    Amazing crepes in the city! All crepes are rice crepes so they are gluten free. The shop has a wide variety in menu items whether you're looking for something sweet or savory. We got the goat cheese pear & honey and the lox. It was a little messy so be cautious with kids but the shop gives you a paper holder to tear as you make it further in your crepe. They are all made to order too so prepare to wait an extra few minutes but worth the wait! The shop is being and cozy with free wifi if you wanted to pop open a laptop and get some work done.

    Really good crepes. They have some unique flavors that they do really well such as the crème brûlée that I really enjoyed. Their drinks are also really solid. Would definitely come back again and am jealous of anyone who can frequent this establishment.

    This is the second time that I have been to Crepe & Bean as I live in the West Loop. Sleek, contemporary coffee shop that is located int he Presidential Towers. I don't eat crepes very often, but these crepes are excellent! They are super soft, fluffy, and they have some great combinations. The California Breakfast had two eggs so it was extremely filling and it had extremely fresh avocado. The Banana Nutella crepe was loaded with Nutella and bananas so it was very sweet and had a ton of flavor. The crepes are messy and I think they need some better napkins as they have bar napkins (small that hold a drink). Coffee is pretty good overall. Prices are pretty average for Chicago and the staff is friendly. Overall, if you are a fan of crepes and coffee, you should definitely check out Crepe & Bean!

    Love the concept and the crepes were delicious! The cappuccino and latte were not bad but not amazing. The inviting space is connected to an apartment building, with a range of different size tables. I can see it being a good place for remote working or catching up with friends.

    We visited around noon on a weekday, and while it wasn't busy, it also wasn't empty. The atmosphere was comfortable, with some people working and others enjoying their meals. We both had delicious crepes, and they were surprisingly easy to eat. My friend noticed (too late for me) that the holder has a tearable section, making it even easier to eat without making a mess. I'll definitely be back!

    I live in the building so I am lucky enough to get to eat here pretty consistently. The food is ALWAYS delicious and the coffee is great. Specifically the caramel popcorn latte (sub oat milk) is the most innovative coffee recipe I've ever tried and it did anything but disappoint. The staff is superior as well. Always welcoming and willing to give recommendations. Lera recommended today's meal to me with enthusiasm and not only was she a pleasure to speak with but she was right on spot! Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

    Yummy California Breakfast from Crepe and Bean!

    We were in a hurry and in search of coffee and something light for breakfast. We are so happy we found Crepe and Bean. We love breakfast and what is better than breakfast that you hold in your hand? Yay!!! Breakfast in a crepe! We ordered the California Breakfast which came with scrambled eggs, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, spinach, and avocado all served in a freshly cooked crepe. This hand held breakfast delight was so tasty. All of the ingredients worked together for a fantastic breakfast flavor. We also had two of their lattes which were very refreshing. We really enjoyed our first stop at Crepe and Bean and will keep it in mind when we are in the neighborhood in the future and need a yummy breakfast.

    I was looking for a coffee shop in the loop and ran across Crepe & Bean. As the name implies, they have crepes and coffee, but they also have smoothies and smoothie bowls. Plus, the crepes include sweet and savory options. What's more, the savory crepes use halal meat. What more could one want? I had to check this place out. The interior is nice and spacious, and the ambience is relaxed. I like the decor, especially one of the paintings that I unfortunately didn't snap a photo of. Service was friendly. I decided on a spicy beef crepe and a cappuccino, although I would have liked to try a smoothie as well. The crepe was presented like a bouquet of flowers. Very cool. It was kind of hard to eat, though. The crepe itself was excellent, and it wasn't overly sweet or anything so it worked perfectly fine with savory fillings. As for the fillings, there wasn't much ground beef in there, but the little bit in there was quite tasty thanks to the sauce it was slathered in. Even though it was called spicy beef, it wasn't spicy at all. The matchstick carrots and red onions were nice, but unfortunately the bulk of the filling was lettuce. I mean, it's a good way to get your greens, but I also like my protein. The cappuccino was excellent. It had a nice, thick layer of foamed milk on top. Most places simply cannot get that right. It could be that some baristas simply aren't trained properly on using the wand, or other shops don't have very good machines. Crepe & Bean got it right, so the foam was very satisfying. All in all, a very nice lunch, coffee, or snack spot if you're in the loop.

