Amazing, savory and sweet crepes. A casual place with four star food.

Great deal and food. About $11 for the CC1 combo, add $0.50 for a fountain drink. You get two crêpes (one meal and one desert) which are more than enough. Macaroons are kind of expensive for their size and taste.
(5)Zoe L.
Each dish tastes fresh while the flavor is full. I will be back to devour the entire menu, one croissant at a time. The macaroons are perfect- I only wish they didn't ever being on my plate!

I love crepes more than anything but this was a huge disappointment. The service was so slow and then they got our order wrong. After that, they argued with us about our order!! So rude! When they finally realized they were wrong, they cooked us one more crepe. Worst crepe I've ever had - and I've had A LOT.
(1)Mia G.
I really enjoyed my "Paris", unfortunately my boyfriend's Croquet Monsieur was a really sad excuse for a Croquet. C'mon, guys, I KNOW you can do better than that. It's more than just a ham sandwich. I'll come back though... and eat all the crepes. Sweet girl at checkout too- that is always appreciated.

Loved it! Came at 9:15 - we had the whole place to ourselves. Ordered the Strawberry N, Brie Croissant, & Quiche Lorraine. The owner was our order taker, chef, and server. I read previous reviews commenting on the music, and decor - I thought it was all great! (Not sure if someone informed the owner of the yelp comments but it appears he's made changes - menu at entrance and seating/open area off to the side) There were cute clean tables and chairs and ENIGMA playing over the speakers! I will def be back and hope to update my review to 5 stars!

I love this place! I make it a point to stop in every time I'm in town and am never disappointed. The meringues and croissants are also quite delicious, and the people working there are always so very nice.

I have waited to give this place a review for the longest. I tried the place 4 times. I usually get the strawberry N (strawberry Nutella. Every time I have ordered the crepes were so SOGGY. Towards finishing the dessert the crepe has a consistency of a fettuccine noodle. The crepes are also stuffed really thin and are not filling even for a dessert. All of the crepe places in Paris, Japan, LA, Charelston, that I have had crepes in were given to me in a cone shaped paper and they never got soggy even with whipped cream put into them. Also there are hardly any varieties. They all are a combo of Nutella, a chocolate sauce, and fruit. All of the places I have been to have freshly whipped cream topping. Maybe if u have never been to a crepe place or a Good creperie then this place may be for you.
(1)Maria S.
Had a good brunch here. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars was the 'greeting' when we arrived at the counter to order was surely 'less than' welcoming. They sort of ignored us standing there for the longest time and spoke to someone standing behind us as if we were not standing there ready to order. BUT, that being said, we had the following crepes between us all: Paris, Italy, Turkey, Nutella/Banana, Classic. The food was very filling on the savory crepes and the only one we wish maybe we had done different was the Classic because it was a little dry. Just wish it had had more of a brown sugar taste. But the PB Banana that our girls got was really good and we only wished we had done one with some strawberries or other fruit. Felt almost authentic when compared to similar places in Paris. But, hey, it's Columbia, SC, so you can't be too critical of that. They did do a good job of decor & ambiance at least enough to satisfy me.
(4)William H.
Food awesome but service questionable as it was not quite closing time and one of two tables left and they were out of coffee. When I inquired was told by assumed owner we're out of coffee. Did not offer to make a pot but was out. No apology or anything. Great food with poor service means will not be back when in town.
(2)Amanda D.
Delicious! My husband got the Paris Crepe and u got the Croque-monsieur. His crepe was phenomenal, we would definitely get it again. The Croque-Monsieur was good too, but I think I prefer the crepes! I originally thought it was a sit down type cafe, but it's an order as you come in and have a seat, which is totally fine. The only thing is be prepared to wait they only have a couple of crepe irons so it does take time. We did get a crepe for dessert as well it was the Honey Moon! Really good! It had bananas and honey, yum!
(5)Daniel G.
Great atmosphere great food and great service what more can you ask for. Oh yea the kids love it too they where so excited to come and the staff even remembered what they order. I read one or two reviews about poor counter service and I have not experienced that yet.
(5)Grace M.
I don't know why people are complaining. I got my order DELIVERED and it was so good I could not eat my meal fast enough. I got a salmon croissant and ordered the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe to share and it is amazing. It reminds me of my trip to Paris. Absolutely love. I can't wait to order again!! (Which is going to be very soon) I am assuming that the owner delivered because he was a nice French man.
(5)San H.
This is my second time here. I've ordered to go both times. Both times my order was up speedily and delicious. Both times I ordered savory crepes.
(5)Ryan A.
This is our favorite stop in Columbia. Every visit we order two sweet crepes and we split a veggie croissant. The croissants are made in-house and always perfectly flakey. The coffee is gourmet. The owner, Laurent is always a friendly host/proprietor. We go so often they know our orders and it seems to get better every time.
(5)Christy L.
.now i know what a crossant should really taste like!!! the owner makes all the food himself. today(wednesday) he was there by himself, so he did have to juggle register and food prep himself....but he seems to have a good rythm going. the prices are good. we ordered 2crepes w nutella. they were very large and he was very liberal w nutella. and then the 2 bacon, egg and cheese crossants......bacon well cooked! the pastry itself was sooo yummy!!!
(5)Rebecca A.
Came with my mother and father when they came to visit me. We ordered two savory crepes and one sweet one. I believe we ordered a Norway, an Italy and a Sweet Lemon. My mom got the sweet lemon about 15 minutes after my dad and I ate our respective crepes. I have no idea what took so long. They were only using one crepe cooktop when they have at least two. My Italy was very bland, to say the least. I think they should use pesto instead of the measly "basil marinade" on the chicken which you can hardly taste at all. My dad thought his Norway was just alright as well. Not special at all. My parents were disappointed. The decor inside is totally lacking, this place looks bizarre like it was supposed to be a waiting lobby but then they decided to make a kitchen on one end. The table we ate at appeared to be a conference table. Weird. Also, the owner is supposedly French. I find this fact to be suspicious given that they advertise their desserts as "Macaroons" and not "Macarons." A macaroon is a chewy dense coconut dessert. A macaron is a meringue cookie sandwich. A Frenchman would know this simple fact.
(3)Rick T.
Smoked Salmon Crepes tasted great ! The owner was really cool he talked about doing take out this year to local businesses, me and sister said it would be a great idea.
(4)Timothy D.
Delicious and unique.

