Food was superb. The service was chaotic, then again it was Mother's Day. You have to get on a line to order. By the time I got to order all the croissants were gone.

I'm not sure why these guys are on Open Table. They are a coffee house/cafe that serves french pastries and has some nice options for a sit-down meal. When we went to check in, the employees had no idea what we were talking about. I showed them the app, and they agreed we were at the right place. Bottom line... cute place for a walk-in to get a bite. Don't bother with a reservation since the employees don't know about Open Table. The pastries and coffee were very good. The eggs Benedict and omlettes were just ok.

We were disappointed because we came for galettes and they were out. The crêpes were good and they gave us 2 free pastries which were delicious. Sorry they don't offer them at lunch.

I made a reservation for Sunday at 6:30 pm, modified it for 5:00 pm, arrived at the restaurant, and was closed. OpenTable should not have available options for non-operating hours. I sent an email to the restaurant directly sharing my experience but never heard back from them.

What an excellent idea to bring an exciting Creperie experience. Authentic French galettes and crepes, cider... this was phenomenal! Thank you for bringing this experience to the Seattle area!

The food selection on the web site is only available for brunch and the dinner food selection was very very limited. We feel that we were “lied to” about the food selection for dinner.

Thank you for your feedback. The dinner menu on the website is specifically mentioned for our Bellevue location. Our Kirkland location during Summer becomes a French Creperie from 4pm to 8pm, as indicated on OpenTable when you book.
