Found a little gem while searching for crepes. Didn't realize the shopping center existed and we're glad to have found it. Not very much seating inside but they do have plenty of patio seating outside to the left of the shop. Service was great. We were helped quick and our crepes came out even quicker. Priced well and they were delicious. My kids devoured all of it. I was lucky enough to get in a taste before it was all gone. Definitely a hidden gem that we will visit again if we're in the area. read more

Located in a quiet neighborhood plaza called Crystal Springs Village on De Anza Blvd, Lily's Creperie is the closest oasis to the Crystal Springs trail in San Mateo. With plenty of lot parking and an outdoor patio, Lily's offers a variety of sweet and savory crepes, sandwiches, salads, drinks, and even some Vietnamese snack comforts. Lily herself is friendly and has regulars who appreciate her attentiveness. Since I'm a savory gal, I ordered the DIY crepe with salmon, goat cheese, mushroom, sun dried tomato, jalapeño and pesto. Custom crepes start at $17.25 Smoked salmon was extra $2 and goat cheese was extra 75 cents. The crepe was thin but not soggy, stuffed with a lot of flavors, and satisfying. Although the Vietnamese bbq pork sandwich was a little lacking in quantity of meat, I appreciated that it wasn't overloaded with carrots the way A LOT of other places try to scam you. The shrimp spring rolls were also light and I found the peanut sauce a little too chunky and sweet for my preference. Vietnamese coffee $7 was a bit steep. I left with a couple of boba drinks to go since it was such a hot day. Taro match latte $7.5 Thai Chai Ice Tea $6.75 with grass jelly extra 75 cents, boba another 75 cents Overall, I enjoyed dining at Lily's casual outdoor cafe. I read a negative 1 star review that sounded ridiculous -- complaints about the texture of the crepes seemed invalid. I found Lily to be cheerful and quick. Stop by to see for yourself! read more

Regretfully, we did not enjoy our crepes. 2nd time to purchase crepes. Ist time buckwheat. This time the regular crepe. Floppy, and strange texture. Did not seem like a crepe. Not much inside, little cheese, tomatoes had no flavor, little salmon. I requested a spoon, but they don't carry spoons? Utensils were thin plastic, cheaply made, and they gave away a cheap plastic bag (NO!) but then a sustainable clamshell box? why not all sustainable? Service was no good; staff unfriendly, not cheerful. Too many memu items to focus on crepes, such as smoothies, etc. Too bad. I wish we had the old place, The Magic Pan, restaurant in the area; now The Magic Pan really knew how to make crepes! read more

The crepes were great and the smoothies were super refreshing. Service was amazing and the store has a great vibe and atmosphere to it. Cool place to come alone or with others and just be. read more

The food was amazing. The ambience was number one and I just wanna say how the staff was very kind brought us anything we wanted to our table. If you have a chance in your burning game, please try this restaurant. Very delicious. read more

I love crepes, but only buckwheat, which are hard to come by and taste uniquely different. We stumbled on this place and stunned to discover they have both types of crepe with both savory and sweet options. We got their smoked salmon with a Vietnamese iced coffee ... one was more than enough for us to share. Though in the future now that I know how delish they are, I'll get my own and take leftovers home! Their ingredients are super fresh and execution soooo excellent! The mustard sauce is a must: tangy with a kick. They have a beautiful little semi covered patio, the place to be. The prices are right, customer service on the ball and friendly. Parking is free(they're in a strip mall :-) What a gem of a place--can't wait to go back! read more

I was in the area dropping off dry cleaning next door and decided to grab a bite before heading back to work. The menu is large so deciding what to order took awhile. So many choices that sounded tasty although I ended up with a classic. Unfortunately I didn't notice the outdoor seating as it's off to the side and I hadn't walked down that far. Instead, I ate inside at one of the 3 tables. The interior is nothing fancy at all. Very small, somewhat cluttered and pretty warm considering it was a cooler day outside. I'd defiantly eat outside if I came back. Service was pleasant and my order came out quickly. Strawberry Milkshake - it was fine. Not overly sweet or thick. Ham and Cheddar Jack crêpe - crepe was tender and the filling was pretty straight forward. Nothing out of the ordinary. The side salad was small pieces of chopped lettuce with two small cherry tomatoes cut in half a few slivered carrots and a drizzle of dressing. Maybe my order was just too basic and I should have ventured out to something more daring because I just wasn't wowed here. However they did have quite a few regulars come in and I noticed everyone was ordering the veggie crêpe so maybe that's what I should have tried. Maybe next time. read more