I have been there twice this week. Egg and cheese croissant both times. First day it was 2 eggs, second visit was 1 egg - not sure which is correct serving? Both times the croissant and cheese was way over toasted in a toaster oven while egg(s) cooked. To the point that the croissant was burnt and the cheese was rock hard. I watched them cook various orders during both visits and all ingredients are fresh! I am not a crepe person, but they look delish!
(2)Deanna A.
If a true Frenchman dared to venture into this so called Creperie, they would be quick to leave the building swearing in a foreign language. Three microwaves, a toaster oven, and crepes with dehydrated herbs, canned beans, lunch meat for ham, and microwaved meat. I got the Italy, with sliced mozzarella, mealy tomatoes, and what looks to be dehydrated basil. My husband got the Texan, which one he burped, he said tasted like Texas Pete. Both of us were highly disappointed. My sons cheddy crepe had lunch meat ham in it. I would not go back to this place if it was the last restaurant in Columbia.
(1)Natalie K.
My Husband and I went here for lunch and did not leave happy (sadly) :( the owner was out of town and my crepes came to me uncooked (2 crepes). My savory crepe (Italy) had very dry chicken. It was not put well together. I got the honeymoon for the sweet crepe which was also uncooked and tasted terrible. I didn't finish either crepes. My Husband had a ham croissant and was unhappy with it as well. I don't like writing bad reviews but this did it for us :/
(1)B H.
went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning with a friend. whenever I go to a new place I always ask the employees what they recommend. They are legit french people and were very helpful and friendly. we ordered savory crepes, they were large and delicious. Cool atmosphere, this is random-the sinks in the restrooms are pretty cool/modern.
(5)Emily E.
Nice to have something different downtown. I tried the Paris crepe and enjoyed it. Slightly dry, but overall a good flavor. Decent prices. I'll probably go back.
(3)Robert B.
I've eaten here twice and have enjoyed both meals. The service is quick and polite, perfect for lunch. I had the tomato tart, made with pastry dough, olive oil and herbs de Provence. Nice and flaky. The second lunch was the Paris crepe with white cheese, ham and an egg sunny side up. Very tasty! Both items came with a small mixed green salad. Having just returned from a vacation in France, the food seems authentic, based on my limited experience.
(4)Morgan C.
Pretty tasty. The savory crepes can be a bit dry, but any of the sweet crepes are delicious! Plus the croissants are amazing!! I think they're still working on the atmosphere, but its french and cute and quiet.

