I first visited Crepas Cuichi for my birthday brunch. I am a huge fan of crepes so I was looking forward to trying out this place. The restaurant itself has cute decor and gives an antique vibe. The service is spot on. Our server was friendly and polite. We asked for recommendations and she offered a few of her favorites. We ordered hot drinks. I ordered a chai latte. It was beautifully decorated. My only complaint was I wished it would be served hotter as it was lukewarm. I also ordered the strawberry crepe. It was delicious with a bonus of a small scoop of ice cream. My family member ordered the avocado toast with egg and she said it was very good. We will definitely return. read more

Absolutely loved the Oak Park location, everything was great. We also tried one of their signature crepes Culichi Chocolate, of which I highly recommend. Breakfast chilaquiles were very good and the conchas were very soft and tasty, they paired perfect with the coffee. Family really enjoyed it and we will be back for more. read more

First, I want to say my service was fine. My server was kind and checked in just once. But he was nice and generally fairly quick. My issue comes in many steps. First, they charge $4.00 for a fountain drink that is not refillable. One single Diet Coke in a water goblet filled with ice and an ice stir stick. This is nowhere on the menu. It was not mentioned. I didn't discover this until I asked for a refill, my server nodded and I said no ice, since my drink was SO much ice. He kind of grimaced and I said "it is free refills right?" And he shook his head no. Absurd. I asked the Manager on the way out to perhaps add this to the menu, $4.00 a glass for fountain soda is a lot and no mention seems like it would be free refills? A latte is barely a dollar more and a specialty drink, obviously no refill. He said no, gestures around and says "look where you are" I continued to push that the price is a bit high and misleading. He said the server should have told me, he didn't. I said they definitely need to make this more obvious because I wanted two Diet Cokes. I would have asked for a specialty drink around $8 if I knew that's the price the fountain beverages would be. The manager seems to believe because the place is very Instagram friendly with photos, they can get away with it? Ridiculous. Next. The table is chipped, the chairs are uncomfortable and wobbly. If you're going to care so much about ambiance maybe walk the walk? Food was meh. We got the Foccacia and the house panini. Decent sized sandwiches. The side of pasta is bizarre. Cold tricolor rotini with shaker parmesan on it. That's it. It's not a pasta salad but not also a pasta? No options to substitute on the menu. The food was fine, honestly nothing memorable. My sandwich was both cold and hot, bland and had two strips of green pepper on it. Just feels like they want to be on Instagram more than anything and have influencers here. We won't be back, especially after how defensive and rude the manager was. Plus there is a 3% convenience charge on the bill that also was not noted anywhere on the menu or mentioned. read more

The place is very aesthetic, however the food was ok, nothing impressive and regular coffee was over priced considering that there is no refill. I also went with my 9 month baby and had a stroller, they did not allow me to keep my stroller inside the premises and was told I had to leave it outside the establishment (out of sight) and was told they were not responsible for my stroller. Won't be coming again. read more

Not the usual place I would stop to grab a brunch but the decor really drew in my daughter so I figured let's just try some crapes. Once I reviewed the menu and started to look around it was evident this place was legit an amazing spot for all sorts of Mexican style brunch items. Not only was everything made fresh and tasted cafe de Olla was amazing out of this world experience. read more

Definitely not as kid friendly as I had assumed based on those milkshake pictures (I mean there's a cotton candy milkshake with glitter and a Winnie the Pooh wafer. If that's not for little kids, who is it for??). But there's no kid menu--no crayons, no kid portions--and they had SVU playing on the TV behind the bar, lol. This was all fine, just unexpected based on the yelp reviews. That said my 6yo was THRILLED with her adult-sized chocolate crepe. And our drinks were great! I had a guava mezcalarita (Well-made! Not too sweet!) and my husband had an old fashioned, which came with a whole smoking train on a cart. I think I'd come back here on a date to split a sweet crepe and have a few drinks read more

