Krepesz

I had my sights set on getting a crêpe while in Toronto for a few hours, and was mildly disappointed with Krepesz. Don’t get me wrong, the Funky Crêpe was amazing, with peanut butter and banana and honey! But, $ 12 for a single crêpe??? Definitely not worth it. This place was way too pricey for my liking. If you like crepes that cost like they are made out of gold, than maybe this place is for you.

I’ve always passed this place whenever I was in Kensington Market but haven’t stepped in until recently. It wasn’t too busy inside but their patio area was full. I was greeted immediately by the staff.
I can’t remember which crêpe I had ordered (it had spinach and tomato for sure), but it was pretty good. Nothing too special about it but pretty filling and tasty.
For dessert I had their Nutella muffin and oh. my. God. It was mind blowing. Anyone coming here definitely has to try it, and I promise you won’t be disappointed.
My favorite part about this place is their washroom. It had the words «hello beautiful» written on the mirror which I think is adorable.

I went there very very late and people were nice and friendly, but honestly the giant crêpe I had didn’t taste very much.

Funky cool atmosphere. Food hit the spot and so did the sangria! Great lunch stop.

Had the chocolicious and it was good! I could actually taste the nutella because the crêpe was the right thickness. I ended up returning two days later, but this time the crêpe was too crispy as if it had been left on for too long. I told the waiter and he fixed the solution right away. i was given a second and it tasted a lot better. Excellent and friendly service.
Loved the hipster environment. I’d definitely go back again.

Love the grungy run down hipster neighbourhood. Tried a ‘chocolicious’ crêpe with Nutella and strawberry+ bananas. Amazing combo — can’t really mess up
That winning combination. Outdoor seating is nice! Savoury crepes looked delicious.
I like the area but I’d try another dish next time just to try something different

Good service, good music, hipster like interior. Went there to pass some time and turned out to have a nice small menu .
They also have this espresso in ice cream drink, really unique but not what I would suggest for regular coffee drinkers.

Wost crepes I’ve ever had. loud music. annoying naïve new owner… good luck surviving in kensington.

Greetings Jen!

Your «crêpe» is very french and amazingly tasty!

Amazingly friendly staff, great soy chai latte, and relaxing atmosphere and beer. What more could I ask for
Also, I left for about 30 minutes after having my coffee and as I was walking back to the area to meet up with friends, but I had to really use the bathroom. I asked and they accommodated. I know it’s a small thing, but appreciated.
Any who., try the chai latte

The best part about Krepesz is the location and patio. It’s the perfect spot to stop on a walk thru the market on your way up toward College St. and relax with a delicious coffee. The lattes here taste delicious and served in a nice porcelain cup, although I prefer a larger one to keep the heat in until the last sip. I haven’t tried the food yet, but it looks yummy, especially the sweet rolled up Hungarian pastry on the counter, covered with sugar. Great service, just go in and order and they will bring it to your seat. Recommended.

I like it!
summer. patio. people watching. great crepes that are different from regular french ones.
they have a variety of teas and coffees. and a choice of sweet and savory krepesz=)
I loved mine with feta and spinach. and the price is only about $ 8

I was excited to check this place out after reading about it on Unilocal and it sure lived up to the expectation. While other Hungarian restaurants may serve you 5 different kinds of Schnitzel, Krepesz brings me something more true to what I used to eat as a kid, Crepes or Palacsinta (in Hungarian).
They have about a dozen different kinds both sweet and savoury as well serve coffees and beer. We ordered one with ricotta, strawberries and banana, and the other was with chicken and spinach. I didn’t think I would like the chicken one but it was actually ridiculously good! The fruit one was very yummy as well. I was impressed with the portions, well sized and filled, not too much but just right.
I am definitely looking forward to my next visit to Kensington Market area!

