If you like pesto: Tuscany Crepes. They have gluten free crepes, though I wouldn’t suggest for someone who has celiac to try it because they don’t have gluten contamination in control.

Portion sizes are huge. Crepes are sub-standard. I had a Denver Omelette and, for dessert, a Siena Crêpe. The omelette was fantastic. The egg was fluffy, indicating a well-mixed egg. It was massive, filled to just under exploding with ham, peppers, cheese, and onions. The onions were caramelized. The peppers were crisp but not raw. The cheese glued everything together. Major kudos for the omelette. Unfortunately, the restaurant’s namesake, the crêpe fell short. In terms of presentation, the crêpe was great. There were no tears nor any lumps, indicating an expertly cooked crêpe. Unfortunately, the crêpe itself did not have the soft, light, and airy texture that I expect. To wit, I tried to eat my crêpe with a spoon and the crêpe did not cut. That is abnormal. The crêpe was also covered with crushed pistachios and served with a dollop of whip cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. While I always appreciate ice cream, I do not think the crêpe required these sides. The sweetness of the Nutella and fruit inside overpowered any flavor the whip cream or the ice cream added. The pistachios were tasteless compared to the fillings, and served only to add a bit of crunchy texture, which I found distracting from that enveloping sugary gooey mush in your mouth that yields so much of the pleasure from a sweet crêpe.

Despite so many locations in the Bay Area and living here for so long, I’ve actually never dined at a Crepevine. I came here since the bottomless mimosa brunch at The Table nearby had a 1+ hour wait. The service is very quick, but unfortunately the food was not appetizing. I ordered the New Orleans benedict and the eggs were way overdone. I cut into them with my knife and didn’t get the oozy satisfaction of my yolk drizzling over. The potatoes had too much dill and weren’t crispy enough. The menu is pretty large though, so it’s bound to have something for everyone if you’re dining with a large group.

I had dinner here on a Friday evening and it was great. The menu has variety and the Chicken Caesar Salad was excellent! eat presentation. Some of the challenges are parking which is limited on a Friday evening in the back parking structure as well as it can get quite loud when it fills up with people! The Crepes are wonderful and the staff are very good at customer service. I am convinced that you should try this eatery out and you will not be disappointed.

My favorite brunch/lunch spot. Nothing compares. They have all of the traditional breakfast plates(pancakes, omelets, etc.) but the crepes are my favorite. I usually get the California crêpe, with fries, and it comes with a yummy spring salad. I have also had lunch plates: Chicken salad, turkey club sandwiches, all great, but I come here for the crepes. Dessert crepes are just as yummy– that is if you have room after eating. The portions are large. If you feel like eating a light meal, I would suggest ordering one plate and splitting. Staff here is always nice and accommodating. I always get greeted and my water always gets refilled. The only issue here is it gets crowded and Willow Glen parking is difficult. Enjoy!

I’m a classic person, so I wanted a classic crêpe: strawberries, bananas, and nutella(the«Willow Glen»). They told me that they only had frozen strawberries, which was strange but I thought how bad could it be? Well in my experience, crepes have always been warm — that’s a part of what makes them so delicious. My crêpe came out really weird. The crêpe was warm but the strawberries were left FROZEN. What the actual f***? It was gross so my friend sent it back for me. However, the 2nd crêpe that they gave me was also bad. The strawberries were mostly still cool, not warm, and some were still cold. And it was actually more gross than how I imagined frozen strawberries, they were all mushy. Why are their frozen strawberries still an option? They should just not offer it at all and offer to give something else like raspberries if they do not have fresh strawberries. An extra star on this review because my friends enjoyed their savory crepes. But how can one possibly mess up a classic crêpe?

This is very similar to Whispers Café which I have near my house. I make the extra drive out here because I love this downtown area spot, the staff is much friendlier and of course the food tastes better!

I really like this place. Their crepes are amazing. My favorite one is the Tuscany… delicious!!! Most of their workers are very friendly. Their food doesnt take too long to come out and their sweet crepes are really good too.

Pros: friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed eggs benedict. Nicely prepared and made. Waiters/waitresses are attentive. Cons: quite a wait to place an order but it’s worth it!

