TLDR: The place for crepes whether savory or sweet. Locally owned, lovely atmosphere, ideal lighting, pleasant music, friendly employee, and gluten-free! Okay this is my new favorite crepe place. Plus it's a locally owned restaurant! The crepes are incredible and make quickly. Perfect texture and flavor. The ingredients are cooked appropriately and the crepes are large. Plus they are presented well and are gluten-free. I chose the Le Champignon crepe with English breakfast tea my first visit and the same crepe with Earl Grey Tea my second visit. It's so good I haven't been able to choose a different crepe haha. Even the tea was presented well and steeped perfectly. So many places are serving hot tea in disposable cups even when dining in. It was such a joy and relief to enjoy the tea in a nice cup and saucer with the pot close by. The cafe is empty around 8 am and picks up around 8:30 am. They play low jazz or pop music and have ample tables that seat 2 or 4 customers. The wi-fi information is posted near the condiments, water dispenser, and trash. It took about 10 minutes for an employee to realize I was there. She was friendly and efficient. I believe she is the only one working (during both visits) so some indication that customers are ready to order would be useful to save time. She interacts well with customers and takes orders and makes the food. Overall, I had a great visit and recommend this cafe to others! read more

This is a cute little Crepe restaurant! Honestly the prices will surprise you and that is definitely the biggest negative because everything is expensive. I was hesitant ordering the crepe because of that but luckily the crepe ended up being massive. That definitely made up for the price. The savory egg sausage crepe was by far my favorite. My wife very much liked the sweet chocolate crepe. Other than the Crepes I was disappointed with how much the sides and coffee cost for what we got. Also the staff seemed very rushed and aggressive for a tip. That is the main thing stopping this from a five star. If I were to go back it would definitely be for the Crepe! read more

Great little cafe in downtown Holly Springs. The food is fantastic and mostly gluten free. The food is pure and unadulterated. Only whole, unprocessed, natural, and non-GMO ingredients that are free from preservatives and anything artificial are served. Some say it is expensive but once you taste the quality food you'll be glad you went. . read more

I absolutely love this 100% gluten-free crepe & coffee shop, located in downtown holly springs, nc. They offer delicious crepes and coffee made with ancient grains and no refined sugars. my order favorites: Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Strawberry Waffle: simply delicious! topped with local dairy vanilla ice cream. Whole Milk Cappuccino: delicious & comforting! made with local dairy. Chocolate Hazelnut Crêpe: amazing! the hazelnut sauce has no refined sugars, is made with coconut sugar, and is dairy free! @lovegrasskitchen is locally owned, with Meron & her daughter. They would love for you to stop in and say hi! read more

The crepes were outrageously expensive for what they gave. ONE crepe SMALL crepe is 18$. Yes 18$. As in 18 dollars. False advertising for the strawberry and 'cream' crepe. It's just 1-2 strawberry's very thinly sliced and some jam no cream filling of Any sort the crème is whip cream. A little bit on top that's it... also the hazelnut crepe is just Nutella..... with not even a quarter of a banana and strawberry. The customer service was okay but overall I wouldn't recommend unless you need to spend money just to spend money and leave hungry. Place was beautiful but not for the prices I'm so sorry! read more

The food The good was gluten free and there are many non dairy and a few vegan options. They use teff instead of wheat which, if you are not familiar, is from Ethiopia and is a miracle grain. It's nutritious, gluten-free and grows quickly with less water than many crops. It is used to make traditional Ethiopian flatbread called injera. What a great idea to use this grain for crepes - savory and sweet. While I am not gluten-free, those who are must appreciate this aspect, a lot! The service I would like to give grace in my review for all categories. There was an unfortunate family emergency and the menu was limited and they were understaffed for a few hours, only. I hope that everything has worked out for the best for the owners and their family - I will return in a few weeks. Ambiance It's an adorable cafe in brand new building in the now growing down town of Holly Springs. It is bright and has exposed ceiling and industrial-style lights. The dining areas are almost diagonally separated from one another - so, two separate areas to eat and a large communal area outside for multiple shops including a creamery and an Asian restaurant. read more

