Small restaurant. Cozy ambiance. Clean establishment. Specializes in crepes and waffles but have other items in menu like salads and paninis. They have breakfast style crepes. Large coffee and tea drinks options. Beer and wine available. Our crepes were very tasty and a hefty portion, with lots of filling. They are open late.

My husband and I had dinner here recently and we loved it. The crepes were huge! Service was excellent. And the place was really cute.
I had the Deluxe Crepe $15 and added a side salad for an additional $4.50. My husband got the Seafood Crepe $19 and a beer $6.75 (they are licensed).
The Deluxe Crepe came with spinach, onions, red peppers, eggs, mushrooms and your choice of meat (I got chicken) and your choice of cheese (I got smoked cheddar) with Hollandaise sauce drizzled on top. I forgot to say I wanted the buckwheat crepe, so I got the original crepe, which was still delicious, but next time I have to remember to try the buckwheat. My crepe was stuffed and huge! I loved every bite. The chicken was cubes of real chicken breast. The Hollandaise sauce was very light (not too rich nor buttery), which is different from what I'm used to, but I still liked it.
My side salad was mixed greens (no iceberg or romaine, hurray!), with some diced tomatoes, red onions and feta. I asked for the dressing on the side and it arrived as requested. The dressing was a creamy balsamic dressing, which was tasty. Vegetables were fresh, but I found the salad itself rather unremarkable.
My husband's Seafood Crepe had shrimp, bay scallops, lobster and sole in a very peppery sauce. Some of it was inside the crepe, but most was poured on top of the crepe, so his looked very different from mine. He really liked his crepe, but I had a taste and found it way too peppery. I liked mine a lot better.
Service was very courteous and efficient. The server even refilled our waters without us having to ask.
It's an open kitchen concept; you can see the staff making your crepes.
The restaurant looks more like a cafe in terms of decor. There are some booths for 2 at the front and some tables for larger groups at the back. They also have a sizable patio on the side of the restaurant.
I love crepes and I really enjoyed this place. If I lived in Kingston I would try every crepe on the menu, lol :) -

Never a disappointment from YOU GOTTA EAT HERE (am I the only who go to the restaurants that the host has visited?)!!! Decided to drop by this place on our way to Montreal because of the show. There are SO MANY kinds of crepes to choose from- both savoury and sweets available. Parents decided to have savoury crepe (and not let me order a sweet one as they said I should watch my weight........) and the salad (to be healthy). The Cordon Bleu was very delicious, with chicken and ham chunks inside, drizzled with a béchamel sauce? Every bite of the crepe feels as if you were really have the actual Cordon Bleu. The crepe itself was made fresh, very thin, not a single burnt part. The salad was filled with golden beets, some Granny Smith apple strips, topped with goat cheese and a vinaigrette dressing. Each bite was a little sour yet not a bad mix of flavour.
Will definitely go back to try the sweet crepes and hopefully no one will stop me from getting them! -

The service is extremely friendly at this conveniently-located spot in downtown Kingston! The cooking and serving is done by the same folks, so the service is kind of chaotic, but in a beautiful sort of way, and you won't be left unattended to. I've enjoyed the gluten-free and vegan-friendly crepe option (which is an amazing offering) and like to build my own savory crepes when I visit. My only qualm is that they charge for a small amount of soy milk to go into my tea and that they charge you $2 for syrup if you want to add it to your meal. If it's pure maple syrup, though, I could be swayed to understand more easily why this is the case.
Overall, I've enjoyed each visit I've had and am always completely full when I leave - both with food and smiles from the staff. -

Came here on Sunday for brunch with a friend while visiting Kingston.
It was fairly busy but, we were lucky to get a table immediately.
There is a large selection for savoury and sweet crepes on the menu which was great.
We ordered the deluxe crepe (ham, cheese, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and egg). Price was fair considering the portion size was pretty large.
However, I did not particularly like the hollandaise sauce (didn't really taste like anything and just tasted like cream)