My pal and I dropped in to warm up because it was so cold outside. The décor inside is really cute and spacious; there are heaps of tables.
Didn’t get to try their crepes (next time!), but had an Americano Misto with a Chimney Cake (a Hungarian treat). I really like this place — it’s a chill out place that serves crepes, coffee, and Canadian beers.

curiosity got the best of me and I found my self figuring out first hand what the hell a chicken stew crêpe could be. What the hell is it? Delcious! This full meal-​sized item had fresh spinach and a cheesyness I could not resist.
Though a full 9 dollars with tax the item is larger and made quickly. Though with any reheating ability you need two people to eat it. I got mine to go and w. ant to go avain

Not bad spot for crêpes in Kensington Market. It’s worth pointing out right off the bat that these aren’t the French crêpes you’re probably used to. They are a bit thicker and taste like they have been cooked a little longer than typical crêpes, but they’re still pretty decent and you get a good portion.
They serve both sweet and savoury Hungarian crêpes (palacsinta) here. They are pretty specifically priced at $ 7.97, and they have a combo deal where you can get soup and crêpe or coffee and crêpe for ten bones. Not too shabby.
They serve espresso here also (49^th Parallel) and have free Wi-​Fi. Given that ALL the furniture is patio furniture, I’m not likely to spend too much time here to work, but I’ll definitely stop by if I’m feeling in a crêpe-​y mood.
Obligatory Title Pun: Don’t shed this PALACSINTA.
Menu Readability: Loosely wrapped in plastic. What up with that? Just laminate that beyotch.
Need to mention: They are licenced and have Mill Street and Flying Monkey on draught.
What this place teaches me about myself: I’m HUNGAR-​ing for a better title pun.

Although the food looked and smelled great this review is only for the patio. It’s not too crowded and the seats are just plain wooded chairs. Each table has a parasol which is a hit for hot and sunny weather.
Slightly more expensive for my taste, but I guess it’s good for Kensington or any other patio for that matter. A SanPellegrino and Ice Coffee came up to 7 $ with tip.

I am easy… Krepesz Café won me over easily…
— Empty on a Sunday lunch time at Kensington Market area
— rainy outside
— free WIFI just ask for password
— Crepes! Yes Freshly made Crepes!
— Combo Deal!!! Crepes and Cappuccino for $ 9.99
— Nutella! (My default fillings for a sweet crêpe!)
I just hang around here for awhile until the rain stop. enjoying my crêpe which was deliciously. a little more doughy but great as a brunch.
I will be back for their Chicken Stew Crêpe, since of course it is a Combo Special deal!

I inadvertently turned my head and notice this café the other day. It’s unsuspecting. I suppose in the market with signs everywhere some places can get lost.
I’ve read more about the business and their story. My whole lean towards walking is always the coffee so I had no intention of trying anything else. However, I can’t say I noticed anything particularly unique about the place except that I found it quite modern for a Kensington café. I liked that aspect though.
49^th parallel coffee is their beans of choice here. I have tried that coffee at 49^th Parallel Vancouver. I’ve even bought their beans and made it at home. I really, really want to like this but I have to say it always falls behind, Every time I have had a cup of any 49^th parallel derivative it always goes down as OK.
That’s how i feel about my drink. I think the pastry would be better but the coffee is OK. You won’t be disappointed but at the same time you won’t drop dead and kiss the ground at the wonder of the cup o’joe you just had.

Saturday 8 pm and hardly any shop open for a quick meal fix. Krepesz was open until 9 pm this night as I noticed couples and MacBook students making this place their comfy Café of choice. With this sign, I walked in to notice «Mom» greeting me where I ordered and she said I can take a seat while I originally thought it was a Pay & Take type of joint like other Cafes in the immediate area.
Sitting on the Patio Wooden Furniture at the back, this is quite a comfortable setting mostly due to the choice of Wall Color I believe. It was somewhat bright for my liking but those MacBook users, Magazine readers, Assignment students didn’t mind it one bit as a Staff brought my meal to me.
Chicken Stew Crêpe (Ground Chicken Breast, cooked in Hungarian Paprika Sauce with Sour-​Cream, Shredded Cheese and Spinach
$ 7.97)
Gummy it was for the Crêpe but that didn’t make it an unappealing experience for me by any means. My comparison to this Gummy Crêpe texture is of a Japanese Takoyaki which I’m a fan. It looks like a new version Taco/​Burrito with a slight difference you might notice from the photos.
Personally, the Chicken in Hungarian Sauce is satisfying and homey which reminds me of same qualities of Hungarian Goulash that would have made it just as satisfying on a cold Autumn night. The seasoning here was actually on the light-​handed side but that just made it feel more healthy for some reason. The choice of Chicken Breast and Spinach helped that effort.
Satisfied walking into the cool autumn’s night…
