I come here all the time. Staff is knowledgable and takes care to avoid cross-contamination. Fried chicken and crepes can all be made GF and are delicious. They don’t to GF waffles because they can’t fully clean the waffle maker, and the fact that they know that makes me feel even better about eating here.
I have visited several times and never had a reaction. They have a delicious menu with several flavor options!
We had gf version of a sweet and a savory crepe. Selected the choose your own option for the savory with ham (thinly sliced meat), egg, mushrooms, onions, and Swiss cheese. It came with two gf sauces on the side. The sweet one had Nutella, bananas, and strawberries. We also tried the fried chicken side and that came with a spicy syrup and house sauce too. I was doubtful about the safety since there isn’t a dedicated crepe cooking surface and there is potential for cross contamination, but the kitchen was knowledgeable and did well cleaning the crepe maker. Everything was delicious and the handling of the prep and cooking was successful - no problems! Chicken was super juicy on the inside and had a delicious crispy coating. The side sauces were great accompaniments. Looking forward to try some more varieties.

Verified that they have separate prep areas and safety protocols to avoid cross contact. All staff takes great care to keep us safe.
Excellent gluten-free crepes and chicken! Separate cooktop for crepes and chicken is strictly gluten-free so no risk of cross-contamination with the fryer.
First time I've had crepes since being diagnosed. The people were very friendly and crepes were tasty. Didn't have any reactions.
Hands down will be coming here again very soon. The fried chicken is NATURALLY gluten free. They also have a dedicated gluten free crepe maker!!!!!! The sauce for dipping chicken is also safe :) The workers were sooo kind!! Go here if you have celiac disease.
If this place delivered to my house, I would have a serious crepe addiction 😅
Staff is always super pleasant and wonderful, the GF crepes and the fried chicken are amazingly delicious, and I love their dips! I hope Irina's never goes out of business and they open up more shops!!
The strawberry banana Nutella is always my favorite, but I also really enjoy their savory crepes!
I love their fried chicken and they always make GF crepes that don't poison me. So good! 😋 I would absolutely recommend this place. Plus, the staff is always so nice.
I got diagnosed with Celiacs about 2 years ago, I haven’t ordered fried chicken or had a crepe since. I called to ask them about their GF process and the staff was so knowledgeable about GF & cross-contamination. They ensured me they switch utensils, use different batter, and sanitize their equipment when preparing a GF order. Their fried chicken is already gluten free and I enjoyed EVERY bite without any worries! They also confirmed when picking up there was no cross-contamination. THANK YOU to Irina’s crepes. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken Crepe (which I had prior to my Celiacs diagnosis) and the fried chicken. I am so happy I can have delicious food again!
We ordered chicken tenders and a savory crepe. Delicious, and the restaurant has a lot of experience preparing gluten free.
I love this place. Cozy atmosphere and extremely generous and attentive workers. You can get almost any crepe gluten free, I’m sensitive celiac and have never been glutened here. I try something different every time I go, and have never been disappointed. The chicken fingers are breaded in corn meal and corn starch, and fried in a dedicated fryer!
Absolutely amazing, the staff was knowledgeable, kind and super helpful! The chicken fingers and all the crepes are to die for, I can’t wait to come back.
What a gem! The crepes are delicious! The establishment is clean and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There's a good choice of savoury and sweet meals. The chicken tenders are safe too, they coat them here and use proper meat not pressed processed stuff. Soooo good. They properly clean down to ensure GF safe. I couldn't be happier.
Delicious gluten free crepes! They clean the crepe maker and use separate utensils.
I’ve never had a crepe before, since I was diagnosed gf before I had tried one. Oh My Gosh. I had the spicy turkey with cheddar and mushroom and this was the BEST thing I’ve eaten in a while. Perfect breakfast. Perfect place, loved how sweet the staff were.
If you are looking for crepes you MUST go to this place. DELICIOUS!! So many choices! It is by far the best we have ever had. Highly recommend. Staff was very friendly and had great customer service!
Don’t wait to try this place! Great food, relaxed atmosphere, super friendly staff, & didn’t get sick!
Absolutely amazing GF crepes! Our large family tried many flavors including the fried chicken, strawberry jam, strawberry banana Nutella, peanut butter banana, smoked salmon, goat cheese and peaches and cream! Totally worth the cost, it was delicious!
My coworker found this place and took me as a surprise. Found out they started their GF menu because of a regular of theirs. And they took that information and created an amazing gf crepe and it’s safe! I have severe celiac and cross contamination is huge for me. Paul and James were both kind and friendly, and created a delicious crepe for me! Cannot wait to come back!
