J’aime Les Crêpes

Soooooo good. Love this place. Been coming for years. My husband and I hop on the ferry just for the crepes here. Always perfectly cooked and the fillings are plentiful. I love that it’s a small shop, I fully support local businesses and I’m happy to spend my money here. Also please tip them, it’s hard to make perfectly cooked crepes and they nail it every time!

I have been to this location multiple times. Each time they just barely finished the crepes and I need to rush back to the car to load onto the ferry. Last time I was there I had one hour before needing to load onto the ferry and still only just got back to my car in time! With regards to the crepes, The ratios are off. Ingredients are not well proportioned and the actual crepes at times have multiple holes. Every time I go back I think that this time it’s going to be different but it’s not.

Delicious! I love the apple caramel crêpe especially when I add a scoop of vanilla ice-​cream to it. Hubby loves the Nutella crêpe. The service can sometimes be a bit slow, especially when there’s a long line, but they make each crêpe to order and they don’t seem to get upset when you ask to omit or add something.
Note: There isn’t really any indoor seating, but if it’s a nice day, there are plenty of tables and chairs outside.

Quick service on a sunny Saturday morning but the crepes were just okay. We are admittedly spoiled by the amazing Caravan Crepes food truck in Seattle, but if you’re waiting for the ferry and craving something good, this will probably fit the bill.

Amazing! Haven’t had a crêpe since Paris… many years ago and it was pretty right on! The salmon and cream cheese and the chicken with artichoke pesto… sooooo good ! The girls who work there are very nice and as well.

There isn’t enough praise I can sing for J’aime Les Crêpes. First off its sooooo cute! This isn’t some mega corporation or a place where the owner has lost touch witch why he started the place. Its a hole in the wall that serves fantastic crêpes, ice cream, and coffee. Lets start with the crêpes.
Large variety, made fresh, with excellent ingredients. Right in front of your eyes they will be assembled and your just going to want to dive right in. This isn’t coming out on some fine china, its on a paper plate with some paper towels. You can just grab that bad boy and crunch or you can grab a fork and knife and head to the outdoor benches or the very intimate seating area indoors. The views for either part is fantastic. My recommendation is the salmon cream cheese or chicken crêpe.
The coffee is fantastic! I had a nutella latte and it was everything I was missing in life, made faster than that master barista at starbucks and tastes smoother too.
Lastly the ice cream is an afterthought but its good, I’ve really never been in Kingston and needed an ice cream because its typically quite breezy but I suppose if I was there on a hot day it would hit the spot.
This is easily my #1 ranked place in Kingston and its not even close. Do yourself a favor and drop by!

This place is fantastic! Delicious savory and sweet crepes, and the staff couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. Substitutions were very easy and the space is adorable. I’ll definitely return if I’m ever in the area again.
The only minor thing to note is that they make the sweet crepes with powdered instead of granulated sugar, but they would probably switch it for you if you asked.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ total gem.

Very good crêpe!!! Best while waiting for your ferry ride. Good customer service. The Nutella and banana crêpe is very good and try the savory smoked salmon too. I would recommend this place for a quick bite when in town.

Such a cute little spot. Right off the Kingston ferry, they make creative and fun crepes as well as amazing coffee! I would definitely recommend checking this place out :)

Love everything about this place, being so close to the ferries. Crepes were awesome, I had the savory salmon crêpe, and sweet with simple lemon and sugar.

This is my second time here. We stopped on our way to the Olympics for some hiking.
My fave is the Napoleon but i substitute the mustard for pesto basil sauce. Also I like the dark chocolate with strawberries.
There is usually a bit of a wait during meal times as they only make 1 sometimes 2 at a time.

While I was disappointed to have missed the ferry, happiness was soon restored once I dragged myself out of my warm car to venture to this little shop. The smell of Nutella filled the area surrounding it ! The crepes were delicious and generously portioned. You can easily share one portion with your crêpe enjoying buddy who is also waiting for the ferry. I am only giving this place 4 stars as the only seating is outside in front of the tiny shop. The blistering cold was not a side I wanted with my macadamia nut and Nutella crêpe.

My son lives ordering a crêpe when we are waiting for the ferry or in need of a quick and non-​deep-​fried dinner.
Our favorites are… The chicken delite, salmon w/​spinach added, lemon and powdered sugar, and nutella.

I looked at Unilocal reviews yesterday and decided to give this place a try. It was very good and the service was great. There was a long line so obviously a favorite of the locals and rightfully so. Even with the long line service was pretty quick and worth the wait.

These are the best crepes that I have ever had. They are made with fresh ingredients! The staff are very nice, and hard workers. I would suggest this to anyone looking for the best place to eat in Kingston.

We came in at 9:05 to get crepes and the girls working inside had closed one door and when we tried to go in they just looked at us and didn’t help. Then we saw people trying to do the same thing and they didn’t help them either so these other people tried the other door and that one was open so we went in with them. My sister had her dog and the girl working said «can you not bring your dog in, I just moped and we’re closing in ten minutes» we thought they closed at 9:40 not 9:15… I am so disappoint at their customer service because I used to love their crepes.

This place really knows how to make crepes. Perfectly made batter thinly applied to the hot griddle. Fillings to please any palate.

Fun atmosphere, great snack while you wait for the ferry! They’re open on Thanksgiving! I had the Nutella and banana crêpe. So good! The staff was friendly and they got to go to France to learn how to make authentic crepes.

Something for everyone here. For savory, we tried the Grilled Chicken, Italian, The Special and Moveable Feast. For sweet, we had honey and almonds and Nutella, banana and strawberries. We ate everything! Very clean. Highly recommend. Bön appétit!

