Excellent crepes. Great combos. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and GF knowledgeable. Great experience!
Love this place. Crêpes are made fresh and oh sooo good. Have eaten here several times with no issue.
Yum. Had the Nutella/banana crepe and it was so good. They assured me they wipe down the cooktop, put parchment paper on the surface and use fresh utensils. Can’t wait to go again.

i'm not kidding when i say this: these crepes are literally THE best ever! i have celiac - and am very easily symptomatic - and i have eaten here for two days in a row with absolutely no symptoms! they are very knowledgeable and while they do not have a dedicated crepe griddle, they wipe it down very very well! would recommend both the sweet and savory crepes.
This is a place I loved before needing to eat gluten free and I finally decided to try their gluten free version! It was so delicious!! I went first thing when they opened, so nothing was contaminated yet. They did seem very knowledgeable, though, and I felt safe eating there. The website says to call ahead for gf, but that is outdated, and I was told they always have gf batter.
This was a terrific place to eat. The crepes were so delicious and devoid of gluten. The savory and sweet flavors were superb. My wife who is a celiac had no worries eating here.
All crepes can be made gluten free. I tried both a savory one and a sweet one. They were delicious! It was so great to feel like I could eat “normally” for a change! Highly recommend! There was a short wait for the sweet dessert crepe because they clean the crepe maker before making the GF crepe.
They can make almost any crepe gluten free!! Just ask their employee and he’ll help you. They taste amazing as well, if you have a sweet tooth I recommend the Valentin it’s so delicious!!
This is such a cute little place. They got lots of different crepes. All can be made gf with their gf batter except for 1 of them.
Although there was a bit of a wait, it was totally worth the time. The menu is simple but the food is amazing! I wish I’d found this place sooner!!
There are very few seats to expect a wait. But it is worth it gluten-free crepes are the best I have had in America. I ordered the valentine and it was exquisite. Definitely best breakfast place for gluten free
I have been here twice now and both times have been amazing! I’m pretty sensitive and have not been glutened. I think everything or almost everything on the menu can be made with gluten free batter and the only crepe I think you would have to modify is the s’mores one (just needs no Graham crackers). I have had herb chicken, L’Ocean, and La Reve. I will definitely be coming back again!
One of my favorite places to eat! I have been here on numerous occasions and never had a problem. The staff is very friendly and the crepes are filling, it is a small place downtown and they have somewhat odd hours so I’d recommend checking that they are open before going, but if you are looking for a tasty treat this is the place to go!
Food was amazing. The owners were also amazing. Great conversation, friendly, knowledgeable. If we lived in Iowa City, this would be a go to for us.
The menu isn't clear, but order the gluten-free crepes, not the buckwheat crepes. The batters are different, and they don't try to make the buckwheat crepes GF. They do clean the griddles before cooking GF crepes. Everything I've had here has been excellent.
Not recommended for Celiacs or people with an allergy. Crepes are delicious and I really wish they would be more careful. I ate there twice but got sick the second time. I think the chef used the same spatula on my GF crepe as on the regular one he was making the same time. Also, I don't think the griddles can be thoroughly cleaned.
Sorry Crepes de Luxe, I don't recommend you.
Multiple reviews say it's gluten free and celiac friendly. But griddle used is same which clearly cross contamination. Tested it with Nima gluten sensor and showed low gluten. My advice would be to avoid this place for people with celiac disease.
excellent gluten free option for lunch or dinner as well as dessert crepes
Delicious crepes. Excellent gluten free batter. They cleaned the griddle and changed utensils and gloves which is important for true celiac (we just deal with gluten sensitivity).
It was easy to eat gluten free here. It is wise to call ahead if you are planning to eat GF here, as it does take some time to prepare for it, but I wouldn't say it took more than 10 or 15 minutes total. Very tasty and safe.
Absolutely delicious! It is a challenge to find GF crepes but this place has it down! You can watch your food being made and the chef cleans the entire working surface before making GF crepes and doesn't cook wheat crepes right next to yours.
Great options, knowledgeable staff:) the food was amazingly tasteful! I had the Herb Chicken and Crepe du Chef!!! I will definitely eat here again!
We had a fabulous birthday dinner here for my wife. The café is intimate and warm. The chef and his server we're inviting as we arrived. They were more than accommodating when we asked for gluten-free crepes and they were fabulous, both savory and sweet. I can't not highly recommend this out of the way jewel!
We so enjoyed delicious healthy crepes! We watched as they were made :D The owner is very conscious of gluten allergies and cross contamination! He made the crepes into a piece of art!
Really great food! We were just there and the owner told us that if you're wanting a gf crepe, it's best to call ahead and let them know. They have to make the batter and it's best if it sits out an hour or so. The creeps are so wonderful!
Amazing food. All crepes can be made gluten-free. You can watch the chef prepare your meal. Great atmosphere and value!
