Amai Crêpe - Crepes - Gluten-Free Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Pretty tasty crepe that was prepared fast. I ordered the mixed berry with Nutella and it was sweet, refreshing, and chocolatey. The guy working was nice, fast, and efficient. There's some seating inside. Good spot to grab a quick bite. read more

My partner and I went back today for crepes for lunch. This time, I had the shrimp and avocado and they had the chicken teriyaki. We ordered at the counter, and they were brought to our table a few minutes later. Delicious, fresh, the flavors popped. Will be back. read more

Amai Crêpe - Shrimp Avocado - Gluten-Free Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Cute little date spot with sweet and savory crepes served like a cone. You definitely want to plan to eat in! The crepes were freshly made as we waited - love that they have gluten-free options too. The fruit in the crepe was freshly made and very tasty. Great when you are in the mood for something sweet, but not too heavy. Great place to go for a bite before or after a movie next door! read more

Great crepes, with several gluten-free options available. (The crepes themselves are gluten-free, though some of the sauces are not.) My husband and I ordered three savory crepes to share for a quick dinner: the Egg Omelet Salad Crepe, the BLT Salad Crepe, and the Angus Beef Salad Crepe. We asked for a medium spice level, but we'd describe it as more on the mild side--there was virtually no heat. That said, all three crepes were fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We appreciated the use of fresh ingredients and the clever crepe holders, which helped catch the inevitable drips and made them easier to eat. Our only critique is that the sauces leaned a bit too sweet for our taste. This is a solid option for a quick bite, especially if you're looking for gluten-free choices. read more

My family's started to make a ritual of dropping by this cozy little cafe whenever we're in the area. The cafe is run by a lovely, hard working couple who thoughtfully craft every crepe. They don't mess around with quality. I wish the best for them. I will note that the type of crepes they make are, like, some kind of rice flour based crepe, and not a typical wheat flour crepe (I THINK). I loved their crepes, but this is just a heads up about that in case it throws y'all off if you do visit. read more

I got and shared the Mango Tango Crepe. It was very good and came out quickly. I have to say that it was a bit pricy with each Crepe being around 9-10$. However all in all a great experience. read more

Amai Crêpe - Mango Tango - Gluten-Free Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

The ambiance of this cafe is very quaint and cozy and they sell a selection of coffee, tea, and sweet or savory crepes. The service was polite and patient as I took my time deliberating what to order. I ordered a mixed berry crepe and pistachio latte; the mixed berry crepe was freshly made and the server cut up the strawberries and arranged the crepe in front of me. The crepe was a good balance of fruit, custard, and layers of thin crepe, and it still tasted good even after I took it home and ate it about an hour later. The pistachio latte had a strong nutty flavor and I liked that it wasn't too sweet. The prices for drinks are comparable or slightly cheaper than Starbucks and crepes are about $8-$10. As this is located in Rockville town center near the Regal Cinema, there is 2 hour free parking in garage A, B, and C. read more

The food was good - not exceptional, but tasty and worthy. The prices are a bit hefty - three crepes and three small coffees were $36 plus tax and tip. The staff was okay. Courteous but not super inviting. The service was slow but the place is very clean and intriguing with interesting decor. They have savory and sweet crepe options - the sweet ones had more flavor than savory one we ordered. read more

This café is a very comfortable place to grab a bite and to get some work done. I tried a savory crepe for the first time. I usually get sweet crepes, but my dad was with me, and he was going for a savory crepe, so I did the same. I must say, I really enjoyed my crepe. It paired perfectly with my Chai latte. My dad also liked his crepe and chocolate coffee. I will definitely visit this café again in the future. read more

I've been coming here ever since they opened their doors in the Rockville Town Square! The owner(s)/management are always incredibly kind to me, and I've been so glad that they made it through some of the worst that the pandemic has brought so far to small businesses. Amai takes be right back to being in Japan with their Japanese-inspired crepes and crepe-flavors! My go-tos are the Tuna and the Mixed berry (I always add banana to it!). They also have the best coffee in the square, in my opinion, and there isn't a coffee there you could go wrong on! read more

I feel like this place has so much potential to be our go to crepes spot, but some things were not the best. If we were rating presentation, then 5 stars for sure! But overall, there could be some improvements. Some weekends we crave for crepes, but we haven't really found any that we love in the area. I went online and found Amai Crepe. It's a 20 min drive each way, but we wanted to try it! My husband and I ordered the Angus Beef Crepe and added egg as our main course. For dessert, he ordered the Chocolate Lovers and I ordered the Banana Nutella Crepe. The Angus Beef Crepe was delicious, but there was not much meat. My husband and I were joking that they put 1 piece of beef and shredded it into pieces. It was more of a vegetable crepe. The crepes itself were not fresh, especially for the dessert crepes. It was already a bit hard, as though it was made days ago. Anything with chocolate for me is still good though. Not sure if we'll be back for pick up on a weekend, but we would give it another try if we were in the area! read more

