OK CREPERIE, YOU LOST 2 STARS FROM MY PREVIOUSLY GOOD REVIEW. Behind Au Bon Pan is this shop that barely fits 10 people inside, called La Creperie. The menu is not too extensive (a simple list of savory and sweet crepes, 3 waffles and drinks), but that is easily compensated by CUSTOM ORDERING. You can ask for a combination of whatever they have available to satisfy your palate. The downside to this is that if they actually remember with accuracy what to add to your crepe, the chances are they'll burn it. Or maybe forget that you ordered a crepe completely. Or maybe they'll also be rude when you remind them about that crepe they forgot about. ...I still don't understand how this is considered "night life," since this place isn't open very late. Its hours seem to be dependent on whether or not someone shows up to work there. Sketchy sketchy ! read more

Everything in here is amazing. Even though I have only tried the Sweets side of the menu...i need to start venturing in the Savory Menu. I had the Lemon and sugar crepe...as it was recommended to me last time I went. It was good. But not a favorite. Also tried the chocolate and strawberries (the michelle) ...delicious! Love this place, will come back I gave it 3 stars for the service. Rude staff. read more

It was really good to stop here after dinner the other night. I was, shockingly, craving dessert. First and foremost, we opened the door, only to have the garbage can fall over and dump trash all over the entry. My date was a superhero and picked up the garbage instinctively (Starbucks/barista reflex: "I can do it!") -- she literally did this before I could even react. The counterman was accommodating and as a thank you for cleaning up, discounted our crêpe, rad. We had the Go Nuts. Nutella, Strawberry, Banana. A great combination, solid place. Great experience, except for garbage rocketing toward us upon opening the door. read more

La Creperie - Go Nuts! Nutella, strawberries and bananas. - Creperies Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

These crepes taste homemade.... in the mere sense that I can make identically tasting versions of all flavors within the comfortable confinements of my dorm room with a griddle. They even serve these overpriced folds on white Dixie paper plates. I didn't know I signed myself up for a backyard BBQ. I suppose if you're craving crepes, you should come here by default. It does the job; the Josephine and the Nutella & Strawberry are very standard. Otherwise, there's absolutely nothing remarkable about this place. (The only people I know who rave about La Creperie do so while inanely intoxicated.) read more

Yummy yummy yummy I got crepes in my tummy! They are so tasty and good. I think I ate 4 last time I was in there. Truly this hole in the wall place is a little slice of heaven. The one down side is there are only like 3 tables in the whole place. I'm a large man, and it's hard for me to move around this establishment when there people there because it's so tiny. I feel like my belly is touching the counter but my butt is out the door. Again I'm a very large man that can eat 4 of these amazing crepes and a milk shake during one seating. God bless this place and all the yummy food that is slowly getting me fatter. read more

This little shop located in an alley off Thayer, is a favorite of the younger crowd. Every time I've visited, there's college kids, high school kids or young couples...maybe it's a way for them to be transported to France without leaving RI. A diverse selection of savory crepes, sweet crepes, salads and wraps allow for clients to choose something of their liking. I picked a Mediterranean wrap: marinated chicken, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and dijon mustard in a white (you can get wheat) tortilla. The wrap is warmed up before being delivered to you. Nice, tasty and filling. All for about $6. Ambiance is very casual with pictures of the Eiffel tower and other Parisian sights. Paper plates, plastic cutlery and a water cooler are all part of the experience. Check it out if you are in the area. read more

One of Providence's lovely hidden gems, for sure. Been enjoying this spot for years and it hasn't changed its quality. These are the best crepes in the area (and best price!). There is a great variety of sweet and savory options to choose from. The smoothies are amazing as well. They're open late, which is a huge bonus. Beware: 1. It's small and there's little seating. Stalk tables like a vulture, or take it to go, if needed. 2. If you are over the age of 25, you may feel out of place. Just go with it. 3. The folks working the counter can be forgetful or seem aloof, but they mean well -- they're just hipsters. read more

Cute little place and my go-to for crepes. The place and staff give off an overall warm atmosphere. I have yet to try their smoothies. Only drawback to this place is that it is so small and therefore usually packed during afternoon hours. Beware if you plan to go with a large party because seating is very limited. Also be aware that other people can hear your conversations there! read more

