This casual creperie/diner could use some improvements. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. No wifi, but they do have beer, wine and bloody mary's! Score. Pick your poison: sweet and savory crepes, sandwiches, burgers, soup, salads and so on. I opted for a gluten free savory crepe and as you can see, I wasn't impressed. The crepe menu itself I personally didn't love. There was not one reminiscent of a French crepe: ham, cheese, maybe with a fried egg on top. Simple, yet classic. They were all loaded with ton of ingredients and had peanut sauce, pesto, philly cheesesteak and so on. In the end, I still went with a crepe since I mean, Crepvine, guys. At $13, it was a ton of food. I however, really didn't enjoy my crepe. I went with the California - bell peppers, avocado, cheese, tomatoes and sour cream -- sounds good right? It was chunky. I love chunky peanut butter, but chunky crepes, not so much. Maybe the peppers could have been diced, rather than largely chopped. Breaking into the crepe, the peppers just flooded out. There was also nothing keep the insides together. This signature crepe needed something else to bind it together. The crepe itself was flavorless and sadly, left me disappointed. The crepe does come with a large side salad and french fries, but sadly, I'd prefer less food and more quality. read more

Delicious Greek and Tuscan crepe and fresh salads. We all enjoyed our meal here and the service was friendly and fast. My wife had the fish tacos with Cesar salad and home potatoes, and absolutely loved it! We enjoyed eating outside in the protected outside area. Felt very safe here. Also had the best chai latte ever. read more

Very tasty meal! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the food came out super quickly. My friend got the Florentine and added avocado and I got the New Orleans Benedict which is made with a crab cake instead of a Canadian ham slice. The portions are very large so come hungry! Also they go above and beyond by bringing a bottle of hand sanitizer to the table for you to use which I thought was very nice of them to provide. read more

Let me say this first: Safari Cooler - ask for a sample before you order. It's not everyone's cup of tea so don't join in the bandwagon to fall rite off. I visited around brunch time on a Saturday morning. It wasn't too busy and they did have good seating (possibly because their crammed in a lot of tables and chairs). BUT I did like their crepe. What did I get? Oh, I can't remember... and my picture doesn't really give a clue of what it was either. The potatoes were good. Yep... Three stars. read more

I don't normally like leaving reviews, but this meal made me so sad I felt like I had to. I used to love this crepevine, partially because they had tasty food, and partially because they had huge portions for relatively cheap. Well, I came in today to discover that's changed. It's the first time I've been in a while, and the menu (and the great prices) have both changed. I paid $50 (after tip) for two meals, a mocha, and a black coffee. My partner got the Petaluma and was okay with it, but it was nothing special, especially for approx $17 (I don't remember the exact price). I, on the other hand, got their El Baron Burger for $18.50. It was listed has having grilled red onions, mushrooms, avocado, an option of breads, etc., and when I went up, the cashier asked how I wanted the meat cooked--medium rare--and I was actually excited. It came out, and the portions are still huge, lots of fries and a large side salad, and they brought me a side of ranch I requested (although they forgot at first). Let's start with the positives... The fries are phenomenal. I'm a sucked for beer-battered fries, and these were the perfect combo of thick-cut and beer-battered to fulfill any craving, plus there were enough that I probably could have just eaten the fries and been satisfied. Second positive, good ranch. I can't really say more than that it was thick, flavorful, and the perfect combo with the fries. Third positive--great service. The people at Crepevine are and always have been great. So on to the cons... This is quite possibly the worst burger I've ever had, including friend and family BBQs. Let's go in order. I got it with sourdough. It came on pieces of toasted bread that didn't taste like sourdough. There were indeed grilled onions, but they weren't what you think of as grilled onions. They were barely cooked to softness, let alone caramelized the way you think of as grilled onions. The avocado was, well, an avocado. It was sliced relatively thick and laid on in such a way that it was like half an avocado laid diagonally on a burger--but it wasn't exactly ripe. Maybe I'm just not as big an avocado fan as other people, but having thick pieces of avocado on half your burger with none anywhere else just isn't great. The patty itself wasn't remotely medium-rare. No pink whatsoever, no flavor, and just in general not great. Finally, my biggest issue with the burger: It was completely dry. Because of the oppings and lack of sauce, it legitimately felt like my mouth was getting drier as I ate. I've never had a burger that bothered me this much with its dryness. The dryness was compounded by the fact that the side salad was also completely dry, even though it's supposed to have a vin. When it showed up, I had assumed that it just had a light dressing I hadn't noticed, but nope, totally free of anything, even just oil and vinegar. So, long story short, dry burger, dry salad, meh eggs, and great fries, at high prices even for Berkeley. While I would be totally willing to pay a higher price for the large portions, they've raised the prices higher than plenty of local restaurants or gastropubs while lowering their quality. I might come back just for the fries ($7 on their own), but I highly doubt I'll be back for an actual meal. read more

