Great place for morning coffee and breakfast. The French press is great and of course service is good and friendly.

I am really glad I took the Yelp reviews with a grain of salt, because this place is MUCH better than the reviews would have you believe. For starters, the ambiance and decor are wonderful. We sat on the back patio and it was just like a Parisian cafe! Wrought iron chairs and tables with cute, rustic tablecloths. A nice canopy covered the sun and kept it cool. There were potted plants in the corner and lights strung up for the evening. The interior seemed like a formal living room. We all had the french onion soup for the first course. It is a bit salty, but not in a bad way. Lots of soft, big pieces of onion. Flavorful broth. Great Gruyere cheese and croutons, which are much easier to eat than a big hunk of bread. My sister and I had the beef bourguignon crepes which were fantastic. The beef was tender, and the vegetables really soaked up the sauce. There was a nice balance of meat and veggie. The side salad was great too, just the right amount (not skimpy as some reviews would day) with a nice amount of dressing too. My husband got the spicy coconut shrimp crepe, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The dessert crepe was amazing. We got the lemon curd with raspberry coulis. OMG. So incredible, fresh and soft, tart and sweet. We also shared the banana pudding, which was spectacular. Nice big chunks of banana with the creamy pudding and salty caramel and crumbly wafer. The service was not bad, just slightly slower, very European. Surprise surprise considering its a Parisian cafe! We had a 3 course, fresh cooked meal in an hour. Very reasonable. My only criticism is the prices. A bit steep. 17.50 each for the beef crepes and shrimp crepe too. For the shrimp, okay. The beef could have been cheaper. The desserts were 8.50, again a little pricey. Soups were 5 for a cup and 6.50 for a bowl. Not so high that I would never return, but I will plan my visits accordingly and would probably not be a regular customer. read more

They have a nice, classy, and relaxed dining environment here, with live music a nice back patio for those who want to dine outside. They have an extensive wine list but only 4 bottled beers - two French, one Belgian, and one Swiss. I tried their Kronenbourg 1664, which is not very common, and it was an ok lager. Wife had the spicy coconut shrimp crepe (it wasn't spicy) and I had their beef bourguignon crepe (like pot roast beef). Both were ok, but pricy at about $18 each. The service was also quite slow. An ok place for a nice but pricy venue in downtown Wheaton, and don't be in a hurry. read more

When coming here, definitely sit in the back patio. There is small garden fountain and large umbrellas :) We had the salmon & scallop crepe and the beef crepe, both were served with a delicious baby greens salad and were fantastic. I will certainly be back for their breakfast hours! read more

Nice selection of pastries, convenient location and friendly staff. In search of a new place to try cinnamon rolls (no luck) however we did carryout and tried a sampling from the counter on our first visit. The vanilla shortbread and cinnamon raisin pastry (both 4.5 stars) and cheesecake puff pastry garnished with raspberries (4 stars). read more

The service is impeccable. Every ingredient was fresh and tasty. The French atmosphere is quaint and cozy. I felt like I was in France.

This review is for Suzette's macarons. I haven't tried their other items yet but I would like to try several things off their menu. Kudos to Suzette's for making macarons by hand rather than using a machine. From the appearance, I liked how they were larger in size and imperfect in shape. The seasonal pumpkin even had an additional decoration on top. The texture was off though - the macarons were dry and crumbly. Since they are made from egg whites, this can easily happen if they are overcooked or if the temperature is too hot. I was really hoping for the flakey exterior and chewy goodness that I expect from a good macaron. Either way, I'll be back to try more of their items. It could just be that I had a bad batch. I like their creativity and the food looks great from the photos. read more

My friends and I went here with our daughters for Afternoon English Tea. Cost is almost $35/adult and $15/child under 12. You are served A LOT of food so come hungry! You're first given a choice of tea. A few of us ended up choosing the Jasmine orange green tea, but instead of giving us our own individual pot, they combined it into a large, shared one. Because of this, the tea became overbrewed and bitter quite quickly and we were unable to finish it. That's pretty much my biggest complaint about the place. Then comes an assortment of finger sandwiches. My absolute favorites were the cucumber sandwiches, chicken salad and smoked salmon. My friends also enjoyed the egg salad sandwich. We were also given berry scones afterwards served with Devonshire cream and jam. I totally wish I could take a jar of the Devonshire cream and just spread that on every baked good in my house! The big finale is dessert of your choice! I couldn't resist the apple pie a la mode when I saw a server serving it to another table... I had to get it! It was HUMONGOUS! While it looked delicious, it was personally too sweet for me and the apples were a bit too tart. It was still good though, just not the best apple pie I've ever had. I'd definitely come back again! Service was great, the ambiance was cute and the food was overall delicious. read more