Tried their honey and Brie crepe from their stand at the Pawtucket Farmers Market at Artisane Village. The crepe was absolute perfection! Minus one star for the rather surly attitude from one employee who was rather less than welcoming when we tried to place our order. Hope the staff is more friendly at their off Thayer location. read more

So cute! Great menu! Foods amazing and so are the drinks. Staff is very friendly and quick with orders read more

Highly recommended. Crepes are amazing, the smoothies are the best in the area. Haven't tried a wrap just yet but surely will next time I'm there. read more

I absolutely enjoyed my crêpe from here. I've tried making crêpes at home, but it's not the same. I had the Rita, which has spinach, tomato, mushroom, onion and feta. After a minimal wait, I brought my food to an outside table to eat, as the inside was packed. I didn't care that I was eating in an alley, complete with dumpsters in view. The food was still really good. read more

La Creperie - Creperies Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

One of my favorite places on Thayer Street! Quaint, small little place for some delicious crepes! They also make delicious juices! My fave Crepes are Amy and just jam!!! And love the fact they offer whole wheat crepes! Wish my neighborhood had one of these! *cash only! read more

Hubby took me to this little joint to fulfill my crepe craving. It is tucked in a side street off Thayer street where the froyo place is. I ordered the crepe with jam and brie cheese (PICK THIS ONE! you'll thank yourself later) I like that they also make smoothies here which pair well with a crepe. It's a small little spot so don't expect a vibe-y atmosphere. read more

We love this place! We were disappointed when we got there at about 11:40 thinking they were closing much later and found them already closed. I understand now that they actually were supposed to close at midnight but it was still before that. It was a shame to drive there with a pretty simple order and arrive before closing to find they were already closed. But regardless of this experience we have never been disappointed with the food. I love the crepes with just plain butter and sugar as well as the waffles. We'll definitely come back many times I'm sure read more

the man behind the counter, with the curly man bun & scrunchie was so rude. everytime the phone rang or a customer came in, eyes were rolled & attitude was given. never saw the slightest smile come across his face in the TWENTY minutes i waited for my order (2 crepes & a smoothie) i'll think twice about returning simply due to his attitude read more

I called for a pick up and this guy answered me and said I asked for a s'mores crepe and asked him do you spread the Nutella he replied back " ehhh" and I said so that's a no? He replies back " ya" then he goes do you want it? And I said okay sure and he said " come get it in 10 minutes " and immediately hinge up. I won't blame this business for this but you should really put your workers in check. We are what make you money and able to run if we post this store on all platforms and rate bad reviews no one will come. Please do something about the workers have zero energy in talking to us customers who are the REASON they have a job. read more

Really good. The staff were wonderful and friendly and did a very nice job with the crepes and the special orders. The prices were good as well. There's not a ton of seating and the whole place seemed kind of in need of a deep clean, but I'd definitely go back. read more

Small, cute shop-- good to come with one or two friends! Both sweet and savory crepes are yummy and perfect for a cheap and light lunch or hearty snack. I usually end up visiting when I'm in the area :) read more

If you want friendly service, this is not the place. The cashier had no interest in actually helping me. But the smoothie was fine.

3.5/5 It's considered $ because it is under $10, but tbh its not that cheap of a crepe or of a smoothie. I great part about this is with the menu they have, you can switch things out or add extra stuff (obviously for more $ but sometimes its worth it). My go-to's are: Nutella banana (sometimes add shredded mozzarella) Butter and sugar (sometimes add shredded mozzarella) Breakfast with mozzarella instead of cheddar, with ham and spinach Others I have tried: Choc chip banana -- meh, not satisfying at all, just go for the nutella Nutella strawberry -- this is a hit and miss because sometimes they use fresh strawberry but sometimes they used like the sweet can-like strawberry thing and I don't even know why The smoothies are pretty good in general but I can't remember if I love any of them in particular. They have different people working all the time for each day and time, so sometimes you would came upon a decent person or sometimes they are just not so nice. There were a couple of time too that we would go there before closing time and they are like "oh, we're already closed" like nothing is wrong with that... read more

Wayyyy too small inside. Old building, tight space, OK crepes. Nice flavors, but my first and only experience there was Eh. read more