Had brunch here with a couple of my friends. It was busy inside so we opt to sit outside. The system is that you first order at the counter and then you get a number and someone brings the food to you. I got the gernada salad with tofu. It came out to about $ 14 which i thought was pricey but the portions are HUGE! I ended up taking about half my salad to go. I was expecting hard plain tofu on my salad, but it was actually marinated, soft and yummy! Props to that! Usually, at other places, I get some boring cold tofu when I ask for tofu was a protein. I loved the pears, goat cheese and walnuts on my salad, and the dressing was great! However, I wish I ordered it on the side because there was a lot of dressing. My meal also came with bread, which I didn’t care for, but its there! I really did enjoy my salad, probably one of the best salads I had in a while, and I didn’t feel bad for not getting a crêpe at a place called crepevine haha. Also stole some of the BFs sweet potato fries and there were bomb! I also tried my friends mimosa and it was really good! Regretted not getting one those. I didn’t feel like there was any service. Our waiter just gave us our food and that was it. I mean, if they aren’t trying to portray themselves as anything more then its all good! Great experience and most definitely will actually try a crêpe one of these days.

Unimpressed. Four of us placed our orders and grabbed a table. Half of our table didn’t get a number for some reason so we could hear the waiters walking around, confusedly asking«where’s table 13!?» I ordered the San Francisco(smoked salmon, capers, spinach, onions, and havarti cheese) and a side of the homemade cornbread with jalapeño jelly. Sounds good, right? Wrong. The smoked salmon was dry and the entire crêpe was salty as f*ck. I’m half Filipino so don’t even get me started on our love for salt but even this was too much! The serving is generous and I ended up taking the fries home. I did get a taste of the cornbread and jalapeño jelly before packing it up and boy was it underwhelming. I’ve never had a bad experience with jalapeño jelly but this place may have ruined it for me, on top of that the bread was dry and cracking. Fortunately, my hot apple cider was enjoyable for the cold walk out and we had fun in each other’s company but that’s about all that I liked. Service was lacking, the waiter spilled fries in front of my boyfriend while setting down the gigantic plate they use. Won’t return, plenty of other places in WG to check out.

Come here a lot and am never disappointed with the Crepes. However, i wouldn’t get the spaghetti because that wasn’t very good. The crêpe selection is varied and each is good. I like the Bombay chicken the best — has a curry flavor and works well with the potatoe sides. The food portions are large, a single meal can go to sometimes 3 meals. Great value! The restaurant location is nice and open. Great service. Nice outdoor seating area gives you an option to enjoy the day. They also have Door Dash so you can order delivery.

Huge portions, and by huge I really mean Gigantic. Better off having 2 people share a plate. Restaurant was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but turnover was pretty high. Eggs Benedict was decent. Nothing spectacular but it didn’t disappoint either. I had the San Francisco crêpe and the salmon was dry and overcooked unfortunately.

While on vacation, we mostly would just go out to eat for dinner… so when we decided we wanted to go out to eat for breakfast we really wanted something good! Well Crepevine was just that!!! They have a great selection of crepes to choose from! From savory to sweet, they all sounded soooooo yummy!!! They have a great menu with a variety of sandwiches and salads too. This is an order and pay then get seated kind of place, which I like, since we were each able to pay for our own meal without having to split a bill. We were seated right away(it was a Monday morning around 9:30am). We both started with a coffee drink. My friend got plain coffee, and I got a mocha. We both enjoyed those very very much! So now to the important part… which crêpe did we get?! My friend went with the Greek crêpe(Spinach, Kalamata olives, roasted almonds, and onions with feta cheese and cucumber yogurt sauce.) And I got the Luna crêpe(Smoked chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese, avocado, and bell pepper. Topped with sour cream.) I highly recommend this one! Both were served with a small side salad and home fries or French fries. We both got the home fries which were delicious. We will be coming back here for breakfast the next time I come to visit her!

