"In heaven, everything is fine" The lady in the radiator song from Eraserhead, (later covered by the Pixies), is the perfect song encapsulating the feeling of eating a crêpe from La Crêpery Boheme. They have a plethora of options both sweet and savoury but my money is on the squash crepe with pesto ,feta, fresh greens and more. Bringing elation to my soul I savour every delicious bite and it feels damn fine. Great flavour combinations and quality ingredients. As far as I know they are only available at the farmers markets, and the lineups are usually quite long in the summer at Trout Lake but you can luck out at the winter market at Nat Bailey stadium (like I did today), and only a few people were in line ahead of us. P.s. It's also a really good sign when a random stranger asks you where they can procure such fine eats after seeing the wrap in your hand. read more

La Bohème - Squash, feta, pesto crepe - Food Stands Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Important notes - where this food stand can be found: La Boheme makes the rounds through the summer. -Portobello West (the last Sunday of every month) -Trout Lake Farmers Market (Saturday's) -Kitsilano Farmers Market (Sunday's) How much do I wish that Vancouver was a city full of food carts (not just hot dog stands!) Today, hanging out at Portobello West and getting peckish, I caved to the crave of crepes. Cranberry and brie with salad and a tangy vinegrette, it was easy to mow down on the whole, slightly messy, thing! I was torn with so many choices--fig and jam; garlicy eggplant and roasted red peppers just to name 2 of their 2 chalkboards full of goodness. Blasting "musique au Francais" (*this could be spelled wrong-haha) in his purpley-pink psychedelic van with 3 crepe pans a sizzling - it's definitely a high-class gourmet-food-stand experience! read more

La Bohème - La Boheme Food Cart at Portobello West, Vancouver, BC - Food Stands Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I wasn't sure whether I should give this a 4 or a 5 star... It's a 4.5 for me I think. But seeing as this was my first crepe here, I think I'll have to go back again and reassess! Granted, I did eat my crepe cold. When I got it was pipin' hot, but I wanted to save it for lunch when I arrived at work (Saturday OT). THE SERVICE was great! I loved watching them make the crepes right in front of me, and the ladies seemed happy and very keen to please their customers. I asked for mine without cheese, and the lady making my crepe offered more tomatoes in replacement of the cheese. I was VERY pleased at this, since this is a rarity anywhere in Vancouver. It seems most places are skimpy when it comes to special requests such as this. Not La Boheme! Your crepe will be served cheerfully just as you asked. THE FOOD, as I stated above, was cold by the time I got to it (no surprise, I had to trek about a half hour before I could eat it). Although it wasn't hot like when I received it, the crepe was plump with all the tasty ingredients shoved in it. Everything tasted lovely and fresh. It was a tad salty from the artichoke hearts, but not overly so. It was also VERY filling, so I'd suggest definitely coming here for a later breakfast- as you'll be hungry enough to gobble every bit of this monster crepe up. I gave this 4 stars because I didn't find the crepe "OH MAH GAWD THIS IS THE BEST THING EVAARR", but it was very good. Next time I think I'll have the squash one... while it's still hot! I would recommend this place to anyone though, it seems like it has a nice variety of choices. I didn't see a disappointed face in sight either, so that's got to mean something ;) read more

See all

This is a food truck, so don't plan to go to the address listed on this site. You can find them at various farmer's markets and food truck days around Vancouver and the surrounding cities. I've been going to La Boheme for 10 years, since I arrived in Vancouver. I have seen the seasons of my life pass with them, and it's been such a delight to see the passing of this business from one generation to the next. The crepes are buckwheat and they offer a wide variety of fresh and organic fillings, from savoury to sweet, and they are super accommodating if you have a dietary need or preference. The crepes are generally huge, not like your typical thinly filled ones-- filled with fresh greens, fruit, or cheeses. I understand why they have to make the crepes in advance (time), but that's the only reason I would give it less than stars. Atmosphere: Fun, sexy, and lives up to it's name- it is bohemian feeling. The food truck is a sight to see! It's a little gypsy caravan of one! Service: Wonderful! They're kind, accommodating, and friendly. Price: $4-12, with most coming in at around $9 read more

Came across this place at the Kitsilano Farmer's Market. Good smells and long lines seemed like a sign I should give these crepes a try. They ended up being ok. I ordered the Quebecoise. I think they went a little too light on the maple syrup, I could barely taste it. Maybe in a bite here and there, out of the whole crepe- there wasn't as much sweetness as I was hoping. What I mostly tasted the bechamel, cheese and apple compote, and the ham used also didn't have very much flavour (I tried a small piece by itself to be sure). The actual crepe was acceptable. Service was good. So it's still decent overall but it definitely didn't take me back to Montreal. read more

My French is not the best, but I'm pretty such their name translates to edible heaven. La Bohême Crêperie is a purple food cart that appears at the farmers market, and I whole heartedly believe the proprietor is a culinary genius. I say that with a straight face, and I am grateful for the gift he shares because I can put it in my stomach. About two dozen crepes are available to choose from, with the menu changing depending on what is in harvest. Here are some examples: La Cheve - Moroccan olives, goat cheese, caramelized onions, greens on a buckwheat crepe with la bechamel. Seasonal berries - berries of the moment dancing with lemon-honey ricotta on a buckwheat crepe. Let me put in context how amazing this food is: It's January and I'm talking about food that I eat at the farmers market in the summer. Yes it's that good. Editors note: I wrote this for the Trout Lake Farmers market and since found out La Bohême Crêperie has (deserving) it's own yelp listing. Yay to double dipping great food reviews! read more