Cafe con leche and the butter cookies they accompany it with is ridiculous. And that's said in such a positive way. Not since Paris France have, I tasted butter cookies that rivaled the highest chefs. I was sincerely humbled, and I had to tell them how I enjoyed the butter cookies. It also took me to my childhood of butter cookies in school. Although I do have that recipe, the thought that they actually made it taste like my childhood really set off the taste bud alert. You will not be disappointed at the sheer simplicity of the cookie (looks can be deceiving) but the complex taste is what gets you. I also had a cafe con leche and it was really balanced out in taste. How do you say DIVINE! The staff also was very sweet and although it was a busy day, I was still given attention, and that means something, as some of the customers were being rude to the bartender. So, the fact that she balanced, rude customers and able to smile throughout the ordeal says a lot about her and his customer service. And that's why a nice tip was in order. I think you all will enjoy the flavors they bring so give them a try! And remember, the cookies were just an offering with the cafe' so it was a nice surprise. Our bartender gave us extra, and that's how good they were. Not sure if its a menu item as we came here for cocktails, so the cookies won me over. And it was his last day at this spot. He was telling us how he would be going down the block to another restaurant/bar. But I won't mention that spot here. read more

Service was amazing super sweet. Very calming loved that it was classy and girly. The food was super good but definitely recommend on maybe getting something sweet and salty to even it out. Will definitely come back in the future! read more

I went this Monday with 2 friends. This isn't my first time there. My bill was 160 ish which makes sense. Over all if I had to rate my food a sold 3/10 people go there more for the aesthetic, but if I'm spending that much money, the food should be better I ordered a snowball mimosa which was $14 and the waiter just threw the cotton candy ball in there. It wasn't cute it was it pretty It wasn't aesthetic whatsoever which kind of pissed me off when it came time to pay the check I paid in cash. I gave 170 ish. The waiter said do you want any change as a waitress this was honestly a really bad way to go about it. Obviously I wanted my change and would've tipped her what was appropriate but because of this I felt like it was kind of rude and off putting. I let her keep it, honestly for how much everything was and how the service was I will not being going back. read more

I love this restaurant. I have been there twice and can't wait to go back. Nice relaxing atmosphere with excellent wait staff. The food is amazing. You always feel like it's a special event when you order a drink there, even when it's just an afternoon of catching up with old friends. My grandsons have been there with their parents and always want to go back for their milkshakes! read more

I am no expert at crepes but I have had a share of them them in other countries and in the city of Chicago, and I have tasted better crepes with more varieties than at this place. Needless to say I was disappointed. The food was ok, not out of this world great. The service was also just ok or if I may a bit less than that. Not sure if it's the fact that I came with very high expectations but it was not as excellent as I thought it would be. This place is average with a whimsical decor and very expensive. I think you pay more for the location than for the actual quality of good and service. There are not that many varieties of crepes. All the savory crepes are spicy with the exception of the veggie one. There are no special accommodations if you one one without the spice, they also do not let you try a bit of the sauce to see if you will be ok with the level of heat of the dish. I have had this accommodation at other places. The sweet crepes were ok but nothing out exceptional or unique. The charcuterie board was good and cute but it needed more crackers or bread, it came with only 4-5 crackers. The charcuterie board was an appetizer that was brought to our table after we got our crepes, when we finally got someone's attention about it. Nobody apologize for their mistake. The drinks were good, strong but again not unique. The service was ok, the servers were not as attentive as in other restaurants, they were having drinks at the bar while chatting with the bartender and among themselves, about their personal lives, it was a bit hard to get their attention about anything. Moreover, there is a surcharge if you pay with credit card that, nobody explains this to you unless you ask! When I finally got the attention of our server, he said in a defensive but polite manner that it wasn't him, it was the restaurant's surcharge. I have been in other restaurants that charge this and they have clear signs at the entrance or on the menu about it. I do not mind paying the surcharge, I just thought not telling the customers about it was a bit sneaky. If they didn't disclose this, what else they do not disclose? The decor was whimsical, I felt as if I was at a Disney restaurant but with not so attentive servers and not that great of a menu. This is a pricey restaurant for the quality of food and service you get. In addition, you are to pay the charge of the credit card yourself and they don't let you know unless you ask. Overall this place is ok, not fantastic. Not sure I will be back. I say, give it a try if you want but lower your expectations and be prepared to pay big bucks for average food, drinks, and service. Oak Park and the surrounding areas offer better variety of great food and great service for a lot less. I hope the feedback helps this restaurant review what they are doing to improve their menu and service. I do know rent in Oak Park in a prime location is high perhaps they should re-think the way they do business. read more

