C’est Si Bon Café

I brought my husband here for lunch. I had the salmon and cream cheese crêpe– AMAZING! they have great sweet crepes but they also have killer «lunch crepes». Enjoy!

I had high hopes for this place. The truth is there is so much unrealized potential that a few tweaks and it will be five star worthy. A focus solely on crepes is genius, but they either were too sweet (banana) or too bland (bacon and egg). The latte and cappuccino were both nice, but the iced coffee left a lot to be desired. The service was very slow, but I tried to imagine myself in France where I would be in absolutely no hurry at all to receive and rush through my meal. This helped calm me a bit. But while I waited I couldn’t help but wonder why the cashier didn’t even acknowledge with a mere thank you that I plopped several dollars in their apparently seldom used tip jar on the counter. No wonder it was near empty. Being ignored like that made we want to take my tip back. So much waisted potential. With a tad bit of seasoning and a tad bit of customer service friendliness, this can easily be a crown jewel in Bexley.

So, I’m not really sure what people see in this place. I came in on a pretty slow Monday, and when I walked in two girls were sitting and chatting, and no one greeted me. That normally will make me walk right out the door, but I really wanted a good crêpe. So, I ordered a turkey peach crêpe and a lavender lemon. The dessert crêpe was just a crêpe with syrup inside. I could’ve made that at home. No hint of lavender anywhere. The turkey crêpe was just deli meat and it was quite soggy. I won’t be returning.

I stumbled upon this place on a random day looking for a brunch spot not located in the downtown area. The food & atmosphere of this small establishment will leave you wanting more & more. I had the Club Crêpe & I’ll just say this… the world will be a better place if we all had it to start our days. I will be coming back to try the rest of their wonderful menu.

This place is fantastic. Was better than expected. Simple, but plenty of options. The gluten free crêpes taste amazing. No tasteless dough here. Highly recommended.

A wonderful little spot tucked away in the midst of Bexley’s downtown. Located right across from Capital, I’m always surprised not see a line of college students lined out the door. The food is delicious and priced at an affordable rate. The endless combinations will have you ordering more than one, and then going back for more! Well worth stopping on by!

Cute little café in bexley.
Great service/​staff.
Tried the ham/​egg/​cheese crêpe and it was so delicious. Same for the cappuccino. Usually I like sugar in my coffee but I could drink the cappuccino without any sugar because it was that good.
Definitely will visit again to try more of the coffees and crepes! I tried some of my sister’s strawberry and cream one and it was also amazing.

Bön. Bön. The food was quite good. I had the veggie crêpe and my husband had the philly chicken. And freshly brewed black tea. The crepes were large and my husband didn’t think he’d eat all of his. But he couldn’t stop — it was that good. The atmosphere was nice. And Bobbi, the owner, was very nice and pleasant to talk with. Soo we decided to try the dessert crepes. Wow! Cinnamon and apple with cream crêpe and the lavender with lemon crêpe. Yes lavender and lemon. Oh myyyy! I must tell everyone. We will definitely go back. Thinking of a nice Sunday afternoon sitting outside on the patio chairs/​table. You must check this restaurant out!

Wow, what a great surprise! We saw a TV story about this place and had to check it out. It was definitely worth the 20 mile drive. The food selection was amazing and the price was very good too.
The most expensive item (salmon crêpe) was $ 9.50 and that was a large crêpe. The only negative is parking a car can be challenging as there does not seem to be many large parking lots near the store.
One of the best kept secrets in Bexley.

I’m so happy that they had a slight name change (added café) and moved but did not close. I had visited their location in Canal a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Both savory and sweet crepes were good and food was fresh. The cinnamon coffee drink was also tasty albeit a little too sweet. Plenty to choose from as well. My mom and I were sad when we thought they closed their doors. I will definitely be stopping in soon! Hoping their crepes are still great!

Yum! Popped in with a friend for a quick breakfast. I had an egg and veggie, then we split a lavender lemon. The texture was perfection. I tend to find the crepes soggy at other places in the city. We received excellent service and I love that they the coffee. It’s to die for. The outdoor seating also offers excellent people watching. Did I mention great service too?