What a lovely experience. This is the fourth time I come here and every time it gets better. The vanilla tea with cream and honey is smooth and buttery with a touch of golden sweetness. The scones with Devonshire cream And and lemon curd is absolutely delicious. We had a beef crepe that was rich and filled with flavor. Its a must. Their food here is amazing. It takes time to receive your food but everything is made from scratch. JENNY was an amazing waitress. read more

My sister, her two kids, and I stopped in for lunch while walking around downtown Wheaton. We were delighted that they were able to seat us at a table by the window. Our server was new but she was very attentive and absolutely delightful. I had the spicy coconut shrimp crepe which was amazing, and very filling. Only slightly spicy and covered in a creme sauce to die for. The side was a large salad with vinaigrette. The kids shared a croquet monsieur (which looked exactly like the one we ate in Paris) and a caprese sandwich on focaccia. They devoured both. Would definitely return. read more

Though their website says nothing about reservations, I highly recommend you make one given how inconveniently located they are. Parking in the area is horrendous. After walking four blocks in heels, we were frostily told that we should have made reservations as there were no more tables available. There was no offer to place us on a waiting list which was good because it appeared the restaurant had no AC or it wasn't on. We would have purchased some of their pastries, but we were clearly not welcome and in the way. I understand that places are short handed these days, but when you charge that much for food and have people willing to pay it, you have to realize there are plenty of other places for them to go. read more

We enjoy Suzette's several times a year but were disappointed recently. We always make a point of celebrating my wife's birthday here. It was ..... our tradition. When we made the reservation they asked about any special occasion and I told them her birthday. The last several years they brought a nice complimentary dessert. This year they offered nothing, didn't wish her happy birthday or anything. Not sure why they even ask about special occasions when you book. read more

The Gorgeous Blonde and I enjoyed dinner here. The French onion soup to start with a Manhattan, sole with potatoes, mushroom crepe, and for dessert the apple pie I have never had better. Excellent, prompt service, seems really clean, and tasteful jazz music. Lastly, when a guy was walking in to buy bakery goods along with his dog, the maitre'd asked that the dog remain outside. Restaurants are for humans, not dogs. I love dogs but if you have one, leave him at home when you are heading out for a meal. read more

Disappointing. After a long wait (and the restaurant wasn't full...) my eggs were bland and I had to add salt. Croque monseur was premade and obviously just warmed up in the oven. Completely dried and crispy with no actual bechamel. Waitress was sweet but seemed like she was taking care of a lot more than just her tables. read more

My experience here is nothing but 5 star. Friendly attentive service, wonderful relaxing atmosphere. Unique menu with lots of rich options as well as leaner choices. I enjoyed the goat cheese salad and French onion soup. Had Crepe Suzette with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Not sure how I feel about the dessert. It was very sweet and tasty but a little too much sauce on top and a bit messy to eat. But overall I enjoyed this date night with my hubby and we will be back to try more from the menu very soon. My husband had the pork chop and loved it. Next time I'll dive into the Beef Bourguignon savory crepe. We shared a bowl of chili and it was delicious (absolutely what we wanted on a frigid 1 degree night). read more

It's really a 4 star restaurant but with the reduced staffing, and therefore lack of proper service, I'm sticking with 3. A very busy Friday night and the waiter made sure to tell us that the kitchen was extremely busy. Not a problem as we had time and wanted to enjoy a drink with our group (6) anyway. It eventually became a bit of an issue after an hour when we realized we did have an event to get to. Reminding the waiter he did his best and the food did come out, albeit slowly, and at different times for all of us. It's generally agreed upon that a table should all eat at the same time, right? Anyway, we all got fed, made our concert and the waiter gave us a 10% discount for our trouble. Here's the thing, if you can't staff properly, which is an issue everyone is having, then don't book full let alone overbook! Good food, friendly help but I'll wait till next time to see about making it 4 stars. read more

we had a lovely brunch today. I had never been here before, and was so pleased with our experience! I enjoyed Suzette Benedict, which is essentially a cheese soufflé with ham and a light lemon sauce. The lemon sauce is not sweet, so the flavor was incredibly complimentary to the soufflé. It came with a light fruity salad. For dessert, we had an amazing chocolate creme brûlée. The restaurant was charming and our server (I think Will?) was extremely personable and helpful. I am already planning return visits! Loved it read more