Yep, I'm updating my review to max out the stars. I've been a regular at this spot lately for a good reason: they're a great business with fine food. All the things I held against them earlier (and they were minor things btw) are thrown out the window. I wish LK loads of success. A. read more

Unfortunately I need to update my rating once again. The last four times I've visited they have been out of pretty staple menu offerings. My sister and I met for lunch specifically to get the salmon crepe (my fave savory crepe on the menu) only to find they were out of salmon. Bummer. They were later out of salmon (again) and sausage. The last two times I was there they were out of oat milk. The first time, I was eating there and was offered an almond milk latte instead. The foam was completely solid and weird. I scooped it out and drank what remained and then was sick to my stomach the rest of the day. Fast forward a month and I placed a takeout order - waffle and latte. When I arrived to pick it up they had not even started making it even though no customers were waiting on food. Then, the person making the coffee held up an empty oat milk carton announcing they were out of oat milk. WHAT?!?!? Who is in charge of buying for this operation and why can't they get themselves together?! I canceled the entire order and have zero plans to give this place a 50th chance. Very disappointing because this could be a really amazing place. I've been a number one fan recommending them again and again. And it's so nearby. I really wanted this to be my go-to place from the moment they opened. I can no longer support. read more

Lovegrass Kitchen - Lemon Blueberry Waffle - Cafes Near Me - Holly Springs, North Carolina

Permanently closed! Drove there. No sign but tables and chairs stacked against wall.

I decided to stop by since I was in the area and wanted to try something new. I walked inside and ordered the lemon blueberry waffle and Le Chèvre and Hot Chocolate. I ordered and paid with the cashier, took a number and found a place to sit. Once your order is complete, it is brought over to you by an employee. The food was very tasty and I only realized that it was a gluten free only restaurant because it said so on the window that I was eating at. Other than that, I would have had no idea. The place itself is clean, rather busy and the noise level is above average. read more

So this place has plenty of indoor and outside seating! Savory and sweet crepe options. It was really good! I'll definitely be back to try other items. One of our crepes was outstanding and the other one was good but nothing out of this world. Definitely worth trying more items off the menu read more

100% gluten free ! Food is great. Had the chicken sausage crepe and the one with honey. Both were really good. I don't eat a lot of fru-fru food so I was alittle skeptical going in (the wife has a gluten allergy) but the food was a very pleasant surprise. Kinda place you walk up to a counter, order off a menu hanging down then they bring the food to you. Mine had appropriate mass so I was happy after. Coffee's we're good - she had a oat milk latte with something and whatnot which she enjoyed quite a bit. I had a black "drip" coffee which I also enjoyed. I expect this will become a regular Saturday brunch spot for us after hitting farmers market..... read more

My wife and I were in the area and were excited to check this place out. However didn't have a good experience. Her salad was pretty good, but my crepe was wrong the first time and needed to be redone. I was amazed how long it took for the food to come out. I don't see us coming back. read more

We are huge fans. Food and drinks are excellent and we always feel good after eating here--probably because of such healthy, fresh ingredients. Love the clean, modern atmosphere and friendly staff too! read more

I love this cute little place. This was my first time. My daughter loves crepes so I wanted to give this place a try. I had a chicken sausage crepe. It was absolutely delicious. The strawberry lemonade was fresh and with a nice tartness. The food took a little bit of time, mainly because it was made to order and fresh. I will definitely come back to try other menu items. read more

Lovegrass Kitchen is now open in Downtown Holly Springs. This place is serving up sweet and savory crepes, liege waffles, salads, açaí bowls and drinks. My husband and I split the le chèvre crepe and dark chocolate strawberry crepe. They were out of a lot of ingredients since we visited later in the day. Both of the crepes were so good but for the price I would expect a little bit more filling. I'll have to try this spot again earlier in the day because I really want to try the honey lavender lemonade. read more

