My husband found this cute spot after we just finished dining at the Cheesecake Factory. When we…read morewalked in it gave me such a European vibe. Calm, quiet, 2 men were playing speed chess in a corner. This is definitely a spot you come to relax grab a crepe and enjoy your afternoon at. We got a sweet crepe, definitely delicious filled with strawberries and bananas topped with Nutella, powder sugar and ice cream. Our service was quick and the lady at the front who took our order helped us with our selection. Our crepe came out within 10 minutes as well. My first experience was positive and I absolutely LOVED their outdoor patio. It reminded me of the little town in Hungary my dad grew up in where shops were all quiet and cute with patio dining that were surrounded by plants. I will definitely come back to enjoy another crepe again.

As most people know, Parisian dining is responsible for making dinner a culinary event capable of…read moresoftening the hardest of hearts. Perhaps, I am exaggerating but Remy the Rat would probably have my back, or the top of my head. Oui oui, in the great country of France a bit of chew and gulp is enough to make a cheeseboard an experience of bubbly ecstasy. It is the magic of France that has this capacity to turn the ordinary into meaningful memory. Thus, when I go to an eatery that boasts Parisian roots I expect to have fare that will make my baret fall of my head, while my taste buds bing brighter than the twinkles found in the City of Lights. But on this occassion, the fare felt short of its Parisian promise. In other words, I went into a bakery to get a croissant expecting buttery flakiness and what I got was not that, rather ordinary bread with butter that I could have found in my fridge. I think that I have become a member of a French firing squad. And that is not my goal. The place is lovely. Sort of. Ok. let me stop myself, and write with more specific details to paint an acurrate portrayal of my visit. And I know my final portraint will not hang in the Louvre, or it might not be read, but at least, like the French I took my twirl at bat. I ordered two things, at this cafe, as I took a break before continuing on with my evening. The first was an ice latte. As another Yelp user commneted it was "just average." For me speficially, it did not have the chill of a plesant night, more the lack of a chill that belongs to a lukewarm product. Regardless, the coffee did its thing-- perk me up through the power of caffeinne. Not much ouch here. I ordered one of their classics: a create with cinnamon apples, chantilly cream, and powdered sugar. That sounds about right. The bites were sugary and sweet and tasted of applies that were dressed to be fancy. But in the whole the crepe was casual cuisine. I did not detect the whim and craft of Parisian haute couture. However, it was perfectly fine. It had done nothing wrong. It just wore its fancy clothes and did not glow in them, just kind of wore them. What I appreciated was the fact that they aim to decorate their house with fragments of Parisian culture to help a patron trasport themselves to Paris without the need of a passport stamp. I took a lot of pictures. Some of the stuff was cute. But in the end the amalgation of all of the stuff they have made the place filled with Parisian chatckes. It was a travesty. The collection did not come together, as jigsaw puzzles that finally reveal the Eiffel tower with the background of sky burning with fireworks on Bastille Day. But they still have charm. And I don't mean charm like the prizes one can find at a garaga sale, I mean charm like the prizes one can find at an auction sale, where budget shoppers attend. For instance, there was a red bird inside a cage. And even though my Parisian knowledge is so vast that it can fit in a can of tuna, I cannot connect why a red bird signals French philopshy and culture. There are a lot of posters that effectively take me to a sidewalk cafe. For a sprig of a moment. That I liked very much. I struggled between three or four star for this place. The item that leaves no room for critique is their patio. One cannot sit there and relax amongst twigs and vines, and a fountain that had water but maybe did not spout. Here I can imagine having a coffee and a pasry or a different dish and finding Paris in rest. And perhaps on this day, there offerings would hit a different knell. Quasidodo would want be to give a second chance. People who look like him want others to offer second chances.