    Found this spot because it was close to Union Station. My friends got the savory crepes and those looked really good, but I got an acai bowl because it was hot out. I like mine with as much fruit as possible, but there wasn't much choice on the menu. This is the first one I've had with cashews on top, which I wasn't a big fan of. Otherwise it was fine. This place is pretty nice inside with plenty of seating. If I lived nearby I'd definitely visit often to study or something.

    Okay, so I've been making & eating crepes all my life. I also practically NEVER leave reviews for anyone. This place, however, just completely (and unexpectedly) shocked me with the best filled crepe I've ever had in my life. My partner and I were rushing to Union Station to catch a train, and needed a quick place to grab a bite -- only requirement being some vegetarian options. My partner got the California Breakfast crepe, I got the Lox crepe. Both were under $14. I doubted one portion would be enough for me after a missed meal, but decided I'd have this crepe and then order another later if I'm not full. The person at the counter was sweet and attentive, ready to give recommendations, and fairly sure we will *not* need extra portions. Hm, I thought, that's mighty confident. Turns out: they were right, I'll probably be full til next morning. Let's get to the meal: Presentation - *chef's kiss*. The crepe was in a funky plastic bag with handles, put in a cup for stability I presume. Honestly, I don't think it needed the bag, and I'd prefer to have a meal without plastic all over it. But since it's quick affordable food on a quick journey, I can't really complain. Flavors: the salmon was perfect, not too salty. The sour cream/whatever spread was FANTASTIC. Little bits of dill completed the flavor. The crepe itself was great: chewy enough, but soft enough, and most importantly -- it had actual flavor to it (a rare occurrence in the U.S.). Now, I'm really weird about avocados. A touch of those lil black dots, or some minor stringiness, and I won't eat it. This avocado was perfect. Speed: I've gotta say, it took about 15-20 minutes to make both crepes for us (they were still working on another order when we ordered). But holy crepe it was totally worth it. Space: the restaurant itself is nicely and simply decorated. There is a HUGE green velvet couch (we were too slow to snag it), and at least a pair of big velvet chairs with foot stools (I'm not kidding!!) where we eventually ended up sitting. The music playing was somewhere in the vicinity of Europop, which made me miss home. Conclusion: I wish I could come here every single week, because there are about 18 more menu items that I'd like to try immediately -- but alas, I simply do not have that much space in my stomach. Thank you, Crepe & Bean! P.S. Oh, my partner's California Breakfast was also delicious. He kept wondering if there's some secret bacon hidden in it (there wasn't), and after I tried a bite of the crepe-- I understood what he meant by saying "the egg is sort of... magically fluffy, and the spicy mayo! Oh my god!"

    Mascapone berries crepe

    Best Savory crepe I have ever had, I ordered the chicken teriyaki, I also ordered the mascarpone with berries for dessert and it was also very good, pretty packaging when you get it to go.

It was pricey but enough for 2 people to share. Metered parking on a weekend evening was easy. My only complaint is that it had a strange, unpleasant smell inside (we were there in the evening during the weekend of April 25th). Also, when I came a few years ago, it had a really cozy, welcoming vibe packed with comfy couches. Now, it just looks like basic tables and plastic chairs, lacking comfort, character, and charm. I'm hoping to return to try the sweet potato latte and the other shaved ices, but I hope they do something about the smell and make the space feel more cozy and inviting.

I found it interesting that the hot fudge was served on the side, but it's actually pretty smart because you get control how much (or how little) sauce you get. The ice cream is the highlight. It's creamy and rich, and it's got a really nice flavor, too. The hot fudge was less impressive, but that might be because I had already eaten a Ghirardelli sundae earlier in the day and their hot fudge just can't be beat. The service was super friendly and the atmosphere was kitschy and fun. It's a cool place.

It didn't really come together as a unified dessert for me. I wanted the brownie to be richer, fudgier, maybe even a bit sweeter. I would probably get something else next time. The everything bagel was a good texture, but the fennel seeds in the seasoning took me so far away from the classic "everything." They overpowered the other flavors, but the texture was fantastic. Overall, I enjoyed the treats I got, would go back to try some other options. I would probably give this 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. Also want to add how much I miss Hot Chocolate!