I am soo sad to be writing a mostly negative review on Crepes & Croissants! I had bookmarked this place a few months ago and was looking forward to finally checking it out and getting a chance to sink my teeth into what I has hoping would be, an amazing crepe. Instead my experience was just not up to par. But before I get to the food I want to describe a few other things that did not improve the rating. As soon as you walk to the door, there is a sign on the door that says "We speak English." I'm not sure why the business felt the need to advertise that they speak English, but could only take that as a jab to maybe other area eateries where English is a second language and communication is not as smooth. It just seemed unnecessary and slightly crass. Then there's the layout. They have this sitting area in the middle of the restaurant that looks like a spa waiting area. It's pretty but looks totally odd to place right in the middle of a small cafe. It just does not blend well with the rest of the space. The ordering at the register and getting your food at your table is good in theory but not practical in reality. They don't have a large sign of the menu on the wall so you have to get a menu at the register and order. But if you don't know what you're getting and are deciding, then you basically have to rush to make a decision or else you'll hold up the line. Only other option is to get a menu as soon as you get in line, but if you've never been to the place before you will not know that they have menus on the counter to look at, so you just stay in line and figure this out when you're at the register. It would make more sense if they had a large mounted menu on the wall so as you walked in you could figure out what to get, then when you walked up to the register you could quickly order, and speed up the process. A minor detail but one that could easily make the whole experience go a lot smoother. Now for the food, this was the biggest disappointment. I have been to France and lived in San Francisco for several years (where there have been a ton of amazing crepe places) and I have never had a savory crepe that was as bad as the one I had at Crepes & Croissants. I would have sent it back, but by the time I got my food, there was a lengthy line at the register and not wanting to deal with a long wait, I just sucked it up, and ate what I could. My friends and I had also been on a 5+ mile walk, so I was really hungry. Anyways, to get to the point, I ordered a "Greece" crepe, and subbed the honey with caramelized onions and tomatoes. What I got was a salad in a crepe pocket. A bunch of caramelized onions were dumped in one corner and then there were blobs of goat cheese in various sections and then baby spinach leaves and a few slices of tomatoes were just thrown on, this was not a warm melted crepe with the flavors married, instead it was a salad (or some sad version of a salad) squished into a folded crepe! It did not taste good at all but again, I was starving from our walk and not wanting to deal with the line and hassle of waiting, I just ate what I could. While I was complaining about my food to my friends, one of my friends noticed a guy send back his entree because his egg was raw. I'm not giving this place a one star review because my friends did not hate their food, they both ordered different croissant sandwiches, and one also got a peanut butter and banana crepe. They seemed satisfied with their food and did not have a negative experience. Also the service was good, not great, but it was good. If I go back to this place I would try a croissant dish and see if it's a better experience, but as for my savory crepe, unfortunately it was a major letdown. Bummer because I really wanted to like this place!

