    This is located in the Irvington area of Fremont . Nice place for brunch / breakfast with ample parking . Service is great. They got us seated immediately and brought the menu . The have one nice equipment which has option to pay , call the service once you are ready to order which I found very interesting . They have lots of crepe option , both savory and sweet . Some of them are marked spicy . I ordered the Maui Hawaii savory crepe which was mild spicy and my friend ordered Rarotonga which was nice as well . You get one side dish with your savory crepe for which I ordered Greek salad and my friend got the pasta . Both of them were really delicious. We also ordered the espresso brownie cake crepe which was really good and had Nutella chocolate spread on it . I will surely come back here .

    Excellent service. Maria (the lady who helped me ) and other staffs were awesome. I loved their food and overall ambiance was also great.

    After passing by on a morning walk I decided to stop by here on my way home. The staff here are extremely friendly and professional, it was very refreshing and welcoming. I decided to sit in their outdoor area while the sun was still out. I was so amazed by the different food/drink options and after seeing food pass by to another table I was very intrigued. I am a sucker for infused water so I was immediately happy when I saw them bring water to our table. I ordered a carrot juice which was very good and true to taste, the club house sandwich and the super crepes. It was by far one of the best sandwiches I've had in a really long time, the fried egg is one of my favorites on a sandwich. I've always had sweet crepes in the past but never a savory one until today. Those will now be the go to crepes from now on, it was so delicious. The portion size was very generous as well. They had a QR code to scan to order or even physical copies of menus along with a button you can press for ordering and paying. I will definitely be back and plan to tell everyone I know (:

    Chill brunch place, menu is fairly large, too many options! Quick service, good food & good portions. Price is good for the amount/quality!

    Veggie Spicy Crepe and Mixed Berries Crepe
    Bryan T.

    Came here for brunch. Ordered a savory Spicy Veggie Crepe and a sweet Mixed Berries Crepe. The crepes here are excellent. The Spicy Veggie Crepe was a little sweet and spicy, with pineapples mixed in with the veggie and the sweet chili sauce. The sweet chili sauce used was very good. I wish there was more variety with the fruit side (organs and more pinnacle), but otherwise can't complain. The Mixed Berries Crepe was nice as well. I wish I had asked for it to come out later instead of at the same time as the savory crepe since all sweet crepes come with ice cream, so I felt a little rushed to finish up before the ice cream melted.

    AIX-En-Provence

    Crepes for a meal is definitely an unique concept. My wife and I came by and the decor inside is a little off? The furniture used inside resembles more towards a look you would typically find in countries from Asia. I wasn't able to make the connection between them to Frodo Joe. Lord of the Rings anyone? After we sat, I ordered the AIX-En-Provence (Half & Half) and my wife got the Classic crepe. Both dishes come with a side of your choice. I chose the fruit while she chose the salad. The meal crepes were delicious and the portion is decent for you to be full. Surprised? I know right. The waitresses were friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. I left thinking this restaurant is a wonderful concept for a meal. With minimal competition like it, this owner is really smart. An area of improvement would be to deck it in some type of Euro or even American furniture. It'll definitely spice the restaurant more and attract even more customers. If you're a lover of crepes, this one is for you. The option is plentiful and they have sandwiches also. I didn't see anyone get a sandwich so a pro advice is to stick to what they're known for.

    Fresh Strawberries Crepe

    Great service! No wait on a Sunday morning. Got the Ben-To Crepe, super savory and good with the pasta salad. Added some cholula for some extra kick! Strawberries crepe was super good and not too sweet. We asked for the Nutella on the side. Would definitely come back again and try other crepes!

    Santa Cruz Crepe with Pasta Salad
    Leah A.

    Visited on a rainy Tuesday afternoon during the Holidays. It was busy for a weekday. Staff was incredibly efficient and seated us right away. We ordered using the QR code menu. I had the Santa Cruz crepe. The roasted garlic was delicious. The cook on the crepe was great, perfectly crispy at the edges. Even though they were so busy, they took time and care to give us latte art with our drinks. Staff checked in often and were very attentive. One member noticed our table was a little shaky and offered to move us to a different table. I ordered the toffee coffee with almond milk, decalf and it was so nice. I was excited decalf was an available customization and that they offer many milk options. I appreciated the tiny bits of toffee waiting for me at the bottom of my mug. A little holiday treat.