The staff is friendly. However, the person making our crepes was not wearing gloves and they touched the cheese, and the cranberries. Also, I saw the same staff touch other things without washing their hands prior to making the crepe. Scary!!!! read more

You'll want to find a place to park on or around Thayer and walk here. It is a small little place serving up the absolute best crepes! They do have many options and they all sound tasty. Every time I go I think maybe I'll try something new but I always get the berry berry one. Topped with whipped cream and some powdered sugar. Yum yum!!! They have a huge jug of nice icy cold water available too! read more

I was so excited to find a crepe place in Providence. I went once and was so disgusted that the staff did not wear gloves and cut my bananas and used their hands to cut and place my strawberries. I went back again (not even sure why) and sure enough, a different staff this time, began using her hands as well. I asked her to please wear gloves and she gave me the dirtiest look and angrily continued making my crepe. Even the guy who was ringing me out was rude after that. Hopefully the manager/owner sees it and does something about it or Dept of Health. read more

Pretty standard crepe place. I've enjoyed both the sweet and savory crepes. Not sure what it's called, but they have one with spinach, Brie, and cranberries that's quite good. Aside from that, I stick to the pretty standard Nutella banana crepe. They're pretty quick and it makes for a good late night snack as they're open until midnight most nights. read more

La Creperie - Banana Nutella crepe - Creperies Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

How does this gem not have a higher rating?! I've been going here for 9 years and I swear their prices have stayed consistent, which is amazing. Their sweet and savory crepes are all great--I usually get a sweet (nutella + banana) and then a savory. The staff is friendly and they have a water cooler. A great, chill place for a quick bite. read more

The people who work there are super rude, I just wanted a quick order to go with my dog, and they used very bad attitude to ask us to go outside which is unacceptable! The moment you opened the door you felt tiny and hot, smell not nice either! Plus the rude people, it was a very bad experience and I don't recommend this place at all especially you bring your dogs with you! read more

I stumbled upon this place many many years ago. Have not regretted it since. I would stop by weekly because I use to work right down the road. Living 30 minutes away from this location, I will make it a point to come here . No other place in the Rhode Island area makes crepes well as they do. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended read more

I lost my virginity in La Creperie. In that dirty alley, I had my first crepe 14 years ago. I have, of course, had all sorts of other crepes since then. It's become an obsession. Big ones. Minuscule ones. Sophisticated ones. Dingy ones. Robust ones. Flimsy ones. Had them in Greece, Venezuela, Germany, and the Keys. I've had them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between. I've had me all sorts of crepes. And better ones, too. Yeah, we've had our problems: I broke up with it for over a year because of its silly little games. Like forgetting I placed an order. Or only placing a SINGLE chocolate chip in my Michelle [strawberry & chocolate chip] crepe. I stop by whenever I'm in town, grab the table in the corner, and remember how good we had it. It's not for everyone, but it has its endearing quirks: cheap food that isn't fast food, smoothies, waffles, small tables & chairs, newspapers other people left behind, and the opportunity to hear Johnny Cash, Metallica and Broadway showtunes in one sitting. read more

Massively overrated and thoroughly average. I'm convinced the only reason La Creperie is so popular is the confluence of proximity to Brown University, the elitist gratification of frequenting a "neighborhood" establishment in an alley off an increasingly corporate Thayer, and the "you never forget your first (crepe)" effect. While I've never had service problems and am fine with the alcohol-free dive bar atmosphere, I've never really liked their crepes either - the savory are bland and a bit oily, and the sweet are overly sweet. Once I got exposed to excellent, albeit more expensive, crepes (see Crepe Cafe and Wine Bar in Seattle) and I went back to see if perhaps I just hadn't had a taste for crepes before, my opinion was reaffirmed. If you must have dessert for breakfast this is your place, but that's about the extent of its charm. If you must have the street cred, remember that you can talk about it without actually going. read more