Love the croissants! I go to yoga across the street & then grab breakfast here. I can't wait to try the wide variety of crepes.
(5)Packet R.
Homemade Crepes.. What is there not to love about that.. Yummy!!!
(5)Amanda S.
This place was awesome. I was in town visiting friends, and one person in our crowd really wanted some crepes. Luckily, this place fit the bill. I was skeptical when we walked in, but the man who took our order at the register was actually French (hence the "we speak English" sign someone else mentioned), and the food was delicious. I was the only person in our party who didn't order both a sweet and a savory crepe, and I wish I had! They were all good. Now I'm left wondering how I can swing another visit to Columbia soon.
(4)Karen S.
I was not too sure what to expect at Crepes & Croissants (hence my 3 star rating). I had seen pictures of what I thought were crepes before coming here and had planned on ordering several crepes for my lunchtime meal. Looking at the menu, I figured it was the norm to order more than one crepe if you were planning making this your lunch. So to my surprise, I was not expecting two separate plates to come out when my crepes was finally brought out to me. I just thought two of us in our party had ordered the same crepe. I also did not find the crepes that filling if you were making this your meal (unless some are more filling than others). You do have the option of ordering sandwiches on crossiants, but the short glance I looked at the menu, I did not see any crossaint sandwiches I would have cared for. Another person in our party did order a sandwhich and again, did not look like you were given a big sandwich for a meal (even though chips were also served). The crepes are a good dessert option, but they are only open during lunch hours. When I think dessert, I think evening hours after dinner.

Amazing! Stumbled on this place when visiting the art museum. Delicious savory crepes and divine macaroons.
(5)William K.
This was the worst breakfast experience I have had the displeasure of suffering through in Columbia. The fellow who took my order and prepared my Paris crepe seemed only interested in leaving work. He let my crepe sit for 6 minutes before bringing it to my table while he made my husband's crepe. Why he didn't use two crepe makers instead of letting my crepe get cold, I can only imagine was so he wouldn't have to clean two separate griddles. The lattes we ordered weren't prepared until after we had our breakfast, about 30 minutes after we ordered them. It wasn't overly busy either. Three tables, including ours, seemed to be too great a number for the 3 employees that were working behind the counter. Two of them though never so much as lifted a finger to help cook or prepare our lattes on time. I had ordered two sweet crepes as a treat for after breakfast but, unsurprisingly, they hadn't even started making them until we had already been there 45 minutes. Yes, it took them 45 minutes to even start thinking about making the second half of our order. Once the lattes and savory crepes had been made, I almost wish they hadn't. The latte tasted as if it was made with espresso dredged in burnt coffee grounds. It was so acrid we left the store with them and poured them out in the nearest trash can. My crepe was lukewarm at best after having spent 6 minutes chilling. My husband was severely disappointed in the luncheon meat they called ham and I have to agree. I hope Laurent turns his business around because I love crepes, but until he reviews his staffing, ingredients and training I will not return. I will actively recommend to my friends that they stay away until such a date.
(1)Whitney S.
This place is fabulous! We travel to eat...especially for different breakfast food! We were thrilled to discover one our top breakfast places was right here in town! I always get the triple treat and the iced vanilla coffee. My boyfriend always tries something different. Weve never had a bad meal. The fruit is always fresh. The staff is always so friendly. We go so often theyre like friends to us now. Cant go wrong!
(5)Katharine K.
Good lunch place with a convenient location. It's obviously not the most authentic French cuisine in the world, but it is good for what it is. The Marne crepe is quite good, and I'm excited to try some of the sweeter crepes. The side salad that comes with the crepes has a good dressing, but all it has is lettuce, so it could use a bit more (cranberries, pecans, goat cheese?).
(4)Susan E.
I ordered the Greenland without the olives and it was delicious! I also shared a Nutella crepe with my friend; again - yum. We both enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. There are so many choices among the sweet and savory. I can't wait to return. Love seeing new choices downtown.