Went to the restaurant with a lot of expectations on a busy Friday night and was disappointed. Drinks were ok. Veggie crepes was missing some sauce and pizza was too nothing to rave about. Not sure if I would go back again. read more

Crepas Culichi - Creperies Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

Cute place - interior is decorated so pretty. The food and drinks are pricey, but they look really good. They have assortments of crepes (sweet and savory while also just sweet). They have other food items on the menu that are not crepe. We come here as a treat as the price is on more on the expensive side. Service is decent - not a long wait for food and they are friendly. Would be a good place for a girls' night out or just catching up with friends/family. read more

The aesthetic of the restaurant was really cute! The food was good and drinks were also pretty good. The only complaint I would have is that service could be quicker especially since you have a 90 minute time limit. The tables are pretty small but overall my experience was good! read more

Wanted to try something different and was suggested we try this place. Food was delicious and light. Interesting decor as well. Lots to look at while waiting for our food. Our server was polite and very nice. My favorites were the honey oat latte and the pistachio crepe. read more

Do not recommend if you are alone. I often dine alone and I am amazed that many places expect me to be a bad customer. I was given the worst table in the place even though it wasn't crowded. I ordered an app (crab cake - very good) and a hamburger (mystery meat - not fresh). I got the app and the entree at the same time. On giant plates. At my tiny table in the back. I expected the crab cake first. The the burger. read more

Our first time here and we are very happy with everything. The food is delicious. My wife ordered crab cakes and she says that is the best crab cake in Chicago area, even better than the one in Chicago Cut I got a panini sandwich. Big, warm and tasty The service is great. The place is so cute. Clean, spotless. 5 stars read more

So I've read many of these reviews. Sure. I'm sure when it's busy the service may be slower, just like any restaurant on Earth. Our servers were hospitable, kind and prompt. These were by far some of the best crepes I've ever had! Wow! And the Hot Chocolate maybe the second best I ever had as well! This is appointment eating! The chicken tinga was on point and absolutely savory as advertised. The only drawback was it was a bit cold inside but it was -10 outside so... Highly recommend this place IF you enjoy quality tasting food. read more

Crepas Culichi - What we ordered - Creperies Near Me - Oak Park, Illinois

We went to eat here after all the hype on social media. We were a party of 3 that ordered the poblano crepas, shrimp crepas and focaccia sándwich as well as 3 lattes. The food was decent however the food portions are very small. We all left feeling hungry still. The drink portions are also small and there are no refills. The bill came out to $88 or so not including the tip. So my suggestion is if you are very hungry, go elsewhere. You will feel cheated. The decor is nice though. read more

I ended up tagging along with my wife for her monthly Saturday brunch and book club that she usually has with the neighborhood ladies at Crepas Culichi. I really enjoyed my eggs benedict! I also ended up ordering a mimosa (don't tell the wife) and thought it was pretty tasty too. The ladies didn't mind that I dropped by for a quick bite while they discussed this month's book: "Lucy By The Sea." The conversation seemed pretty riveting, and June ended up giving the book a glowing review. I've never seen her so ecstatic over a book before. read more

