    This family owned 13 year old gem is down a pedestrian only lane between York and Addison and close to a free public parking garage in downtown Elmhurst. After you place your order you are given a pager so you can sit down and wait for your order to be freshly prepared. I sipped on a delicious cup of Dark Matter coffee. Cream, a variety of sugars and syrups are available for the coffee. It is a super casual disposable plate kind of place but the flavor and tenderness of our Cali Crepe was impressive as well as the size which was big enough for two to share. It came with a most interesting apple slaw side that had lime, cilantro and super crispy tart apple shreds. All items can be prepared gluten free for a reasonable upcharge. I will be back to try other crepes on their menu.

    What a gem! My first time here. Glad to find a great creperie! My friend and I got the SMOG and Inside Out Boy. I am usually into sweet crepes as savory ones never come to mind. But my friend convinced me to try one and it definitely didn't disappoint. I wish I had room to share a sweet crepe but I will have to come back and try it. My friend absolutely loved the Chicago SMOG. The giardiniera really gave the crepe the kick it needed. I got the inside out boy crepe and I loved the chorizo combined with the chipotle mayo. Delish! Will definitely be back!

    A place like this is actually good when it gives you the crepes. It however is way too bright in here to be scary. Nu Crepes has a few takes on the classic French pastry, making choices not only for breakfast but also other times. Light so it feels like you're not eating much but these are actually filling. They have quite a few vegetarian choices and some are for dessert, with chocolate and other sugary fillings and ingredients. Came in for a quick coffee and bite. It has a small dining room located downstairs. There's coffee from Dark Matter. It's $2.50 a cup. Plenty of crepes to choose from. Get one which suits your fancy, as they have a good amount. There's breakfast crepes, as well as savory and sweet. I had a Veggie Crepe. It's about $9 for most crepes. This one comes filled with caramelized onions, a carrot and zucchini mix, hummus, mozzarella, provolone, and spinach. Get it vegan by leaving off the cheese. This was more than it looked like, and was a good lunch. Has all kinds of crepes to choose from. It has a Thai style with chicken and peanut sauce just to name one. They even have dessert styles such as smores.

    Nu Crêpes is a must-visit restaurant in Elmhurst, Illinois. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The menu is filled with a variety of sweet and savory crepes that are sure to satisfy any craving. The Lumberjack'd crepe is a standout dish that I highly recommend. It's filled with sausage (or other breakfast protein), scrambled eggs, and cheddar cheese, making it the perfect breakfast or brunch option. The crepe itself is perfectly cooked and has a nice traditional flavor. The combination of flavors including maple syrup is simply delicious and will leave you feeling satisfied and energized for the day ahead. In addition to the Lumberjack'd crepe, the sweet crepes are also a must-try. The Nutella and banana crepe is a personal favorite of mine. The crepe is filled with a generous amount of Nutella and fresh bananas, making it a decadent and indulgent treat. The crepe is also topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar, adding an extra touch of sweetness. Overall, Nu Crêpes is a fantastic restaurant that offers delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. Currently for 2023 an art installation of umbrellas is just outside their front door.

    Nu Crepes is getting a lot of traffic with the Umbrella Sky Project just outside its front door during the summer of 2023. You can even enjoy a sweet or savory crepe while sitting at one of the 3 outdoor tables under the colorful umbrella sky. The place is a few step down to modest lower level dining area. You order at the counter and they "buzz" you when your order is ready. They offer breakfast, sweet and savory crepes. Their crepes are fairly large and seems to match their price schedule. I ordered the Chicago SMOG which is a savory crepe with Italian sausage, mushrooms onions, and garlic mayo. It didn't register with me that it also came with a mild giardiniera which is essentially a pickled relish in vinegar. It is very Chicago, but it was not something I personally enjoy. The crepe was probably about a foot round so it was a lot to eat. You won't go hungry after one of their crepes. Needless to say, I didn't finish my Chicago SMOG and I would have taken it home if it wasn't for the giardiniera. However, just because I don't like giardiniera and it was what I ordered, I can still say that Nu Crepes does do a decent job in executing their crepe menu. They are all freshly made with fresh ingredients and usually takes 5-10 minutes. The staff is friendly and helpful, but there is minimal service as it is mostly set up as a self-service fast food-style restaurant. Nu Crepes is definitely worth the try if you are in the area and love crepes. I will simply stick with the sweet crepes the next time!

    The Blonde crepe

    Absolutely one of the best experiences we've had while visiting the area. Right next to a parking garage where you can park free for up to 4 hours. Comfortable seating area indoors, and also some outdoor seating. The employees that we interacted with were friendly and helpful with recommendations. We had the lumberjack (breakfast crepe with eggs, meat etc) and The Blonde, with banana, pb and caramel. The sweet crepe was stuffed full of perfectly ripe banana, and the ginger maple sausage in the breakfast crepe was excellent. If we lived here, we'd work our way through the whole menu.