We had not been back to MCC for about a year! It is still a great place for breakfast or brunch…read more There is still street parking and a lot near by behind the businesses on their side of the street. They still have indoor and outdoor seating. Near open on a weekend, they were not very busy and it was quiet like on our last visit. The lady who took care of us sad that she is the sister of the owners. She was super nice and very attentive. We got the quiche Lorraine and a banana-Nutella crepe again. The crepe had consistently good quality compared to our last visit and is still just as good to comparable crepe places. Still not many places make quiche and of those that do, even fewer make the dense and thick slice pie style MCC makes--which is the good and high quality type. The quiche was actually better than our last visit and while we do not know, it still seeks like they make it on site. You still need lactaide to eat if u r intolerant, but it's definitely worth it. Recommend you get fruit instead of salad with it. Since their food is so rich/caloric/comfort food, we cannot come here too often, but when you are in the mood for a treat, this is a great place to go! Definitely recommend to give them a try!

Let's start with the positives: Staff was very friendly (chef and waitress). Felt very welcoming…read more Food was exceptional, we had the French Burger w/ Fries , Sea Bass and for dessert, the Crepe Suzette and coffee. The place is cozy and has the old bistro vibe with both indoor / outdoor seating. Price is on the higher end, but the quality and portion size substantiate the price. Then, for the not so great and why I cannot give 5 stars; We mainly went there because of a Restaurant.com certificate that we acquired last week. Great time to try a new place we had not been to, right ? Well, as we sat down I presented the certificate to the waitress and she looked baffled. I said "Is there a problem?" She replied, yes, we have not accepted these for many years, we don't advertise on Restaurant.com anymore. I told her, that I just got he certificate last week and clearly they were still on their website and selling certificates. She said she would need to call the owner to clarify. I said great, go ahead, but we would like to order first because we wanted to have dinner anyway. In the end, they said NO, they cannot accept it as they have not done business with Restaurant.com in many years. I said ok, no problem. Now, I would have given 5 stars and actually make plans for another trip there real soon.....if they would have accepted the certificate anyway, as I'm a new customer and you would want to retain me as an ongoing one. That is how business should be done, if you cared about keeping your customers. I would have understood if moving forward, they told me that they would not be accepting these anymore, but at the very least, make me aware and accept the one I had brought tonight. The certificate being legitimate, they could have easily checked with Restaurant.com by calling their toll free number to validate it. These are the little things that make or break the feeling the customer gets from your business. Do you care if I come back....or maybe not. Lastly, not sure if you can afford not having a customer come back, but judging by what we saw on a Friday evening at 7pm, we were able to call ahead and get a table right away. When we arrived, there were only 2 customers sitting indoors and 4 customers sitting outdoors. Does not seem to be a busy Friday night here. Management needs to take a bigger interest in the decision making when it comes to a few dollars. I could be coming back again and again and spending way more. After all, it's just my 2 cents.

This post is mostly for that info. We ate Nutella banana French toast and Hawaiian French toast (made out of Hawaiian bread). They tasted a teeny bit burned, but they had a good consistency and they looked perfect. It could just be my taste buds. Good location, parking on the street and right next-door. Very nice servers. Clean restroom. Will go again. A lot of food looked excellent.

I looked up French onion soup on Yelp, saw the average score, and decided to come down after work…read moreat around 5:30PM as stated hours were open until 10pm. I'm not sure if it was closed early due to a family emergency, decreased operating budget, staffing, or loss, but it's disappointing to take time to drive down and find nothing about current operating hours. If they update the operating information on Yelp, I'll gladly update this review if I know when I can have lunch or dinner there. Until then, I wouldn't expect to revisit any time soon.

The food here is on point. I ordered the cumin lamb wrap at the staff member's suggestion, and I…read morewas not disappointed. It was well seasoned and hot off the grill. If you like the sichuan numbing spice flavor, you'll love the flavors here! Be aware that their spice levels are legit. I ordered medium, and that was about as spicy as I could go (generally, I have no problems eating jalapeños). She also recommended the cucumber salad, which was also spicy and Sichuan style. If you like spicy, definitely get this! My friend got the pork belly wrap and liked that too. Portions were generous. I also love that you can roll the packaging; very clever design! For the record, the employee also recommended the crawfish, Peking duck, and beef wraps. I would definitely eat here again!

Easy to miss -- it's tucked away on a small side street, and the place itself is pretty compact…read more That said, they've managed to squeeze in a few dining tables, which is a nice touch. The menu has a solid range, with good variety across different meats. More importantly, the food actually tastes authentic. Having tried 煎饼果子 in Tianjin myself, I can say this is genuinely close to the real thing. The Beijing Roasted Duck and BBQ Pork are both worth ordering. Parking is available at the city parking structure nearby.