Excellent brunch food, always. Obviously they're known for their crepes, both sweet and savory, but their scrambles and omelettes are also excellent. Nice ingredients, great flavors, and quite large portions. Plus their coffees/lattes/mochas/espressos are also excellent! read more

Came in with my new food buddy around 10pm after she was done with her finals at UC Berkeley. My first visit to Crepevine was in Palo Alto and is my favorite location. There's nothing better than walking into an empty restaurant, placing your order, and having your food brought to your table withing minutes. Everything on the menu is good. Between $8 and $10 which is a reasonable price. Well spent money that will leave you with left overs because the portions are huge. I'm just not to sure about the location this one is in. Wish it was in a nicer area. Parking may be an issue especially during the day. read more

I came here twice. The first time... I got some savory crepe, but it was two years ago so I don't remember much... I just remember having a hard time deciding what to order because a lot of items on the menu appealed to me... Today, I came with a friend around noon, and I ordered Bari (fetuccine with fresh salmon, spinach and parmesan cream sauce $9.50), while she got french toast. My pasta sauce was too thick/heavy/creamy, so I couldn't finish all of it... I felt too full/unhealthy to even pack the remainder in a to go box as well... I tried some of my friend's french toast, and I didn't really like it because it was pretty plain. I like how we can sit outside! Service is great, but if you sit outside, then you might not get as much attention as you would if you were sitting inside. Food came out really fast too! read more

Review update: After a string of bad experiences at Crepevine, I am demoting it to one star. And you should listen to me because I am Yelp's Duke of this place (most check ins). I eat here because it's very close to where I live. In terms of food quality, for being in the world-famous Gourmet Ghetto, it's below average to average. What really bothers me is the consistently poor table service. The waiters and waitresses can be very careless and inattentive. The problem is that you pay at the counter BEFORE you sit down. It feels like once the wait staff rings you up and has received their tip, they don't give hoot about you. Once scenario to illustrate: I came in on a Saturday night and the place had just 3 guests (not uncommon) and TWO waitresses. I pay for a chicken Caesar salad and leave a generous tip as usual, hoping that that would motivate her (and as a sign of appreciation, of course) 15 minutes later, I get a salad without chicken. I wave her over to politely explain the mistake and she gladly rings me up for the added chicken and sends the order to the cook. Then she disappears behind the counter for something like 20 minutes while I wonder where the chicken is, as I don't want to start eating the salad without it. Long story short it turned out that the chicken was just sitting on the counter that whole time waiting to be served. It was almost cold by the time the OTHER waitress noticed it just sitting there on the counter and brings it over to me. There is just no excuse for such poor and inattentive service in a restaurant with just 3 customers and 2 waitresses. That kind of service drives customers away and is why I am never going to this restaurant again. I surrender my crown. For better food and professional service which delights customers, got to nearby Tiger Lily or Taste of the Himalayas. Crepevine does not live up the reputation of the Gourmet Ghetto and does not belong here. read more

Hi, I had an awful experience last Friday. I ordered the Blackstone Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was horrid. I couldn't eat it because not only was the consistency disgusting and made me question how old it was but it hardly tasted like anything. I get that good hollandaise sauce isn't an easy thing to master but I figured if it's on the daily board of options, that you guys would have it covered. I was so hungry so did my best to eat it without the sauce but it was super disappointing. At least the potatoes were good. I'd like a refund. read more

This place is a very fancy crepe restaurant! The servers are super nice here, and so are the cashiers. I came here with some college friends for lunch after class, and we all got savory crepes. I got the San Francisco crepe, which had smoked salmon in it. Smoked salmon was really good!! But I feel like I would have liked the crepe better if there was better sauce. And less potatoes. I couldn't finish it all :( read more

