Went for a breakfast, it was a bad experience
Requested extra syrup because the crepe needed more syrup but they refused saying that it is expensive and there is no way to charge for it in their system!!! It was a very bad experience and the cook was mean and impaciente! The food couldn’t be finished
As to the egg cheese croissant sandwich it was good

It’s places like this that make me doubt the restaurant review system. I don’t understand how it could have only four stars —I’ve been coming here for years and the food is always amazing. The croissants are perfectly flakey —I highly recommend the croissant breakfast sandwich. Anything you get here will rival what you get at a Parisian cafe.

Authentic french crepe. Giant cup of mocha and hot chocolate
UPDATE 11/2023: The food quality is not as great as before. Smaller portion and the food has burned marks.

Staff is friendly, food is good, but they REQUIRE that you place the order online or through the app ( which doesn’t exist at least searching the iPhone App Store). Online is clunky, requiring email in two places, phone number, jumps around from screen to screen, then shunts you to join “Square” app to pay. Tiny tiny print difficult to read on the phone; clumsy thumbs led to one incorrect cc digit and I had to start over. Poor staff member, says everyone yells at him about the unmanageable app but there is no mechanism to place the order in person. I was persistent yesterday but today I finally gave up and left.

The food is mediocre. But the service is soooooo bad that I actually felt uncomfortable. The waiter looked incredibly put out when we asked for basic things like; cleaning the table or water refills. Finally, I was told that they had “run out” of iced tea when I asked for a refill. I would never, ever return here even though the atmosphere sitting outside was quite nice. The service is just so incredibly horrible that I don’t understand how they are still in business. They have you add a tip when placing your order (of course, otherwise tips would all be reflective of service), which is another clue. Skip this place and give a different restaurant your business!

Crepes are pretty bad (2 stars) - we had different sweet and savory options and all were undercooked, as you are eating the dough, but also I think the ingredients are not high quality. This was first visit after 4-5 years and the quality went significantly down. Scrambled eggs and bacon were ok, but not worth coming back.
