The last couple times I've come I've been really disappointed. I just tried the turkey feta with roasted red peppers. I couldn't get passed the amount of crushed black pepper on it. That topped with a single slice of turkey for $8 was REALLY UNAPPEALING. The sweet crêpes aren't too bad, but if you're paying the amount you pay, please for the love of food, feed me $8 worth of the turkey I paid for instead of pepper! I wish I had a better experience this time! read more

The coffee is excellent. However... to cut down on the losers and cheapskates taking advantage of unlimited refills, they had to limit it to a one refill per purchase. (but every now and then they wink and know I am a yelper and they pour me a third cup and call me stud!) I am lying about the stud thing, but i do scam a third cup every now and then... The Crepes are either fantastic and soft and delicious or the other gal burns the crap out of the edges... not telling you which AM staffer is the better cook, so you should order and cross your fingers! if the crepe comes out perfect, then remember her name and jostle for cashier position on busy mornings... :) lol The drawback is the funky green couch that is missing legs on some of the sectionals... ghetto! *(it is in the hough district... hello!) read more

For such a decadent coffee house they play a lot of 80's cheese like REO Speedwagon, which sets a mood of casual chill. The crepes here are amazing. My personal favorite is the French Club with Boars Head bacon and apricot jam. It is a bit loud and chaotic, but I still like bringing my computer here, popping in to the wi fi and writing Yelp reviews. Writing a review of a place while you're there. Now THAT is living in the moment. read more

Gluten Free Crepes! Yummy, lunchtime and dessert crepes that are very large and filling! Reasonably priced, with good service. read more

Mon Ami is in its own category as a coffee/crepe shop. There's nothing pretentious about the place as the name might imply. The staff are sociable and genuinely care about the growing community. I always feel like family when walk through the door. They offer french press coffee which you can't find at most Starbucks and Ilike the espresso they use. As for the crepes, they are sweet and savory treats presented like in a 5 star restaraunt, except the staff have tattoos. Can't think of a cooler setting. read more

Metallion cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

So far we've only been in here for a few items, most frequently the mimosas and the crepes. For starters, the crepes are fantastic. They're just the right size and come with a little salad. They also offer gluten free crepes, and I can't tell the difference from a regular one (it's been years, granted) but that's a good sign. As far as mimosas go, well, you can't really mess that up, but they pour a nice big glass, which makes it worth the money. I've also had a black tea from here that was delicious. All in all, the prices are pretty standard. My only critique is the seating layout... we've eaten at a table for two before which is right next to where people order, which is kind of a bad location. Aside from that, Mon Ami is a great place for breakfast, coffee, tea, or mimosas! read more

This place is sooo Van-funky! Mismatched hand me down furniture, little plastic toy animal as your "order marker" for the table, stumptown coffee on a fancy espresso machine, crepes everyday or waffles on Sundays. And its in the funkiest 'hood called Uptown Vancouver! Come on a Sunday for a waffle and a cappuccino and start your day of rest off right. Read a Willamette week, a good book, bring a buddy, or people watch. They only do waffles on Sundays, but everyday they have crepes, which are tastey options too. The savory crepes are served with salad. I've had the pear and brie, cinnamon and sugar, strawberry crepes. Watch their board for crepe or waffle of the day. Here's a tip: ask for the waffle to be a crepe flavor... even if its not on the menu, they'll hook you up! I like to get cinnamon sugar waffles. =) You come here to funk it up, Vancouver style! read more

I wanted to come here for several years. I live in Tacoma, and saw the owner perform at the 2008 West Coast Barista Competition. I made it down to Vancouver and snuck away from the family for some coffee and morning grub. You can tell a place is doing something right when it's packed and there is a line out of the door. Here is my two cents: I think it's overrated. When you have to wait over thirty minutes for a cinnamon and sugar crepe, you're doing it wrong. When you serve weak americanos, you are doing it wrong. When you are getting customers based with poor service and coffee, maybe as a business you are doing it right, for you. I was saddened by my experience. I expected more, like an amazing cup of coffee. There were at least four employees behind the counter. However, even with that many people, they were having a difficult time managing a smaller crowd than the average Starbucks. I am not an ass and I will try this place again. Businesses have off days, but it sounds like this place is spitting out experiences like this to others. read more

I enjoyed a fabulous crepe and salad. I'm not even sure what all was in it, but it was heavenly and loaded with Brie. The coffee was great too. I'll be back! read more

Metallion cafe - Crepe!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Good prices and friendly venue, but alas the crepes "ne sont pas" French approved. The batter wasn't flavorful. And everything was either Nutella or meat filled. Not enough variety. Two stars only because they can make a mean cup of coffee or latte. Honestly their java saved their derrière. read more

This is one of my favorite go to spots! I have happily truer all of the crepes on the menu ( I have been here a lot). I couldn't complain about any of them! I always have a caramel hazelnut latte and it is so perfect! Not too sweet! Sometimes the service is a little slow but the wait is worth it! I highly recommend this place to anyone! ( though, if you have a baby, there is no changing station in the bathroom) Also, the environment is perfect. The decorations are the best. read more

