Fenton Cafe

I ate there for the first time last night. The food is delicious and the service was excellent. I will certainly be returning.

Wanted to find a quick and tasty unique place in silver spring, and chose this cute little café. The crepes were exactly what I wanted, and staff is courteous.

Not enough seating is my only complain. It’s just too tight for me.
However, crepes were soooooo yummy. I’ll come back.

I went to this place for the first time yesterday, after driving past it many times and telling myself that one day I’d check it out. When I arrived I saw it was pretty small inside, but it had a nice local, cosy vibe. I was informed their credit card machine was down so I’d have to pay in cash – strike one. Luckily it was a rare occasion where I had cash so I decided I’d still give it a try. I ordered a grilled chicken savory wrap, only to be told that they were out of the grilled chicken – I was getting pretty annoyed at this point! But I was hungry and I decided to still give it a try; I ordered a cheese, tomato, and avocado savory wrap and a butter and sugar sweet wrap.
I didn’t expect to like it. I expected to be annoyed again, since the first two inconveniences. But I had an AMAZING time here because the food I did get was SO. DAMN. TASTY. I couldn’t believe how delicious it was! Soft, moist crepes, fresh tomatoes and avocado, yummy cheese. It was exactly what I wanted; maybe I wouldn’t have liked the grilled chicken as much and this was Providence, who knows? But I had no regrets. The staff waited until I was mostly through with my savory wrap until they made and brought out the sweet one. I was almost annoyed thinking they’d forgotten, but they hadn’t: they were being considerate! I was SOOO happy!
And that butter and sugar crêpe – MMM! I ordered it thinking it would have a butter pat and a dash of powdered sugar, but these folks aren’t messing around. It was SLATHERED in melted butter – literally dripping – and had enough sugar that it even crunched a little between my teeth. I love that.
This place was amazing. My first two minutes in the establishment made me think I was going to go away unsatisfied, but I was beyond impressed and happy. GO HERE!

Escaped from work today to find crepes and was happy to find this café. Ordered a sweet and savory crêpe since it’s the last day of the year and figured I can do one more crazy thing before ringing in the new year.
The presentation for the savory crêpe was simple. It was extremely delicious and satisfying and was my favorite out of the two. The sweet crêpe was also delicious but a smidge too sweet and by this time I was already full. If you can’t decide and you’re with a friend, it would probably be best to share a sweet crêpe together.
Because there were only two women working, the crepes seemed to take some time to make. It’s fun watching them make the crepes and the café is just cozy enough for you to do some work or read a good book. If you’re in a rush, I wouldn’t recommend this place but if you’re looking for a hole in the wall café with amazing crepes, stop by!

I loved the Nutella and banana crêpe I had here! It was filled just right: not stingy neither bursting out of the crêpe.
At about $ 6 or so for the crêpe, it was worth it!
The cappuccino was also decent. Burnt my tongue even after repeated blowing on the top; it was definitely hotter than my usual Starbucks.
The place is very small. I went in around 1:30 pm on a Sunday (today) when there were 7 – 8 other people there and the place felt near full capacity.
The servers are sweet, smiling and helpful.
I will be back to try a savory crêpe.

Pretty good! I honestly haven’t eaten enough crepes in my life to know what constitutes a «great» crêpe (don’t worry, this is now my life’s mission).
I don’t know if these are «amazing», but they’re pretty darn good. Got a savory (avocado with tomato & cheese) and a sweet (Nutella with banana and strawberry). Came to around $ 16. Both were very good! I did comment that I wished the savory came with some sort of sauce or garnish…
You get to watch them make the crepes, which is really cool!!!
Tips:
Small place, only a couple of seats
Street parking only

I read the Unilocal reviews and passed by often. One night my boyfriend and I stopped in and we both got two sweet crepes. Nutella, bananas and blueberries and Nutella, strawberries and raspberries. They were absolutely amazing and I am so happy I live within walking distance because I know I will catch myself craving them at anytime during the day. Im going to try the meat and cheese crepes next! Can’t get enough!

Crepes are delicious. One of the best breakfast places in this area for me. Although the place is on the small side, the staff were friendly and the food is worth the wait.

Cozy café with great prices and most importantly, absolutely delicious crêpes. So far I’ve had the ham and cheese, sweet banana, and Nutella with strawberry. Generously stuffed with fresh ingredients. Cappuccinos are good. Will definitely return!

This place is a hidden treasure. It doesn’t look like much from the outside or inside, but dang their food was off the charts. I had a crêpe with eggs inside and they delivered. I was hungry for more afterwards.
The service and ordering was rather confusing though, hence the 4 stars. And the place is kind of hole in the wall-​ish. But the food makes up for everything.

I had a great experience getting brunch here this morning. I got the Fenton Brunch Special and it was delicious. My friend and I also shared a nutella banana crêpe and that was just as great. I think what really topped it off for me was how wonderful the service was. The ladies who served us were quite nice and thoughtful. We had received our savory crepes first and thought that maybe our nutella banana one was forgotten about. But as we finished our savory crepes, our server came by to clear our plates and gave us our nutella banana crêpe. My friend and I definitely appreciated that.
We had came around noon and waited about 10 minutes until we received our first crepes. The place is small, but cozy and we could watch our crepes being made. I definitely recommend coming to Fenton Café.

