I always forget to take photos of my food, so words will need to suffice! My friends and I enjoyed the loveliest breakfast at Simply Crepes over the weekend. I had the delicious gluten free crepes -- I got the traditional style but nearly all of their crepes can be made GF. We all agreed that the food was delicious. And the service was outstanding. I have been to this location 3-4 times and am always impressed with the service! read more

Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. From the moment we arrived, the person who greeted us was not welcoming and seemed uninterested in assisting us. It took several minutes just to find us a table. After being seated, we waited more than 20 minutes for someone to take our order, but no one ever came. We also noticed several other tables with customers waiting for service as well. Meanwhile, some employees appeared to be chatting with each other instead of attending to guests. At that point, we decided to leave because it was clear that service was not a priority. Good customer service is essential, and unfortunately, this experience did not meet even basic expectations. I cannot recommend this restaurant based on our visit. read more

One of my fav crepe places in Raleigh! My husbands first time experiencing a savory crepe he generally sticks to his Nutella nanaberry ones. We got the Thai curry crepe with chicken, cordon bleu crepe and a side poutine. The Thai curry crepe was the star of the meal, so flavorful chicken cooked perfectly with the crispy wontons chips for the perfect crunch. The poutine also was yum super crispy potatoes with ample gravy and cheese for each bite! Was wondering how the cordon bleu would be served, it's a whole deep fried crepe which was a tad bit salty just like the server said it would be idk why they wouldn't fix it if she was aware of it too, it felt a little dry but she did bring us extra Alfredo sauce for it when we mentioned it. Loved the vibe of the place, there's ample seating options, dining area/ bar/ as well as outdoor. While there is limited parking we found a spot since it was a weekday afternoon. Def will be back to try their drinks menu and brunch items. read more

My wife and I recently tried this restaurant when we were in Raleigh and it was just fabulous. The hostess seated us very quickly and within a matter of moments water was on the table and orders were being taken. Service was outstanding. I really liked the setup of the restaurant decorations and creative ambiance of France. The real star of the show is the food. I had the Cuban sandwich with the plantains which were fried to perfection. And I had a slice of French toast which is one of the best French toasts I've ever had. Crunchy and moist with real maple syrup. This was a wonderful experience and next time I'm in Raleigh I will be sure to go back to enjoy another culinary delectable. read more

We originally came to Lafayette plaza to visit another establishment, however I was quickly outvoted by the fam while walking around that they were in the mood for crepes which led us to Simply Crepes. This warm chic country vibe was inviting and homey and had a typical bustling brunch crowd you'd expect on a weekend morning which is always a good sign. After browsing the menu, we decided on the Crepe Madame, Breakfast Burrito Crepe, Maple Sausage Stackers, and the RumChata Banana French Toast. Their coffee selections also looked way too good to pass up, so I indulged on their Lavender Oat Milk Latte. Yummy is an understatement, it was absolutely divine. Between all of our choices, which were all very delicious, the star of brunch was undoubtedly the French Toast. Those caramelized bananas took it over the top and elevated an already fantastic dish. I also have to give credit to using a crepe as the burrito wrap was a genius concept that worked well. We all enjoyed this last-minute change of plans for crepe creations brunch. read more

The Nutella strawberry crepe was delicious, not too sweet, not too plain. The crepe was soft. I was expecting it to be a heavy dessert, however it was surprisingly light. The waitress was very attentive and kind. Overall a nice relaxed restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed simply crepes, no complaints. We were lucky to visit on a warm day and sit on the patio together. The drinks were fun and colorful. Especially my mimosa flight (half off on Fridays) we split the Chicken Tarragon Crepe and the Banana Foster and a side of crispy potatoes. read more

My first time at simply crepes - I was really craving a breakfast crepe and I don't visit Lafayette Village nearly as often even though it's so convenient in North Raleigh. Tons of good parking in this area but it is busy basically all the time. I started with the iced shaken espresso latte which was pretty good. Then we got the beignets, which oh my gosh, these are the best beignets I've had outside of New Orleans. Well worth $10. I was debating between the crepe Madam (like a Croque madam) and the huevos rancheros. I ended up going with the huevos rancheros even though I was skeptical of the pork. I was pleasantly surprised! The pork was seasoned well. Personally, I would not have minded if it was a little spicy but I get needing to appeal to all palettes. I will definitely try the crepe madam next time. We sat outside, which was nice, and our server was very attentive. Overall, around $35 for an iced coffee, half an app, and a hearty breakfast crepe, which I think is extremely reasonable for Raleigh. read more

To start, we went on a Monday morning around 8:30 am. There was literally no one here and they took a while to seat us because we couldn't find anyone working. After being seated, everything was great with our server. Sadly we both wanted the breakfast sandwich and were told they did not have any toast and couldn't serve it. We ended up getting the breakfast crepe instead and it was really good. A little thick with the crepe material but really tasty. Overall, the experience was decent and I give this place a 2/5 stars. read more

This restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. I attended a baby shower held in a private section reserved just for the event, which made the experience even more special. The food was catered and served buffet-style. We had strawberries and cream crêpes, breakfast sandwiches, chicken and "waffles" (crêpes), bacon, and fruit salad. Everything was delicious! The chicken and "waffles" dish was a bit unusual, especially for a buffet--it consisted of chicken tenders and bacon served over crêpes, with syrup on the side. Still, it was enjoyable. The service was phenomenal--we never wanted for anything! read more

! Tried something else other than the crepes . It was actually good ! Had an ice Carmel coffee only thing it kinda tasted like water and Carmel syrup and everything is kinda overpriced but overall it's great! read more

Not sure what's happening with this place, but the food is good so we keep coming here. But today might have killed it. So inefficient! We were seated fairly quickly and then had 4-5 servers ignore us for about 10-15 minutes until I finally had to flag someone down. She was very nice, but the fact that we had to flag someone down did not make them more attentive to our needs. It took another 25 (!) minutes for me to get my (average) latte. And then at least 60 minutes for us to get our food. We watched as food sat on the counter for so long, all servers ignoring it. I wanted to hop up and start delivering it to whichever tables were waiting for it! Food was fine but my teens were starting to get genuinely lightheaded waiting for over an hour. Absolutely bananas. read more

We were greeted warmly upon arrival. I was surprised by how empty the restaurant was at lunchtime on a Wednesday. There was approximately five tables occupied: we ordered and our drinks came in a reasonable amount of time. My Bloody Mary was delicious as was my friends mojito flight. After a very long wait we got our mains. I touched my potatoes and they were room temperature. After I did that my friend thought it was because our food was sitting on the counter for a long time before we were served. Then I cut into my burger before the waiter left and my burger had too much pink for it to be medium well. She took back my meal to make another one. After a long wait I got my meal, it was perfectly hot and cooked to my liking. It was delicious. My only comment would be there was a drop of aioli on the bun, I would have liked more on the burger or perhaps a ramekin on the side. Either there was not enough servers or the kitchen was backed up. This was not how it was in the many times I came here in the past. read more

I hadn't been here in so long it seemed but I decided to drive from Durham on an unexpected day off on a weekday morning. I simply asked for my sweet crepe to not be cold and you would have thought I asked for a ribeye steak. The 3 cooks in the open kitchen gathered to discuss how "she" wants a warm crepe and how it doesn't make sense. These 3 cooks spent 5 minutes coming up with a game plan. Now I've made the exact order over the past 9 years and it's never been an issue. It's certainly not worth the drive anymore. When I've come on the weekend, it's been insane. I'm happy you have a thriving business but the tall young man who stands in the front doesn't acknowledge customers and will walk by customers like we're not standing there when it's obvious people are trying to get their names on the list. read more

Easy parking, great place for brunch. Service is good. The ambiance is great and their dishes were great! Loved the egg an ham crepe! Very good mimosas and coffee. They can improve their checkin. Even when we were called to be seated, we had to keep waiting. It was chaos on their entrance. read more

Food was ok but we won't go back to this place as it seems poorly managed and understaffed. Came at 1 pm on a Sunday and while we expected to wait, we were told 30 mins and ended waiting 40+. When we checked in on our waitlist spot we were finally seated, then proceeded to wait another 20 mins to be greeted by a waiter and offered drinks. We placed our food order which didn't come out for another 40 mins. While we were waiting, I noticed many of the tables outside were not cleaned up after people left, resulting in napkins and garbage blowing everywhere. The food was just okay. Definitely not worth the price for the wait and headache. I feel like I wasted half of my Sunday trying to eat at this place. The sad thing is the wait staff was very kind and you could tell they were overworked. So I do not blame the wait times on them. It's very clear there is not enough staff to run this place, resulting in bad service. read more

Simply mid. Ordered the strawberry crepes with brown sugar and maple syrup. They come out covered in strawberry sauce. When I asked, they said the brown sugar and maple syrup were on the inside. They weren't. Service meh, food meh. Prices very meh read more

Visited the place again on the 13th of July after a nice brunch at Vinos Finos (see my separate review - also in Yelp). And this time I had an all-day cocktail (a white peach sangria - a delicious A grade) and their bananas and creme crepe - also a strong A. Strongly recommend their crepes. Seriously good stuff. read more