Omg, this place saved my life. I was craving for caffeine at 10:00pm, but didn't want to have a cup of 7-11 coffee favor water. Luckily, this cafe opens till 10:30pm on Saturdays. I know I probably have caffeine addiction, please don't judge me. I ran into the cafe and ordered an espresso chocolate. The coffee was pretty good; except, it could be a bit warmer. At the same, I saw they have a great selection of crepes, so I couldn't stop myself from grabbing a blueberry cream crepe, it turned out just all right. But I would still go back and try something different. read more

This review is solely based on coffee and comfort lol. I'll have to make it back for the crepe part, which from many other reviewers seems to be très magnifique The coffee is definitely solid though. My cup was hot and fresh and the gentleman who was helping me was very friendly. In fact... when I showed up he warned me that I was parked in the wrong direction on the street in front of the plaza and that if I didn't turn my car around... I'd get a ticket *wide eyes emoji* Thank you VERY much sir! I know that the meter people in Rockville can be brutal and he basically saved me 45 bucks *High five* When I went in, I did need to use the restroom, and I'll say - man they do a good job of camouflaging that bathroom lol. It's the black door that's covered in what seems to be wallpaper. I remember looking around and thinking... do they NOT have a restroom in here? Luckily, unlike in NYC, they have to have a restroom if their a restaurant in Maryland. In any event, the seating was comfy, and the small space feels a lot more open due to the wall of windows on the front of the shop. Definitely a nice little local business to support if you don't want to go to the massive corporate coffee giant that's in Rockville Town Square. This location is right next to the Regal Movie Theater. In between Potbellys and the movie theater entrance. read more

Great service, delicious food, cute atmosphere! As soon as we walked in we were greeted w/ a smile (from behind face masks) which is a plus for us. We got the Choc Lover and Blueberry crepes and both were perfect. It can be hard to find a crepe that will be satisfying and not make a mess by the end but this place got it right! I may have to come back for the Apple Pie Chai read more

The crepes here are pretty yummy! Stopped by before catching a movie at Regal. We got the blueberry cream cheese, matcha chocolate and mango tango crepes. I loved the blueberry one but I do wish there was a little bit more of the cream filling. The gelato was very good. I might stop by again just to get the gelato or try out the affogato. I also like how they're open later on weekends. The staff is very friendly and nice too. read more

Amai Crêpe - Cappuccino and an iced honey lavender latte - Gluten-Free Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

This spot's cool cuz you get a little portable dessert or entree that's wrapped up in a delicately thin Japanese style crepe. Both crepes were surprisingly delicious cuz I was so turned off by the service. The lady behind the counter seemed annoyed when we were ordering, she was really short with us. It took over 20 minutes for two crepes to come out, but she was clearly putting effort into her crepe art. Regardless, she made a damn good Matcha Chocolate Truffle Crepe, it was slightly crispy but still soft and stuffed full with chocolate and strawberries. Didn't even get to snap a pic of it. I didn't expect much from the Angus Beef Salad Crepe cuz I was ordering meat at a crepe joint, but this also surprised me. The beef kinda looked and felt like hydrated beef jerky, which might not sound great but the flavor was solid. Idk if they got a George Foreman in the back or someone cookin up steaks to order or what, cuz this was actually some tasty beef. Again, the crepe was soft n crispy and the greens/onions/peppers were fresh. Not really a quick bite or the warmest service here, but this spot is crankin out quality, handheld Japanese-style crepes with fresh ingredients, can't deny that. read more

I never heard of this place but it was recommended to me by a friend and I did not regret going! I like the quaint space it provides and the menu options were good. Definitely an ambiance I could get used to. The service was super nice and helpful. I only got drinks here but I would love to try to crepes next time. Overall, would come again for a nice light visit! read more

A lot of care is put into making the crepes and other treats at Amai Crepe! The crepes are good and come in individual to go bags. The placement of all the ingredients is super neat and refined. The ice cream parfait was simply cornflakes, whipped cream and a scoop of ice cream with some fruit lol. Overall, the food and service is good but a bit pricy for what it is. Still, it's cute. read more