One of the few places in Berkeley which opens early in the morning to a relatively later time at night. It is known for crepes, which I ordered to-go once. I had the Tuscan crepe to-go, and found it to be really big in portions! I was unable to finish my fries after. The second time I was here, I ordered the Denver omelet, which was more surprising. (: My friend ordered the crabcakes, which was also really good for the price. The service here is really good. The employees are really nice, and the service is fast. read more

Great place to go for breakfast or lunch with a group. No splitting the check or figuring out who owes what. Everyone orders at the counter and your food is brought to your table. They have a huge selection of omelettes, Benedict's, crepes, and sandwiches. They also have huevos rancheros and pancakes. Every appetite can be satisfied here. The other day we ate there and my daughters weren't very hungry so they ordered parfaits and hot cocoa. Yum. Service is sometimes a miss. Coffee cups run dry, no one checks to see if you're doing okay... but all in all, I like the place. read more

I've probably ate here about 10 times but I never tried the sweet Crepes! I was always stopped by what seemed like an endless menu of savory Crepes and sandwiches! And not to mention the scrambles!! Those are so on point for a brunch delight! I really like the San Francisco crepe ( I think that's what it's called!). It has a nice smoked salmon with capers (one of my favorite combo). The Crepes are paired with a small side of salad or fries, making the meal extra fulfilling! The salads are always dressed to perfection even if it's just a simple green salad. And if you get the French fries, well you're in heaven then! The sandwich I picked up was the Big sur and it was delicious! I am very picky about my sandwiches but this one passed the test. The meat was cooked perfectly and it wasn't dried at all. I would recommend you try it! This place also offers outdoor seatings! A nice option for you to enjoy a nice day out. read more

I wouldn't say Crepevine makes the best crepes I've ever had, but I definitely appreciate their options and sides, both of which outstrip any other crepe place I've ever been to. As far as quality goes, it's pretty consistent, and I like the no-hassle ordering system of ordering first, taking a number, and seating yourself. I also like how spacious and clean this particular location is. The tables are always nicely wiped down, the condiments on each table are always full and in order, and the big windows let in plenty of light. Blackstone Eggs Benedict with roasted potatoes: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crepevine-berkeley?selected=EKviJe3GrQpXidMUyWjsDQ#vz1qoWLpg90mQwE9aEAhxg) I'd actually never noticed that they had Eggs Benedict here before, so I was pleasantly surprised. The price is pretty reasonable for the portion, although I really wished this came with a side of salad like the crepes as well. The roasted potatoes were good, and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The hollandaise sauce was a little bland, and the cayenne pepper on top didn't really taste like anything, but overall, this was one of the better Eggs Benedicts I've had. California Crepe with roasted potatoes and side salad, dressing on the side: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/crepevine-berkeley?selected=EKviJe3GrQpXidMUyWjsDQ#Uv_t4QeGYgZanSh9ribtQQ) The roasted bell peppers, avocado, and cheddar in this crepe really complemented each other well. It was flavorful and light, and the addition of the chopped tomato on top was really refreshing. I always ask for less cheese because that can tend to overwhelm the other flavors. I was also a fan of the roasted potatoes and fresh spring greens, a great balance to each other. I'm not a huge fan of their vinaigrette, but a little bit sprinkled over the salad gives a nice bite. Crepevine is always a nice place for a casual brunch, and I'll probably be stopping here again soon. read more

I rank this restaurant as -10. The food was fresh but totally absent of taste (both the savory disk and the sweet dish). This would have been acceptable for a hungry student but totally unacceptable with an $80 bill! The chicken apple sausage was not cooked but put into a crepe with unseasoned eggs. The home fries were so burnt, they were black on the bottom and then hidden is the greens which were masquerading as a salad. The place only had 3 customers and NOW I know why. Who in their right mind would ever come back. What a total rip off! The CrepeVine need to inform the public of what their stick is - vegan, or just no seasoning - pick one! The only worthwhile purchases were the fresh squeezed orange juice and the coffee. Of course these item do not make a meal. I left somewhat full, but severly dissatisfied. read more

