    A hidden gem that I'm glad I stumbled upon. After eating a lot of delicious grilled food at Grill City and wandering over to all the bakeries in the shopping center, I was about to settle on some fine pastries with ube, but decided to check out the last dessert place I Yelped. I almost didn't find it as it was hidden on the side of the shopping center without the most obvious sign. Fortunately, our group didn't let the plain sign deceive us as the inside of this restaurant is actually quite colorful and nicely decorated! Given the reasonable prices, we also figured we could get a small dessert and avoid the food / sugar coma later. We were also lucky that we were wrong in this regard as well! The iced latte here is quite good, better than the Starbucks I had the day before and well balanced in terms of creaminess and strength (without being too bitter). This satisfied my coffee craving pretty well. The family banana split on the other hand... is something I'm still dreaming about days later. Given the extremely reasonable price, it was a huge surprise when it was served in a giant bowl with 5 very generous scoops of ice cream (all different flavors), with two oreos, 6 pocky sticks, and bananas all around the side and bottom! Fortunately, this wasn't just a work of art -- the dish is as delicious as it looks. Now that I've had an opportunity to check out pictures from other Yelpers, it's quite exciting to see that every dessert they make is a work of art and very generously sized. I can't wait to come back and slowly try everything on their menu :) Overall, super delicious mix between art and flavor with incredibly good prices. I would make a special trip to enjoy the desserts here, even from the suburbs!

    Walked into a small crepe bar, the decor is very juvenile with rainbows, balloons and childish decor. The crepes were delish, tender and plenty of fresh fruit.

    We stopped in here for crepes on our way to another event, and weren't sure how much time to allow, but as it ended up it was perfect. Parking was easy in the adjacent lot, and service was quick and friendly. We were greeted extremely by the woman at the counter. She was warm and welcoming, and seemed genuinely glad we'd found them when I told her it was our first time there. We chatted about how they'd opened not too long before the pandemic, and I could tell just from this short exchange that she valued her customers. I ordered the Turkey crepe, which also had ham, bacon, and cheese. It was nicely full of all of these ingredients, and the cucumber and cherry tomato garnishes were a nice addition to the side of red pepper paste. My husband had the breakfast crepe, minus cheese, and said his was also very good. My smoothie was delicious, and came garnished with a large strawberry and a paper umbrella -- fun! My husband had one of the teas, which came piping hot, so he saved most of it to drink later after it had cooled off We'll definitely be back, and I can't wait to try a sweet crepe the next time!

    We came here for brunch on Fourth of July weekend and had a great experience! I ordered the strawberry banana crepe with euro cream and my husband ordered the queen berry crepe also with euro creme. The euro cream is like a mixed vanilla and chocolate cream, very tasty! Service was great, the employees here were all super friendly. Can't wait to come back!

    I stopped in for the first time today with a friend before walking to labagh around the corner, the gentleman behind the counter was welcoming and other patrons seemed very friendly. We got one savory, the house style crepe and one sweet crepe, the banana and strawberry with nutella. my goodness, they were amazing and well prepared, it did take a bit of time so i would build in leisure time and it is absolutely worth it! im looking forward to enjoying the cute small cafe and food again soon :))

    So cute!

    Hidden gem! So glad we tried this place out. Generous portions and the food was all delish and fresh. I had an iced caramel macchiato and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too sweet, tasted like a real macchiato, not fake stuff! The sweet and savory dishes were approved by young and old. The owner was also super friendly and explained everything to us so patiently as it was our first time here. Will definitely be back.

    Stopped in the other day after grocery shopping with my mom. I was hoping for a juice or something without caffeine. They mostly have coffee but in their refrigerator they have an assortment of different canned and bottled beverages. I ended up buying a carbonated IZZE. I wish I was hungry enough for a crepe because they looked delicious. No indoor seating right now but there is a patio. The staff was nice and there was hand sanitizer inside for customers.

    Very small place. The crepes were delicious, but a little pricey. The atmosphere doesn't match the food quality and price. It isn't dirty, but doesn't feel clean. Hard to explain that, but you'll understand if you visit. The crepes are worth trying. I ordered the queen berry, and it was delicious. Fruit was fresh and crepe was done properly.

    Hello my Foodzies, we tried a new place, Crepe house cafe at 5033 n Elston Ave. in Chicago. It's a small order and eat place with what could be a kids art studio, plastic tables and chairs. The menu is hung from the ceiling with many options all the crepes are hand made per order. The menu was both sweet and savory and included different coffees, teas and shakes options. The owner was very nice, our order taker was friendly and knowledgeable. Glenda had the ground beef crepe, the meat wasn't seasoned very well, the crepe was light and fluffy. I elected to go with the breakfast crepe, it was stuffed with turkey, bacon, mushrooms, 3 cheeses, tomato and 2 eggs. It was filling but also under seasoned. The saving grace was the eggplant and cucumber sauce. That mixed with the crepe tasted awesome. I give this restaurant 3 stars, try it yourself and let me know what you think. Ciao Ciao for now.

    Crepes anyone? As you know I have a weakness for crepes and this place did not disappoint. The crepes were perfectly moist and gorgeous. The menu is inventive see Pic. Had the kit kat. It was too sweet for me but that doesn't take away from the quality and the presentation. I decided to try this place because of Zee and Nash. They run the place and were very warm and welcoming.