Stopped by Amai after dinner out for dessert. The restaurant serves both sweet and savory crepes as well as coffees. My husband let me choose so I went with the Chocolate truffle. It was a beautifully crafted dessert, but I honestly did not know how to eat it. Embarrassed to ask, I started breaking off the pieces of the outer layer and then sort of took bites as of it were a sandwich... It didn't stay beautiful for long :) The crepe was tasty: I liked the matcha a lot more than I thought I would, but was dissatisfied with the lack of chocolate truffles within, I think there were four or so total? I also felt this was an experience snack at $8.48 (with tax) because getting a bubble waffle elsewhere would have been more food for the money. Trying to read the menu off of their screens is next to impossible due to the tiny print, so don't bother, just ask for a print menu. read more

Tastiest crepes & cafe food in the area. Their crepes are Japanese style, which is a crispy outer layer rolled with your fillings. It's a cozy little cafe with all amenities - electricity, WiFi, space, and food. Personally I'd work/research all day here if I could! They offered a special treat - a custom birthday crepe and latte. It was a heartwarming gift from the staff :) read more

Made fresh to order! The wait time was really long and the girl at the register seemed to be extremely confused about which order belongs to which person waiting. Maybe she was new. That kind of annoyed me, along with the other 3 people that were just waiting around for their orders. I took it with me in the car because I didn't have time to sit and eat due to the long wait. The crepe was light and crispy on the outside. Instead of using regular lettuce, they used spring mix which I thought added a lot of texture to the filling of the crepe. The sauce was a spicy mayo rather than a regular mayo which added more depth to the flavor. I would definitely come back to try this place again. Hopefully the wait isn't as long and the server isn't as confused this time. read more

Found a hidden gem in the heart of Rockville Town Center; Amai Crepe. It was a date night w/ the wife; outdoor seating. Ordered the shrimp & avocado crepe, a raspberry lychee crepe, de-cafe iced coffee, & iced passion fruit green tea to share. We decided to order another shrimp & avocado crepe after finishing the first round. Crepe wrapped in baby spinach, julienne tomatoes, shrimp & avocado in a sweet tangy vinaigrette. We could have easily order a 3rd one. Definitely recommend & definitely will come back again. read more

Great little cafe with amazing Japanese crêpes and some of the best coffee I've had in the area. If you have egg allergies, you can't eat the crêpes here, alas. However, they have a very transparent allergy policy, which is great. The crêpes are fantastic! I had an avocado, spinach, egg, and red pepper crêpe, which was to die for, and my partner had a lychee raspberry crêpe with mango added, and that was the best of the bunch. So fresh and flavourful. The coffee was delightful -- if they have the honey lavender latte, get it. It's delicious. A little spendy, expect to pay $7-12 per crêpe. But top notch quality, flavour, and service. Parking is rough and there's no WiFi, and the café echoes a lot. But a lovely little place worth a stop in. read more

Okay, so yeah, I'm giving this 5 stars, but it's a 5 stars based on a few things and then potential. 5 stars for decor and cuteness, atmosphere and location. It gets 5 stars because it the decor and atmosphere are creative and my wife loved it, dry flowers, brick walls and just has a hip feel for sure. Location, it's right next (I mean right next) to the Regal Rockville Cinema. Can you beat that, perfect place to go before or after the show. Okay, so 5 stars for potential why? The menu is amazing, but I just got a drink a Matcha Latte (my 1st Matcha and probably my last). The Match was all the rave I was expecting, but at least I gave it a go. But because of all the other drink options and the quality of their product I'm for certain I'd give Amai 5 stars, plus my wife loved her Chocolate Lover's crepe. If you are a crepe fan, this is the spot, with many sweet and savory options, it's a good bet that you'll find what you want and be satisfied upon departure. Friendly staff, friendly atmosphere, friendly decor and a place that brings a unique approach to the crepe world that you'll want to enjoy again and again. We are happy you are here Amai Crepe read more

I've been here twice and I keep wanting to come back here! The chicken teriyaki and shrimp avocado are what my husband and I keep coming back for. Each Crêpe is made fresh and they do not skimp on the toppings. However, you do need to wait a bit for them to make the crepes. If you're in a rush, the savory crepes seem to take awhile. I've had the hot honey green tea both times. It's a bit more sweet than I'm used to but still really good. read more

I came here with a friend after visiting the Spot and I was too full to get a crepe, but my friend let me take a few bites of her Matcha Chocolate Truffle crepe - Matcha and chocolate sauce, strawberries, and chocolate truffles (tastes like MeltyBlends??). The matcha chocolate truffle crepe was delicious. Not too sweet, but rich chocolate truffle with fruit and then matcha all around. Definitely a good choice. These crepes are legit! Rolled so tight into a nice perfect cone, just like the ones you can get in Harajuku! Glad to see they have Japanese crepes right in Rockville and that they have a variety of sweet and savory options. read more