Best crepes both lunch and dessert types. Stumptown coffee (French pressed with one free refill.) They have interesting art work on the walls, from local artists, that is always changing. The seating is eclectic, four stools at the window with a counter top. One big table and a handful of two person tables. A few couches and a magazine collection, incase you get bored on your cell phone. read more

I don't have any pictures, I dug right in because I was so hungry, My husband and I shared a smoked salmon crepe and a sweet crepe that had bananas, caramel, and cinnamon. Both were excellent. My husband also got the beehive latte which had pretty coffee art on top. I'm not much of a coffee person, I thought it was ok but my husband thought it was fantastic with a great almond flavor. atmosphere is laid back, decor is eclectic with some odd art. The bathrooms could use an update, and i was slightly annoyed that it was pay-as-order. We ordered the sweet crepe after we ordered the savory so that they wouldn't come at the same time and have the sweet crepe cool down. My husband also wanted to get coffee to go. So we had 3 transactions, they told me we couldn't pay at the end for everything. Great food though. read more

Located on Main Street in downtown Vancouver in an old storefront, Mon Ami is a wonderful privately-owned cafe that serves a variety of coffee, tea, chai, and most importantly, CREPES! My SIL was raving over this place, so I stopped in to get a gift card and had lunch. I'm so glad I was hungry because the salmon crepe I had was huge! It was amazing! They will be on my list for both coffee and lunch/ snack. Their atmosphere is comfortable, casual, and chalk boards feature their latest creations, menu items, and descriptions. Staff was polite, attentive, and really nice. Vancouver is so lucky to have a place like this! It took me forever to try them because they close at 5 and my weekends are packed. I was in town for a doctor's appointment and stopped in - so glad I did! :) read more

I've been here 3 times for take out and I've always been really happy with my crepe orders. We haven't had any of the more savory selections but the breakfast ones have been great. I would advise that on weekend mornings, this place gets pretty busy and if your doing takeout, I suggest calling ahead or plan on getting a coffee and hanging out for a little while. I love the photos hanging in the seating area as well. Nice place and we will be returning. read more

Mon Ami is my new friend because: They have a sign that says, "Parents, please watch your kids or they will be given three shots of espresso and a new puppy!" Not to mention: fun seating + stumptown coffee + beer and wine + yummy crepes = happy me :) But really it was the sign that made the experience.... Thanks Mon Ami....I'm heureux! read more

Great place to get a cup of coffee and read the paper as you're waking up. It does have a very good, chill vibe to it, which makes it a good place for sleepy-eyed caffeine addicts that haven't yet woken up. Laid back, with good (Stumptown) coffee, and comfortable seating inside (with a few spots outside). Don't come if you're craving a huge artery-clogging breakfast, although their crepes looked pretty good (I didn't have one on this trip). read more

Excellent find!! SSmallmall little place specializing in crepes of all kinds....DELICIOUS!! BOTH SWEET & SAVORY CHOICES. We had the turkey, feta, roasted red pepper. They are so thin and the flavor is yum! read more

Metallion cafe - Enjoying The Elvis!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Not to shabby. Nice little place on the main drag; I like being able to people watch. For the first time, ordered a spicy chia and it was actually spicy. Had the spinach, bacon, and tomatoe crepe with Swiss. It was good and hearty, However the paper thin bacon doesn't add much to the flavor; couldn't really tell if there was bacon in it until I opened it up. I know I have no say in what products they buy, but some nice thick cut bacon from a local butcher might do well, or maybe peppered bacon. Either way, still a good place to sit for a bit and watch the world go by. read more

this is a yummy CREPE shop! you can eat dessert or breakfast sorts...all i am sure are good! i had a pumpkin one in autumn...mmm. we loved to watch them being made! ----------------------------------------------------------------- So I went there the other day, and they had Key Lime Pie crepe! Oh it was nice sour and sweet! But the woman forgot it, and maybe 15 minutes later my friends said go tell her, so she said the paper must have got stuck to another one. :/ She gave me a card for a free drink. But the strawberry limeade had more bitter not sour or sweet, I think they put the peel in it. So I keep it at 4 *, as I see they still need improvement. read more

Metallion cafe - a welcoming atmosphere! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Lovely little breakfast/brunch spot on Main St. I met a friend here to have a book club meeting and it was the perfect setting. The ambiance of the place is warm and inviting - comfy chairs and couches give it a home-y feel. The crepe offerings are varied in both the sweet and savory categories. I had the vegetarian savory crepe with Brie. It was a total home run! I also had a chai latte and my friend had a mocha latte with her crepe. We probably sat there for close to three hours and nobody bothered us. We had to bus our own dishes, and get our own water, but this added to the community feel about the place. The place was always full without being overly full, and patrons were respectful. I would definitely come back here if I end up in Vancouver again! read more

