Popped in for a great breakfast

Popped in for breakfast on a rainy morning. The service was prompt and friendly. We ordered the Turkey Monte Cristo and the Mushroom, Spinach and Bacon crepes. Both were hot and flavorful. I love that they use fresh ingredients in their crepes. Our Cafe Latte...and London Fog were perfectly made. The restaurant is super clean. They really take extra time and attention to clean all the tables AND chairs between all their customers. They take the COVID protocols very seriously and we felt very safe having a great meal there.More

Not impressed

We waited in line forever to place our order then stood around because there weren't any tables available. We finally snagged a table after standing for 20 minutes then had to wait about another ten minutes to get it wiped off. After more waiting our...food finally showed up. Hubby got a ham and cheese omelette and he said the ham tasted like it was prepackaged from a grocery store. I ordered the blueberry cheesecake crepes and I truly think the blueberry was from a Comstock can. And $2.25 is too much to pay for a small cup of coffee that doesn't get refilled. It was so disappointing.More

Sorry but we are operating at half capacity in a global pandemic, with the regular amount of customers on weekends, and we do run out of seats for a few minutes. We do not use grocery store ham or comstock. Coffee refills are free for...More

Disappointing Tasteless Crepe

I ordered the goat cheese and walnut crepe with fig jam. It came on a wheat crepe, which looked more like a tortilla than crepe. Very bland, and with only a tablespoon of fig jam on the side - not enough to help compensate for...the tasteless and dry crepe.More

Delightful

Came hear from ratings from trip advisor. I wanted sweet and savory. I got the Nutella bananas and strawberries... good, but I should have just got the strawberries n creme. Had the ham and cheese with strawberry jam by the staff recommendation didn’t like the...jam on the ham n cheese. I liked my ice coffee and my husband had a mimosa which he also liked. I would definitely come back. Also a nice atmosphere. We dined outside.More

Always a friendly and yummy experience

So glad this place is right near my house (Farragut location)! Great place to go for breakfast or lunch. Haven't ventured out into sweet crêpes, but the smoked salmon crêpe and goat cheese with fig jam crêpe are bomb. Brie and ham sandwich is yummy...as well. Get some petit fours for dessert and you're set! Also so appreciate that they take covid more seriously than is the norm- it's one of the only places I've physically eaten at since March. Staff is also super friendly, especially the woman with dark hair and glasses who works up front.More

Nice Staff

This was a very cute French Market with lots of options for coffee, sweets, crepes and sandwiches. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. Very nice atmosphere, ambiance and decor. My chicken salad croissant was very good and the...baked brie with cranberries was excellent. I will definitely try a crepe next time!!! I saw a patron with a crepe on her plate and it looked fabulous!!!!More

High Priced Turkey Wrap Masquerading as a Crepe

A turkey wrap that was not wrapped with spinach and fete. Ordinary at best. The turkey tasted like processed shaved meat from a local grocer. The rest....ordinary...plain. Tight seating inside in a dark dank room. The staff was peasant if un-attentive (perhaps the new normal...in Covid 19). $26 for two crepe like wraps and bottled water (ouch)More

This is a casual restaurant. Most people are in street clothes, though there are some business people there at lunch.