Stay away! After three consecutive poor experiences I had to give the bad review this restaurant deserves. I have resolved to never visit again and when this restaurant is mentioned I make sure to speak up and tell my tale of woe and ineptitude. 1/ slow service / insufficient staff. After giving our order, we waited 45 + minutes for our entrees. I timed it. The food sat ready on the counter for several customers. Consequently, when our food arrived it was luke warm. It wasn't just us , we saw other tables wait for a long time. 2/ luke warm food. see above. again, not just us. 3/ poor tasting savory entrees. The cook is imaginative. the dishes are unusual combinations of ingredients that you wont see at other restaurants. this is because the ingredients dont complement each other. The Rugby crepe : the luke warm , over cooked shaved beef with lettace does NOT combine well with a soggy room temperate crepe. The desserts are good though. 4/ poor service. Our wait staff forgot our drink order two visits in a row and forgot silverware as a norm. again not just us. neighboring tables also didnt get silverware. 5/ crumbs on the tables from prior diners. Watched staff wipe a table and leave crumbs . Matched the left over crumbs on our table. I gave this restaurant 2 stars due to the yummy dessert. read more

Thank you for your kindness to my family. Bent over backwards to help out. Service was great!

The food and drinks are delicious. The hot chai tea latte was the best chai latte I've ever had. Very sweet. The crepe madam was delicious. The bacon jam sauce is the perfect sauce with it. Lots of flavor and very filling. The hash browns were different in a good way. Filled with lots of hash and the sour cream is a great topping with it. Service was okay, our dishes were sitting on the counter cooked and ready for quite a while until someone who wasn't our server eventually brought them over. Otherwise, food was amazing. Highly recommend those dishes. read more

We came back expecting the same great experience we had before. We had a reservation and were seated right away, but it took several minutes before our waitress Rachel came over. She was actually amazing--super kind and attentive when she could be--but it seemed like she had way too many tables. Meanwhile, a few other servers appeared to be standing around and chatting most of the time. Because of that, the service overall felt pretty slow. We did enjoy the food, but the restaurant could definitely improve how things are managed. read more

Horrible costumer service, went here for Father's Day. Waited over a hr for our food, food was not good when it came, not to mention a poor attitude with us didn't even look anyone in the eye.

Horribly horrible, should be ashamed of your company. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was invited out to the Lafayette village location by their catering team with my Bottles & Brews Mama group. I was emailing back and forth with them to confirm how many people, correct dates & how many high chairs we'd need, etc. I verified the night before and they said we were all set and ready for us for 11am. One of the ladies in my mama group got there early and the servers had no clue we were going to be coming in. Nothing was set up or prepared for us. I was a few minutes behind (I got there around 10:45) and I called Amber who I was emailing back and forth with and she confirmed we were on the calendar and they should have been ready for us for 11AM but their staff were clueless. Once I got there, I had to direct the server on how to set up a table for us. We weren't seated until 15 minutes AFTER 11. I had to ask if our table was ready for us to sit because no one came and got us to bring us to our table. No managers in sight and I was told they were on their way. General manager called me and profusely apologized and said everything would be great going forward. Unfortunately it only got worse. We were promised free beignets upon arrival and I had to ask for them to be brought out after waiting 40 minutes. Some of our drink orders never came the entire almost 2 hours we were there. I then went up to the assistant manager who finally arrived and had to tell her to come take our order because we all have toddlers that need to eat and not sit for this long without any food. She also apologized profusely and She promised free mimosa flights and mocktails for some of those who were pregnant: mocktails never came. She also promised dessert crepes comp'd on them for our troubles. Those also never came. Our meals sat on the counter getting cold for 10 minutes and I finally told them to bring our food. Most of our dishes were cold. Mine still sat on the counter, I got myself up (mind you I am 8 days post surgery so don't need to be getting up and down this many times to tell them to do their jobs) and asked if this was the French toast and they said yes so I GRABBED MY OWN FOOD AND SERVED MYSELF. Come to realize they never gave me syrup and never brought it even when I asked for it. Needless to say this was the worst dining experience I've ever had and they had REACHED out to me and invited us in to their establishment. Sidenotes: they were not busy at all and some of our group didn't end up coming and thank goodness because if we had the amount I was actually expecting it would have been even worse. I'm so incredibly disappointed in this experience because most of us also drove an hour to get there because we were excited as mentioned earlier we were invited. Only to have straight disappointment and wasted gas money. Lastly, at one point I was given the wrong French toast dish because the server came over and said it was the French toast but that one had alcohol mixed in the crepe jelly... I am pregnant. Realized it was the wrong dish after a few bites. Then had to wait to serve myself the right French toast dish as was stated. All in all WE WILL NEVER BE GOING AGAIN. read more

I've been to Simply Crepes many times since my last review. The restaurant was remodeled slightly since my visit last month when I had the chicken & crepes. I had to look through my photos to see what had changed besides the hostess stand. Wednesdays at 9am are quiet so if you can dine during the week that is the time to go and finding parking is easy. On this visit I went with the breakfast crepe with a side of fruit. It had scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon in it. the fruit had some sliced strawberries, pineapple and mostly melon. The chicken & crepes was really good and a very generous portion. It was the best fried chicken I've eaten and real maple syrup came with the crepes. The food is really good here so I highly recommend Simply Crepes. read more