This is the Refreshing Acai bowl. They told us after it was done that they were out of the açaí powder (the star ingredient) and most toppings. They also didn't have any spoons. This took about 20 minutes to make. This was also $13. LOL. read more

I have found a new local favorite. I can't explain how good my food was. How satisfying the meal. The crispy sweet waffle, the topping, everything was perfectly good with wonderful flavors. The beet salad was also delicious. My to-go order arrived in perfect shape and looked just like it would on a plate which I really appreciated. Many times orders arrive deconstructed and you have to assemble. And maybe sometimes because of the food that is needed. But everything arrived perfectly plated. So pretty. I took tons of pics! I will be getting this exact order again after I've tried everything else. So good! Next time I want to eat in. read more

We had Le Champignon , mushroom and spinach crepe, and savory chicken crepe. Our son had Belgian waffle with strawberry Nutella Yum!!!

Very quaint. Great customer service, food is fresh and not overly sweet. Great options for crepes, salads, and smoothies. The place needs better signage from the street, as it does not have good visibility for cars going by, but once you are there it is worth the stop. read more

Very expensive, small portions, and a bowl of cold cuts passed off as "smoked turkey." Waffles were good but that doesn't make up for the smoked turkey. They refunded me for it, which is why I left 3 stars instead of 2. read more

This business is SLOW. The employees don't know answers about ingredients. They are not accommodating toward dairy allergies which is one of the easiest ones to use alternate ingredients for. Seems they would be knowledgable and accommodating toward allergies since they are gluten free. read more

This place was taking orders and not fulfilling them. We were willing to be patient and wait... But after waiting for over 70 minutes!!, we did what others were doing and asked for a full refund. To make matters worse one party who came after us with larger orders were being served essentially because they complained louder after waiting only 10 minutes. We only ordered three dishes for reference. Maybe the food is good here but we won't have the chance to find out ultimately. read more

So excited to give this place a try but my friend and I were very underwhelmed. The food was just ok. The lemon blueberry crepe didn't taste like it had any lemon in it. It was still a decent warm breakfast that's close to home. The experience was very underwhelming. I don't want to make this post overly negative because I'm sure it's new and needs some time, so my feedback is purely constructive criticism. Even if the food was exceptionally delicious, having to eat it while listening to Christian music is never going to be the vibe I'm going to be into, but if this place is meant to attract only Christians I suppose it's fine. If you're looking for a quick takeout option it's pretty ok though. I was hoping it could be the sort of cafe I go to with my laptop to get some work done and enjoy a bite. But that won't be it for me. read more

It's good. Coffee was super hot & super strong. After contemplating the açaí bowl- we both opted for savory crepes. Felt like a very healthy breakfast honestly. Lots of fresh veggies & avocado in both of our meals. Staff was helpful & friendly. Two crepes & two coffees cost us $45. I suppose I feel that's a it steep. We also tipped 15% because they did bring us our food & coffee. I suppose everything is just costing more these days. The menu is very limited which was fine - everything looked fresh, healthy & very appetizing. read more

I've visited a few times and the liege waffles are amazing! They are different than normal waffles in that they are made using Belgian Pearl sugar which creates a caramelized outside. I like they use organic ingredients and it's 100% gluten free. There are also wonderful smoothie, crepes, and coffee options. It can be a bit tricky to locate, it's a little hidden down some Stairs. Easy parking in the parking lot across the street. read more

I don't know what the attraction is to this place. There is no ambience, and it takes forever to get your food. I was there with several friends and we were the only people in the restaurant. The crêpes we ordered were so skimpy. There was hardly any food in them at all. The prices are very high for what you get. Will not be back. read more

Lovely place for brunch and coffee I'll coma back for crapes :) there are lot of seating area inside, it's not just a cafe, it's more like of a simple brunch place read more