Hidden gem tucked away in little Bexley. Consistently delivers great service and amazing crepes! Oh, and don’t sleep on the homemade soups.

So, here’s how it is.
There ain’t a lotta crêpe game in town. And I love a good crêpe. Also, for that matter, my 2– and 4-​year-​old love a good crêpe. C’est Si Bön makes a good crêpe! So, it is inevitable that we will have lunch dates there on repeat.
The food: Love the selection. The 3 of us each order a savory crêpe and then share a dessert crêpe. There is plenty for the picky palate; my kids order egg and cheese crêpe, which I imagine other kids may enjoy too. They also steal many a bite of my smoked salmon crêpe. We are good with sharing our food, but there are a few dishes you’re a bit reluctant to share. You know the ones. It’s got salty smoked salmon, melty dilled cream cheese, spicy red onions, and sour capers. Perfection! The good news, is after they’ve eaten a third of mine, they share their egg and cheese which is also satisfying. The savory list has about 15 – 20 choices and the sweet about a dozen. They’ll have something you’ll like!
The service: Yeah, this is what brings them down a star for me. The ladies behind the counter, taking money and working the crêpe pans, are pleasant enough. Just don’t expect over the top service, and most of all (this is important for parents and people on a tight lunch break)…it’s gonna be a while. The real reason for that is there are two griddles. And it takes a little while to whip up a crêpe! So if you’re short on time, peek in and see how busy it looks and plan accordingly. If you are casually meeting a friend over crepes and you have time to kick back, swap stories, and enjoy some delicious food, do it!
The ambiance: I am partial to this space because my aunt ran a balloon business in it. I especially like that if I look down at the old hardwood floors, I can imagine how it looked. There is also a display window that looks out on Main St. (ideal people watching!) that they’re placed a 2-​top in. It’s a sweet little place to sit and feel special! The rest of the space has 2-​tops that can be pushed together or apart, and bars flanking the walls made of life-​edge vertical slabs of tree trunk. It is a pleasant, light, and inviting space. Which will be good while you wait. Sort of a while. For worthwhile crepes.

We love this place. It’s our favorite spot on Main St in Bexley. The club crêpe and the breakfast crepes are our favorites. And we always end with a sweet one to share.

This place is a must go first class, family owned, personal touch! Everything on their menu is delicious! Breakfast, lunch or a quick snack! If you enjoy eating, this place will become your favorite venue!

This is the cutest little crêpe place I have ever seen. The people inside are so friendly and want to hold conversation, and the food is absolutely amazing. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for sweet or savory crepes!

This is my new favorite place. I had the club and the smores crêpe. I have no idea which was better. They were both excellent! The family that owns this business is incredibly nice. I’m pretty confident that everything on their menu is going to be good, and it seems like dinner here and then a Drexel movie seems like an ideal date night.

I wish I had an idea of how big these crepes were before I decided to order two of them. Whoops. It’s lunch time so obviously I’m going to get a savory crêpe, but also, I haven’t had a crêpe in years, and the ones I normall get are sweet, so I had to get one of those as well.
I went with the club, which comes with turkey, ham, and bacon, you know, like a normal club sandwich, but this one has cheddar and a red pepper mayo on it. That mayo made the sandwich it was so damn tasty, but the crêpe itself was very good, and I was surprised how well it kept together with the ingredients. The ham and turkey were decent, but I wouldn’t label them high quality. I really enjoyed it overall though.
I also ordered the «Lovely», a crêpe filled with nutella, bananas, and strawberries, with chocolate syrup on top and whip cream on the side. This one was way messier and more in line with the crepes I’m familiar with. Once you get past the fact that your plate will be a giant mess at the end with piece of the pancake mixed in somewhere, you’ll really love this one. My body, however, did not as I kept going back and forth between this one and the club, but that’s my own fault.
I couldn’t finish both crepes, so let that be a lesson to anyone thinking a crêpe is not big enough to fill you up. I would have been perfectly content with just one.
The ladies working didn’t really come off as that friendly when I walked in. They didn’t put me off or anything, but they didn’t really say anything. Maybe they were tired, or I caught them on a bad day. I don’t know. That’s least important to me as long as the food tastes good, and I think the food here is a little different from other places in town and pretty darn delicious.

