    Chai Tea
    Siyun Z.

    Very cute neighborhood tea spot that serve south East Asian teas. We came by after dinner for a hot chai tea with milk and it was perfect and strong. The people that work there who I assume were the owners were so kind to explain to us the tea options. I love chai and I also can't have too much sugar so was able to get a regular chai tea with no sugar. Will be back to try other things. Also the pricing is very reasonable for the area.

    Monday pre-lunch lures me for French crepe accompanied with Asian bubble tea. Unfortunately this bubble tea, waffles, creperies business does not offer black herbal grass jelly 凉粉, 仙草粉, 黑凉粉 drink topping and when inquiring the server appeared completely utterly baffled. Dining-in seating is limited and it is quiet for reading a book or work with one's laptop. After scanning the electronic menu affixed to the wall I choose my favorite default French crepe - Strawberry Nutella as I love fresh strawberries and Nutella. It was served on a disposable aluminum pan- oh, egregiously morbid!! Strawberry Nutella crepe $10.95 Freshly made that is very favorable and delicious with fresh strawberries fruit. Medium mango bubble tea $6.25 with mango star jelly topping $0.50 Freshly made with a good consistent flavor that is not high context doused with sugar or any artificial sugar syrup. Nota bene: Credit card fee 3.50% is charge for cash tendered as a hidden price gouging flagrant deception tactic, albeit my payment method was cash. No business cards are available for grabs and neither are takeout menus.

    Love their lamb paratha and crepes. Definitely go back, just a nice place for a quick snack.

    Chai boba tea and brown sugar boba tea.

    The place is nice with outdoor seating which was good. The service was okay. They were busy, guessing because of social media. But don't believe the hype. My husband had the chai boba tea, it was no where near chai flavor but regular water down tea. He got me the brown sugar boba, again the flavor was blah and packed with sugar. The boba was hard as if it's been sitting all day. I get boba tea or coffee at least once a week and this place can't come near to what good boba tea/coffee should taste like.

    Reese's Peanutbutter Milkshake soooooo good!

    The taste of the passion fruit bubble tea was great and the popping bubbles were fresh and tasty too! The place is very clean and the service was friendly. Highly recommended this hidden gem!

    Solid! We spent 3 weeks in Paris in the springtime and I fell even more in love with crêpes and…read moregalettes while there, so naturally I'm searching for good crêpes at home. Creperie on Ludlow St came up in my search and we happened to be down that way on Sunday. I'm also a huge ice cream and gelato fan, but husband is lactose intolerant so he prefers non-dairy. Last year we discovered the amazing vegan ice cream at Orchard Grocery, but I wanted the real thing this trip and he apparently hadn't wanted a frozen treat at all so wouldn't do Orchard Grocer for himself and a different place for me. Happy medium? Share a good crêpe! We found it at Crêperie. SO many choices, many similar to ones we loved in France. Extensive selection, but it didn't take long to decide on the apple-walnut-caramel crêpe to share, costing not much more than 2 ice creams. We watched the lone young man as he poured batter onto the round griddle to just the perfect thinness; as he expertly flipped it; as he loaded on plenty of apple compote, plenty of walnuts, and gently squeezed caramel sauce. Then he folded it into a neat rectangle, scooped it into an exactly the same size pan, flipped the whole thing over onto another griddle and left it to heat while he made a crêpe for the person behind us. At exactly the right moment (was he watching the clock? or maybe he's just THAT good!), he flipped it over, slid the crêpe onto a plate, artistically drizzled more caramel sauce on top and then gently shook some powdered sugar over it. Handed me 2 forks and knives and we sat on stools at the counter for our Sunday afternoon treat! Excellent! They have several savory crêpes (in Paris, those were usually buckwheat crêpes called galettes) and many sweet ones. Unfortunately it's more of a takeout place, with just the few stools at a counter inside, and a couple of small tables outside. I'm still looking for a genuine Parisian-style restaurant with a good selection of galettes and crêpes - but this was a great find and I definitely recommend it to you!

Strawberry Nutella $10.83 Sliced fresh strawberries and Nutella are my favorite combination. It is the only crepe that I have a desideratum as nothing else on the menu entice my interest. It was certainly delicious and fresh served on a cardboard holder in a small custom metal stanchion as I decided to dine-in. I would never made it home in one cohesive piece of my long-haul MTA NYC Transit bus ride to southwestern Queens, NYC. The crepe was also messy with the Nutella spewing out when biting and holding the crepe. The Nutella was very delicious and chocolatey. It was prepared in a open-kitchen. Price is standard as expected in 2026 stagflation era. French crepes reminisce me of a past visit to Paris, France of once idyllic times with my former love. Customer service is attentive. There is sufficient indoor seating with tables. This T-Swirl Crepe is located on a second floor small shopping complex. I did receive a sale receipt as proof and authority in support of my patronized visit.

These crepes were thin and crispy on the edges. The strawberry, chocolate truffles, and matcha paired so well together, and the crepes were stuffed. I also tried the Chicken Teriyaki Crepe, which was filled to the brim with spinach, corn, red onion, eggs, and chicken. There was a proportionate ratio of veggies to protein. The taste was somewhat nostalgic and reminded me of the sandwiches I used to get at a Chinese bakery. I tried the Strawberry Cucumber Iced Tea with lychee jelly, which was very refreshing and reminded me of a spa. There is a bit of a wait for your food and drinks after you place your order, but it's not an unreasonable wait. This was my first time trying T-Swirl, and I was really surprised and impressed. This creperie is located in a corner and is pretty dim, but there's a few tables and chairs inside.

    Appalling, Contemptuous Treatment of a Paying Customer…read more Shockingly horrible customer service. On August 13, 2026, I placed an order at approximately 5:40 p.m. The restaurant accepted my payment and prepared and served my crêpe without mentioning that they would be closing shortly. Just a few minutes after serving me, an employee abruptly announced that they were closing in two minutes. When I asked what I was expected to do, he told me I had to leave at 6:00 p.m. and that he could package my crêpe to go. When I objected, he rudely told me that I "should have known" they closed at 6:00. If dine-in customers must leave promptly at closing, they should be informed before ordering. I could then have decided whether to order my food to go or eat elsewhere. Instead, they accepted my money, served me, and then almost immediately told me to leave--as though their failure to communicate were somehow my fault. When I asked the employee for his name, he sarcastically replied, "I don't have a name." He then offered to call the company himself but ultimately refused to do so. This was not a simple misunderstanding about closing time. The employee was rude, confrontational, dismissive, and openly contemptuous. A business cannot thrive when customer service is nonexistent--or, worse, when customers are treated with such disrespect. I will not patronize a business that permits its employees to treat customers this way.

There was a nice balance of dark chocolate and marshmallows but not enough graham crackers. I enjoyed my skim milk latte and my husband enjoyed his cappuccino.
