While heading to Harvard, we stumbled upon a charming little brunch spot. The crepes were absolutely divine, with a wide variety of fillings to choose from. The owner was incredibly helpful and recommended some delicious combinations. The service was efficient and the portions were satisfying

Very good breakfast crepes and generous portions. Friendly fast service. Dining in accommodation is very casual and limited, a handful of shared common spaces at a couple of counters but it gets the job done. This place is small and the entrance is a walk up, not wheelchair compatible FYI

What I really like this place, is that it is all about the food and the college kids. When I went to college, which was a long time ago, it was all about value meals. Lots of food and well priced and this place delivers. Although the name is Crispy Crepes, they also have a really good selection of Mediterranean Plates, like falafel, shawarma and more. My mushroom, ham and cheese was good. Both the ham and mushroom were really fresh and you can tell that they were nice and fresh ingredients. The cheese, may have been the Velveeta kind, but I do believe that it made for a great combination with the ham and mushrooms, because it melted well in your mouth. My wife loved her Chicken Shawarma sandwich, which also had very flavorful and nice combination of ingredients. What she liked the most is how they press the pita sandwich, so that it comes out nice and crunchy. My daughter loved her Nutella/Chocolate Crepe, she said that there was plenty of it inside the crepe and the whipped cream was like icing on the cake. Service was fast, again, this is a college place and I think that this is being run to serve food fast and cater to the college crowd that keeps coming in and out. Parking can be challenging, because this is on Commonwealth Avenue a few blocks away from Kenmore Square. We got lucky, because it was Sunday and during Spring Break weekend and not sure about how the rest of the week would look like, but if you live in the area and you want a quick bite, this place is good. The place may need a bit of updating, but as I said in the beginning, this is about food and college kids. Great value for our meal and definitely one that we will come back, when we are in the area! Cheers!

Was looking for a good dessert place after a lovely dinner near BU but it's almost impossible because there's quite literally 0 things around except ice cream and this lovely gem. Nutella and strawberry crepe (10/10): affordable and packed, they do not skimp on the Nutella or strawberries. Had to share it with another person to finish it all! The cashier was really sweet. I appreciate him being patient with my indecisiveness. They have a wide selection of crepes, ranging from savory to sweet as well as other foods. It's a small cafe, but they made use of their space. It seems like the ideal place to come grab a treat with your friends and chat. Cozy yet very casual. I would love to come back and try their other options!

The people who work here are so nice and incredibly efficient. I've come here so many times with my friends and have never been disappointed by the food. It's a gift to be able to find a place so homey so far from it. Amazing people!

Lovely tiny cafe in the heart of BU. The owner was surprised when kiddo requested chocolate and ham for the crepe filling but managed to keep a straight face - and delivered! All in all, we enjoyed a great breakfast.

Update: they now take Apple Pay! Still a consistent lunch destination, but now you don't have to worry about paying with a physical card because who likes taking out their wallet anymore anyway. :)

I was in Boston for 2 days for some college visits. Had breakfast here both days. Oh my, it's soooo good! Good quality food, in a very central location -- It's right in the middle of the BU campus. The restaurant itself was straightforward and no-nonsense. Slightly crowded, always clean, with fast service. I Had pancakes and the Tuscany crepe the first day, good mix of sweet and savory. The Tuscany has an amazing pesto flavor, and the potatoes that come with the savory crepes are amazing: crispy, well seasoned, and not at all oily(despite being fried). The pancakes were wonderfully fluffy and sweet, with slightly crispy edges. The second day, I had a savory crepe with mushroom, onion, tomato, spinach, and cheese, along with the classic strawberry Nutella crepe. The mushrooms and onions were beautifully cooked and flavorful, and of course the potatoes that came with were amazing. The strawberry Nutella crepe was also awesome. The crepe was cooked beautifully, and it was not overwhelmingly sweet. Possibly the best crepe I've had in my life. I would happily come back to try all of the things on their menu. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.

This place would end-up easily on my frequent-hogging list. Located well next to BU, I was surprised to see 2 other customers before me. That did not stop us from getting our order on time and they were perfect and well-made.

Came here to get dinner before class. I got a small chicken shawarma dinner plate and a strawberry, banana, Nutella crepe ($20.71 total). For a drink I got a 20 fl Oz Snapple Diet Raspberry iced tea ($2.41). I really enjoyed my chicken shawarma plate. Everything was really flavorful and well seasoned. The rice and potato wedges were fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crispy and also very well seasoned. The diet raspberry Snapple isn't really related to this specific restaurant but I think it's pretty rare to find the 20 fl Oz bottles, usually they're 16.9 fl Oz. So that was kind of nice. The strawberry banana Nutella crepe was incredibly good. I would definitely come back here just to try more of their crepes. The service was super friendly. I got to watch my crepe get made as well. The woman making it did a great job. Overall 5 stars. Would definitely recommend. Great experience all around.