Everything about this place was phenomenal. The food... the service... the ambiance.... I ordered a goat cheese and arugula crepe and it was so good. Nice and light. Left plenty of room for a dessert crepe. I ordered a banana and crème crepe for dessert to go and ate half in house before leaving and it was heaven. My husband had a rugby crepe and he enjoyed it, but probably wouldn't come back. I'd say this is probably more of a girls night spot then anything. Or somewhere for an adventurous foodie. Or if you like crepes. Our waiter was great! We will definitely be back! read more

I just had a terrible experience at the Simply Crepe location off of Falls of the Neuse. Had a 1:00 reservation and did not get a table until 1:45. We could look at empty tables full of dishes (at least 6 to seven). When we tried to talk to the hostess, she had a terrible attitude and walked away. I spoke to the manager on duty and all she could say is we are very busy. There was a serious lack of staff and no one would take responsibly for it. VERY DISAPPOINTING. read more

We used to live in Raleigh but now we don't, anyways... Where our old house was, this was very nearby so we would go here for breakfast. Anyways, this time when we went here since we were visiting - this place was GREAT. My crepe was AMAZING and our Waitress (Shout-out to Izzy) was VERY kind and warm and inviting. Definitely will come back as long as Izzy's here read more

I would give this place less than one star. I've been to many breakfast restaurants, but I have never experienced such poor service from both the server and the manager. Instead of addressing the issue, the manager gave us an attitude, as if we had eaten for free. The prices are high for no reason. The food quality was extremely low--I would rate it 0/10. Everything was cold and seemed like leftovers being served again. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

Went here for brunch. The menu is quite varied and it was hard to choose. I chose to have the breakfast tacos which were three mini crepes with scrambled eggs, cheddar, apple wood bacon, and bourbon apricot hot honey. The eggs were done perfectly and the bacon was very flavorful. The bourbon apricot honey on top gave a nice contrast to the salty bacon. read more

Came here for brunch on a Friday afternoon and it was half off flights day. My friend and I both got the mimosa flight which came with 4 different flavors; strawberry, orange, mango and raspberry, all delicious. We also got the breakfast tacos which were light and good. And last but not least a lavender mimosa to end the meal. I will say our server was nice and friendly but you could tell they were a bit short staffed in there and our drinks took awhile. read more

Terrible customer service and lack of accountability.My family and I stopped in to try Simply Crêpes (8470 Honeycutt ) but we were extremely disappointed by the poor management at our table.Here is what happened:The Order: We started with two mimosas and an appetizer, then ordered our entrees.The Mix-up: After waiting 20 minutes, we watched our food get delivered to a completely different table. The food runner immediately realized the mistake and addressed it with both the manager and our server.Lack of Apology: Our server came over to re-confirm our order, and we pointed out that we had seen our food given to others. Neither the server nor the manager apologized for the error.Dismissive Attitude: When the server returned to say it would be "a couple more minutes" which we knew was inaccurate after 20+ minutes. we asked for the check. The server had an attitude( probably hot due to AC not working properly), still without offering an apology, and the manager never came to speak with us. Management, please do better. We will not be returning. Management please do not ask us to provide an email, if you wanted to address the issue you should have done so on site. read more

Came on a Sunday around 10. It wasn't crowded but waited about 30 mins with multiple other 2 person parties because they didn't want to sit us at a table for 4. After being seated we were serviced quickly. Ordered the oatmeal creme brûlée, amazing! A side order of eggs and Turkey bacon, disappointing! $8 for Oscar meyer Turkey bacon with the white strip down the middle. For $8 I expected quality bacon, instead they just give you like 5 strips. The eggs were scrambled with cheese but quite bland. Also got the crepe breakfast, which was good but nothing to brag about. The side of potatoes had a great crisp to them, but some were a bit salty, I think they season with old bay. I was so excited to come here, but wasn't overly impressed. If I happen to be close by and I'm the mood for oatmeal, I would come back for that and maybe try one of the sweet crepes. read more

Going on a Saturday morning at 11am was super crowded. The server came by quickly and took drink and "appetizer" order quick. But the app didn't arrive for like 35 minutes and then 5 minutes later the main breakfasts. The egg crepe was fantastic but the Boston crème crepe was just so so. Also, my daughter had been to the other location and said the orders came out as two small crepe next to each other while here they were all one larger crepe. With two, as there is so much food, it would be easier to eat one and take one home. Overall just average due to very slow food service (the the actual server). read more

It was very healthy tasting, I think I'll go for the crepe madame next time. We also split a simply strawberry crepe for dessert. Service was pretty good! The endless tea was worth it since they refilled regularly. The ambiance was pretty nice as well, a quaint spot in Lafayette Village. read more