The Wife knows, I LOVE French cuisine. So, a late Saturday morning, she springs a surprise for brunch — off to CSB!
It truly has the feel of a European café. It is so warm and inviting. While spending a good 20 minutes deciding on the menu, we enjoyed recommendations and conversations with the proprietors, Billy and Priest. My wife had the salmon crêpe, and I had the Cajun. Both were absolutely AMAZING! We finished off the meal with a piping-​hot French brewed coffee and traditional dessert crêpe.
Between the warm inviting atmosphere, fun conversations, and the excellent food, we are looking forward to our next visit.

I came here for lunch with my husband today. I was not disappointed. The girls recommended the best crepes out there and even though I didn’t go with their suggestions and went out on a whim with my choice it was still helpful.
My husband actually went with one of their choices of the Brie and Pear Crêpe. He just forgot to read the menu in detail because he doesn’t like balsamic vinaigrette. Therefore, had he read it more closely he would have liked it maybe even more. Although he really liked his honey crêpe. He was a hungry man! Two crepes!
I ordered the stromboli crêpe and loved my crêpe! The meat and cheese inside was just delicious! By the way, to my friends who think I keep kosher, this is totally not kosher so now you know I definitely don’t keep kosher. I don’t mind it either since I like to actually enjoy my food without worrying if it’s okay to eat or not. Life is to short to worry about what you can or can’t eat, you should enjoy everything in life and make the most of it!
The setting and atmosphere of this restaurant is very hip with the convenient tables inside and out. As well as pictures of Paris and music playing just felt so warm and cozy.
I will definitely be back here soon. Not to mention I have a meet-​up scheduled for this exact location on Friday! Can’t wait for my friends to experience the place! I will also get to try the sweeter crepes on Friday as well!:)
I recommend this place if you want a variety of crêpe options to choose from. Keep in mind they don’t just serve crepes you can also get a salad if your trying to keep healthy. The crepes are just their specialty here so that’s why most people go with them.

Cute place in a cute district. Surrounded by «artsy» shops.
Music inside is ultra cute.

What did I order: Philly Cheese Steak Crêpe and Strawberries and Cream Crêpe.
They were both very good. The Philly Cheese Steak Crêpe wasn’t worth the $ 8.25 price tag but it was tasty. The Strawberries and Cream Crêpe was very good and I would order that again in a heartbeat.
Payment Method: Square
Drinks Unlimited?: No except water and iced tea
Speciality: Crepes
Menu (too big, not big enough, just right): Too big with not enough variations. They need to have a few staples in their menu and then have seasonal variations.
Hours: 10 – 7 on Tuesday. They should be open earlier and have breakfast crepes to go.
Music: Elevator music
Décor: Some French pictures on the walls. It was not uniform in the chairs or decorations. They had both metal frames and wood frames and metal and wood chairs. I know I’m probably nit picking here but still.
I wish they would have brought the food to our table and there to be free drink refills. Also had to bus our own dishes. I would come back only if I specifically wanted a dessert crêpe. Nothing to write home about.

I’ll start with the establishment itself. Love it. The small, homey, quaint feeling of this joint it great. The smooth jazz music playing. Soft warm colors. Small tables — a cozy atmosphere. The owners, Billy and Pryestt, are friendly and easy to chat with. Both times I’ve come here, it’s been around the lunch hour. A lot of locals come, the owners know them by name — regulars :) They are always prompt and keep things in an orderly fashion.
The first time I was here, late summer of 2014, I met a friend for lunch I had the Philly Steak Crêpe. The roast beef was tender. Provolone cheese was hot and gooey. I liked the red pepper mayo. It gave a different twist instead of the regular Heilmann’s.
The second time, (they have been open just over one year) I was running a bit ahead of schedule on a late Saturday morning, so I decided to stop in and have a dessert crêpe to hold me over till lunch. Any place that makes me feel comfortable that I can come in for just dessert ALWAYS is a positive I my book! Tried the Lavender & Lemon pancake. Yummy! Billy uses fresh squeezed lemon. She crushes up the lavender, mixes it with some sugar, and that infusion is sprinkled over the crêpe. My tastebuds LOVED the lemon — not too tart!
***I would like to add: I agree with Bryant M’s comment that this crepery is definitely not Kenny Kim’s Japanese Crêpe Cart. And, no, it doesn’t amount to Kenny’s out of this world concoctions. However, there aren’t many crêpe places in Columbus. And since I have a giant fondness for the thin pancakes, I give points to CSB for holding out.

