This following paragraph does not change that. I am pretty disappointed when I ordered the BLT advertised as served on house made Focaccia. And honestly the combo makes the $21 price tag worth it. But the BLT was not served on focaccia, instead a standard bread. Yet we received no heads up. Again, it was great but why was there no disclaimer? Definitely would not have ordered it had there been transparency because it doesn't feel worth it. Drinks: standard cocktails but really good. Definitely worth a try. Service: they were pretty packed but everyone that tended to us was really sweet. Ambiance: very standard Bellingham small shop vibe.

I love this restaurant. We have lived in Bellingham for a short while and will be moving soon; but…read moreeven when we do we will definitely be returning as we have had nothing but good experiences here. The food is prepared with quality ingredients that are loaded with flavor and it is is obvious that the preparation is thought out and that the owner is passionate about sharing her recipes to the world. Ambiance: Everything feels home-like and traditional. It's cozy and well taken care of. The service is always good. Everyone here is friendly and attentive. We are vegetarian and normally I don't just bring that up but I am especially impressed by the staff remembering this about us. A good example was this morning our waitress saw us look at the specials board for the soup and making our day by letting us know that they had forgotten to put up a second option available that didn't have meat. There are so many places that would not care to take that extra step to please their customers and would have a "take it or leave it" response to people with dietary concerns. Because this is so common these days- Magdalenas stands out. We have tried a lot of different dishes here and theyve all been good-; Turkish cilbur, mushroom sandwich, breakfast bowl, the entree salads, and their omelets are especially good (I've had bad luck with omelets not being good from other restaurants and Magdalenas made me a fan again). The soups are perfect for the Washington weather. I am not much of a sweets person but their scones are perfect, as well as the donuts, cinnamon rolls etc. As far as drinks- the seasonal winter tea hits the spot. Mint or lavender lemonades have been good during warmer days and various espresso based beverages to choose from. Though I don't normally drink, their mulled spiced wine sounds very good and I hope to make an exception to try it before we move from here.

Fast, friendly service. We each ordered crepe #2 (with Sautéed veggies, mushrooms, fontina cheese,…read moregarlic, and yogurt with fresh dill, with buckwheat batter for $1 extra). Also, we shared a small order (6) of mushroom and cabbage pierogi. Our order came in less than 10 minutes. We loved the crepes. Though they were expensive ($18.50 each, +$1), they were unique and delicious. We enjoyed the pierogi, the taste was unlike any other we've had. But at $3 each, they were not worth the price to us. We thought they'd be a bit bigger and have more filling for that price. It's basically an $18 appetizer (and a small one at that). Our total lunch came to nearly $60 before tax and tip, yet we left a bit hungry. It was worth having the experience, but for me, the cost wasn't commensurate with the amount.

It may be difficult to accommodate large groups, but if you come early, it should be okay. We were seated by the bar and we had a full view of the kitchen. It was nice to watch them make the crepes and prepare all the food. They have a few appetizers, savoury and sweet crepes, and quite a large cider selection. We both tried different ciders. I liked the scenic road razz. It was light and fruity. Tartare de boeuf- wagyu tartare, served with a beet puree and buckwheat crackers. It was tasty. I really liked the crunch on the buckwheat crackers. The tartare was seasoned well. Jambon blanc- savoury crepe with Parisian ham, cider onion jam, gruyere, and egg. Simple, but quality ingredients. It may look small, but it was quite filling. I enjoyed the buckwheat crepes as it added more flavour to the crepes. I do wish there was a bit more onions in this one. Overall, was very savoury and delicious. Saucisse- beef and pork sausage, bacon, red pepper relish, gruyere, and mustard aioli. This one was really filling. The sausage was quite large, flavourful, and not dry at all. The red pepper relish added some sweetness and brightness to the dish. The crepe went well with the mustard. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. It was nice to go to somewhere for brunch that was more unique than just the usual items for brunch. Service was great, especially since it was so busy. They were still attentive and quick. Prices are pretty good, considering portion and quality of ingredients. I'd recommend checking this place out. I know I'll be back to try their sweet crepes.

Mushroom crepe was not great. Outside was burnt and the egg white was raw.

