I like the vibe of this place. They have healthy options and, as someone lactose intolerant, I’m glad I can finally try crepes. It seems like a nice place to get some work done on the wifi.I had the apple crepe, and I wasn’t a huge fan. Maybe the sugar to fat ratio leaned too heavily towards sugar. It wasn’t terrible or great, but for something with that much sugar I’d hope for a great taste.

Great place for vegetarian crepes (has breakfast options all day long), can be customized to vegan and gluten free options. We ordered a veggie bagel sandwich along with the strawberry banana Nutella crepe (still drooling thinking about it).. both were delicious. The place was hygienic with plenty precautions for COVID-19( including using take out containers/paper plates for serving dine in customers), dine in/take out both available, staff is very accommodating and friendly. We will go again to try savory crepes next time.

Picture was taken over halfway though eating for portion size reference.Great crepes, very solid coffee, and the other options like pasta, bowls, and salad are yummy as well. Portions are large, and almost the entire menu can be made vegan, even if not explicitly stated. Staff was very knowledgeable about the menu.Will be coming back whenever I am in the area.

The Royal savory crepe is delicious. The sweet French Affection crepe is amazing! Pricey tho.

This place may be vegetarian.. but they still believe in plenty :DThe royal crepe was delicious, and way too big. I switched to gluten-free, but was kind of shocked it came out to $21. I kind of wish it could be half the size and a bit cheaper.Will come back to try a sweet crepe

This is possibly the best breakfast I’ve ever had! I am vegan and GF so I haven’t had a crepe in a while. They have 2 different GF crepe batters and both are excellent. I had the Royal Veggie Crepe with vegan cheese, the Apple Cinnamon with bananas, and a mocha with oat milk. (I always eat a lot of food.) I would be here every weekend if I lived here!

First time at this spot right before they were about to close.Ordered the Royal Veggie (savory) & French Affection (sweet).Bring on your appetite for something savory cuz the portions are huge. And the sweet one, the perfect amount of sweetness with their vegan house made sauces. 😋Happy Eating!High on Food. High on Life. -thefoodhighCheck out more reviews and local spots @thefoodhigh on Instagram & yelp.

Got what I ordered. Bowl was good, taste may not be for everyone. Crepe was fine too, not the best but fine. Apple cinnamon filling was tasty. No one item would be filling.

My first visit to the bistro was fine. Due to covid times i took out my food.I took the avocado crepes, bagel sandwich with onion cream cheese and sprouts and a carrot n orange juice.The crepe tasted fine - wasnt really exciting to me.I liked the taste of bagel sandwich more to be honest with the thick layer of cheese and the sprouts along with.The juice was great too. I requested them to make me a juice with half carrot and half orange. The juice felt fresh and was great in taste.

I used to come here more often, however while the food is still as amazing as ever, theyve raised their prices by 1-2 dollars on most of the menu. To their credit, the crepes are still some of the best you can get in the Bay Area, and they always have fresh ingredients, they are a bit too pricy to make a regular thing. Their restaurant is a little too small, so it can get a little cramped when its busy. I highly recommend their orange juice and ginger shots, even though they are pricey. Dont forget to park in the back! (Entrances off of Newhall/Scott and Linden Dr., and you can walk through the back door to get to the restaurant.)

Great options for vegans and vegetarians. The staff is friendly and makes sure customers are satisfied. Due to COVID everything is served in a to-go box but you can still sit at a table and eat your food there.

Review №18

This is by far my favorite restaurant in South Bay!It is original, healthy, delicious, has huge portions, fairly priced and has a very quaint atmosphere.The owners truly care about the customers. Over the years, I’ve received free tea, been allowed to stay past closing while they clean up, have them take an order even after the kitchen closed, etc... They really treat you like a person rather than a just a customer.The variety is so great that you can order anything from sweet crepes, to savory crepes, juices, açaí bowls, soups, salads, and much more. There is always a healthy and delicious choice depending on what you want.My two favorite combinations:1. The royal veggie on buckwheat crepes2. The Italian Crepe with avocado and tofu on buckwheat crepes

Review №19

I was disappointed that they chose to serve the food on paper plates and give us plastic cutlery. Their prices and decor dont suggest fast and cheap. Their boxes to pack extra food was made of styrofoam! One of reasons to be vegan is that we care about the environment so it would make sense for them to use proper plates, stainless steel cutlery and biodegradable packaging.I also didnt like that they counted substitutions as add-ons which we found out after we got the bill- including substituting mozzarella for vegan cheese and getting GF crepes. The food was good though.

I call crepes an alternate to regular breakfast food items. It was my first time at Crepes Bistro and I enjoyed the food very much. They have many choices of different crepes sweet or with veggies. This would be a great spot for vegetarians. Food and coffee is good and service was alright.

Super friendly and accommodating. Savory and sweet crepes were both so good. Iced and hot coffees hit the spot. A couple of tables available outdoors completed a great meal.

A bit pricy for regular crepes with tomato sauce and pesto, but I was happy, that they serve gluten free food and oat-milk with no meat at all. Kitchen smells weird and tables as well, but overall not bad experience!