We've been a handful of times for breakfast and for the odd pastry here and there. The last time we went, we were able to dine with the dog outside. I'm hoping that's still the case. The interior has a really interesting... intimate feel. If the Braddy Bunch had an episode where they went to their grandmother's house, I imagine this is what it'd look like. It's odd, I don't think I like sitting in a wing back chair to eat, but yet, I don't think I'd have it any other way. On weekends, when I'm up early and ready to make breakfast, I make French style eggs. Four eggs, a healthy knob of butter, on the stove, off the stove, constantly stirring. Throw in some creme freshe, plate nicely with some smoked salmon and chives, some bacon, bring it up to the girl for cartoons and breakfast in bed. However, when I can't be bothered to do it, Suzette's does the work for me. They're pretty consistently good with them, however when the place is busy, I've noticed they tend to get served a bit over cooked. Wetter than your usual breakfast place's eggs, but lacking the smooth, creamy, velvety texture their eggs have when they're on their A game. Service has always been excellent. We always leave pleasantly satisfied. read more

So disappointed. For the price of the Christmas tea, there was not enough food. When we asked for more sandwiches etc., the only part you can ask for more, we were told it was all gone. It seems, even though they know how many people have pre booked, that there is only a certain amount of food prepared and when it is gone it is gone. Not acceptable. The wait time is outrageous. As an English person, I am comfortable saying that this tea is nothing like an English tea. In addition, the tea tasted like water. The English scones are ridiculously small as is all the food. If you want an English tea I would recommend trying somewhere else. read more

I want there with my family for a breakfast and it was a great, but for a family of four, you're talking about 120 to 140 for breakfast that's a little bit expensive. Other than that everything was awesome. read more

Best Christmas Tea around - we go every year and it just keeps getting better. Food is delicious and the Christmas china is gorgeous. My favorites are the pumpkin cider bisque, the cucumber finger sandwiches and the scones with clotted cream and lemon curd. But really, it is all yummy. There are three courses - bisque with tea sandwiches, scones and then a dessert buffet. I had the lavender tea today and it was delicious. There is also a pianist which adds to the already charming atmosphere. read more

Overpriced crepes and the orange juice claimed to be fresh squeezed when it was clearly Minute Maid. The lighting was very dim which would be good for dinner but not brunch. Looks like the crowd is 60 and over. read more

We came in just for champagne but quickly picked up a conversation with the bartender and had a huge learning experience he knew so much about everything we had questions about. We did not eat but I can't wait to Go back and try their breakfast read more

This is a favorite. The service is outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive and on top of things. A consistent theme with this place. The food is well worth the drive and the extra calories. There aren't too many places I can say that about. The restaurant is clean, elegant yet comfortable and welcoming. Oh! And at 2PM, they served us FRESH coffee. read more

I have been here twice in the past 1 month... Love the coconut shrimp crepes that I ordered the first time. The second time I ordered the beef. While it tasted good, the coconut shrimp is still my favorite. Had their raspberry cake dessert which is done to perfection... not too sweet and enough tartness. Next, I will have to try their tea time. Will be back!! read more

Sweet, charming, cozy perfection. We'll be back for more crepes--there are so many to try after all! We went here as first timers for my birthday and had a gloriously delicious time. Perfect date night. Cheers! read more

I came into Suzette's with my wife and adult daughter. The, I think owner, was a bit grumpy and didn't want us to be seated in the dining room. She seated us in the lobby. If we wanted a pot of tea we would have to go out side. No one was currently out there. I had a feeling that this was a good push off. Not a happy place. We've been to Suzette's a few times before, but this was a bad vibe. I'm not going back. read more