    Spicy veggie Crepe (1/5 stars for being edible)
    Erin K.

    I'm going to be honest... I am not a fan. I came on a Friday morning and there was plenty of seating. We were greeted right away. After looking on the menu and becoming overwhelmed with the options, I went with the spicy veggie crepe because I saw some positive reviews of it on yelp. It was pretty bad. Like... I hate food waste and always clean my plate but I could not eat all of these crepe. The fillings were sparse but maybe that's a good thing because they did not go together at all. Sundried tomatoes, pineapples, cheese, and mushrooms??? Admittedly, I did not read the descriptions of the crepe. I just saw the reviews were positive on yelp and went with it. Huge mistake. The sundried tomatoes were clumped together in one part of the crepe, there were two mushroom slices and then these giant chunks of pineapple. There was also this spicy sauce that was not very good or complementary with the rest of the crepe. I'm not sure if I got the dud crepe or what but I'll probably never come again.

    Good breakfast place with great variety of crepes. We were treated very nicely by the entire staff here and it was a nice place to visit inside or sit outside.

    Bacon and avocado crepe
    Thuyvi M.

    The last time I tried Frodos was many years ago when I worked in Fremont. Glad the place is still around. Came back during lunch today and was seated right away. I ordered a bacon and avocado crepe with Greek salad. Also a ice mocha with soy. Food came out fairly quick and crepe was nicely crispy and hot. The bacon was very crispy and the pesto sauce went well with it. It was a little too cheesy for me with the mozzarella but overall a good lunch. Greek salad paired well with a balsamic dressing. The ice mocha wasn't too sweet but needed more ice since it was room temperature. The decor of the restaurant is cute and gave me a Thai vibe. I've always been a fan of Frodos so glad quality and service hasn't changed.

    Strawberries and Banana Crepe
    Munib K.

    Crepes for a Sunday brunch? Always a good idea. We stumbled upon Frodo Joe's Petite Café and were honestly a bit unsure about going in--it was surprisingly quiet for a Sunday afternoon. But we decided to give it a shot, and I'm so glad we did. The menu has a great variety of crepes--savory, sweet, and even vegetarian options. I tried the Ben-to Crepe and it was seriously delicious. The flavors were spot on, and the portion was just right. The dessert crepes are also fully customizable, which is always a win if you're picky or just want to get creative. The staff was super accommodating and friendly, which made the experience even better. It's one of those hidden gems that surprises you in the best way. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and craving a good crepe.

    The Thinker encounter in the nice clean bathroom lol.
    Jin H.

    Cozy cafe vibe, mostly older customers for some reason, Friendly, attentive, and thoughtful service, (their timing!). Very inventive crepes. You can customize them however you want. HUGE portion, i was thinking it would be about snack portion but it was a full blown meal lol. Very fresh ingredients and fruits, perfectly ripe. We will be back to try rest of the menu, 10/10 would recommend

This is my family's favorite Thai restaurant and we have been going for years. The only bad part is how salty all of the dishes are. It will definitely make you want to chug glasses of waters after eating here. Nonetheless, the flavor of the dishes are always consistent and packed with deliciousness. I recommend trying this place if you are in the Fremont area.

