Review of Crepe Haus + El Compadre

This restaurant is amazing! I highly recommend!!!

My children and I are gluten and dairy free, but that’s not the only reason why we love this restaurant. (Not celiac but we’re sensitive)

The service is wonderful. Always so friendly and helpful.

The food is DELICIOUS and SO full of flavor! I haven’t eaten a bad dish yet and I’ve tried many. Everyone we’ve brought or recommend go have said the same thing.

The restaurant is clean and we enjoy the ambiance with the beautiful resin tables and the pretty sunset mural on the walls. I also personally love the living plants.

The owner Al has brought our food to us multiple times and is always willing to talk and listen about how our experience is going and if there is anything they can improve.

The first time I ate there the server accidentally marked I had a soy allergy. The owner came over to verify since the dish I ordered had a dressing with soy. So caring!

I asked him if he could make a GF/DF elephant ear and he said YES! He said he could make a gluten free chimichanga! Just that it would take more time (I’m assuming because he’s making the tortilla from scratch).

I asked if he could make a GF/DF fried ice cream and he said he could if he could find a supply of dairy free ice cream.

He’s so willing to listen to suggestions for what his patrons are looking for.

In our conversation with the owner he said they have 5 different vegan cheese options, dairy free sour cream, a vegan chocolate sauce and gluten free Oreos.

Their gluten free crepe batter is chickpea and potato flour/starch. There is an up charge for GF crepes.

They can make gluten free corn chips too for chips and salsa! So I’m assuming they have a dedicated gluten free fryer.

They are willing to make accommodations for any allergies or dietary preferences. And not just excluding something, but making substitutions so you’re dish is still enjoyable and delicious.

I have been gluten free for 8 years and dairy free for 4. This is the first restaurant I’ve eaten at in the tri cities where I feel normal. I don’t have to have a salad with all these cheese, croutons and dressing removed. Im not limited to just a meat and veggie with no sauce. Or a burger with almost everything delicious missing. I don’t have to watch everyone else eat dessert while I get none. My children dont feel like they’re missing out.

At Crepe Haus & El Compadre were just normal diners. We’re not the odd ones out, and everyone enjoys their dinner. We fit in. And we’re made to feel like we aren’t a burden or asking too much.

It’s so refreshing.

While the restaurant is a little off the beaten path, it is not difficult to get to and is right off the main road. It’s in Kennewick off columbia center blvd by the Highway 240 interchange.

If you haven’t tried them yet, I highly recommend you do! You will not regret it!
