Creme De La Crepe

This place is located in a high traffic area so parking can be hard to find. If you’re unable to find street parking, there are parking structures/lots available for a flat price. The restaurant is rather small with various seating options and in addition to that, there’s outdoor seating as well. No shade available on a sunny day so do keep that in mind. Our party was a party of 10, 8 adult and 2 children. Since there’s limited seating, our only option was outdoor seating. Service is rather slow. We asked for highchairs twice and water at least 3 times. We didn’t get water initially because they forgot, then they ran out of clean glass, and we didn’t get our water until we were basically done with our meal. I got a panini and it came with a side of salad and sliced potato and cheese squa

We spent the night downtown, waiting on our cruise and walk the two blocks over to this quaint little restaurant based on great reviews. This is a great mom and pop café with even better service. They were friendly and quick to get our drinks and help us ordering. I had the omelette which was cooked perfectly and seasoned even better. My wife had the French Benedict and raved about it. You can tell that they use fresh ingredients and nothing is warmed up. It all came out piping hot. I saved enough room to try the fruit crêpe and I’m so glad I did. That was one of the best crêpes I’ve ever had in my life.

😄 Liked: * A tempting menu with many options * The lamb sausage pattie adding extra flavour to a rich, creamy French Benedict with melted Brie, a poached egg with its liquid yolk and tangy salad * An excellent choice of crepes, both savoury and sweet * Attentive service and fast turnaround * Warm tones and casual decor 😞 We were hoping for: • The authentic European Hot Chocolate so thick that you have to dig with a spoon. The server had no idea what we meant when we asked if it was the thick hot chocolate and despite her reassurance, what we received was the watery version with a lot of sugar. 🔎 We were in the area needing a quick bite and the food option was satisfying, but we would definitely look elsewhere for the real hot chocolate.

Always looking for a layover breakfast that isn’t fast food or overly fancy and this restaurant fit the bill. Not too busy on a Monday at 10am so service was friendly and quick. I opted for the Switzerland Buckwheat Crepe and it was just right. Price was inline with what I expect in SoCal. I’ll definitely return on future Long Beach layovers.

The fruit crepe was very good, came out quickly and the service was also excellent. It’s a shame it’s such a small venue as I got the last table and it was quite close to the door, but other than that I can’t fault it. It would be nice if they opened a little earlier than 8am, but that mostly personal preference and being up early in the morning!