    A Fantastic Family Brunch Spot in Downtown Pleasanton!…read more Tucked away on a charming side street just off Main Street, Le Palais Sucré is an absolute gem. We stopped by around noon on a Saturday and were thrilled to be seated immediately--which is a massive win for a weekend! Despite getting a table right away, the place had a great energy and was filled with people enjoying their brunch. They have plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. The food and drinks completely delivered: * The Chocolate Bonus: My son ordered this, and it was a showstopper. A chocolate crêpe packed with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella, then topped with chocolate syrup and powdered sugar. This was hands-down one of the best crêpes we have ever tasted--absolutely heavenly! * Chorizo Omelette: My wife and I shared this, and it was divine. It was served perfectly warm, cheesy, and loaded with spicy pork chorizo, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. * Mushroom Galette: Our second shared item was a savory buckwheat crêpe filled with mozzarella, sautéed mushrooms, and red onions, all topped with a gorgeous sunny-side-up egg. Another really good, flavorful dish. * Ham & Eggs: Ordered by my daughter, this came with a side of home potatoes and garlic toast. It was a solid, decent option that rounded out the table well. The Drinks & Service We ordered a Vanilla Latte and a Caramel Latte. Both arrived extra hot and featured some beautiful art on the foam. The vanilla latte in particular was exceptional--honestly one of the best we've ever had. To top off a wonderful meal, our waitress, Jocelyn, was incredibly nice and attentive throughout our visit. I definitely recommend Le Palais Sucré if you're looking for a fantastic spot for a family brunch or lunch. We will absolutely be back!

My husband and daughter had vanilla lattes and lemonade with their breakfast bacon sandwich and salad. My daughter wanted to go there again today. (Posting a day later). The ambiance was very nice. I had never been to this downtown area. We were across the street from a really cute historic gas station. Great seating for people watching and enjoying the warming heat of summer on the patio.

Squeezed into the corner of this mall generally dominated by the grocery store and surrounded by small businesses, Lucy's Crepes is yet another brick and mortar that the community has embraced. This unassuming cafe/bistro has a range of menu items to satisfy every meal from breakfast and lunch to a midafternoon snack or early dinner. We came in for an early evening supper and were pleasantly surprised to try some dishes and flavors new to us! Seating is somewhat limited to small to medium sized groups but they do have a few small tables for those looking to dine in. The place is quant; it's decorated with artwork (some for sale) and mismatched furniture. Should you decide to get takeout, it's just as good given that the food travel well. Their collection of savory crepes had some interesting flavor and texture profiles while calling back to some traditional dishes of the owner's cultural background. The crepes were all cut into small bite sized portions, making sharing a breeze. In addition to their standard menu illuminated up top on the screens, they also had specials or limited time items offered and written on a chalkboard near the register. They also have some small desserts and pastries if you're just looking to pair something with a coffee as you camp out and work here with their complimentary WiFi. Pacific Ocean - this savory crepes was packed with a cured salmon that was pickled in a reddish hue giving it a fabulous color and taste. The protein rich dish was delicious and filling. Garlic chicken pesto - a spinach loaded savory crepe with thick pieces of chicken breast gives this dish a hearty feel. The inclusion of all the necessary food groups combined together in a pesto sauce makes this a complete dish to satisfy hunger, nutrient deficiency, and flavor cravings. Garden - a healthy, vegetarian crepe packed with juicy mashed eggplant, tomatoes and olives. The slight acidity of this dish opened my appetite. Chicken mushroom blini - a thin crepe wrapped around a medley of chicken and mushroom. Served with sour cream, this was a light dish packed with flavor and protein. Stuffed cabbage rolls - off the special menu, these little dumplings wrapped and braised in cabbage were delicious and juicy. A traditional dish served in a decorative clay-like pot gives its the aesthetics before biting into the meaty fun-sized morsels. The staff were super friendly and showed genuine interest in satisfying their customers. The food was prepared diligently, made with consistent quality, and tasted great. We had a chance to catch up with Lucy before she left for the day and gave our thanks for such a wonderful meal. Overall, Lucy's Crepes may not wow you in terms of presentation, but they shine where it counts - the quality of ingredients, flavors, and service will easily keep you coming back. Prices are reasonable for the value as each dish is plenty filling enough and definitely shareable. Being in central Fremont, it's convenient to get to and perfect for those of us constantly on the go, but also serves as a nice pit stop in between destinations. If you're in the mood for some classic, traditional flavors cooked with the care of a mom and pop, make your way to this gem and you may start calling it home!
