French Press coffee
Melissa H.

Ah crepes... somewhat elusive in Reno, yet delicious when you can track them down. Thank goodness for Creme Cafe! Our most recent visit to Creme was a Saturday morning when they happened to be celebrating their 7th birthday. There were mimosas generously flowing, free cupcakes passed around, and of course party hats for all! On any given weekend morning, be it a birthday party or not, parking can get a bit tricky here. If there are no spots available on St. Lawrence, just nab a spot down one of the side streets and enjoy the short stroll. On to the food: Creme is best at crepes, by a long shot. My favorite is the Hen House - stuffed with chicken and various veggies and topped off with 2 over easy eggs. Their crepes always turn out just perfect - they keep their form but almost melt in your mouth - and the fillings are always so fresh. The runny eggs are an unexpected yet welcome addition, adding a kind of sauce to run the crepe through. Magnifique! We also enjoyed the cinnamon roll French toast, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like - cinnamon bread made french toast-style with fresh cream for dipped (they call it "icing" but it's not overly sweet.) In the past, we have loved the Farmhouse and Cobbler crepes as well. A big draw to this place is also the French press coffee, which is pretty hard to find at breakfast cafes in Reno. It is so delicious and can be sipped without any cream or sugar. The only complaint I have about this place is the service can be a bit spotty, depending on the day. They are super friendly, but not very attentive. Perhaps an extra server would remedy the problem? Either way, Creme Cafe has been a Reno Midtown staple for 7 years now. They care about the food they serve and it shows!

nutella crepes with potatoes - $9
Irena S.

Had breakfast here today (Saturday) and got here around 10am. It wasn't super crowded (there were a lot of people there but there were like 5-6 tables open). This was a roller coaster of an experience here so bear with me through this entire review haha. My friend and I came here because it was around the time when Peg's is usually super crowded, so I was counting on some good service and short wait times here. We waited about 15 mins and there was a couple in front of us that had been waiting apparently a super long time. I wasn't sure why we had to wait so long when there were a lot of tables open, but maybe they were slammed in the back? When we finally got seated, we asked for an order of beignets to start off, and then my friend ordered the vegetarian crepe with potatoes ($10) and I got the nutella crepe with fruit ($9. Nutella, bananas, I was on my period so I was having some intense chocolate cravings). The beignets were fluffy but super dry, and there wasn't enough powdered sugar on them so we were both kind of disappointed. We kept eating and drinking our waters for maybe another 30 mins, when I finally followed up with our server about where our food was. He went to go check and then apologetically came back and said he forgot to put in our order after the beignets. My friend and I were bummed, but of course we said it was fine (I mean we were already here). He said he would give us our beignets (a $4 value) for free and a 10% discount, so we were like okay. The food still took a long time. By the time we actually ate, it was 11:30. (1.5 hours after we had arrived). Also, they gave me potatoes instead of fruit so I had to correct this. The food was actually very delicious, but I was pretty upset at this point because I was starving (I hadn't eaten breakfast that morning because well, we were getting breakfast here...) The crepe was really good, and the potatoes were good even though I didn't order them. The fruit was good too - an assortment of pineapple, plumb, cantaloupe, etc. The portion was good for the price, an average sized plate where I didn't feel super stuffed. However, since the whole mixup was a huge disappointment (I was also suffering from PTSD from a 45 minute wait at a jack in the box the night before) - when he brought our bill, I politely asked the server if it was possible to have a bigger discount because we waited 1.5 hours for our food. He said of course, and a short while later came back with our check 50% off and a coupon (BOGO 50% off Tues-Thurs). THIS deal - I thought made more sense. TBH if it was my restaurant, I would've offered this entire meal for free. I was glad that he said yes to my proposition, but I also wished that he offered us 50% off from the get-go (10% off of a $10 per person meal is only $1, and I think the amount of time we waited and how patient we were deserved a better discount). I originally entered the meal about to give it 1 star because of the long wait, but the fact that the food was pretty good and they were down to give us the 50% off at the end bumped it up to a 3/5. The atmosphere was cozy and cute/hipster, I just didn't know why the service wasn't that great when it wasn't super crowded. I think I would definitely come back in the future, but not the near future just because I really really hate waiting. I do appreciate their efforts to thank us for our patience though and the discount.

I stopped by this spot while on a Reno Food Tour. Right off the bat, I was blown away by the ambiance. This cute cafe is loaded with natural light and radiates freshness and cheer. The food tour small plate was a pluot (plum and apricot hybrid) cobbler Crêpe topped with whipped cream. Growing up in the south, I've eaten my fair share of cobblers, so I had high expectations for this Crêpe and it totally delivered! Of course, it isn't quite as cobbler-y as an actual cobbler, but it was a perfect Crêpe parody. I've never tried a pluot before, and we decided a good way to describe it is "sassy peach." It's slightly tart, but the whipped cream and cobbler topping help mellow it out. The Crêpe was paired with a mimosa, which was the perfect blend of orange juice and champagne. Aside from the wonderful food, I was also wowed by the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive and seemed to be really enjoying their jobs. Next time I'm in Reno, I'm most definitely returning!

