Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Several solid options, including veggie-forward savory crêpes and all sweet crêpes.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—if you want a low-pressure, playful spot. It’s casual and inexpensive, with shareable sweet crêpes that make for an easy icebreaker, but not ideal if you’re aiming for a romantic ambience.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Absolutely. It’s counter-service with self-seat tables; just order at the counter and grab a spot. Peak hours may require a brief wait for a table to open.
Is it kid-friendly? Very. Portions are generous, the menu is simple to customize, and the sweet crêpes are a hit with younger kids. Seating is casual and stroller-friendly, though there are no high chairs.
Best For
Better for: Huge portion sizes, fast service, and customizable crêpes at a wallet-friendly price—especially convenient for travelers near LAX.
Skip if: You want refined French café vibes, gluten-free options, or a drawn-out sit-down meal with ambience.