Woohoo! One more Crepevine location to check off the list. This Crepevine location is the third restaurant in the chain that I’ve had the pleasure of dining at. While here, I ordered my favorite sweet crêpe, which is the Jamaican. This is a banana rum crêpe with ice cream and whipped cream and it is delicious! It’s not too sweet and the ingredients are all fresh. The restaurant is a good size, and has plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating as well. It is definitely on par with the other Crepevine locations I have tried.

I like to come here when I’m in the mood for something on the healthier side. Order in the front and they’ll bring your meal right to your table. Prices are a bit high, however just know that portions are extremely large! I normally eat half of my plate and save the other half for a second meal. Crepes are pretty tasty and extremely filling. I always get the Tuscany which comes with chicken breast, feta cheese, mushrooms, almonds, and some other goods. I get it with their potatoes and it comes with a salad. If you’re watching your carbs, sub out the potatoes for more salad. There’s outdoor patio seating and some nice seating inside too. Parking downtown isn’t so fun during busy hours but there is a tiny parking lot very close to here, right next to Jamba Juice!

This place is great! I don’t like chains, but this might be the exception. The menu is pretty big with not only crepes served. There are savory crepes, sweet crepes, sandwiches, breakfast options(eggs, benedicts, omelettes, french toast, pancakes, etc.), pastas, and salads. The portions are HUGE, keep that in mind. One entrée is definitely enough for one person, and you will be stuffed. I got the Bombay crêpe(chicken, spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, & onions with curry sauce). I didn’t think I would like savory crepes, but this place definitely changed my mind. I’ve also had the Kyoto crêpe(marinated grilled tofu, bell peppers, shiitake mushrooms, & spinach with peanut sauce), but I like the Bombay one better. Each comes with a side of home potatoes or fries and salad, so it’s a huge portion — be warned! The benedicts look really good here, especially the New Orleans one with the spicy cajun hollandaise. The food comes out really quick, the service is simple(order & pay at the front), it’s super affordable for how big the portions are, and it’s just a great place for any meal.

This Crepevine is so quaint. I really like the seating and the open feel so it’s been a regular place my girlfriend and I visit. They have a big menu! Everything from crepes to benedicts and sandwiches to salads. Anyway, the crepes though! I’ve tried a few and on my most recent visit I got the Luna Crêpe. It’s easy to overlook on the menu board because it’s right at the bottom of the crêpe list. It was delicious and very homey. The crêpe was stuffed with chicken apple sausage, scrambled eggs, melted mozzarela cheese, bell peppers, avocado and was topped with sour cream, aka all my favorite ingredients. And the home potatoes and mixed greens are the perfect complement to the crêpe. I like Crepevine because some other crêpe places offer the choice of either a salad or potatoes, whereas here they give you both. I usually get the crepes here. The one time I did try a New Orleans Benedict, but wasn’t a fan. I wasn’t feeling the crab cakes it was served with. Maybe it was having that covered in the sauce and egg yolk was different to me. Get your crêpe on.

Got the granada salad instead of their infamous crepes(which I will try next time!) and asian chicken salad before since I was feeling«healthy.» Sweet candied walnuts sprinkled on top of deliciously fresh lettuce and arugula… and balsamic vinagrette like sauce drizzled on top… it came together and made a healthy and great lunch! Good balance of bitter and sweet… more than big enough portions and super light!(Granada). The soft thin noodles with fresh spring mix, soft moist grilled chicken pieces and sweet vinagrette… delish!(Asian chicken). Both orders are huge and come with a complimentary english muffin. Staff was extremely friendly and kept checking on us to make sure we had water and food was on par. All I can say is… great food… great vibes… great first impression!

It’s really a 3.5, but the big Diesel trucks and noisy sports cars really detract from enjoying your meal while sitting on the patio. However vehicles aside it seems like everyone wants to sit outside anyway. So they have a great place here. A very large and colorful menu on the walls and of course they have regular menu’s for a closer look. You are greeted by a friendly person where you order as you walk in. You pay up front and are given a number to put on your table. A wait person brings your meal and any drinks you have ordered. I had a really good beef dip with a salad and fries. My daughter had a nice salmon salad. Both were very good. It seemed a bit pricey, but hey it’s Willow Glen. And I did feel like it was a good value anyway.
