Crepe it up & bowls is awesome! We stopped by for coffee and sweet crepes, and everything was absolutely amazing. The Dubai crepe in a cup is pure perfection. Rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The signature crepe and the honey nut brie crepe are also great. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

My wife and I visited this place on Saturday morning and were delighted to discover this hidden gem. The coffee was absolutely perfect, and the crepe was excellent. When our food arrived, we could truly sense the care and effort put into each dish. We really appreciate it!

I had an amazing experience at this cozy cafe! The pancakes were absolutely delicious — fluffy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The menu offers a great variety, from sweet to savory options, so there’s something for everyone. The staff was friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I will definitely come back for more. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tasty and pleasant meal!

Visited recently! We ordered 2 coffees which were delicious! A lavender latte and a caramel macchiato! We also ordered 2 crepes which were very filling and delicious (the flavors went well together). Lastly ordered a tropical paradise smoothie for my nephew which he loved. The place had a small area for kids which my nephew really enjoyed and kept him busy so we could enjoy the food and coffee right next to him. I will definitely come back and will recommend to others!!

Remarkable experience. I loved everything about the place. The music, decor, food, coffee, utensils, seating. I've reviewed a few other breakfast places and they are just blah at best. But this place is amazing. I'm being my family here and already told my friends. Coffee: this is real and flavorful coffee. I'm coming here for the coffee as a standalone from now on instead of Starbucks. They brew their coffee strong like I do using my French press with a bold and flavorful bean. Crepe:I got a berry filled crepe and it was so delicious. The berries added the perfect amount of sweetness without making it too sweet. There were four types of berries and they were all fresh and sweet. The crepe was light and tasty and well cooked. They give a lot of food here. I couldn't finish it as it was so much food but my 18 year old self probably could. And the best part is I didn't feel fat and full and lethargic after eating it like McDonald's or other breakfast places, instead I feel invigorated and ready to go. Ambiance:The silverware is super cool - elegant gold silverware. The mug for coffee feels European and has a good weight and grip. I just wanted to drink the heck out of my coffee with that mug (and the taste). The seating was like a European cafe. The music was great - electronic music that wasn't too high paced, just right for a morning. I really can't recommend this place enough. I'm going to go there for coffee as a standalone. But also for crepes. Next time I'm getting a savory crepe. I've been looking for a breakfast spot and my past reviews will indicate my disappointment with them. But I'm so excited by this place. Would absolutely recommend giving it a try. I'm definitely going back and telling everyone I know about it.

Finally one of the best coffee shop with great atmosphere and fresh products. Right away u can feel all food and crepes prepared with fresh products. If you don’t eat meat, they have vegetarian options with tofu and alot of veggies . Breakfast Crepe is a must try. Tea with Honey is phenomenal. If u are looking for fresh healthy breakfast, best coffee without so much sugar it is a must visit place. I would put 10/10, definitely will visit again.

I had to wait to leave a review to see if the service and great food would be continuous, and I must say that the service and food at Crepe it Up is amazing. The environment is beautiful and aesthetic, if needed you could sit and chat or do work. I have had a few select crepes numerous times and they always taste better than the last time. The coffee crepe is a coffee lover's dream! The menu is vegetarian friendly, and they offer drinks and bowls that look appetizing. Martin, Phillip, and Daniella are so sweet, and they really care about their business and their craft. If you are unfamiliar with their menu they take their time and help you find something you love.They are a family and you can see that their bond helps their business go far. I highly recommend Crepe it Up, if you are passing through, want a light but filling meal, a refreshing drink or just a dose of positivity, look no further. Crepe it up is more than worthy of fulfilling those demands.

Wonderful place that I would definitely recommend visiting! If you’re looking at it, GO there! Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. We went there today with my husband and my toddler. It’s great that they have little play corner for the little ones too! It is a family owned businesses that goes above and beyond to provide delicious products with fresh ingredients. Everything is made from scratch, and that is what makes it special in my opinion. We had the Signature crepe, cappuccino and a macchiato- everything was delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try something else from their menu. Thank you for the great experience!