Great find! Tucked along Fenton St. near the corner of Bonifant is this wonderful little crêpe place. It’s very small, with an unassuming storefront and inside, but the crepes are on point. They offer lots of variety from sweet to savory, all at a reasonable price point. My only gripe (which is why I didn’t give 4 stars) is the coffee. It’s okay, but tastes a little burnt. Granted, I prefer medium roast, as I like to taste the coffee bean, so take that with a grain of salt. The bigger problem, however, is the lack of half/​half or cream. Instead, they have coffeemate creamers… GROSS. They do have milk, you just have to ask for it. Still worth a visit for the crepes alone. And the staff are super nice.

Crepes are one of my favorite things so when I found a crepery near my apartment I was ecstatic! We got two sweet crepes filled with strawberries and bananas. Not too doughy and not too much Nutella (but there’s no such thing right?). They were so good, I will be back!

Terribly slow service and it seemed completely out of order when people were waiting for 33 minutes for their order and other people came in and got their order right away.
Took forever just to get their food.
Could have walked all the way to France to get real crepes and came back by the time they actually cared about people sitting patiently waiting for their order.

Absolutely delicious!
We ordered three crepes for the two of us: banana and nutella, strawberry and nutella, and the savory spinach, artichoke, feta crêpe. The sweet crepes were just as good as expected. If possible, almost too nutella-​y, which I didn’t think was a thing. They top the crepes with whipped cream which was awesome to cut down on all the rich chocolate goodness. The savory crêpe was more like a salad wrapped in a crêpe, but it was delicious and light– a nice complement to the heavier nutella crepes.
I can’t wait to come back. They have probably 50 varieties, so I’ll definitely be trying something new the next time. Also, if you can snag one of the outside tables, it makes for a great relaxing brunch!

Nice, cozy little place to get coffee and a treat. Both times I went I got the Nutella Banana and Strawberry crepes. They’re a good size and really good. (Hint: twice I ordered just Nutella and banana and both times they threw in the strawberry for free)
I’m excited to try a breakfast crepes w eggs tomato and bacon. I saw someone else order it and it looked quite tasty.

One of the best place for crepes. I tried the sweet one and I loved them.
The hosts were very nice and courteous .They were going to close it but delayed closing and let us finish our food.
FYI — They close early on Sundays !

The number of hungover mornings I have spent here getting food into my system is insane, lol! I love this place! It is tiny and cramped, but they have some great crepes! I have had a one off bad experience here with my crêpe being full of canned spinach and all, but 95% of the time, this place has delivered!
I love their savory and sweet crepes alike. I mean when you slather something with nutella, how can it not be good, really? I am a big fan of their breakfast crepes — anything with eggs, tomato and cheese will make me a happy bits. Service is usually friendly and the coffee is strong.
The one thing I dislike about this place is that they are never particular about the order of our food. It would be nice to have our savory crepes before we started on the sweet ones (which is what I always try to make clear to them when I order). But inevitably, my sweet crêpe shows up before the savory one!
All in all, great local place to support and have brunch at rather frequently, especially if you are nursing a Sunday Morning hangover, lol!

Yesterday I looked at my Unilocal profile, and I was like… I give a lot of things 5 stars. And then I was like… am I too soft on places.
Then it struck me. Ya know why I give 5’s to so many places… Cause I use Unilocal ALOT. And when I do decide to go spend my own hard earned money– it’s at a place that already has a really good reputation. Or it’s a brand new place– and I get too excited and give it 5 stars. Either way… I’m just a very happy guy! I’m sorry!
So, before you criticize me for giving everything 5 stars… Unilocal more! Hahahahaha. Anyways, I don’t give everything 5 stars: e.g. I gave 4 stars to Riverside Hot Pot… and 3 stars to Silk Road Chuyhona. So there!
So, now will you let me give 5 stars to Fenton Café? How can you not like Fenton Café? Its a little café and there specialty is crepes and coffee… they have a list of over 20 – 30 different crepes. Savory and sweet! I got a savory crêpe with pesto chicken, swiss cheese, avocado, and tomato inside. It was SO Good.
Then I split one of the sweet crepes with nuttella, strawberries, and raspberries in it. OMG #Heaven– that was heaven.
I got an Iced Tea while I was there. It was good, nothing really special. But the service was amazing — which totally bumped back up my star rating. They were all very nice.
There credit card machine was having issues, so I had to run next door to Exxon to pull out money, but they started making my order anyways while I was pulling out money. They didn’t want to make me wait until I paid. That’s just a small thing that went so far. Especially because I was at a business meeting– and it was already awkward running next door for cash.
Half of me was like… does this person think my card was declined… that’d be embarrassing. Does this person think my card was declined and then I just went and robbed the gas station?! Even much more embarrassing!
Great place to grab a drink, sit outside, and enjoy a delicious crêpe! What else do you want people. Also, they have WIFI and umbrellas on two of their tables AND street parking right in front (and a lot around the corner). What more do you want!