Came here on a rainy Saturday morning and was impressed by everything about this place. We got the Lovely crêpe (Nutella banana and strawberries) and the Cajun crêpe. They were both delicious and exceeded my expectations. I was tempted to lick my plate clean. The atmosphere is also really cute and I imagine it would also be a nice place to study or read a book. Parking spaces were right outside. Can’t wait to come back!

I don’t go to Bexley very much, but that might have to change soon since I realized what I’ve been missing all these years living in/​around Clintonville.
This place is small. I wouldn’t recommend trying to come here with more than 1 or 2 other people. it’s just not set up for that.
We ordered a philly cheese steak crêpe, a s’mores crêpe, and a Nutella crêpe.
This is mostly because I didn’t have my glasses on and just picked the ones I could read.
The philly cheese steak crêpe was huge and enough for 2 people, assuming you order more than one crêpe. It was delicious. I am not a professional in anything involving a cheese steak or a crêpe, but seriously, get it.
The Nutella crêpe was amazing also. I like the option to add toppings based on your preference.
The s’ mores crêpe is a good idea in theory, and tastes pretty good, but something about marshmallow fluff in a crêpe doesn’t work for me. It tastes good… but if you apply the slightest pressure and try to cut into it, you will have an empty crêpe and a plate full of fluff.
I wish it was closer to my house so that I could fully assess the menu on a frequent basis. Otherwise it would be 5 stars. ;)

In the mood for a cozy creperie — savory and sweet? You’ve come to the right place. Next door to the Drexel theater in Bexley, this family-​run business is a great addition to the neighborhood. I would recommend the turkey/goat’s cheese/​berry compote as a savory choice. On the sweet side of the menu, I’d suggest the lemon/​lavender crêpe — or the dark chocolate/​coconut/​walnut/​banana. Yum.
All in all, a lovely treat, before or after a movie — or any time at all. Except Sundays. They’re closed (for now) on Sundays…

Crepes aren’t just for breakfast anymore… I was hesitant to try this place because I’m not much for sweet breakfast foods, but I was ignorant about crepes… you can have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!
I had the caprese crêpe, my husband had the monte cristo (imho, would have been much better w/​o powdered sugar), and we split the tropical delight (if I remember correctly — bananas, coconut, and dark cholocate ~ a little too sweet for my taste.
All were great… I look forward to trying more on the menu.
And the staff… SO very friendly. It appears to be family owned, which is awesome.

I’m always thrilled when a local business moves into my ‘hood, Bexley, and C’est Si Bön did not disappoint!
Susan R and I decided to check out CSB together for lunch the day after they opened. They definitely have a few kinks to work out, but these are the type of people you wanna root for! The owners are some of the loveliest people who genuinely love their business, and I can’t wait to see what all they do with their new Bexley location.
–Here’s what I’m loving–
* Service — Top notch awesomeness here
* Interior — Super cute and clean… in a tiny package!
* Prices — Talk about a deal! Most crepes are between $ 6 – 9
* Hours — I can get breakfast, lunch, or dinner here!
–Here’s what’s good, but could be *great*-
* The crepes — Don’t get me wrong, they’re definitely good — but I think they could be a smidge better. Here are some suggestions:
— More bold flavor combinations — They’re pretty safe right now. Sometimes you want safe, but sometimes you want a little crazy. Maybe I just have a void left from Kenny Kim’s Japanese crepes.
— Higher quality ingredients — I may be totally off base here, but I felt like the ingredients were pretty average. If you’re going to have safe flavors, then they need to be the best ingredients possible.
— Cooking the crepes longer — Both of our crepes came out lukewarm and barely melted. This is an easy fix!
I know I harped a bit on the crepes, but that’s because I want these guys to stick around — and I genuinely want them to succeed! Bexley needs more places with tons of heart like C’est Si Bön.
