| - I came here twice during my visit to Toronto be because its location is so convenient, and my sister and I did not know where else to go.
The restaurant itself is cozy. The seats were pretty comfortable, and the ambience wasn't bad. It seems like a place that many teenagers would hang out at.
The food was okay, and the menu seemed simple. It was long, don't get me wrong, but everything seemed pretty much the same, just tweaked a little bit. The first time I came, I didn't have a sweet crêpe, which I really wish I would have gotten. However, I felt pressured to order right away, so I went with the Spinach, Feta, and Egg Crêpe. The first bite was great. It tasted pretty amazing, but the more I ate, the less tasty it became. I also ordered the Café Crêpe Signature Nutella Martini, which was made with Frangelico, Kahlua, Baileys, Nutella, and milk. I actually enjoyed it, even though I usually don't like chocolate and alcohol. I tried some of my sister's soup, which was a Thai inspired soup, and that was pretty delicious. It tasted kind of like Tom Yum soup, but creamier. I don't know what it was, but it was great.
The second time I ate here, I did get a sweet crêpe. I ordered the Nutella and Hazelnut and added Bananas. Our server asked if I wanted whipped cream or ice cream, so I went with the whipped cream, but that was kind of a mistake. I'm sure most people love it, but I didn't think they went well together. Again with this crêpe, it tasted awesome at first, but with each additional bite, it just got boring to me. I had to try so hard to finish it. My sister got a soup again, but this time is was a Mediterranean soup. Seriously, again, that soup was pretty amazing, but that shouldn't be the highlight of our meals, since this is Café Crêpe, after all..
Our first server was attentive for the most part. When we were seated, she seemed to hover, coming back several times before we were ready to order. That's why I felt pressured to order right away. She checked up on us a few times during our meal, but after we were finished, she didn't come back to ask us if we were ready for the check. This kind of bothered me a little but because I saw her just standing there. My cousin had to call her over to grab us the check. But then again, I'm not from Canada, so I don't know if this is how it works here, or if this is just how she was. Our second server was very nice, but did not give the impression of being fake. There was nothing wrong with her service, and she was so pleasant.
Overall, Café Crêpe is a cute place that I probably will come back to if I'm in the area. I hope by then, they'll improve on their crêpes and maybe have more of a selection!