I was surprised by a few things here. For one, I didn't quite get until I arrived that this was a Japanese dessert place, not your usual French crepes. I didn't realize that they do rice-flour crepes and thus can do a lot for the gluten-free crowd. When I was in there, I didn't realize that what looked like a mural on the wall was actually the door to a bathroom, which they have despite being a rather small place, which was handy. All that said, I walked by the neighboring movie theater and the classic Ben and Jerry's solely to eat here, and the surprises added up to something good. I decided to order the crepe with adzuki bean paste and various green tea flavored confections on top. Despite that description, the adzuki bean paste wasn't a major flavor and other ingredients came through equally strongly, including ample strawberries and almonds. It was all quite delicious and held together rather well. Since no one flavor dominated, the contrast in textures and tastes was impressive. Among my sources of dissatisfaction with them are that they don't do buckwheat crepes (buckwheat is certainly common in Japan since they make noodles out of it, French places often make crepes out of it, and it is nutritious and delicious). While they can avoid gluten and they asked if I had a nut allergy, they don't seem to have too much for the dairy-free crowd. And I wasn't really wowed by their savory options, as explained in part by the previous points. But would I come back for another cool-looking dessert crepe with a variety of flavors? Yes. Definitely yes. read more

Oh my Amai! I'm still thinking about my Matcha Adzuki Crêpe from yesterday....it was ALL THAT! Thanks to Annie T. and a few other yelp reviews for making my selection a little easier. This place is located by Regal Rockville Cinemas, cute place with a few tables and a brick wall which was a perfect background for my insta picture. Adzuki bean paste, matcha gelato with sliced almonds on top, strawberries, custard cream, chocolate pocky sticks, whipped yogurt with the crepe made out of rice flour so yay for gluten free! It wasn't too sweet and every bite was evenly a treat. I'm craving it again as I'm writing this review! The price was on the higher side but totally worth it for the flavor and presentation. Grateful I live close to this place. This is a perfect date spot! Can't wait to be back again to try a savory crêpe! read more

Lovely, light, and fresh! I ordered the chicken teriyaki wrap and one of my friends brought it over so it wasn't instantly consumed and was still delicious. The fact that they put red onions in my wrap, (and I cannot stand red onions in dishes), and that I actually ate it and thought it enhanced the wrap, should tell you everything you need to know! Not only did the wrap come in a very pretty set up, but it tasted just as good and that is a win: looked good, tasted good! I also had a dirty chai latte, which was also delicious!! She had the strawberry banana and was also equally wowed. I can't believe I haven't tried this place before but please believe I'll be there again soon. Yummo!! read more

The business is located where there used to be a cute little cafe with pretty good food, but hey, this isn't a bad alternative at all. In fact, I was really excited for there to be a Japanese crepe place since I'd only ever seen them in California or NYC. Amai may mean "sweet" in japanese, but actually you can choose from sweet or savory crepes. There is also coffee, milk tea, and boba. I had sweet, matcha chocolate truffle crepe, while my husband went for savory, the BLT. They're more filling than a typical snack, but not filling enough for a meal, so you might get hungry later. Both options were awesome. My crepe is a pretty standard option as far as crepe choices go. There was a slightly spicy sauce in the BLT that kicked it up a notch from your traditional BLT. Crepes tend to be softer in Japan, but these crepes had a crunchier texture. I imagine it's to better hold the goods in, and it gave a very satisfying crunch when you take a bite. I also think they gave some thought into the presentation of the crepe, on a stand and decorated. Prices are about $8-10 per crepe. In Japan they're usually $6-9, so a tad more expensive, but to us it was worth it because it's so rare here. I wish I lived closer, because I'd definitely come here often if I did. read more

I will admit I may have been overly excited to try this place, I mean, who doesn't love sugar on sugar, or just crepes? Hubs and I visited on a Friday evening and there were a fair amount of people there. We ordered a raspberry & lychee and a nutella & banana crepe. I liked the raspberry lychee cream, with the crunchy almonds and sweet cream. Everything seemed to blend together. The outer crepe was crispy and the inner layer was soft. What I didn't expect or really like (that is apparently common for all Jap-style crepes) was that it was (a) cold, and (b) crispy on the wedges. The crepes took an average amount of time (neither long nor short). Place was clean, employees were friendly. 3.5 Stars because maybe I'm just not a fan of the Jap-style Crêpe? read more