Such a sweet lil place, the owner is so nice too!! With both indoor and outdoor dining, it's such a cute spot for a quick bite. I've also been meaning to try their banh min soon, I love that they cater! The owner was also kind enough to put my mom's drink in the fridge while my dad and I went to town on the crepes. My order: Avocado Smoothie - It's so smooth and sweet, this was my favorite. Sometimes I come here just for this! Brie Special - This was something I've never seen on a menu, I love brie so I had to try. It was so delicious and a perfect sweet and savory crepe. Pizza Crepe - My dad really enjoyed it, it was huge and it came with salad. He wasn't able to eat the whole thing so we took the rest home. read more

*1 star for good banana and Nutella crepe that you can't go wrong with. *1 star for their friendly and quick service. Please don't get boba from here because all our drinks were awful. *High mountain jade milk tea - ???????? Tasted like water. Bland af and there was absolutely no tea flavor whatsoever. Got 100% sweet and it was just..... bland????? Like 0 flavor and sweetness. *Green milk tea - ????????? Again, 0 flavor and sweetness. No tea flavor, no milk, no NOTHING. What were those drinks???? We threw both away after a few sips; such a waste of money. Not to mention there were 3 people working but they 1) Gave me HMJ tea instead of MILK tea so they had to remake it 2) Forgot about our Green milk tea Anyway.

Very addicted to the thick & chewy Banana Split Crepes at Coupa Café at the moment.... Regretfully, I took my chances at this closer creperie. Their crepe is not crispy, not chewy and rather floppy. There was very little Nutella compared to Coupa's. The side whipped cream has no flavor and is poorly whipped. Most people can make better crepes and whipped cream at home. So ten bucks out the door and Back to Coupa I go... read more

I'm so glad this place is still in this plaza after all these years. This is a family owned restaurant that serves drinks, gelato, and crepes! There's a few booths for indoor seating, but more space outside that's really nice on a good day. We got two boba drinks and they were delicious. Great service from what seemed like the owner's son and low wait time. read more

Stopped in while charging my car. Ordered the classic crepe with lemon and it was GREAT! $9.00 out the door and it was worth every dime. The woman who helped was very nice and even offered water.

This little Creperie place is right in our neighborhood plaza next to Starbucks and Safeway. Never really noticed it until one day we realized this is a nice sunny spot for breakfast. So we of course ordered their signature thing which is crepes. Surprisingly my banana and Nutella one was soooooo delicious and presented very nicely as well. He said he love his fruit crepe too. There is only one table outside which is perfect for us. We can sit down with our dog babies. It's a small place but they do have a good menu for a nice breakfast. The service is very attentive as well. Will come here more often for sure. read more

I come here every two days. It is amazing. I love their Boba. I love everything about the place recommended thank you.

Giving an extra star to support small local business. It's so heartwarming to see the whole family working together. There's no indoor dining but has about 5-6 small tables outdoor. For $14.50, I got ham, cheese, mushroom crepe with a side salad. Nothing amazing here. For $15.50: smoked salmon crepe with a few pieces of fruit. With the raising cost, I understand businesses have to find ways to cut cost. read more

My wife and I had a great time here 2 weeks ago. Great food and drinks. We liked it so much so, that last week we picked up some food to go last week. However their boba drinks to go don't have solid lids or drink caddies, so moments after stepping out of the restaurant one of our drinks spilt in the plastic bag it was in and got all over my car. So that sucks. My wife went back in to explain the situation, asking for another drink, only to be told since it wasn't their fault they won't replace the drink. So after we spent around $140 on the two visits, and they couldn't be cool and whip up a drink that costs like $3 to make, I don't think we'll be going back there. They also didn't add beef to our spring roll. Update your online menu. read more