Review №33

Decent crepes. The garden crepe needed a little more salt (better than too much). The acai bowl was good. But the Apple cinnamon crepe was great! Friendly staff and fast service. The atmosphere was nice but a little loud. Beautiful water color paintings on the walls. Prices were about as expected for a specialty crepe restaurant.(If this review was helpful, please hit the like icon below)

Review №38

I like this place because they have ginger shots and fresh juices. The tofu scramble is really yummy but I hate the youre essentially overcharged for a meal because it includes soup or salad. Soup is decent but often needs salt and pepper.

Review №41

This was our first time here, drive from Santa Cruz, for some vegan eats and this place blew us away! The royal veggie crepe with their house made vegan pesto was EXTRAORDINARY!! SO DELISH AND NUTRISH!! The staff was very friendly and voluntarily brought a little bowl of water for my dog outside . Customer service was excellent and prompt. It was such a great experience and you get a good amount of food too. The value is definitely there. The monkey banana smoothie was perfect not too sweet and creamy. Im so happy we came here today! Our new favorite vegan spot !

Review №47

If you are a vegan and vegetarian, this little hidden gem shall not be missed. I think it’s the best and healthy crepes place that I’ve discovered so far.They do serve many savory and sweet crepes as well. We tried the Royal garden crepe and Acai original, both are excellent. The price is worth paying for since they do serve big portion. Juices are amazing here as well. Things are just basically prepare so fresh here. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you have to wait a little but longer than usual. Highly recommend.

Review №48

Interesting veg/vegan place! We tried avacado savory crepes, works savory crepes, berry smoothie and orange+carrots fresh orange juice. All ingredients were really fresh, especially we enjoy fresh orange+carrots juice and highly recommend! Avacado crepes was lighter, creamier, minimal ingredients but very flavorful!! At this place, first we have to order food and then get the table. This bistro can get pretty busy for weekend breakfast.

Loved this place been once so far but there is art everywhere from local artists so good i thought they were most were pictures! The setting is spacious enough for wheel chairs, or a large group. Service was great and informative and food was delicious. My wife had a buckewheat crepe that was loaded i think its called the veggy crepe and i got a bagel sandwich, they also have gluten free options.

Awesome food and service.Update Sep 2nd, 2019: I went with another Polish friend and we had the same, arugula and garden, I tried both and we agreed that the arugula is the winner. I will go with an Iranian friend and see what she will order.First visit: I went to have breakfast with a Polish chef, she happened to be vegan. You know the place is great if the chef says so or recommend it. I order arugula crepe savory and my polish friend ordered a vegan Garden Crepe savory. We both enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. We had some laughs and gossiped about different people while enjoying the meal. Good place to eat healthy and enjoy the environment.

Review №65

Delicious crepes that are vegatarian (but many can be made vegan). The food is freshly made and high quality. The lattes were excellent. They lost a star because this place is quite pricey for the amount of food you get. If you are a bigger eater you may end up spending more than you normally would (I paid around $29 for the single crepe and the 2 lattes, my partner left still a bit hungry). Also if you are in a hurry, they do take a while so maybe pass until you have the time to enjoy them. Overall would recommend.

Delicious and nutritious! This place is very cozy, and perfect for year round dining. Split one with a friend, bring your whole family, or treat yourself to these delectable crepes. The options are endless! To anyone with dietary restrictions: accommodations can be made! Gluten free and vegan options are always available! I personally reccomend the Royal Veggie Crepe-its to die for! Make sure to come here AFTER a payday, because these savoury rascals arent cheap! (Averages $12-$18 per crepe) Though your wallet may be crying, you get even more than what you pay for because the portions are HUGE. Seriously, I could barely finish half of the crepe on my own. Also, the staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere is just lovely. Probably my favorite restuarant west of the Mississippi ! Highly, highly reccomend!

I miss this place so much! My husband and I drove out of our way when we lived in the bay for these crepes! Delicious and something here for everyone so this is the best place if you have people in your group with dietary restrictions. I hope they are surviving and doing well during this pandemic. If you ever come to Arizona you have customers waiting!

Happy to have had a good experience here.Crepes Bistro - San Jose, California (Sunday, October 11 2020).I arrived with my baefriend who drove me here. Parking was not a problem - we pulled up and parked directly in the front of the place. A face covering is required to enter, inside seating not allowed but you may sit outside in the front, if you like. The kitchen staff & chefs wore face coverings, head coverings and gloves. You may watch your food being prepared because the kitchen area is open or could gaze at the hanging paintings on the wall or at the television monitor that is mounted on the wall which features photos of the establishments food presentations.Wait time about 15min - 20 maxx.This place has a food smell odor, fresh dough and vegetables. This place also had its front and back doors open, I assume to have air flowing throughout. (thumbs up)I ordered the Royal Veggie Crepe without the vegan or dairy cheese, roasted eggplant, mushrooms, avocado, tomatoes, carrots, green onions, marinated white onion sauce, lemon tahini sauce and spinach.My friend and I ate our Crepes at Home. The food remained fresh, warm and yes it was delicious.Thank you Crepes Bistro for preparing a fresh Sunday brunch meal and being kind. I shall return. Ja