The crepes are amazing! They wash the grill before gluten free orders if you tell them you have Celiac Disease. I’ve eaten here at least one time a week for over a year now and never gotten sick. Highly recommend eating here! The owner Irina is really a gem of a woman as well, we look forward to seeing her as part of our experience here every week!
*non-celiac but significant intolerance*
What a gem of a place. I love their crepes and chicken tenders, I’ve eaten here many times and have never felt ill. I try to stop by every time I’m nearby. So yummy!
SO SO YUMMY! i have been coming to this place for 6 years and have never had an issue here (and i am a very sensitive celiac). I always do the build your own crepe and you honestly cannot go wrong with any of the crepe flavors! the best breakfast spot in the area for gf folks. try it if you are gf!!!
Happy to have GF fried chicken. I had the cheese crêpe with fried chicken. The chicken is in a fish-style batter. Crêpe is eggy and slightly sweet. Spicy syrup is a game-changer. A safe option. I would try again, maybe a different flavor to see if I liked it better.
I just moved to MD and knew I needed to try some GF crepes! I had both a savory and sweet crepe and both were delicious! Highly recommend for anyone with Celiac!
Irina’s Crepes is an amazing place for those with gluten allergies! Staff is super friendly and helpful with any questions. They have delicious savory and sweet gf crepes as well as gluten free fried chicken. The waffles are not gluten free due to there only being one maker, but the crepes can be made gf! I love the fancy fried chicken crepe with the yummy gf fried chicken!
Wonderful little place… expensive but worth it! Tell them you have celiac disease and they say “Yes, all gluten free” 🤗 anything but the waffles. Got the Reuben and cheesy Philly.. YUM
I explained that I had Celiac and they took extra precautions to clean the grill, all utensils, prep surfaces and changed gloves. The spicy Turkey crepe was excellent!
Never ate crepes before, so nothing to compare to. I got the strawberry banana Nutella one that was made gluten free. Make sure you specify you need gluten free. The food was so good. Will definitely be going back.
The best gluten free crepes you can get!!! Do go if you’re celiacs and want to try crepes. 100% worth it!
Wonderful new place for my son with celiac. We ordered a side of gluten free fried chicken, The Bob, and the Cheesey Steak. They cleaned the grill and changed gloves multiple times. There were very knowledgeable and understanding of what was needed to keep my son safe. Everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.
GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN!!!! I came here and got the Tuscan chicken crepe which was lovely. Upon figuring out the fried chicken was gluten free I had to order a side. It was delicious!!! I’ve only ordered fried chicken out twice places rarely have it!!
Irina and her crepes were amazing. We had 6 different crepes, both savory and sweet. All of them were fantastic and safe for all the Celiacs in our group. When we are back in the area this will be our first stop!!
Great GF crepes for breakfast, lunch or snack. Very friendly staff. I drive 15 minutes to get here.
Gf crepes are amazing!! They thoroughly cleaned the “stove” before making my crepe and we’re very careful! I got Nutella with bananas and strawberries and it was delicious:)
Knowledgeable. Food was great. Everything can be made GF except waffles.
It's been a long time since I've had a crepe and this place was awesome. They warned me that my crepe would take an extra minute so they could sanitize the equipment- totally worth it. Can't wait to go back.
My son and I had ham & cheese crepes which were fantastic. Hubby had the Reuben. Daughter got berry royale. All were amazing. All crepes can be made gluten free. Waffles cannot, but such amazing crepes it's okay.
I love this place so much, I’m celiac and extremely sensitive, but i’ve never gotten sick here, i’ve watched the guy clean everything and it’s one of my favourites!!
So so good! One of the best GF crepes I’ve had! I had the sweet. Hubby had the savory. Both great. Did not get sick! The staff was kind, knowledgeable and friendly.
Delicious gluten free crepes. They will clean the work surface first if you tell them you have allergy. Food is amazing!!
Irina and her staff were such lovely people. My boyfriend and I went here every morning of our vacation and the staff was super thorough about making sure there was no cross contamination. I wish they had something like this closer to where I lived.
Love it here. I have celiac disease and have never gotten sick. They take extra precautions and the food is delicious.
Really delicious food in a small friendly cafe. GF Crepes are cooked on the same surface as regular crepes but the crepe maker is cleaned in between and gloves changed. You can watch them taking precautions in front of you.
The gluten-free crapes are absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and the staff is very friendly
While there was not a separate kitchen she basically has the next best thing- cleaning the equipment before use - using new gloves and was very cautious. Would recommend!
The crepes are absolutely delicious. The best I’ve had! They also cleaned all equipment prior to making the crepes. 👌🏼