Lily's Creperie is a charming small space located in the Crystal Springs Village strip mall in San Mateo. Discovered while charging my EV, this was a great chance to kill time and enjoy an even greater snack. My fiance swore by the lemon crepe and it did not disappoint. I watched Lily make the crepe from scratch, placing fresh batter onto the piping hot griddle and flattening it out into a perfect circle. There's something so satisfying about watching a crepe being made. I love her generous use of butter as well, hoping it was the wonderful type they use in banh mi because if so, french butter is gloriously better. After some ample squeezes of fresh lemon, she folded the crepe, placed it in a to-go container and sprinkled some powdered sugar love with extra love on top in the form of fresh whipped cream. It is a treat worth waiting for, although at the time we went around 2pm, the place only had 2 visitors dining in. Parking is abundant so you should easily find a spot. Which means you should definitely go and give Lily's a visit. Bonus points if you also get the iced ca phe sua da. Amazing iced coffee that is strong enough to wake the dead. Satisfaction guaranteed. read more

Philly crepe: my main issue with this dish is that the bell peppers and onions were still crunchy and not browned/caramelized at all whatsoever. The meat was deli-style sliced roast beef, which is not right for a philly either, but the state of the veggies was what killed it for me. 1/5 Holapeno crepe: I only had a taste of this one, but it was much, much better than the philly. 5/5 Fruit: fresh, acceptable level of ripeness. 5/5 Thai tea: a little odd tasting, my companion commented that it tasted powdered. 2/5 Other: liked the ordering via touchscreen. Service was great. Food came out fairly quickly. Nice, shady, outdoor dining area. Easy parking. 5/5 I'd come here again, to try something else both food and drinkwise. read more

Today was a long work day for me. My last stop was in San Mateo. I was going to head over to that well-known coffee chain next door, but they closed early. Thank goodness Lily's was open. I was more thirsty than hungry and they had BOBA! I am probably the most boring boba order, but I'm glad I have options. I like Jasmine Green Tea unsweetened with boba because the milk can sometimes be too much but it's always too sweet. When I asked if I could get my order like that it was no problem. In fact, the person I ordered it from said she preferred it that way too! That made my day! And it helped keep me going on the ride home to the East Bay! If I had more time, I did see someone order a crepe with nutella - I'd totally get that! - There is outdoor seating between the cafe and Safeway. - Parking lot is very crowded, even after lunch. - You can order at the kiosk and pay with a card. - If there is someone available, you can pay with cash. - Can't walk into the restaurant. There's a kiosk and a temporary order counter at the door. read more

This place is still putting out delicious savory crepes that can be relatively healthy (buckwheat crepes are extra charge). New owner has kept the food consistent and tastes just like it used to. One of my favorite spots for meeting a friend as there's plenty of outdoor seating that is somewhat shaded. read more

I got a Brie Special dessert crepe as a brunch treat, and drove 3min to Laurelwood Park to eat it in a lovely setting. Ordered and paid via kiosk and they brought it out to me. The crepe was well-filled and delicious! It came with a big scoop of whipped cream which tasted homemade (really puts the canned stuff to shame) and some kind of sweet drizzle (caramel?) The melted Brie and lightly cooked, zesty strawberries complimented each other beautifully. The jam was a bit overkill though. Minus jam it would be a perfect savory-sweet combo. read more

Loving the Vietnamese coffee, combination sandwich (very authentic), chicken fire crepe, and Brie special here!

A few items leading to the one star: 1. The lady behind the counter was rude to say the least. I asked nicely for the watermelon juice if it was fresh and could there be less or no ice. The reply was filled with sass and a glare. "It's BLENDED." Scoff. 2. She made the crepe and touched it with her bare hands! No gloves. She creased and folded it with no gloves after taking our order. Walking around. Turning off their open sign etc. 3. We received our food at 4:45. She slapped our bag down and when we we sat down to open the bag, she demanded we are closed and ushered us out. Terrible and unsanitary! Never coming back. read more

This place is one of the few places that serve the closest version of French crepes, sweet and salty! I found it on Yelp while searching up crepe places in the area. They only offer takeout as the place is a hole in a wall and you can place your order online as well (GrubHub). Plenty of parking in the plaza so it shouldn't be an issue to park and enjoy the crepe in your car. I've tried the Ham and Cheese crepe and the Nutty Nutella crepe and the were both really enjoyable. The crepes are loaded with ingredients so it definitely hits the spot when you're craving crepes. They also include a fruit salad with the ham and cheese crepes which is nice. The staff is really friendly and service is pretty fast, you rarely need to wait. Overall Experience: Great place for a quick grab crepes if you're craving it! read more