Truthfully, I go for their crepes, but my friends are always bey happy with their other menu choices too. The staff is friendly and we never feel rush to eat & leave. This isn't a place you need to really dress up to feel you fit in. However, you also could if the mood suits you & still not feel out of place. Truly, I am happy that they even have tables on the main level that accommodate those with mobility aids. However, that being said, I am struggling to recall if there would be a easy enough way for a wheelchair or even a walker to make it to the main door. I'll have to remember to focus on that long enough before my next crepe eating bliss hits. As Cowichan Bay is a popular area to stop for meals, do plan to go in advance for parking. As even if there are a few spots for the restaurant, there isn't enough space to accommodate the full restaurant. If you are able to find a spot at the restaurant or are double parking at the restaurant (which is apparently allowed), it is good to let the server know what vehicle is yours. Beyond more than mention "I've parked my vehicle here", so a server can notify you if people need to be let out of the space if they're leaving before you're done. If you don''re not lucky enough to grab a parking spot right at the restaurant, you might have to go far up the road (sometimes almost to the hotel) or down the road (towards the parking area by the pubic washrooms) to reach any parking options. Definitely try it out if you are looking fit an option in Cowichan Bay. I know I'm looking forward to many more future happy crepe eating moments here with friends.

This café lives up to its name; Absolutely Bad Crepes, even still. I wrote that review, which apparently has gained some fame amongst people that love this place, my roommate included (she didn't know I wrote it until I told her). It was because of her I ended up coming back, but it was mostly because she dragged me and offered to pay. We split a savory crepe and a sweet crepe, so I could "revise my opinion" of the place. I noticed how a couple reviewers' on here raved about Magdalena's creperie in Fairhaven, and one asked if "anyone has ever tried a good crepe in their lifetimes". You don't have to be in the middle or upper class to enjoy a good quality crepe. I came back here with an open mind, and my roommate (who by the way hasn't been to Magdalena's) gobbled it up because I couldn't let the taste sit in my mouth, let alone my stomach. The savory crepe we got was the Garlic Chicken Pesto. You know the feeling you get when you try a McDonalds chicken nugget for the first time, and you like it? But then you remember the movie Supersize Me, and how you're probably eating the eyes and the flab of the chicken instead of any actual meat, and as you look at the crisp golden edges you see that McDonalds is just hiding something revolting under a pretty crust? That's exactly how I felt with this crepe. The chicken was incredibly dry, the pesto was blah and the mozzarella cheese was greasy. The tomatoes were obviously not fresh (or tasted lack thereof) and the onions overclouded my taste buds with the pesto. Prisoners wouldn't be able to eat this crepe without wanting to throw it back up. In comparison to another creperie, a place I am sick of because I ate so many of their crepes, Mt. Bakery; you can taste the delectable quality and even my roommate admits it's much better. And it's just one iota better because of the freshness, the crisp taste and how the flavors mend together perfectly. The Garlic Chicken Pesto crepe didn't even have the crepe batter going for it. The sweet crepe we got, I was actually excited for. I thought, "well, I want to go through with this with an open mind. The savory crepes are obviously terrible, but what about the sweet?" So I ordered the Banana Crème Pie crepe. What a huge disappointment. Let me get one thing straight - I have a sweet tooth like no other. I love my high-sugary high-sweet goodies. But this was not only sweet, it was blah. How does that even happen?! It's like the flavors thought they were in love with each other but ended up being disgusted by the others' past regressions. Like a terrible Jersey Shore episode (keep in mind I only saw one episode and never again). These aren't crepes; these are cruel prison dishes. Prices are mediocre for quantity, expensive though for quality. The only way you can get away with charging based on quality of the crepes are by charging EVERY crepe no more than $3 or $4. I know the café has expenses, like profit margins, employees, cost of food, etc. But their food cost must be maximum 10% of $4 - 40 cents - per serving to be generous. There is only ONE GOOD THING about this café, and that is the customer service. I see how bad reviews get responses from the owners and that's admirable. I also like how friendly the people in the kitchen are and how nice they are. The café improved in terms of payment options since my last review, and is better with service for sure, but I still feel like I am going to vomit all day every time I just take a small bite of their food. I cannot recommend this place to anyone, especially an enemy. I wouldn't even send Kim Jong Un here, if it meant that there'd be actual poison in the crepe and he'd die instantly. While he would certainly deserve it, I couldn't send anyone here on purpose. The food is disgusting. read more