Way, way, before people in Vancouver became enamoured with Food Trucks, La Bohéme was serving up top-notch crepes from their awesome little trailer at the Trout Lake farmers market. Even though there are many other food choices at the market now, the queue is still a minimum of 20 people on an average morning. It's worth the wait! In general, I go for the savoury buckwheat crepes. The two classics that I've stuck with over the years are Chevre and L'Artiche, though their new pesto+brie combo is also delicious. Most of the ingredients come from the farmers market, so they're always really fresh and well worth the ~$8 cost. Pro tips: Bike to the market (the area has super limited parking) and wear sunscreen (you'll be in line for at least 15 mins). read more

Simply based on their nutella and ricotta crepe, this gets about 784548 stars. It is one of the BEST things I've ever eaten (and I really love food). The ricotta adds an amazing texture, and offsets the sweetness of the nutella. Their other crepes are delicious as well. So many fantastic combinations of fillings to choose from. There really is something for everyone. Be prepared to line-up......but trust me, you will not be disappointed. read more

Walked into their setup at the Van Dusen plant sale. They had quite a line but I was served fast. I ordered the sugar and butter classic crepe for $3. It was pretty good, the buckwheat was nice but they add something else to the batter for extra flavour. When I asked about it, they said it's a secret ingredient. Whatever it was, it sure worked. read more

"Yummy yummy yummy, I've got crêpes in my tummy...." THAT is the song I was singing this morning as I tucked into my first La Bohême crêpe of the summer Trout Lake farmers market season. The folks at La Bohême Crêperie use the best, most flavourful locally-sourced ingredients and encase them in a delicious buckwheat crêpe. This morning I had the ham and cheese (with béchamel, tomatoes and parsley) and my husband had the nutella and ricotta cheese. They were both delicious! Their prices are very reasonable ($4-$8 per crêpe), especially considering they are so filling. I have yet to be able to finish one! The only reason I knocked off a star is because I'm not sure I'm 100% sold on the buckwheat batter. It's perfect for those with gluten sensitivities, but I'm partial to the more traditional crêpe batter. But don't get me wrong -these bad boys are great. If you don't arrive early to the market, expect to wait in a long lineup. But even when your stomach is growling at you and you're thinking of leaving the line, just remember: there's a reason people are waiting this long -it's worth it. read more

Pros - the food is amazing - the people are so nice - i get to eat here almost every time I am at work -choices -price cons - just the wait, its kinda long but its not too bad so its not a huge con also @Sofia C, they kind of have to make the crepes ahead of time because they get so busy and this is the only way to avoid making people wait 1hr or more. read more

Visited this place at the Trout Lake Farmers Market. Had a blueberry, lemon ricotta, and honey crepe. There wasn't much lemon or honey taste because the blueberries were so overpowering. For $6.50, my crepe was STUFFED with blueberries. Probably $5-6 worth of it...$15 worth if you get your fruit from Whole Foods. Totally worth it. Service was quick, unlike all other foodtrucks. Will return! read more

After reading some amazing reviews I just had to try it! I am a sucker for crepes. Everything was great, the gypsy cabin, the French music, the friendly owners with French accent, food combinations looked titillating, everything... Except for CREPES. They were PRE-MADE, and I don't know how long they were sitting there... For 15 minutes? 45? Since early morning? Maybe it's me, but I like my crepes fried FRESH, breathing out life and all the wonderful ingredients that were put in and combined with... It's such a delicate matter to fry crepe batter! Even lousy Cafe Crepe makes 'em fresh! When I saw them taking out premade crepes, I felt a tinge of disappointment, which was confirmed by my taste buds later. Mine was pretty hard and stale... Although, once again, the combination of ingredients (homemade fig jam & ricotta) was a great idea. I don't know why they waste such amazing ingredients on stale crepes... Alas, I'm giving this joint 2 stars. Wonderful idea, but poor execution. Maybe they got lazy, eh? Too bad... read more

Food safe alert! I went to the Nat Bailey Farmer's market and noticed people ordering crepes from the food truck. I ordered a buckwheat crepe from a young woman and paid with cash. There was a total of three people working and I thought she was the only one handling the cash. This was not the case. The staff there would take orders and cash and would make the crepes as well. No gloves! I should've said something but I didn't. My friends and I were shocked though. It would be simple enough to use gloves when cooking and to take them off when handling cash. The food was good but I will not order from them again unless they improve on safely handling food. read more

Best crepes ever!! We are vegetarians and can only comment on veggie options. I prefer sweet crepes with fruit and my husband likes the savoury buckwheat crepes; La Boheme has something for everyone! read more

At around $9 each for the savory crepes, and $5 for the sweet, these crepes are definitely priced a lot higher than it takes to make them. However, the fillings are scrumptious, and not skimpy. They have a really good selection of vegetarian options. I can say the ones I had were not too salty, not too greasy. However, we found the sweet butter and sugar lemon crepes too be too sweet - you could see the crystallized sugar bits. Note that the majority of the fillings are locally sourced. The young ladies working there, were very friendly, and handled the long line up pretty well. I would give it a higher rating if the crepes were priced a little lower! read more

I really wish I had frequented this food truck during the summer months - if only it weren't for my lack of patience waiting in line. But, I finally got the chance this past weekend and boy, have I missed out all those months. The crepes and all the delicious fillings that come with it are just simply sublime. Didn't take long either to prepare it so now I'm thinking I could've easily lined up for these babies. Wish this truck came around my work place 'cause I would eat out more on my lunch break. BUT, I look forward to eating these healthy crepes in the winter markets in December so it's not all that bad for me. read more