Pros: Outdoor seating with limited capacity. Excellent breakfast/lunch spot. It's been a while since I've been here due to quarantine but the food still hits the good spots. I always order the strawberry banana crepe with extra whipped cream. My wife always orders the tuna sandwich. Both are excellent in taste and presentation. The food is light so you don't feel guilty eating something as heavy as eggs, bacon and toast. An order of a green powerhouse juice fits perfect with any order so be sure to try that as well! Come on by and support your local businesses or order takeout. read more

My expectations with crepes are high and this place doesn't disappoint me. Classic French style is usually my favorite and they made it so good here, the butter tastes good. I ordered it with lemon on the side, no cinnamon, because some places they put too much lemon juice. Will definitely come back to try out other items. This is my go-to crepes place now! This place is small, table with at most 4 ppl only. I think they can arrange tables outside for bigger group, no harm to call them before you come. Yelp check in with free Thai iced tea is still available. read more

Tasty Treats turned me into a savory crepe fan. Theirs is the French style crepe. The proof is in the dough. It's lighter and very pliable. Dont be confused when you walk in. Outside a signage says Lily's Creperie and up above also outside it says Tasty Treats in a big professionally made sign.The business is really now called Lily's Creperies. It will soon be changed and will no longer be called Tasty Treats. The old business sold candies and stuff. Run by a husband and wife team. Obviously Lily is the wife. We walked in when they were barely opened at 10:55 am or so on Valentines Day. They welcomed us and said we can order anyways. The inside is pretty small. Overall this cute business is very Frenchy:) A few tables inside and a few more by the side walk and a couple of very attractive tables by the side. We chose the attractive red tables. It is after all Vday! I had the #11. Eggs, mushroom, Havarti cheese and green bell pepper crepe. No sign of meat and yet I loved it. Wow! I was surprised myself. It was that good. Adam had #11. Ham egg cheese mushroon. Equally delicious. You can get extra eggs or meat for a few bucks more. I had the Very Berry smoothie- thick and really very berry :) Adam had the Acai smoothie. I tried it and I loved it as well. They do carry gelatos that you can enjoy on a cup or a cone or the ultimate- in the form of a crepe! My next target:) Awesome customer service from the couple. Great food. Definitely a fan! read more

I was really excited to come back here post-COVID and I was NOT disappointed. Everything is still delicious! I had the chance to try their Bahn Mi which I would also really recommend, but my favorite is still their incredible crepes. The dough is really perfect and they have all sorts of great filling choices. Nice little outdoor patio as well that has a good bit of shade. Still love this place. : ) read more

Wonderful service by Annie. Had a ham and cheese crepe to share, very tasty with the jack cheese. Then we did 2 different Ban mi sandwiches, delicious The Vietnamese coffee we had 2 with ice and one hot were just right! Never had before and brought me to my Panamanian roots! Then dessert we had the banana strawberry almond Nutella crepe!! Sinfully delish! read more

I always love coming here. The Nutella crepes are my favorite. I have been to other crepe shops before and at those shops the crepes get stale fast but not at Lily's, the crepes are made FRESH every time. The service is always nice, they have come out to help me before. Very small but cute shop. read more

A decently tasty crepe. Stopped in to Lily's Creperie for the first time on Friday afternoon. While visiting I ended up having one of Lily's Buckwheat Crepes made in their savory style #2. Ham with Jack & Cheddar Cheese plus Pineapple & Thousand Island. Mine left off the Thousand Island cooked in and was instead placed on the side. I also had a Aranciata Rossa Blood Orange) flavored Pelligrino. Overall I they make a decent crepe. The place it clean and neat. For the most part the staff are happy and welcoming. They even have a place outside to sit and enjoy your crepes in the sun, or in the shade. I recommend you sit outside. Inside is much louder for multiple reasons and not as pleasant. See my pics such as they are. I had wanted to take more but the owner Scott visited my table and expressed concern that an employee did not want to be in the picture. So the pics I deleted are not included. I offered to take more pics while excluding the person/people who did not want to be imaged. But Scott indicated he would rather I not do so. So Yelpers, be aware that he may visit your table and ask you not to take pictures as well. Strange as that may seem. Otherwise my experience was unremarkable for a creperie visit. Which in itself is a good thing because there was nothing I can find that would prevent you from enjoying their tasty crepes. Total for the bill was $9.45. A decent deal. Give Lily's Creperie a try when you are near. read more
