It’s Just Crepes

Stellar Crepes. I ordered the Southwest chipotle crêpe. Very good and extremely filling. You could easily split one between two people.

Southwestern & Chocolate Covered Strawberries: D. I’ve redeemed at least 4 punch cards!!!

I really like coming here, its like fancy comfort food. I always get the Benedict — egg, ham, cheese, spinach, tomatoes and hollandaise sauce. Amazing right? Except BAM! It’s in a crêpe that you get to hold and eat in your hand. I mean, I know that holding something and eating it isn’t that exceptional but crepes man, they are just awesome. Also, they have tubs of nutella. Not that tiny shit you get at Target or Kroger, but tubs that you could take a bath in… thats how much nutella they use. So go there, eat something with nutella on it and everything will be okay.

The food isn’t bad. But that’s about it. Service sucks. There’s one guy who is good. He’s probably the owner or at least the store manager. Everyone else is rude and act like they have better things to do.
If I ever feel like I wanted to be treated like crap as punishment for something I did, I can come here.
Also, its a crepes place. You would think they would be open earlier than 9am. Like I said, it sucks because the food isn’t bad.

Came here on a whim for lunch today. Thought I’d get a light lunch after a particularly hefty dinner last night that involved multiple burgers (*cough* Unilocal burger madness *cough*).
Guess it’s not my week to eat a normal amount of food! These crepes are MASSIVE. I’ve always thought of crepes as snacks, but not here. If you get one of the pricier savory crepes, you will be just as STUFFED by the end of your meal as your crêpe was filled with fresh veggies and meats.
I got the Spinach Artichoke. Friend opted for the Florentine. Both were exploding with the yummy ingredients. Had we known this we might not have gotten a strawberries and nutella crêpe to share… nah, who are we kidding we would’ve gotten it anyway.
My only critique is the flour base – would be awesome if they used buckwheat, not even sure if they use wheat, and the crêpe maker behind the counter didn’t know what the stuff was made of either! Hm. Also would’ve liked more cheese in mine. But overall, yummy crepes and great location on bustling Court Street. Perfect for a quick lunch.

I just takes too long to cook the ingredients and make the crêpe. They were out of several items. They had two people working there who didn’t seem very efficient and declined to answer a phone call just because they were busy making four meals. And the four of us customers came in staggered so it wasn’t even a rush.
The food tasted fine but we took our meals to go and they had to hand us our crepes in a sno-​cone cone in a bag (why not lay them flat in a box so I don’t have to carry it) and put our salads in a bag too small for them to lay flat. By the time we got them home the crepes were luke warm.
But if you still want to try it keep your eyes open, this place has a small store front.

I suffer from the ‘only order one thing off the menu’ syndrome. This isn’t a chronic disease, but it does rear its ugly head when I find a meal at a restaurant that I absolutely love and crave. Each time I visit It’s Just Crepes the syndrome is back in full force.
So what crêpe could cause me to go against my adventurous, try-​something-​new personality, you ask? Simply the best crêpe I’ve ever had: the Out of the Blue crêpe. If you are not a stinky cheese fan, stay away! But for those that don’t shy away from the delicious blue ribbon through the creamy goodness, this crêpe is for you! The blue cheese is perfectly paired with diced chicken, tomatoes and a balsamic vinaigrette. This is definitely a two-​handed crêpe, which means I have a problem savoring it because I never put it down! Be forewarned: this crêpe is not car-​friendly! (Unfortunately I learned that the hard way… lots of dripping goodness!)
For the non-​blue cheese loving folk, they have a wide variety of both sweet and savory crepes — even the pickiest eater is bound to find something delicious.
Unfortunately the restaurant part is pretty small, with tables that comfortably seat only two. But don’t worry — squeezing 4 at a table is definitely doable as long as you like each other! If you have a larger party I highly suggest grabbing some crepes and taking them outdoors to have a picnic in a nearby park or eat at an outdoor table (weather permitting).

The crepes are very good, and hearty. We each had a dinner crêpe and were going to split a dessert crêpe but were full. So they gave me a frequent customer card with all the stamps on it so I could get my crêpe the next time we come in (I had already paid for the dessert crêpe). Someone mentioned the chicken– it does seem like low-​quality chicken. But the club crêpe was very good.
One complaint that is a big turn-​off for me– the place smells really greasy. There is no ventilation system above the cooking area, so the smell permeates the entire restaurant and sticks on your clothes after you leave.