A visit to the Kingston Farmers market would not be considered complete without a stop here! A great selection of both sweet and savory crepes to choose from that are made to order while you watch.
The also have good coffee.
The only negative is the lack of indoor seating so most of the time I have sit outside or in the car if the weather is crappy.

If you’re waiting for the ferry and want to get a quick bite to eat, this is the place to go. They offer a variety of crepes and coffee drinks. Their sweet and savory crepes are equal parts delicious, affordable and massive. I ordered a Mediterranean crêpe with add-​ons and it was under ten bucks!
Next time you’re in Kingston you need to stop by.

Honestly never had a bad experience. Plus you can really tell that the owner takes care of his employees.

Quaint creperie right off the Edmonds-​Kingston ferry. My cousin was in town visiting and wanted to take a ferry ride. Someone suggested the E-​K ferry with a stop off at J’aime Les Crepes for lunch. Thankful for the suggestion, otherwise I may have never found this place!
You walk up to the counter to order your sweet or savory crêpe. There are several selections to chose from, and many sounded delicious. My cousin & I decided on savory crepes while my husband decided on a sweet crêpe. You can add an egg to any savory crêpe for $ 1 and a scoop of ice cream (8ish flavors to chose from) to any sweet crêpe for $ 1. After ordering, you can watch the employees make the crepes as you wait, but it can get crowded in their small building. We watched the lady working make about 6 crepes (quite skillfully, I might add) before being served our own. Very fast service, despite the backup of orders since the ferry had just let out.
If I had to knock them on anything, it is that seating is limited, and mostly outside. Our only option was to eat our crepes sitting on a park bench, as all the tables around the outside of the business were taking. A few more picnic tables in the near vicinity would be nice, although I don’t know how practical that is for the business. If I’m ever taking the E-​K ferry again, I will definitely stop back by & perhaps try a sweet crêpe!

I rarely give some place a 5 star rating because I think it is often over used by some. I mean I have seen a Starbucks get a 5 star rating and we all know that is crap. Not the civet cat crap coffee, just plain old bull crap.
Anyways, back on topic. We had skipped Kingston because they didn’t offer reservations for the ferry unlike Port Townsend does but this time we decided to chance it and went to Kingston instead and this place made the decision worth the risk.
The coffee was good, the crepes were amazing and the staff was friendly without coming off as trying too hard or it being as poorly faked as the dialogue in porn.
I’ve had crepes before, can make crepes and understand the heritage of them so the idea that some place is attempting it so successfully makes me smile.

This is an awesome place right next to the ferry terminal. We parked our car walked over gat hot and tasty crepes and could walk back in 10 minutes. The prices are great and they have a lot of options for both veggie and meat lovers.
We had a Mediterranean and a sweet crêpe and even my 17 month old loved them.

Very good place to have a snack!
My favorite crepes is the one with strawberries and nutela! Yumm yumm!

«Crêpes made faster than the 4:55 PM ferry can dock.»
This is a place where savory or sweet crêpes are served at lightning speed. I missed the ferry back to Edmonds and found myself venturing outside of my vehicle in search of a quick snack. J’aime Les Crêpes was the first shop I saw upon leaving the Kingston dock. There was a line stretching out of the shop and the smell of crêpes and chocolate was hypnotic. In all honesty, there was some panic and fear that the wait time may cause me to miss my next ferry ride. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast the line disappeared.
The shop itself is not huge. I would say about ½ of the space is the kitchen. There are 2 tables located indoors and an outside seating area. Menu items definitely caused me to double think my order. The massive amounts of options from both savory and sweet was overwhelming. I opted for the Caramel, pecans, dark chocolate, and whipped cream crêpe. The crêpe was deliciously sinful. Layers of caramel, pecans, and chocolate delivered a sweet sensation to my palette. The service was top notch. I watched my crêpe being made and the staff acknowledged the ferry times and acted with urgency. They also offer ice cream sundaes, cones, shakes, and coffee drinks. This marks one of the few times I am glad I missed the ferry.

Such a fun little spot! Found online and made sure to include in our first ferry venture, was very glad I did. Fantastic variety meant there was something for everyone in our group of 5. Between us, we had crepes, coffee and ice cream.
We took our treats back with us on the ferry and there in lies my only suggestion — «to go» containers would be very helpful as opposed to the paper plate provided. Granted, we were given an extra plate to use as a top, which was kind and thoughtful, but not the same. Walking with the delicacy in hand, surrounded by seagulls that seem to sense your unease and the possibility that your crêpe may just become their crêpe, the small distance to the safety of the boat seems a lot further off. All in all, we ultimately made the voyage with crepes unharmed, until we devoured them.

This was a random stop that triggered us towards the crepes through the warm, sweet scent of crepes. The menu had a lot of variety. I had strawberries with dark chocolate. It was a good Amazing! Quantity was amazing. I would like to try the apple with cinnamon next time.
The staff was super nice and genuine.

Cute little place right next to the ferry terminal. It’s very small with a small section with a couple of tables. It’s very convenient when you want a quick snack while waiting for the ferry. When I ordered I thought, of great, another crêpe places that charges too much for a very small serving. For about $ 7.50 (Maui Mac Nutella crêpe) you get a large crêpe. It’s cut in two and it can feed two people easily. Actually my husband and I could barely finish it. I would love to try some of the others’. Maybe on my next ferry crossing!

I’m only giving this 4 stars, because the fruits are frozen (and microwaved prior to being put in the crepes). Otherwise, the process of watching crepes being created is mesmerizing. With combinations like bananas and chocolate or lemon and blueberries, its hard to say your sweet tooth won’t be satisfied. They also feature other flavors like salmon with chives and cheese. I prefer the dessert crepes :)
They also have Italian soda, hot and iced tea.
It was a tasty end to a date.