I am having me some bad luck trying to get the full on experience with this little restaurant. I went here yesterday for breakfast and did not realize that they are closed on Mondays. Then today (Tuesday), I arrived here at about 7 minutes before closing time. Hmmmm.. But.. I am so appreciative of the staff working today. I had been thinking about begneits for about 2 weeks since it came up in a class I attended. Never had one in my life but was on a pursuit to figure out what it was. The staff had just turned off their fryer, but turned it back on just to cook my order and I really appreciate it. This what I call A++ customer service and if I could give higher than 5 stars, these folks would get it. The atmosphere - cozy little cafe. The people so nice and accomodating! Can't wait to come back and get the full on Creme Cafe experience. What a gret bunch of people. And the begneit was so good, warm with powdered sugar, a friend donut. Mmm... mmm

We decided to try this place out and stopped by about 10:15am on a Sunday. They must have just had a rush because they had several tables open but we were told it would be a 10 to 15 minute wait as they catch up. Several tables also needed bussed. They seemed to be catching up as we were seated and placed our order. While we were waiting for our meals, another employee showed up and started helping in the dining area which helped the overall efficiency. They have about 12 tables inside, counter seating and a few more outside. The restaurant has a cool urban feel and is in the heart of midtown. My wife ordered a breakfast crepe with spinach, onions and bacon. She said it was very good! I ordered the cheese steak sandwich which was also very good. Before our meals were delivered, they brought us the order for the table next to us by mistake which we said was not ours. We believe the food was a solid 4 stars. However the details and the circumstances make this a 3 star restaurant experience. Seeing the employs working so hard and being very service oriented made us want to give a better rating. As we were leaving my wife went to use the restroom, but there was no toilet paper.

Farmhouse crepe
Leah M.

Something needs clarification - crepes are supposed to be delicate. Not thick and fluffy like a pancake, not full of flavor. They compliment the food you pair them with. So the other comments about "bland" and "boring" crepes, don't seem to be very familiar with what crepes traditionally are. This is my favorite place in town for crepes. Other places make them too thick, full of air, not the right consistency. This place does it perfectly. The variety of choices on the menu are just right - sweet and savory crepes, as well as other choices besides crepes, for those not ready to try them. This time we had one savory, the farmhouse which is full of spinach cheese and bacon, and a sweet crepe the cobbler, which features seasonal fruit. I was very impressed with the fruit choices - pear, blood orange, pineapple, apple and melon, perfectly ripe and flavorful. Usually fruit is ignored and seen as a side dish, but they really know how to use the fruit as the centerpiece! I can't forget the potatoes, crisp, with just the right amount of seasoning!

Banana Nutella crepe with salad!
Tolini V.

Found this spot when I was in the mood for krepes! We went on Mother's Day so it was pretty crowded but we did not wait for longer than 5 minutes! The server was nice. My hubs got an hazelnut latte, he killed it. He said it was so good. I just got a hot chocolate that was unfortunately drowned in milk so basically it was hot milk. Our food took a while but like I said it was crowded, no biggie! Our crepes were super tasty! I do wish they put my salad on a separate place. It bugged me that leaves were all up on my chocolate crepes! Other than that this place was good! Their other dishes even looks good! I would definitely come again!

Inside the new location.  Nice and big

Creme has around for a few years now. But recently the business moved across the street. Nice move from the tiny house that had better outside seating then inside, to the larger building right a cross the street. Still simple docore because after all you're there for the food. I really enjoy this space more, many more seating possibles, and less drafty in cool weather. Order at the counter when you walk in. The large menu boards are behind the cashier. Then find you seat and the food will be delivered to your table. Wonderful fresh food. Most breakfast dishes are serve crepe style. They are just a little thick but have nice texture and flavor and are served with a choice of salad or fruit for a side. Bummer that I forgot about the great hash browns they and didn't order any. The bowls of grits looked brimming and the shredded pork was almost falling out of the bowl. Great service- waters kept full and dirty dishes cleared right away The one thing I will miss the summer is the large shaded patio. Now the outside dinning will be along the sidewalk Enjoy the always great food