Walked in, ordered and sat down. Ahhh, I was immediately transported back to youthful days of long ago. Not because I grew up in France, but because of the alt-90's music playing over the speakers. Once Sublime's April 26th 1992 came on I knew homey wasn't the vibe they were really going for here. Although since the song mentions Cleveland I was transported briefly back to my hometown and that made me happy. I agree with other reviewers if you have a set up where you need to order at the register there needs to be a large display of the menu visible so people know what to order. I got a sweet crepe with nutella, bananas, strawberries and whipped creme to eat in the restaurant and a chocolate croissant to go. The crepe wasn't that bad at all. It had crisp edges and lots of nutella in it. I could tell the strawberries weren't from a can and were mixed with sugar. They were about one day past usage though and were starting to oxidize a lil bit. I didn't care and still ate them because I have an iron stomach. The whipped cream had that special swirl you can only get from a can. The decor didn't really make sense. A good portion of the usable space was set up as a lounge. Maybe they also want it to be a coffee shop? It really wasn't that inviting though with an odd mix of high top tables and low ones scattered around. It reminded me of a deli more than anything. The chocolate croissant was pretty darn good though. I microwaved it and it tasted fresh again. I'm not sure if they bake them in-house but if it tastes good I don't really care. Also, for the lady saying the sign might be racist. There's a French flag on the door. Underneath the flag it says "We speak English." I'm pretty sure they're just saying we may be a French place but don't worry we speak English. Most of my family barely speaks English and I didn't really get offended at all.

I had been wanting to try this place for some time and noticed that it had garnished quite a few favorable reviews .....unfortunately, this is not going to be one of them. My coworker and I stopped in this afternoon to try it out. We were the only people in there when we arrived. We both had a quiche Lorraine and a banana and Nutella crepes.....this took 45 minutes! We both found the person behind the counter very unfriendly. ..bordering on rude. The food was marginal at best. We were very disappointed in our experience. I was really wanting to enjoy this place...the concept is unique. ..but, I doubt very much I will go back.
(2)Aaron Z.
It is really the only pace to get crepes besides Pancake House. The ambiance is rough...they are coming along but still missing something. The crepes are pretty good and they have a large selection.
(3)David W.
Slow service. Dry meat. Bad crepes. Was very excited to try the place but am very let down after eating there.
(2)Alejandro L.
Interesting flavor combinations, decent decoration and thoughtful owner-cook-waiter. But they warmed up my creppe in the microwave. I hate microwaves. You don't do that if you want 5 stars, or more customers.

This is our favorite stop in Columbia. Every visit we order two sweet crepes and we split a veggie croissant. The croissants are made in-house and always perfectly flakey. The coffee is gourmet. The owner, Laurent is always a friendly host/proprietor. We go so often they know our orders and it seems to get better every time.

Interesting flavor combinations, decent decoration and thoughtful owner-cook-waiter. But they warmed up my creppe in the microwave. I hate microwaves. You don't do that if you want 5 stars, or more customers.

Good lunch place with a convenient location. It's obviously not the most authentic French cuisine in the world, but it is good for what it is. The Marne crepe is quite good, and I'm excited to try some of the sweeter crepes. The side salad that comes with the crepes has a good dressing, but all it has is lettuce, so it could use a bit more (cranberries, pecans, goat cheese?).

I ordered the Greenland without the olives and it was delicious! I also shared a Nutella crepe with my friend; again - yum. We both enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. There are so many choices among the sweet and savory. I can't wait to return. Love seeing new choices downtown.

Walked in, ordered and sat down. Ahhh, I was immediately transported back to youthful days of long ago. Not because I grew up in France, but because of the alt-90's music playing over the speakers. Once Sublime's April 26th 1992 came on I knew homey wasn't the vibe they were really going for here. Although since the song mentions Cleveland I was transported briefly back to my hometown and that made me happy. I agree with other reviewers if you have a set up where you need to order at the register there needs to be a large display of the menu visible so people know what to order. I got a sweet crepe with nutella, bananas, strawberries and whipped creme to eat in the restaurant and a chocolate croissant to go. The crepe wasn't that bad at all. It had crisp edges and lots of nutella in it. I could tell the strawberries weren't from a can and were mixed with sugar. They were about one day past usage though and were starting to oxidize a lil bit. I didn't care and still ate them because I have an iron stomach. The whipped cream had that special swirl you can only get from a can. The decor didn't really make sense. A good portion of the usable space was set up as a lounge. Maybe they also want it to be a coffee shop? It really wasn't that inviting though with an odd mix of high top tables and low ones scattered around. It reminded me of a deli more than anything. The chocolate croissant was pretty darn good though. I microwaved it and it tasted fresh again. I'm not sure if they bake them in-house but if it tastes good I don't really care. Also, for the lady saying the sign might be racist. There's a French flag on the door. Underneath the flag it says "We speak English." I'm pretty sure they're just saying we may be a French place but don't worry we speak English. Most of my family barely speaks English and I didn't really get offended at all.