    This place honestly never disappoints. It's my go-to crepe place in Chicago and has a great menu including sweet and savoury crepes, waffles, ice cream and hot/cold coffee and drinks. Great seating options as well indoor and outdoor. Love their Nutella alternative as well -- Euro Cream. It's very creamy and leaves a nice texture in your mouth. Can't wait to go back!

    Yummy!! This place is perfect for take out crepes on these chilly mornings. I took my kids to try something new. It was a hit! We tried three kinds and loved every bite. The owner is as sweet as her creations and her dedication shows in the shop. This is a don't miss stop!

So...not sure the food is good. I just happen to think the attitude is a little worse. Came with a group and someone in our party ordered the French Onion Soup and then a Croque Monsieur. No one else in our group ordered a starter. What's weird is for some reason they decided to course the soup with everyone's mains. Normal restaurants, including like....your local suburban Chile's, know not to do that but this place thought that was normal. So already, my friend is a course behind everyone because they didn't serve his starter first. What's worse is when he finishes his soup...he doesn't get his main. We actually FINISH our mains and he still hasn't gotten his. He makes a comment VERY NICELY to our waitress like hey! Just wanted to check on my meal! She responds, "all our meals are timed perfectly." What!! My buddy goes, "Okay...I've just been waiting for 15/20 minutes so I think I'm ready for my sandwich." She responds, "okay....let me alert the kitchen." Wait? You didn't even tell them he needed his meal?? We wait another 15 minutes. We flag the waitress again and ask where his meal is and she responds "everything is made to order so the kitchen needs some time." Okay. This is a Croque Monsieur. Are you....rising bread right now? What is happening? So I get frustrated and jump into this and say, "Ya but we've been waiting over 30 minutes for his main. We've all finished so now you're asking my friend to eat alone." She responds, "everything is served hot so what is the problem??" !! I get annoyed because up until this moment, we've been pretty nice. But this waitress not acknowledging any issue or trying to make it better and talking back to us like this is weird. So I just say, "Bring a manager over." Well...it didn't matter. This lady learned her attitude from somewhere and it was probably from the manager. The manager immediately is on the offense like, "you ordered a soup and we wanted you to have the soup hot. And we want your next meal to be hot. We make everything fresh and we clean our dishes in between." The heck? All we want is for my friend to be able to eat his main. So I say, now rudely, "just bring the food. We have waited 30 minutes now. Everyone is done with their meal. If you haven't made it, cancel the order and we'll go somewhere else." She responds, "we usually serve the starter first. If you didn't like that, then don't order a starter." SERIOUSLY!? What is happening!? I think about telling her that USUALLY even if only 1 person has ordered a starter, that gets served first before EVERYONE gets their mains TOGETHER. Instead I say, "listen, cancel the order or give us the food but we aren't waiting any longer." And she goes, "we can't cancel it. The kitchen has been working on it." So I say "this better be home baked bread because they've been working on it for 45 minutes by now." IT STILL takes another 5 minutes to get this meal. It is cold. It is an average Croque Monsieur. And they probably all spit in it. At the very end, the waitress comes over and says, "I see what you mean and there were coursing issues but we take pride in our food and we weren't going to degrade that so we could serve you faster." This place literally lives up to a Parisian stereotype, I guess.

    My go to spot every time I'm in Chicago!…read more We love everything about this store and the specials they offer. When you arrive, it looks like a grocery store/food stalls with product specials right inside. It's always something different but great deals! On the first floor is check out and an area to grab quick bites including pizza, fresh sandwiches, and gelato. We always head upstairs to the grocery and wine area - there are also more food stalls and a restaurant. Our favorite is the fresh bread and then charcuterie section. This is a must stop in Chicago!

    We have never been here before and saw they offered a summer Fridays tasting event. The event…read moreitself I wouldn't recommend - they give you tiny sample portions of preselected items on paper hotdog containers. Considering this place is supposed to have some class, we were pretty appalled that they seemed to do the bare minimum for this event. I felt very deceived by how this event was advertised online vs in real life. It seems they intentionally left out details and was marketed as five tastings at five counters, but we receieved barely a sample at each sation. The website said 1. house made pasta - you have one option and it was three bites, no vegetarian option 2. roman-style pizza - only thing I won't complain about although still a small portion 3. Curated drink from Caffe Lavazza - this was a dixie cup portion of a blended Frappuccino 4. house made pastry - they gave you the option of literal bite sized dessert, not a whole pastry 5. the artisanal salumi and formaggi - pathetic, literally 1 piece of meat, three pieces of the same type of cheeses, three olives, and dry stale crackers. Honestly for what they offer this was a slap in the face and from a consumer perspective Eataly's attempt at a summer money making scheme. I would find it hard to believe anyone who rave about this event, in fact I imagine most left very underwhelmed and still hungry. Eataly itself might be a great experience but we did not have the opportunity. We enjoyed the spritz drinks we ordered for their $9 summer special but this event did not make me want to return at all. It unfortunately dangled everything they could have offered in front of us, but then gave us the lowest tier. Driving in traffic to do this was not worth the time, gas, parking or inconvenience and the best part of our city night was when we stepped out of Eataly.

Sparta featured chicken, feta, spinach, tomatoes & mushrooms. Ahh. Berliners must like turkey, provolone, tomatoes and avocado... also amazing.
