.

Warning, not kid friendy. We had a very bad experience and will never go again. My 3 year old son committed a couple of minor infractions
while we waited for our food which would have been overlooked at any other restaurant but the uptight and unfriendly owner lost his cool.
We got a refund and never got to try the the food.
Stear clear of this place if you have children.