There always seems to be parking under the bridge nearby which isn't the best of places, but the meters don't work and parking is free on the street. I think we pretty much ordered the same as last year, but we were hungry after not eating all day at a volleyball tournament where prices are inflated with so-so food. The prices here are much more affordable at roughly $12-17 for entrees and soup was like $6-8... I didn't request a receipt and now forgot.. it was very affordable though. Service was friendly and my son remembered the same gentleman serving us last year both times too. I had the spinach feta pepper crepes and french onion soup. My son had the breakfast burrito and Royal Crepe. He was disappointed it didn't come with ice cream this time as it did in the past. Not sure if they were out or if that was a menu change, but he enjoyed it just the same. I noticed the same this time that the crepes are sweet for the spinach and feta, but I end up eating every single bite as they are really good, just seems sweet with items that typically go with salt. The french onion soup was so flavorful I didn't add the crackers and while not all oohey goohey cheese melted and dripping down the sides, it was something I wanted to finish before I got to my crepes. I could name several other places where this french onion soup outshines the competition, it was wonderful. We will be back again next year, same time and can't wait to come again!

Went with the Bastille, which was just eggs and cheese, and topped it off with some hot sauce. Although advertised as a timeless French classic, the crepes didnt quite hit the mark as they were about twice as thick as they should be and a bit spongey as well. It was pretty good still, but not as delicate or light as expected. The space is cute, but not prefect as overhead lighting is stained and doesnt go with the ambiance. Once served I noticed the dishes didnt match either, and yes the order was the exact same item. Not a bad place if you aren't expecting traditional crepes or mind all the little details.

This spot is super trendy for their creme brulee crepes! I've had them a couple of times now and…read morethey're honestly really good. The custard is creamy and delicious, and you can choose from different flavors like original or matcha. I especially like the crispy burnt sugar on top, which gives it that classic signature taste. They also add cornflakes inside, which I think is a nice touch because it gives the crepe some extra crunch and texture. Sometimes there's a line since it's a pretty popular spot, but luckily it moves pretty quickly. Overall, definitely a solid dessert spot in Little Tokyo. I've enjoyed it every time and will definitely be coming back again soon!

I took my niece to T-Swirl Crepe in Temple City because they are conveniently located in a plaza…read morewith a lot of snacking options. We were alternating between sweet and savory. T-Swirl Crepe was our sweet option. They have an Afternoon Mini Crepe Special for $4.99!! What a deal!! My niece got the Mini 1 Banana Chocolate Crepe ($4.99) and I got the Mini 5 Matcha Chocolate Truffle ($4.99). What really surprised us was another deal for Thai Tea ($.0.99/each). WHAT A DEAL!! Sold!! So we both got a mii crepe and a thai tea. While we waited for them to make our crepes we picked a comfortable table to settle in at. They have a few tables with half booths inside, and a few small tables and benches they share with other shops in the plaza. So we get our crepes and we're really enjoying it. It's amazing for $4.99. Halfway down... there was something strangely sour... whipped yogurt... why?? We both made these faces at each other. Not into it. My niece said next time she would remove the whipped yogurt and add strawberries to her banana chocolate crepe. For my matcha chocolate truffle I would just remove the whipped yogurt and it would be perfect. We only ordered the Thai tea because it was so affordable but it was super good thai tea. Not too sweet. Great value, especially during the afternoon specials. I would definitely come back!

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at T Swirl Crepe. I purchased multiple crepes…read moreand made sure to order the same size for all of them, but one of the crepes was noticeably smaller than the others. On top of that, it was missing toppings that I specifically paid extra for. It's frustrating to pay for a certain size and additional toppings only to receive an order that doesn't match what you paid for. I understand that mistakes can happen, but the quality and consistency should be there, especially when customers are paying for extras. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing and left me feeling like I didn't get what I paid for. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes sure orders are prepared correctly and consistently moving forward. **for clarity -- it does not note that the crème Bruce only comes in a mini size. It's not noted on menu nor is the creme brulee listed under the mini selection