Located in not too far from Cheeseboard Pizza in the Gourmet Ghetto part of Berkeley, Crepevine's a place where you can grab a coffee and dessert and relax with friends. The interior is warmly lit and the service is pretty good. My review's limited to the crepes and coffee but I see they offer quite a bit of different bites. A coffee and crepe for 2 goes for around $30 so it's a little pricier than you'd imagine. When I think crepe and coffee, I'm thinking $20. I tried the Jamaican Crepe which is a crepe with bananas and a rum like syrup. Not bad but very heavy. All in all, this establishment is ok and did the job. The quality is reasonable but not spectacular though I did like the service here. Although this place is average, I'd come here again if I were craving crepes and was in the neighborhood. read more

An awesome place! I was trying to find a good cafe in Berkeley since my arrival in this city a year ago. After visiting dozens, I thought that the only option is to dine in famous food chains since the local ones are extremely bad. Then I found out about Crepevine, which really amazed me. The food is delicious, the service is awesome! Crepevine I believe has very competitive prices and it works not only by providing big portions of food but also on the quality and uniqueness of its taste. After visiting there a few times, we received free deserts for them, being thanked to dine in there continuously. That is one of their faces of "customer care". I definitely recommend everyone visit there once, and assure you that will not be the last one! read more

I've been a longtime customer and just wanted to say thank you to Luis. We had unusual circumstances at his restaurant and he handled the situation with generosity and grace.

We were immediately met by a door greeter when we walked in for a Saturday brunch. We were asked how many were in our party and she began working on securing a table as she instructed us to stand in line to place our order at the counter. For those familiar with Crepevine's menu, you will see it hovering above you on the wall like a giant billboard written in multi-color chalk. Once our orders were placed, the same greeter directed us to a nearby table where I set down the number tag to designate where to bring our order. Quick and efficient, just like how I like my casual meals. As for the dish I ordered, I went with The Milano(savory eggplant crepe) which included a side salad and grilled potatoes(standard for their savory crepes dishes). This entree much like the many others I have tried over the years at different Crepevine locations was solid, but not spectacular in any way. With their $2 price hike(in the past year or so), this is not the value it used to be. Not a bad option if your'e looking for a quick brunch spot. read more

I went to CrepeVine for a President's Day brunch! The location is cute and cozy - like a coffee shop! I ordered the Egg-Ceptional Petaluma. The egg was scrambled and had spinach along with mushrooms and sausages embedded with cheese! I liked how the texture was soft and wasn't overly cooked or crunchy. Also, the home potatoes were nicely cooked with a small crunch for the smaller pieces~ the portion was out of this world! It was gigantic! I had leftovers and it still tasted good after eating it. Overall, it was a good meal but some parts felt a tad bit lacking as I had to add some condiments (ie ketchup, tabasco sauce and some pepper) to help elevate the natural flavors. Pro- tip: I came here prior to the brunch/afternoon rush. There were so many people after I ordered. Perhaps come before 10am if you want a nice brunch or after lunch time. read more

Crepevine Restaurants - Egg-Ceptional PETALUMA - New American Near Me - Berkeley, California

I love everything I've tried here. I've been here several times. You walk in, seat yourself, and order at the counter. They bring the food out to you. The food is on the pricier side, as expected since the restaurant sits in the gourmet ghetto, but the portions are super filling. I've tried the Jamaican sweet crepe, the San Francisco savory crepe, the Cote D' Azur eggs benedict, and bites from my friends' other crepes. Everything is so good. The savory crepes come with a side of salad and potatoes, which I think balances everything out really well. I even ordered a side of their home potatoes once and didn't expect them to bring me out a huuuuge plate of potatoes. The side was a meal in itself. The eggs benedict here were yummy, but pretty standard eggs benedict. I was really happy that they made the eggs benedict for dinner too, not a lot of places do that. The Jamaican crepe is my favorite thing from Crepevine. I always want to try something new when I come here, but I can't make myself not order the Jamaican because its so tasty. The crepe itself has bananas, caramel rum sauce, and a side of whip cream and ice cream. If you love yourself, go try this crepe. Also a quirk I noticed is that they serve their water with a small orange slice instead of lemon, which made the water taste unusual, in a good way. I would recommend this place if you want a nice breakfast-y meal anytime of the day, or want a yummy dessert (please try the Jamaican sweet crepe). read more

More typical brunch places serve heavy food that makes you feel groggy afterwards, but Crepevine feels more casual and more light. I think the best way to do it is to share a savory crepe + a dessert crepe with someone, but there's also other savory options if you don't want to overload on crepes. A nice well rounded meal. read more
