Menu was varied. Everything looked good. The tables were not cleaned as people got up, so there were not a lot of options to sit even though it was not very crowded. The food was ok but the crepe was dry on the edges.
Came here on an afternoon walk and the vibe was really nice. Love the decor and the stack of vinyls available on the side. I tried the banana flambee and the texture decent but I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavor. Lil pricey but the service was good and it's a good place to sit and rest.
3.5 stars. Great to have a crepe place in the area, and this place is ok. Got a complete crepe and a strawberry one. Reasonable if you are in area or craving crepes, but not a destination place. Pluses: Solid selection of sweet and savory crepes Friendly staff and quick service Not too long of a line, even during Saturday lunch. So so: Croissants and other baked goods are cold, so they are just ok. Bit crowded space, right next to the door, so feels more of a quick grab and go or eat and go place.
11/29/2024 This little place in the Ferry Building was not busy when we arrived. It was small and quaint, towards one of the back entrances. The plain croissant and pain au chocolat croissants were fresh, flaky and delicious. We ordered a Nutella crepe for Little O at 11:18 am. We did not get it until 11:30 am!!! The guy making the savory crepes was cranking out 2-3 crepes versus the lady that made one sweet crepe. What is going on?!? The female employee at the register does not communicate at all with those cooking the crepes. She seems overwhelmed taking orders, bagging pastries, and making coffee. Then when Little O went to eat her crepe we noticed something cooked into it - a piece of paper! We brought it back to the lady at the counter. She did not apologize at all or offer to have a new one made. We just asked for a refund. She happily gave it to us but still no apology. We gave two stars because the pastries were pretty good. But to have paper cooked into the crepe definitely turned us off (one star since you can't give zero stars).
So after checking out the very busy farmers market at the Ferry Building, we decided to sit somewhere and get some food. Friend told me she already had an early morning snack of hard boiled eggs from the 7-11 close to her hotel, so I should get whatever that I wanted. We happened to pass by Grande Creperie which was on my "to try" list. Very busy on the particular Saturday we visited with lots of tourists. Line was a tad long and I had to wait maybe 15 minutes to order. I'm starting to appreciate those order it yourself type of kiosk in addition to in-person ordering. Maybe I'm just hungry and getting impatient. Signs of our time. Anyhoo, I got the La Marguerite crepe and an Americano. You pick up the drink first and then you can go find a seat with the order # they give you and a staff will deliver your crepe. The crepe itself is pretty substantial as it was a buckwheat crepe filled with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, greens and olive oil. My first time eating a buckwheat crepe. I ate it all by myself and it was pretty good tho I think I would want to try a sweet crepe next time. I reasoned that since it was a vegetarian crepe, it was fairly healthy and a good start to my day. Americano tastes like what it should. Ambiance is a small shop inside the ferry building with a few tables inside and some outside seatings. We prefer to sit outside as it was a nice day.
Eh, these crepes are just fine. I wouldn't go out of my way, though. But I thought it was fine for an afternoon treat. I had the lemon crepe and a matcha latte, while my son had a strawberry crepe.
The crepes are delicious but lacked just a bit of flavor. The service was great and the crepes came out pretty fast. Would recommend but wouldn't go out of my way to get it.
Cute French restaurant in a corner of the Ferry Building with both indoor and outdoor seating. We ordered two savory crepes, an iced latte, and a chai latte for a total of about $45. The crepes were quite good - light and not too heavy with fresh ingredients. The restaurant was quite crowded at noon on a Sunday with a line to order. There was no more outdoor seating so we sat inside, which was a bit cramped. Overall good choice for a light brunch or lunch, but a little pricey and crowded.
The croissants here are so heavenly!!!! Every single of them. Pro-Tip: be sure to mention "sweetened" when ordering matcha. The matcha was good but it had no sugar, so that was a bummer but in fairness I should've asked loll. Service is pretty smooth! They are located inside the Ferry Building.
The cutest French spot at the Ferry building! They have a wide variety of delicious savory and sweet crepes made of buckwheat flour and that crepes are huge! Love their bakery - all the pastries are in best Parisian traditions, buttery, not too sweet and flaky. Girls who are working there are very nice and efficient, you feel that they care. Their outdoor seating area has a lovely view to the ferry plaza and the Bay bridge, so I would recommend to come here on a sunny day and enjoy crepes and the view.
Small French crepe spot tucked in the corner of the Ferry Building. It has delicious food and quick and efficient service. Recommendations Saumon crepe Grande complete crepe They have sweet and savory crepes, and tea. They take card. The Ferry Building has bathrooms.
Cute atmosphere as you can sit inside or outside. The Nutella crepe was my favorite. It comes with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella. The crepe itself tasted yummy. We also got the savory ham crepe. It came in a healthier tasting crepe that was dark brown in color and crispier on the edges. The mozzarella one with tomatoes and garlic came in the same type of crepe. We got the chocolate chip cookie, and it was all right. They had other pastries, but I already had my mind set on the crepes, so I didn't try the others. (The pastries didn't look that tempting.) I'd only come back here for the Nutella crepe for dessert. While we were waiting for the food to come out, I went to go get coffee at Blue Bottle which now uses oat milk as a default. So, next time, I'll go to Red Bay for the Vietnamese coffee selections.
I am a crepe fanatic. I get them every time I see a place when I travel. That said... This is a quaint cafe, by the ferry departures, nice music playing and relaxed feel. You order at the counter & it was simple, they brought my crepe out. So no confusing 'what do I do' moments. I went with simple strawberry with jam (it's a French name I can't spell) and it was delicious. Jam is fresh purée & strawberries were ripe & perfect. The crepe is not my favorite style, I love them crispy at least on edges. But they were not too thick nor too chewy. Very nice texture & held up against the sauce. I would love some cream with it but appreciated the clean taste opportunity. Recommend!