So this was my first visit and I'll definitely try it again. From reading other reviews I gather they did not have table service... but they do have it now. We were greeted by the hostess/waitress when we entered and given a table. (Tables for 2 are really small). Simple decor was clean and inviting. I ordered the Farmhouse crepe .. bacon, spinach, caramelized onion & Cheddar. My daughter ordered the Englishman crepe...ham, spinach, caramelized onion & Brie. Both of us had difficulty finding the cheese. Yet, both crepes were quite tasty. Menu offered several other crepe options and a few sandwiches. Looks like breakfast had about 6 additional traditional breakfast options. The menu offered sides: potatoes or hash browns ?? (plus several others). Was curious; what's the difference, I asked... FYI hash browns are the typical shredded potatoes you get just about everywhere they serve hash browns and potatoes are cubed and apparently deep fried like french fries... both were tasty. I ordered a fat free cap.. had no fat free or 2% milk, but offered to make it with almond milk. Had trouble with the machine, so she comped the coffee.. that was especially nice. Since we were hungry, we ordered beignets. Not as fluffy as expected, but really quite good. They had some other pastries, I'll have to try on next visit.

French Press Coffee
Nathan B.

A abundance of crepes for my moms visit to town. It's uncommon in Reno to find a true French cafe, French press and puffy crepes and all. Sparse in terms of space (5 tables), like a true French brasserie, nestled on the edge of a strip mall of all places. For a second, you can be teleported from the suburban jungle to a quieter Parisian experience. They had a fair selection of French crepes (a bit thicker than a true French crepe) with both sweet and decedent option.

Nutella crepe
Noel C.

I came here for breakfast with my friend. We ordered the breakfast tacos, the Farmhouse crepe and the Nutella crepe. I was very surprised at how good the Farmhouse crepe was. It had spinach, onions, cheddar cheese, and bacon....and it was the best crepe I've had. The potatoes were also really good and perfectly crispy. Usually breakfast potatoes are too soft for my liking. My friend also really enjoyed their food. I got a vanilla latte which was good but nothing special. We enjoyed the Nutella crepe which also had bananas in it but I don't think I would order it again. They had catered at my work where I had tried the German crepes with lemon butter and they are simple but delicious. I would get those again. The inside is small but we were able to get a table right away. The service was also friendly and we didn't have to wait very long for our food. We definitely plan on coming back.

Seasonal Fruit Cobbler Crepe - Apple
Leanna R.

This is one of my favorite little breakfast spots in Reno. We've been going to Crème since they were in the tiny house across the street. The food is good and has great flavor. The coffee is good - hello French press. The potatoes are delicious! I do wish their crepes were actually crepes, though - it's really just the crepe folded with the actually toppings sitting atop the crepe instead of inside, but it is still yummy. I usually get the Seasonal Fruit Crepe and my husband gets the American Breakfast. The customer service could be a little better (in terms of attentiveness) as the last time we were there we waited almost 15 minutes before getting water and ordering food. It's a cute little place for good food that's affordable and if you don't mind waiting sometimes, it's a great option! Also, mimosas aren't worth the price, I would skip on those. But the coffee is great!

The farmhouse with potatoes.
Tiffany H.

I have been a Creme fan since they opened in their old location across the street from their current one. It is STILL a favorite breakfast spot for me and my sister. I LOVE the farmhouse - sometimes tweaked to add an egg on top or mushrooms, etc. They are always happy to accommodate these kinds of adjustments. The fruit is always seasonal and fresh, good quality stuff. The sweet crepes like the seasonal cobbler crepes are tasty and the potatoes... omg, the potatoes... Most importantly for me, they serve delicious french press coffee. I mean, crepes are wonderful, but if I didn't have great coffee to go with them, I would just feel incomplete. As a side note, do expect smaller portions. I happen to LOVE being able to finish every bite without feeling stuffed, but just note that if you are looking for a platter of breakfast this is not your spot - or be prepared to order some extras. All in all, Creme, I love you as much now as the day I met you. Let's stay together.

Their menu structure is very straightforward--they offer clear standard pricing with a variety of options, as well as optional upgrades. We decided to upgrade to the filet, and it was worth every penny! Ahead of the big day, they hosted a private tasting for us in Reno so we could finalize our selections and fine-tune a few details. On the day of the event, Chef Memo and his team arrived right on time and seamlessly converted our home kitchen into a prep station to finish and plate the dinner, which was served outside. They handled a few last-minute schedule changes with total ease. The entire staff was exceptionally kind, helpful, and attentive throughout the night. Menu Highlights: Appetizers/Stations: The taco station, mini lobster rolls, and sliders were huge crowd favorites. Dessert: The variety of mini desserts was a massive hit with our guests. At the end of the night, they left our kitchen spotless and neatly stacked all the rental items in the garage for pickup. We enthusiastically recommend Blend Catering to anyone looking for a top-tier catering team!

The sheer incompetence is out of control and also the doubling down because the follow up email still referred to Thanksgiving I still clarify again and then just get a response, we can't help you so even until now I don't think she knows what I initially was asking, so if you don't mind wasting your time by all means use this company, but if you don't wanna waste your time, the proof is in the pudding steer clear