I went for the Christmas tea, which began at 2:30pm. We arrived at 2:10pm, hoping to stay inside and wait as it was cold out, but were told to go to another store as they were not ready for us. They really tried to shoo us out the door, which I found rather unwelcoming. We had come an hour drive to attend the tea and were excited about it. The tea itself was lovely but $34.99 is too expensive for what we got. It was more of a $20 tea. They did offer second and thirds on the finger sandwiches but I've been to $30 teas where your table gets it's own tray of foods; the waiting on the server style made it feel like the delicate food was being rationed! The tea itself was very fragrant and delicious but, again, we were not given our own tea pot and had to wait on the server to notice if our cups were empty. Considering reservations must be made for the Christmas tea, it makes little sense to me that each table cannot have its own refillable tea pot and tray of foods, especially for the price. I don't think I'd go back or recommend it to anyone. Lower the price or up the quality and hospitality and I think you'd gain more loyal customers. read more

I brought my 8 year old daughter for the Christmas Tea. She had a wonderful time. The servers were very attentive. They saw to it we have what we need although the place was a full house. The food presentation is great! But The food were just good and not exemplerary. They offered the first course, sandwiches, multiple times. They had good variety. I was surprised that they only served two pieces of scones, one with regular size and another one in smalle size. The cream is close to butter instead of the clotted cream. Other than that, I would recommend this place to try an afternoon tea for first timer. Though, I would not return any time soon and planning to just try a different afternoon tea. read more

Perfect room and service and adequate appetizers but the "special" duck confit and leg of lamb suffer the same indignity of being very over cooked and genuinely in appetizing. The good new is the desserts were a good recovery. Want to love it but specials should be just that. read more

When our usual Christmas tea venue was closed due to Covid, I took to the internet to find a way to keep an annual tradition alive and was excited to find Suzette's! Everything sounded great and they offered carry-out tea which was perfect for our group. My friend called on two separate occasions with questions as we formalized our virtual tea plans and was informed by the staff that the pricing on the website ($34.50+tax) was the price for the Tea for Two...even clarifying with the staff members that the total for two sets of tea was $34.50+tax. She proceeded to place the order and we were excited to include our children this year since we would be creating this experience at home. She was not given a total and told to pay when picking up. I volunteered to pick up the order and it was a very busy Saturday morning; obviously, this is a popular local establishment. After peering in the door, I waited outside to allow for patrons to clear the entryway. The entrance leads to a bakery counter to the left and there were several masked guests waiting to order ( all standing within 3ft of one another); being pregnant, I did not feel comfortable entering until the line had subsided and I could approach the hostess stand without a crowd. Upon requesting my pick up order I was handed the bags and I provided my credit card. When I was asked to sign, this is the first time I saw the total (well over $300) and when I questioned the staff member,  she advised that 'that was what was ordered....4 orders of tea for two'. Patrons continued to crowd into the entryway behind me and to my right was a dining room full of unmasked customers having tea (both of which made me very uncomfortable given the current pandemic), so I decided to leave and clarify with my friend who placed the order. Needless to say, it appears the staff who answered calls/took the order was not properly educated on the pricing (had she provided accurate information, we would have ordered 2 orders of tea for two as the children did not require 'full' orders) and, unfortunately, my friend has tried to contact this business several times and received the promise that the owner would return her call...but the owner has failed to do so.  For anyone who is reading this review trying to find clarity on the price for Tea for Two; take note it is $75+tax. I am giving this business a one star review based on the fact that it is apparent that customer service is not a priority (it should not take over a week to call back a customer who has tried to reach you several times). Upon walking in, many of the bakery items looked delcious, but I am very disappointed to say that I will not be returning nor recommending this business. read more

This little restaurant in Wheaton is such a pleasure. Lovely ambiance, elegant bar, and such great food. When I'm just passing through, the take-out bakery is among the best. A scone from Suzette's is true to its origins--no skimping on batter nor raisings, and no overdoing on sugar. read more

