Probably wouldn’t return. Cook was sweet, but crepe had zero flavor. Very pricey also.

Ordered gluten-free crêpes. Two different varieties, they were both delicious. Ordered caramel lattes, they were delicious. Small mom and pop shop would definitely recommend

Sorry to say but this place is hit or miss when it comes to being celiac safe. There is no dedicated kitchen for gluten free. The crepe "pan" is simply wiped off between orders of gluten crepes and non gluten crepes. Also, when the food preparer touches gluten crepes and then touches the ingredients, cross contact will occur. Even preparing the two mixes in the same kitchen will cause cross contact. This place is good for gluten sensitive persons only. I got a 24 hour stomach ache.

Ate here when in town visiting my parents. Had the large size which is huge. Snack size would have been plenty! You can get whatever fillings you want in the GF crepe. I got a breakfast crepe that was just fantastic with eggs bacon guacamole mozzarella. Wish I had room for a dessert crepe but that will have to wait until next time. Great little place. I have celiac and did not get sick. Just had to take a nap after eating that huge yummy crepe.

Please ignore Kathryn. She sounds like a fad loving "gluten sensative"that doesnt understand our disease. Gluten is not a bacteria, you cant cross contaminate. Gluten does not touch other surfaces then grows. The problem is cross-CONTACT. Gluten foods have to directly touch other foods AND the gluten has to actually leave the bread. That only happens if some of the food itself is left behind like as a crumb or liquid.

The bottom line is unless theirs crumbs on your hands you cant touch a bread then touch everything else and everything else is now all "glutened"

it just doesn't work that way!

Excellent GF savory & sweet crepes! Small place, but cozy. Suggest calling ahead if party of more than 4. Good system of ordering & delivering. Can be hard to find. In very small plaza right on Tamiami Trail. Highly recommend especially for Celiac's.

they clean the cooking surface and change gloves but what's the point if all the toppings are covered in gluten??? I watched him make crapes for other people touching the flour and then touching all the toppings. So I asked the guy if he would pull from fresh toppings kind of like chipotle does and he refused. So we left.

The food was so delicious. The owner made all the crepes right in front of us. He made the gluten free ones first and with fresh gluten free batter. The kids loved the crepes and are begging for us to go back tomorrow.

They were delicious! The chef was very much on top of her Celiac game! The gluten free crapes had their own utensils which were rested in a separate designated spot when not in use. There was only one burner for all the crapes which made me nervous but she scrubbed it between uses and between that and her attention to detail to prevent cross contamination I was assured she would take care of us. Overall it was an excellent experience! Loved it!

Amazing! They use a mixture made with rice flour and have separate and clean cooking utensils and a griddle. Nearly every item on the menu can be made GF. My husband and I had Thee Elvis and an egg and sausage crepe and both were absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend if you're in the area!

This is my new favorite place on the planet. We had a triple berry gf crepe with Nutella and a ham and egg gf. Both were amazing. My gluten-eating mother shared with me and said both we fantastic. We can't wait to go back again! The chef and her daughter were very gluten cautious and made sure to clean everything for us. Luckily it was a slow morning so we didn't hold anyone up. It would probably be better to call first to make sure they have a clean station ready to go. Overall an excellent experience!

Excellent place. They do offer GF crepes! I learned that they are very knowledgable of cross contamination. For my order they thoroughly cleaned one of the crepe cook plates, surrounding area, and utensils. I ordered the Nutella and Strawberry crepe which was such a treat! No bad reactions after! The also showed me that they have a dedicated cook plate that they can pull out at any time with advance notice. If you call ahead they can pull it out, warm up and have ready (avoiding the cleaning in the others). They are all very accommodating and caring and their menu is amazing. I hope to return a couple times in the coming week. The BLT or Tomato Cheese will be calling my name.