It is really the only pace to get crepes besides Pancake House. The ambiance is rough...they are coming along but still missing something. The crepes are pretty good and they have a large selection.

Slow service. Dry meat. Bad crepes. Was very excited to try the place but am very let down after eating there.

Amazing, savory and sweet crepes. A casual place with four star food.
(5)Morgan C.
Pretty tasty. The savory crepes can be a bit dry, but any of the sweet crepes are delicious! Plus the croissants are amazing!! I think they're still working on the atmosphere, but its french and cute and quiet.

I've eaten here twice and have enjoyed both meals. The service is quick and polite, perfect for lunch. I had the tomato tart, made with pastry dough, olive oil and herbs de Provence. Nice and flaky. The second lunch was the Paris crepe with white cheese, ham and an egg sunny side up. Very tasty! Both items came with a small mixed green salad. Having just returned from a vacation in France, the food seems authentic, based on my limited experience.

I had been wanting to try this place for some time and noticed that it had garnished quite a few favorable reviews .....unfortunately, this is not going to be one of them. My coworker and I stopped in this afternoon to try it out. We were the only people in there when we arrived. We both had a quiche Lorraine and a banana and Nutella crepes.....this took 45 minutes! We both found the person behind the counter very unfriendly. ..bordering on rude. The food was marginal at best. We were very disappointed in our experience. I was really wanting to enjoy this place...the concept is unique. ..but, I doubt very much I will go back.

.now i know what a crossant should really taste like!!! the owner makes all the food himself. today(wednesday) he was there by himself, so he did have to juggle register and food prep himself....but he seems to have a good rythm going. the prices are good. we ordered 2crepes w nutella. they were very large and he was very liberal w nutella. and then the 2 bacon, egg and cheese crossants......bacon well cooked! the pastry itself was sooo yummy!!!

Came with my mother and father when they came to visit me. We ordered two savory crepes and one sweet one. I believe we ordered a Norway, an Italy and a Sweet Lemon. My mom got the sweet lemon about 15 minutes after my dad and I ate our respective crepes. I have no idea what took so long. They were only using one crepe cooktop when they have at least two. My Italy was very bland, to say the least. I think they should use pesto instead of the measly "basil marinade" on the chicken which you can hardly taste at all. My dad thought his Norway was just alright as well. Not special at all. My parents were disappointed. The decor inside is totally lacking, this place looks bizarre like it was supposed to be a waiting lobby but then they decided to make a kitchen on one end. The table we ate at appeared to be a conference table. Weird. Also, the owner is supposedly French. I find this fact to be suspicious given that they advertise their desserts as "Macaroons" and not "Macarons." A macaroon is a chewy dense coconut dessert. A macaron is a meringue cookie sandwich. A Frenchman would know this simple fact.

Smoked Salmon Crepes tasted great ! The owner was really cool he talked about doing take out this year to local businesses, me and sister said it would be a great idea.

Delicious and unique.

I have been there twice this week. Egg and cheese croissant both times. First day it was 2 eggs, second visit was 1 egg - not sure which is correct serving? Both times the croissant and cheese was way over toasted in a toaster oven while egg(s) cooked. To the point that the croissant was burnt and the cheese was rock hard. I watched them cook various orders during both visits and all ingredients are fresh! I am not a crepe person, but they look delish!

If a true Frenchman dared to venture into this so called Creperie, they would be quick to leave the building swearing in a foreign language. Three microwaves, a toaster oven, and crepes with dehydrated herbs, canned beans, lunch meat for ham, and microwaved meat. I got the Italy, with sliced mozzarella, mealy tomatoes, and what looks to be dehydrated basil. My husband got the Texan, which one he burped, he said tasted like Texas Pete. Both of us were highly disappointed. My sons cheddy crepe had lunch meat ham in it. I would not go back to this place if it was the last restaurant in Columbia.