So, we're still wandering the area and getting to know our surroundings. We wanted to go to yet a new place for breakfast! The boy saw this as we were driving by and we though crepes might be a nice change! It's seems quite basic inside with mismatched tables and chairs. It didn't feel like a warm, upbeat breakfast place though. Looking at the menu and with some advice from our server, we opted to share a couple of crepes. We started with the Banana Nutella Crepe with chocolate hazelnut spread on a warm crepe with sliced bananas and whipped cream on the side. It was exactly what it said it would be! Basic, yet good. I don't know that it was necessarily work $8.50 though. We finished with Suzette's Benedict which is a toasted Brioche with sliced Ham, three-cheese soufflé, and gruyere cheese baked topped with Lemon Cream Sauce. This takes like 25 min. to make, so we had time to eat the first one before it came out and then waited a bit. It was good and cheesy! Super hot though! We had to wait longer for it to cool so as not to burn our faces off! Now... $13.50... It was good, just... The boy had a soda, which came in a can. We really dislike when places do this. It's way cheaper to go with a soda fountain. The problem is that people don't want the hassle of keeping it clean. Paying $2.00 for a can of coke is ridiculous! Our server was super nice. This was a little hoity toity of a place for our tastes. It was nice to try, but we won't be back. We can get crepes that are just as good at other places that have a warmer atmosphere. read more

Went for French Tea and the experience felt more like a late lunch rather than a high tea. Portions were plenty- I could only eat half of everything. The spinach crepe was amazing, the scones were blah, and the dessert you got to choose anything. I got the Apple and caramel crepes and they were very sweet and just okay. Wish they had a few more tea options as well. I would come back for regular lunch sometime, otherwise the tea experience isn't very special and I'd give that part only 3 stars. read more

Based on a recommendation, three of us went to Suzette's for Sunday brunch. The restaurant was only moderately crowded. We received brunch menus and ordered. To say the service was leisurely is an understatement -- it took nearly an hour to prepare our food, during which time we were allowed to select one tiny croissant or brioche. When the food came, the dishes didn't include a green salad, which was clearly stated on the menu as coming with the dish. When we asked our server, she said the salad wasn't included with brunch, only lunch. We pointed out that the brunch menu disagreed, and she only shrugged. Although we hadn't enough time left to order dessert (who knows how long that would have taken!) we decided to order something from their small bakery. We stood at the bakery counter for about ten minutes while servers passed by without so much as a nod. We gave up and left. This experience was as close to a rip-off as you're likely to get in Wheaton. The food was good, but not great. The prices, considering the amount and quality are outrageous. When three people cough up $70 for brunch, you expect excellence, not mediocrity and very bad service. If it weren't for the reasonably good food, it would be one star or less. read more

The idea of this restaurant is wonderful and charming. The food is good ( not great) and over priced. We decided as a group to order dessert. Went to the case to choose a four dollar dessert. When The bill came we were charged eight dollars. They put the desert on a plate, sprinkled it with powdered sugar and doubled the price. Ridiculous! You're better off getting your pastry to go! read more

Delicious, delicious, delicious food! My husband and I came to eat for our wedding anniversary today and we had a great time. Our server was especially courteous and he was sophisticated. The food was unbelievably yummy. My husband is originally from France, so he was very impressed with the food as well. The restaurant is very cozy, clean and very cute. It's in the heart of downtown Wheaton. read more

Went for a baby shower! Over impressed- but this is perhaps because I came in for a delicious and delightful baby shower that took place in a private room. My cousin did all the decorating- but the decor itself is 'just adorable.' A piano in the corner, vases with fresh flowers, table settings with vintage tea cups and plates. After my cousin looked for 4 spots for her sister's baby shower to be absolutely perfect- she fell in love with Suzette's Creperie located conveniently in downtown Wheaton. Jasmine tea was my favorite but so many were available like black and lavender teas. Service was great- water cups were never empty and our tea cups were staying full. We had a 3 course meal featuring 5 mini- sandwiches presented on the plate. Then we received two scones with lemon curd and a cheese. For dessert we were offered to chose 1 from 7 types and they were huge entree sizes. I had the best tasting creme brûlée. It was the best baby shower I have ever been to because of the delicious eats and service provided. I hope to return again and maybe try a crepe. read more

Although they can boast pretty delicious fare, the service here is some of the worst around. Basically nothing but 19-20yos and the slowest, most inattentive bar service you'll ever receive. The spinach crepe is phenomenal, to the point I'd be back weekly if I didn't have to suffer the idiocy of the staff. Perhaps to go macaroons would be easy if they weren't so overpriced... reminder: its a coo read more