Lovegrass Kitchen - Inside, Americano - Cafes Near Me - Holly Springs, North Carolina

Ordered 2 drinks and 2 crepes. The initial ordering process was simple, but it took over 30 mins to get our 2 crepes (drinks came out quickly, but were pretty much gone by the time our food arrived). Needless to say, the service needs to be improved. It was also pretty empty, so it wasn't slow due to a rush of people. The food wasn't bad, but they did mess up 1 of the 2 crepes. Not sure we'll be back, and if we do, it'll be a few months at least. read more

What a gem of a place! Everything here is gluten free and delicious. I had a honey lavender lemonade, the tomato basil crepe, and a pumpkin muffin because why not. All of it was amazing and I bought a muffin to go too. I can't wait to go back and try more stuff and am grateful to have a place like this that caters to gluten free options! read more

I was very underwhelmed by my recent visit to Lovegrass Kitchen... I wouldn't recommend going here if there's anything you're particularly interested in ordering on the menu. They were out of waffles, oatmeal, *and* chicken sausage -- so with half the food menu off the table, no one in my party was able to order what they wanted. The food that we ended up ordering was just fine. Also didn't love that (a) the wait for our food was long, (b) the utensils my friend received were dirty, and (c) the size of the water cups was enough for about 2 sips. read more

Ordered online for pickup. I arrived at the time it was to be ready and was told it would be 20 minutes. I waited for 30 minutes as the staff walked by me twenty times without ever following up. I go to the counter to ask about my order and I'm told it will be ready in 15 minutes. They finally hand me my food almost an hour after the said ready time. We get home and find they left out the smoked turkey on our salad. So I call and no one answers. I leave a message with my number and asking for a refund. It's been three weeks and they did not refund me or call me back. read more

Truly outstanding crepes and coffee! I get so excited on days I have to find a remote place to work and I have an excuse to go there and get my favorite mushroom crepe - it is to die for - and an oat milk americano - delicious. They have savory and sweet crepes - all outstanding. Sweet family-run business, sweet people, great atmosphere. I also appreciate their sustainability, in particular the biodegradable corn straw rather than those horrible paper straws some places use. It's the little things. read more

I was excited when I found this place in the area, I enjoy and frequent many of the other restaurants there, but was pretty underwhelmed during my visit. The food and drinks we had were all okay. The crepes were pretty good, but our specialty drinks could've been better. I was pretty turned off by the service and environment. The employees were polite enough, but we were there around 9 on a Thursday when they'd opened at 8, and it seemed like no one bothered to clean up last night or prepare to open this morning. The self-service station for beverages was basically empty, with a water carafe that was sitting with the last bit of water from the night before; it was room temp so I won't even give them the benefit of assuming it'd been emptied in a busy early morning rush. Some of the tables (right in front of the register) were also dirty, visibly sticky, and the cooler at the front was almost empty with just a few things in it, but had visible crumbs and dust. No shade on an empty cooler, supply issues are real, but being dirty and disorganized is on the staff. You could at least wipe it down and move things forward to be presentable. I would be way more understanding if they'd been busy, but the front of house staff were literally sitting down chatting behind the counter in between the few customers that they had instead of maintaining their service area. The icing on the cake was the Christian music playing over the speakers. Not to dismiss or disrespect anyone's beliefs, but it's incredibly alienating to customers who don't share them. Honestly, even if I'd enjoyed the food and service, I'd never come back based on that alone. I'm someone who works remotely and enjoys working from local coffee shops, but I couldn't possibly sit in an unkept dining room listening to religious propaganda for any period of time. I don't understand why the business owner would put the burden on their customers to ignore it or align with their religious beliefs instead of just creating a welcoming environment for anyone who's willing to pay to enjoy a crepe and a coffee. The dining room is very cute, and I appreciate their trying to bring that type of cuisine to the area. It's clear someone had great intentions for the space, but that person probably needs to come down and defend their business because today they really missed the mark. read more