My Husband and I went here for lunch and did not leave happy (sadly) :( the owner was out of town and my crepes came to me uncooked (2 crepes). My savory crepe (Italy) had very dry chicken. It was not put well together. I got the honeymoon for the sweet crepe which was also uncooked and tasted terrible. I didn't finish either crepes. My Husband had a ham croissant and was unhappy with it as well. I don't like writing bad reviews but this did it for us :/

went there for breakfast on a Saturday morning with a friend. whenever I go to a new place I always ask the employees what they recommend. They are legit french people and were very helpful and friendly. we ordered savory crepes, they were large and delicious. Cool atmosphere, this is random-the sinks in the restrooms are pretty cool/modern.
(5)Emily E.
Nice to have something different downtown. I tried the Paris crepe and enjoyed it. Slightly dry, but overall a good flavor. Decent prices. I'll probably go back.
(3)Jane D.
Love the croissants! I go to yoga across the street & then grab breakfast here. I can't wait to try the wide variety of crepes.

Homemade Crepes.. What is there not to love about that.. Yummy!!!
(5)Amanda S.
This place was awesome. I was in town visiting friends, and one person in our crowd really wanted some crepes. Luckily, this place fit the bill. I was skeptical when we walked in, but the man who took our order at the register was actually French (hence the "we speak English" sign someone else mentioned), and the food was delicious. I was the only person in our party who didn't order both a sweet and a savory crepe, and I wish I had! They were all good. Now I'm left wondering how I can swing another visit to Columbia soon.

Great deal and food. About $11 for the CC1 combo, add $0.50 for a fountain drink. You get two crêpes (one meal and one desert) which are more than enough. Macaroons are kind of expensive for their size and taste.
(5)Zoe L.
Each dish tastes fresh while the flavor is full. I will be back to devour the entire menu, one croissant at a time. The macaroons are perfect- I only wish they didn't ever being on my plate!

I love crepes more than anything but this was a huge disappointment. The service was so slow and then they got our order wrong. After that, they argued with us about our order!! So rude! When they finally realized they were wrong, they cooked us one more crepe. Worst crepe I've ever had - and I've had A LOT.
(1)Mia G.
I really enjoyed my "Paris", unfortunately my boyfriend's Croquet Monsieur was a really sad excuse for a Croquet. C'mon, guys, I KNOW you can do better than that. It's more than just a ham sandwich. I'll come back though... and eat all the crepes. Sweet girl at checkout too- that is always appreciated.

Loved it! Came at 9:15 - we had the whole place to ourselves. Ordered the Strawberry N, Brie Croissant, & Quiche Lorraine. The owner was our order taker, chef, and server. I read previous reviews commenting on the music, and decor - I thought it was all great! (Not sure if someone informed the owner of the yelp comments but it appears he's made changes - menu at entrance and seating/open area off to the side) There were cute clean tables and chairs and ENIGMA playing over the speakers! I will def be back and hope to update my review to 5 stars!

I love this place! I make it a point to stop in every time I'm in town and am never disappointed. The meringues and croissants are also quite delicious, and the people working there are always so very nice.

I have waited to give this place a review for the longest. I tried the place 4 times. I usually get the strawberry N (strawberry Nutella. Every time I have ordered the crepes were so SOGGY. Towards finishing the dessert the crepe has a consistency of a fettuccine noodle. The crepes are also stuffed really thin and are not filling even for a dessert. All of the crepe places in Paris, Japan, LA, Charelston, that I have had crepes in were given to me in a cone shaped paper and they never got soggy even with whipped cream put into them. Also there are hardly any varieties. They all are a combo of Nutella, a chocolate sauce, and fruit. All of the places I have been to have freshly whipped cream topping. Maybe if u have never been to a crepe place or a Good creperie then this place may be for you.