Wife and I stopped by the Ferry Building for a quick lunch, so we thought crepes would be perfect. It turned out to be just an okay meal. We got the smoked salmon and mushroom crepes. I thought the flavors of both were fine, but the textures were a bit off. My wife pointed out that it could be the buckwheat flour that gave them a very grainy chew. Some positive notes were that the presentation was appealing and the portion a decent size. The staff was nice but they could use some more help with cleaning off the tables. Best of luck to them wherever they end up. read more
Cinnamon roll was phenomenal do not skip this treat. It was buttery and flaky and not too sweet. Service was good and definitely a little on the slower side there was only one person to make coffee drinks and take orders. Small indoor seating area but a large outdoor seating option outside on the pier. read more

We decided to come here because as we were walking down the pier, we saw 2 ladies from different parties with a giant croissant in front of them! I was wondering what was this restaurant. I checked Yelp and saw it's a creperie! We were thinking of getting some crepes and possibly ask about the giant croissant. They mentioned you'd have to preorder the croissant and it's also $22, wow lol. We ended up getting a dark chocolate croissant with strawberries and banana and the Forestiere, which has far west mushrooms, chevre, aged cheddar, onion jam, parsley, and garlic french butter. We ordered first, then found out seat outside with a nice view. I just so happened to sit next to one of the ladies with the giant croissant and asked to take a picture, which she was so kindly to let me do so. Our crepes were great, I really liked the Forestiere with the mushrooms and garlic french butter. I would definitely come back and try their other kinds, but not sure if I'd want to get the $22 giant croissant haha. read more

I ordered the Saumon crepe (smoked salmon, baby spinach, dill, crème fraiche) Pros: - cute spot to people watch in the ferry building - crepe served with a small side salad Cons: - buckwheat crepe may not be for everyone (very healthy tasting) - approximately $20 with tax and tip for a crepe - looks big but because it's very thin, it's not that filling read more

The location is great. The price is not that cheap. The service is a little lacking. The server and cashier were okay. But I had to ask two different staffs for water. The barista said later and totally ignored me. The crepe was alright. read more

I had the crepe with apples, which was pretty good! Service was quick and ambiance was nice. They were open pretty early - much earlier than most of the other shops, so that's definitely a plus. read more

Great place in the ferry for a quick bite. Loved their savory crepes! Its a bit busy on weekends with the people coming to ferry but was able to find a seat soon. Cute atmosphere would stop by again! read more
Sadly, not a fan. Didn't take us back to Paris. Many of the items weren't available when we came Friday morning (stickers, placed over the sold out options). I ordered the forestiere. It was incredibly salty and I didn't finish it. I also tried my husband's saumon, which was a smoked salmon, it was a little fishy in flavor to me. We ordered the pear chocolat as a dessert, it wasn't that good. The chocolate on top of the pears became super watery. This one was also not finished. Only about two tables inside in front of the shop, more tables are available outside. You order inside, they also have a good selection of bakery items which we did not try. If you're dining there, they'll give you a sign and bring your order to you. read more
Quick Summary - A few seats inside and the rest is outside - After ordering, you will receive a number with a stand. Look around when the staff arrives with food, that looks like yours - Food is delivered at the table, but drinks are served at the pickup section, so wait near the counter for your drink order. - Coffee is not sour We came here on a Saturday, and there was an event close by. Saturdays also have the farmer's market, so the Ferry Building was busy with people. Ordering this was not too hard, but the name on the menu is not easy to pronounce. I decided to point and nod, so I don't mess it up. We also ordered a cup of coffee to drink with the crepe. Someone from my group claimed a seat outside, while the rest waited inside until we got the drinks. The drinks were served first, but these were picked up from the counter. After grabbing the drinks, we went to our seats and chatted away until our food arrived. I don't recall how long we chatted, but it was a slew of topics. I would say, it took some time for the crepes to arrive. If it weren't for our fun chatter the wait might have more than 20 minutes. The food arrived one at a time per guest. Mine might have been last, and it was the one with the egg. I like the presentation of the crepe and how it's shaped differently from other crepes, where they are folded into a cone. All three took photos, but they looked similar in appearance; the difference is in the filling. I liked mine, where I was able to break the egg yolk and it spread through the crepe batter. My relative, who picked a different crepe had cheese that tasted a bit gamey for them. Mine was creamy and good, and the ham was delicious. read more
I love (LOVE!) a good buckwheat crepe, and they are difficult to find. This place has taken over the Frog Hollow Farms spot in the ferry building. I ordered the Forrester (mushrooms, onions and goat cheese), but added an egg (of course!) - always an egg-cellent idea. It was a friday around lunch time, so the ferry building was hopping, but there were plenty of seats outside. I opted for the small table just outside the open kitchen. Some of the crepe bites were excellent, and then some of them were just meh. I also think they need to get more on their game when the crepes are completed and ready to serve. Several orders I saw sat there for a good 5 mins before one of the 2 gals up front went to serve them. Also they are served on these cool-looking metal tray/plates, but I think that makes the crepes cool extra fast too. Favorite crepe in the city remains Chez Maman. read more
Big ups to the Grande Crêperie for opening early since my friend and I were looking for a spot to have breakfast. Service was relatively quick for crêpes although I'd recommend a pastry instead if you're in a rush. Food was good. We shared but I was running out of time so gave my friend most of his half back. Would return to try the pastries. read more

Got the salmon crepe. It came with a little salad and dill sauce. It was light and delicious. A good snack. Def not filling enough for a meal. It came out very quick after ordering. It's a pay first and self seat situation. The baked goods looked good too. I'll have to come back to try. read more