I don't know what's up with the 3.5! Come on guys, Providence isn't Paris, and La Creperie is pretty legit for Le street du Thayer. Maybe you guys aren't ordering the right crepe - indulge me for a second now as I step into my crepe snob soapbox. Never should you get a crepe with whipped cream on top - it just gets soggy. And don't get anything with tomatoes inside, cuz then the inside gets soggy. Also don't go too crazy with the toppings slash fillings; you want something to complement the crepe's natural flavors, not vie for attention and overshadow said crepe's inner beauty... I will cut to the chase. What I'm trying to say is, just order the Racquel crepe (Brie, baby spinach, and cranberries). It is perfect. A balance of sweet, tart, creamy, cheesy, and spinach (no euphemism for that one, sorry). What's that? You hate all of the above? Well then just get a butter sugar crepe. Or move to Paris. But as long as you're on the Hill, please sit down and enjoy the lovely Racquel at the one and only Creperie. P.S. I'd be surprised if you're still reading, but one more wise word of advice since you've made it this far - the secret to truly enjoying your crepe: don't let your mind wander. If you have Racquel before you, don't go around dreaming about Lisa or Catherine - it will just make you unhappy. You chose Racquel and in that moment she is The One. read more

While this place seems to come off a this eclectic cool little hole in the wall, it's clear from the moment we first walked into this place (our first time), that the help has a bad attitude problem. I can't believe that we got absolutely no greeting when we walked through the door of this place! There wasn't a soul in the little place so they had no excuse to make us feel like intruders! I'm really surprised this place is even still open. About the crepes: nothing to write about here. Mediocre. Good concept, poor execution. read more

The people here seriously need to fix their attitudes. You didn't invent the crepe, so don't act like you did. That being said, the food is perfectly acceptable. They're a bit stingy with the fillings, but what can you expect lol. read more

Heaven. Yes, thats right... Heaven. I had never had a crepe or been to Thayer street until a few weeks ago when a girlfriend insisted I needed to go. She dragged me to La Creperie and that is where I discovered my new love. Crepes. As a lover of sweets and dessert I ventured to the sweet side of the menu, plus it was after dinner, so I considered this dessert. I ordered the smores crepe. A crepe loaded with nutella, baby marshmallows and graham crackers. The nutella was warm and gooey and the marshmallows had melted just the right amount, not runny but not completely solid. I devoured this baby! Can't wait to go back and try some more! Stop in, you'll be glad you did! read more

Uh, I'm usually dragged here with my friend who loves crepes and this is the only place around..once I get here though, I'm sorry I complained! It's over priced sweets at it's finest. To top it all off, the place it tiny! If you're really hankering for something sweet, you're better off going to froyo world. But if you're a crepe virgin, dive on in. If, of course if you have no fear of being shanked in the alley way they are located in.. Sweet and savory crepes for lunch, or dessert. Whatever you're in for. I like the strawberry and banana crepe with chocolate. I don't remember the name since they're all names of girls which is actually pretty cool, but I try not to give them too much credit. I wish I knew how to make crepes as awesome as they do so I could save my money! I'm being too harsh...they are really good but too expensive! read more

I eat here all the time, but it's more because it's convenient than tasty. As far as crepes go, these are really not that great. (I'm kind of a crepe snob, but honestly, crepes can be much, much better). On the other hand, as far as Thayer St food goes, La Creperie is above average. While the price is pretty reasonable, the crepes are hit or miss. And when I say "hit" I really just mean palatable. In general, they put way too much Nutella on their crepes and my plate often looks like a muddy mess. (All the Nutella lovers are currently swearing at me. I love Nutella, but in the right proportion!) If you go for the savory crepes, I'd avoid the crepes that include spinach because they just dump some flavorless frozen green stuff on and call it a day. The biggest plus for the Creperie is that it stays open until midnight and is near to Brown's center of campus, making it the place to go for late night snacks. Yum read more

I've read some of the other reviews and I have to agree that the service isn't the most friendly the times that I've been there. I wasn't treated rudely, but just as if they are simply trying to get their work done with a minimum of conversation. I have to say I really enjoy the crepes. I always get the one with the brie, cranberries and spinach. That's one of my fav combinations and it has been delicious every time. I also really enjoy the nutella with bananas and strawberries; again, delicious. My son has had the smoothies and he seemed to enjoy them. I'll be back just to get these two crepes... even if the ambiance isn't the best (yes, it does get hot in here), and the service isn't the most friendly. read more