Hungry anytime of the day? Want to impress someone with a little international flair? It’s just crepes is your solution. You can pretty much design your own crêpe with anything from strawberries and nutella for breakfast (or dinner if you’re like me) to chicken with peppers for lunch. Although it’s fairly new in the grand scheme of things, this restaurant is blossoming right in the heart of Cincinnati. It has withstood the test of time as I’ve seen other establishments fall off the map, crepes just keep on keepin’ on. It’s a must if you’re on Court Street looking for some chow.

The day I found out that Crepes has a punch card was probably one of the happiest days of my life! Not only does this make me want to eat there more often, but the sheer fact that it’s so delicious and I’m rewarded for getting to eat it is so much better!
Crepes is awesome because they make it just how you want it right in front of you. You really can’t go wrong with any of their options and one crêpe is more than enough to fill you up for a meal. It’s definitely a little on the messy side, so be sure to grab a lot of napkins, and if you plan on transporting it to another location, I’d be sure to double bag it. It tends to leak through the to-​go bag.
If you’re having a hard time deciding, try the veggie crêpe and add in chicken and chipotle mayo! So good!

If you’re looking for something that’s not crepes, you’re out of luck, because it’s literally just crepes.
Until It’s Just Crepes, I totally thought of crepes as merely a breakfast or dessert option served with fruit or nutella, but not long ago I gave the Southwestern a spin and it is nothing short of fantastic.
I wish the place was a bit larger because it’s totally impossible to eat a crêpe on the go (coming to McDonald’s try… never). In the summer the problem is alleviated as there is some outdoor seating on Court Street.
I love everything I’ve ever had at this place and only wish that it would stay open later, because I’m usually too hungover to go there in the morning.

Nom Nom Nom This place is so good — they have a good variety of crepes, both as a meal and has a dessert or sweet snack. It’s perfect for lunch since the crepes are a little small.
I find myself often times ordering the Southwestern, but it’s missing just a little something something so I ask them to add Sriracha Sauce (the spicy red sauce that you always find in Japanese… I think… restaurants) — it comes out perfect. Take a look at the menu, and if you see an ingredient that you don’t like, you can sub it out for any other (I order the pizza without mushrooms and ask them to add banana peppers).
Careful with the Peanut Butter Cup Crêpe — it’s a little dry because of the Nutella & Peanut Butter.

I never thought I would be ever say this, but I love crepes! These crepes are wonderfully golden brown with a soft doughy texture. And you can get anything crêpe imaginable here. Sweet, savory, breakfast-​type — they have it all. And it they don’t, they will make it for you.
The staff was friendly and courteous and answered all my questions. They have fountain drinks and drinks for on the go. I have to admit the crêpe is a great grab and go item. But I do still like their dining room. I hear some do not, but I like minimalist design, and their style is a little bit french county with a large splash of modern.
Prices are reasonable. They use fresh ingredients, although I felt the tomatoes were a bit under-​ripe.
No doubt that I will be back. And getting my frequent crêpe card punched.

I waited two years before finally making my way to this gem, and now there are two years of my life wasted pre-​Benedict crêpe/PB&J crêpe/​Omlete crep/​Elvis Crêpe.
Do not come expecting the delicate dainty dessert crepes you may find at other restaurants that care for utensil. No, come expecting hearty, sturdy, filling, crepes, savory & sweet, that you eat while it is folded into the perfect pizza shape. Who doesn’t love pizza-​shaped food items that are arguably even more tasty.
For $ 6 – 7 (max), you will find yourself a heart meal with a savory crêpe. Sweet crepes are less filling & best split as a dessert. I’m not a fan of the vanilla crème that they’ve added to a few of the sweet, fruit crepes, but their nutella and pb&j additions to fruit/​graham crackers/​heaven are all stellar.
Come on a weekend morning, and you’ll be able to find outdoor seating. On a busy work week, the place is more filled, but the staff will still move you through the line at such rapid fire pace while still able to hold an engaging conversation, discuss crêpe fillings, and make the perfect crêpe in front of your eyes.
Don’t forget to pick up a frequent crêpe card. I may or may not have been here 3x in the past 6 days…