Friend and I were shopping around downtown Oak Park while our husbands were touring Frank Lloyd Wright homes. We needed a little nosh, so we stopped here. It's adorable! Even dining outside, it's very classy and quaint, with marble topped tables. All of the dinnerware is very European and pretty. We had her doggie along and it was a beautiful day, so we ate outside. Just a great ambiance! The food was delicious! We both were in the mood for savory, so we each enjoyed the Poblana Crepe--so good! Our husbands were done with their tour a couple of hours later, and were very thirsty, so we stopped here again, for iced teas and a Caprese platter. So good! The little touches were so sweet, such as having a little nosh for Fido on the menu, and the pretty little jewelry boxes that they put your receipt in. Services both times today were excellent, with two different waiters. Highly recommended, and if I'm going back to Oak Park again, I will eat here! read more

Beautifully decorated, outstanding service. The Guava crepe is so good but next time I'll skip the ice cream on top. Delicious cafe con leche and pistachio latte but they're not generously sized, in fact they're quite small and barely warm. I'll ask for extra hot next time. I'll definitely revisit though because I love the French Parisian feel, the outstanding service, and I must try the other items on the menu. read more

Unusual, unusual, unusual. So many chandeleers. The most excessive milkshake you have ever experienced. And some of the worst service I have ever experienced. Food was delivered piece meal. Random stuff would show up from time to time. After the last of the food was delivered we had no more attention from wait staff. When we needed something like a spoon we would go find some staff person to give it to us. I will never go back. read more

The service was horrible! Waitress came to ask for our drinks, we got them around 11am and then she stopped coming to our table. Another waiter come to ask me if we were ready for dessert at 11:30. Then that's when they noticed we never had our order taken. Mind you it wasn't busy at all. We got our food around 12pm. Then the original waitress came and acted like nothing was wrong!! No apology or anything. Overall horrible service. read more

The service sucks, food was tasteless. Very blend and would not go back. The design is the only thing that is interesting. Especially the bathroom it is the best part of the place. Surprising but it is a fail. They need to add favor and be inspired when it comes to making their menu. The price is too high for what you are getting. read more

Llegamos a desayunar mi hijo y yo, había bastantes mesas desocupadas, sin embargo la chica que atiende nos dijo que no tenia nada disponible y que tal vez solo tenía una sección donde había unas mesas súper chicas y dijimos esta bien. Al sentarnos deje mi cartera al lado de la mesa y veo que algo se mueve y era una cucaracha que estaba bastante grande y le dije a un busboy que mirara y solo quedó viendo como que que hago. Le di me Servilleta para que la matara y eso hizo. Le dije a mi hijo que nos fuéramos pero ya habíamos pedido cafe. Sin embargo les pedí que si nos podían mover a otra mesa, y volvemos al mismo tema, según no habían disponibles cuando había muchas desocupadas. Nos movimos de mesa esperando que la mesera se acercara y tardo mucho en traernos el café y la comida. La hostess solo se nos quedaba viendo de muy mala gana. Digo para pagar $60dls por unos chilaquiles y café, donde ni el dueño y/o manager no hizo por acercarse a disculparse por la cucaracha que estaba en mi mesa. Es una lástima que ese lugar donde me encantaba ir vaya de mal en peor read more

Beautiful dining room and fantastic service. It was Super Bowl Sunday so I understand why they had the game on, but I think I would have rather had music on, because otherwise it's a great date spot. The food is good, not great, and a bit overpriced. I got the shrimp crepe, which was a single crepe topped with shrimp, not inside. It cost $25. The shrimp were tasty but the crepe itself was mediocre. Cozy corner, across the street, has better crepes for half the price, and you get three in one order, not just one. My fiancé got a chicken tinga crepe which was tasty, but again, mediocre crepe, and when I ate it, I just wished it was a taco instead. My cocktail was good, but cost a lot for about three sips worth. I would visit again for a special occasion but I think there are some growing pains that have to happen there. read more

Lovely fall day. Ate outside. Service was good. Drinks were pretty and good. But I had no idea what I was eating. Not crazy at all about the French Mexican fusion. Crepes weren't great and they were folded with the protein et al spooned on top rather than filling the crepes. Everything ate very dry. It was a great day, the food was not. read more