    I might consider my love for Nu Crepes an addiction. Every time is perfect and delicious. I do recommend ordering ahead if you're in a rush or very hungry because perfection does take time. They are always able to add whatever I want to my crepes too. 100/10 definitely one of my favourite places to go in Elmhurst

    So much pride in the craft... We've been coming for a couple of years now. Truly gets better every time.. Super friendly staff. Freshly made and Dark Matter coffee is icing on the crepe.

    Wow! I heard about this place tons of times. First time here and it won't be the last. So much to choose from and the food is made to perfection. You'll see me back again and I'll tell anyone that likes crepes to check you out.

    The Blonde
    Simran P.

    I've haven't come to this place since pre Covid and it is still as delicious as ever! My go to savory crepe is the Porko Loco. There is something about the saltness from the cheese and pork mixed with the spicyness of the sriracha that gets me drooling every time. We ordered the Blonde as well. The Blonde is not overly sweet, it's made with biscoff so it had a nice caramel/malty flavor, which is why I like this one compared to most of the crepes with Nutella. I'm the type of person that likes to alternating bites between the sweet and savory crepes and the Porko loco and the Blondes flavors work so well together!

    I have never had better crepes! Absolutely delicious savory and dessert options. Excellent service and friendly employees. The style of the restaurant and cozy and the outside alley have umbrellas decorating above. A beautiful place to eat and enjoy the weather.

You place your order on the tablet, there is just one guy working in there who makes the food and places it on the counter. The decor is simple and just right. The food is the best food ever! I had the rice paper wrap with tofu in it. I could only eat half as I was so full. The seasoning on the fries is so good.. and the cucumber salad was top notch. Even the drinks in the cooker area were very interesting that I had never seen before. It's very clear that this is a very well thought out restaurant. The only feedback I would give is to add a couple of options for vegan gluten free in the menu. My wrap had to be customized and communicating with the chef was a bit of a challenge due to language.

    Zenwich - Tasty Food, Lacking Warmth…read more My family and I recently visited Zenwich and tried a little bit of everything--two sandwiches and two rice bowls. Let's start with the good: the sandwiches were delicious, with standout bread that really elevated the meal. While I wouldn't go out of my way to make a special trip just for them, they were definitely enjoyable and well-executed. The rice bowls earned a solid 7.5 from my husband and son. Flavorful and filling, but maybe missing that little extra something to make them truly memorable. Where Zenwich unfortunately fell flat was the customer service. We visited around 5 PM on a Friday and there was only one person working. Not only were we not greeted when we walked in, but we stood at the counter for several minutes without even being acknowledged. I even saw another customer politely thank the staff member after asking for a napkin, and he didn't so much as look up in response. It left the whole experience feeling impersonal. If the service matched the quality of the food, this would've easily been a four-star visit. With just a bit more effort in the hospitality department, Zenwich could really shine.

I completely understand that delays can happen, but several customers who ordered after my family and I received their food before us. A large order for a family of eight was even called ahead of ours, despite being placing their order after us. When I asked again when I could expect our food, I was told it was being worked on. However, this is an open kitchen, and there were no burgers on the grill at the time. Since I needed to return to work, I requested a refund. I was asked to leave my receipt on the counter and told it would be handled later. I asked that the refund be processed immediately, and it was eventually completed. This was especially disappointing because it was my second visit. I experienced a small issue during my first visit, and unfortunately, this experience was worse. As someone in the food industry, I was surprised there was no apology for the inconvenience. I hope ownership takes this as an opportunity to improve communication and customer service training for staff. If I don't hear back from management, I will presume they don't care about their clientele.

Food: The food was cold and honestly unappetizing. The "salt fries" arrived cold, topped with cold cheese sauce. The burger was lukewarm, greasy, and sloppy -- we stopped eating it after a couple bites because it seemed like the kind of thing that would make you feel sick. The only somewhat decent item was the onion rings, likely because they were the only thing served hot. We ended up sharing those and throwing the rest away. Even then, my stomach didn't feel right for the rest of the evening.

Because there are none within a reasonable drive distance of where I live, and I get a taste (crave, taste, potato, tomato) for them on occasion. Anyway, getting in from LaGrange Road takes some maneuvering when southbound, but I made the left turn and then the quick right, and was in. It took a few minutes to get my order in - the drive through was slammed. I waited patiently until they could take my order, so I ordered 6 White Castle burgers, a small order of fries, and a small drink. The drink machine is one of those wonders of Coke. I had a Cherry Fanta. My tongue is still red, but that tasted good. The 6 "sliders" were served nice and hot, with grilled onions. The fries were straight out of the fryer. The mens room was clean - you need a code to open the door - just ask the staff. No, I'm not sharing the code (they'd just have to change it!) Typical good White Castle. It could use a deep cleaning behind the counter, particularly to the right of the three Fryers. And under them.