Just because I’ve only had crepes twice before doesn’t make the following review untrue. I am 100% sure that the best crepes in the area can be found at It’s Just Crepes!
I had yet to go to any of their locations, but when Groupon caught on to It’s Just Crepes, I finally had the violent shove needed to get my butt downtown and try it for myself.
I ordered the Pesto Turkey crêpe and my friend got the Santa Fe. It tasted like a delicious grilled sandwich, but with the thinnest most heavenly bread possible. I mean… we all eat sandwiches because of the contents, not the bread, right? These crepes just serve as vessels for shoving delicious cheesy meaty goodness into your gut. What’s not to love about that?
Next time I go (and yes, there will be a next time!) I am going to get a sweet crêpe… and I’m sure another update will follow.
It’s Just Crepes: you turned a crêpe novice (and my crêpe virgin friend) into a crêpe-​lover!

I’m not a fan of crepes because I immediately think of crepes that I had in Paris with loads of sweetness, and this particular morning before going to It’s Just Crepes, I wanted something savory and filling. I totally got that here. Let me say first that IJC service is on point. A man was super nice who worked there with recommendations and friendliness.
We had the southwestern crêpe — substituted the chicken for jalapenos and mushrooms with this delicious chipotle mayo — so freaking good and tasty. Those jalapenos were spicy. My significant other ordered the omelet one and substituted his chicken for spinach and green pepper. It was also tasty.
Prices are also on point for $ 6 for those crepes — sweet ones vary and prices can be $ 2.99+. I was stuffed with one, but plan on coming back on my next visit to Cincinnati.

Ok, crepes to go is probably not the best plan. Especially when you run late and then have to drive across the river to eat them with your husband. All that aside, we got two huge and wonderfully priced crepes. The crêpe itself got a bit chewy, but that was probably because they had been sitting in their little paper bags longer than they should have. I haven’t tried to eat in there yet, and we only got their savory crepes (that were, well, savory). Stay tuned, because you can’t keep me away from dessert crepes!
Bonus points for having punch cards and for having a huge variety of crepes. Watch out for the parking situation and budget it in your time if you are not walking.

Why are crepes so delicious? Can anyone tell me? They don’t seem to be anything special — a little flour pancake, a little butter, whatever you want to fill it with and wallah! There you have it. Nothing amazing, right?
WRONG! Crepes are angel food (I’m not sure if that’s food angels would eat or food made from angels, but either way, it’s delicious). And It’s Just Crepes gives you just what you need.
It’s a semi-​small shop in the middle of downtown that always smells delcious. You walk in and you’re hungry, even if you just ate. But then comes the big question — do you do a savory crêpe, filled with meats and cheeses and real meal foods, or do you do a sweet crêpe, which is basically a delicious dessert. Decisions, decisions.
Seriously, you can’t go wrong with either. I love the Italian Crêpe, with pepperoni and cheese and banana peppers for a meal and then the Paradise Crêpe, with Nutella and almonds, for dessert. Oh my…
The only problem with this store is it’s not really comfortable to sit and eat in. Even though it’s brightly painted, it seems to have a cold atmosphere. The seats at the tables or the stools at the wall-​bar are both uncomfortable and I just don’t enjoy being there. It might just be me, but I have seen more people order in and take out than actually stop to eat, so perhaps not.
Still, the service is excellent, the prices reasonable and the crepes? Oh yes, the crepes. Dammit, now I want one. Quick, someone find me an angel.

It’s Just Crepes deserves an upgrade. A work friend advised me that they’d improved their chicken, which I complained about below. Although it still doesn’t have much flavor, it’s now diced rather than shredded and has a more succulent texture. Because a good quarter-​to-​third of their crepes come with chicken, this improvement opens the door, to me at least, to several more crêpe choices. (Including the Florentine, which was quite good today.)
My warning about the crepes’ size still stands: It’s 1:22 pm, and I’m already getting hungry after lunch at IJC just 90 minutes ago…

Yummy crepes, lots of choices, I recommend the one with blue cheese. Ingredients taste fresh and light. I disagree with Brad W. about the crêpe’s filling one up. I find them to be satisfying and if you don’t; try out their dessert crepes, oh my goodness, they are great. If you do not work downtown, check them out on the weekend. Great place to stop either before or after shopping at Findlay Market. They have a frequent diner card, so if you eat enough, you’ll eventually get a free crêpe.