I thought, let's try a creperie in downtown Couv- can't go Wrong, Right? More like Right, I was WRONG. From the moment I walked in the door the two women working there ignored me and gave me the worst service. When I sat down to wait for my food it was apathetically (borderline rudely) handed off to me. I took two bites of the crepe, three of the salad, and found myself craving flavor and texture. I'll compare the crepes to bland, tasteless, spongy... well, sponges. I hate passing up such a cute spot (in such a great location), so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say they were having a bad day. Also, I didn't try any sweet crepes (only savory), so perhaps another chance will change my view on them. read more

Crowded & very busy at 10a on a Thursday. Eclectic, artsy atmosphere. Lots of little ones with their parents :) A bit of a wait.....but to be expected with a tiny place that is this busy. Food was good.....coffee good. Nothing outstanding. read more

Metallion cafe - Pretty coconut macaroon latte...hope it tastes as good as it looks! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This cafe is super cute and serves a nice variety of both sweet and savory crepes. My friend and I came for lunch a couple weeks ago, and decided to each order our own savory crepe, then split a sweet. The pear, brie, and ham was my favorite! The salmon was okay--not enough salmon in there, lots of cream. The raspberry bacon chocolate was awesome. Definitely not a combination I would've thought of, but definitely glad we tried it. Seems like a nice neighborhood coffee shop. Will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop/cafe in Vancouver. It's wonderfully weird in the most comforting way when you are tired of the standard snooty hipster spots. The coconut curry lattes are addicting. read more

I'm not one to post bad reviews of local restaurants but i had to remind myself not to go here again. Crepes were too thick and mushy and just very bland. Service is VERY slow as well. Interior is cute but that's all it's got going. read more

Mon Ami, my friend, is a downtown Vancouver staple, a small cafe that instead of serving an array of crappy bfast items specializes in delicious crepes! They have an extensive menu of savory and sweet crepes that are sure to satisfy anyone's tastes. I particularly enjoy the smoked salmon and the one with brie cheese. Their coffee and tea selection is good and they display local artists around their walls, with art for sale. Merci mon amie, for being always there for me, with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere to enjoy it in! read more

Stumptown Coffee and tasty crepes. Enough said. This is the kind of place you'd rave about if it was south of the Columbia, but it's right here in the 'Couve. Everything's great. I stop in at least once a month to check out the new artwork on the walls. It's a good way to fuel up before heading out to the Vancouver Farmer's Market. The prices are pretty reasonable. You can get out for under $10 easily and feel you should have spent twice as much. read more

* My coffee wasn't terribly good... * And the crêpes seemed overpriced for having so little filling inside. * The decor inside the place was a bunch of random art everywhere... Not very tastefully arranged. * My meal was ok... I had a latte and a crêpe. Came out of there feeling a little hungry, actually. Didn't seem like a lot of food for what I paid for it. read more

Water is great. No ice, but that was probably because of the below freezing temperature outside. Hopefully they have ice in the summer. Oh and their crepes are delicious. I recommend the vegetarian crepe for savory and the cinammon dulce in the sweet. read more

Top spot for breakfast in downtown Vancouver creep special with strawberries and cheese don't forget the whip cream yummy. Kid friendly and nice people here great barista and Stumptown coffee. read more

The flowers on the tables were gorgeous. The only reason I get them a 3 is because the batter to me seemed to have an after taste. I love Vivace in Portland and that is what I was comparing them too. We got a sweet and savory crepe to split. The savory one was actually pretty good. I think it was turkey, and cheese. Not sure what else's was inside. The Nutella one was just ok. I also got a white mocha that I was not impressed with at all. When I got to the bottom it all made sense since all the syrup was right there. Overall, great place in Vancouver but I would prefer Vivace over this any day. read more

While visiting Portland for business we found this Awesome Cafe! The Service, Atmosphere, Food, and Coffee are Excellent! Fair prices as well, we had the Ham & Pear Crepe, Club Crepe, Beehive Latte, Quad Shot Soy Latte, and a Lemon Poppy Seed Scone all for $31.90. read more

This place has a homie feel. It's got a twenty-third street hipster vibe to it. There is a bunch of amazing art on the walls to enjoy. The crepes are amazing. I love the triple berry yogurt smoothies. I saw one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen before there today. The staff are always nice and efficient. This is just an overall great establishment. read more

On my exploration of Vancouver, I really wanted to like this place. It is charming from the outside, and has that independent feel. in Uptown Vancouver, on Main, I was looking forward to the friendly atmosphere. However, I was greeted with a long line of customers who seemed less than thrilled. Maybe it was being met with instant dissatisfaction that affected the overall feel of this place, but I wanted to give the service a chance as I'm a firm believer that the service and product are ultimately what make a place good or great. I was sadly disappointed by watching the way the young lady handled and pulled the coffee. They are a Stumptown account, and I'm pretty sure if a rep saw the way the espresso was being pulled, they would not be pleased. The taste reflected the lack of professionality and pride in the coffee and the attitude of the day was depressing. I tipped regardless, but left unhappy, and threw away the coffee. I will be back some time soon on a different day at a different time. Hopefully this was just a fluke. read more

I had Brie and jam crepe with perfect cappuccino today for Mother's Day. Good food as always. I love their crepes. They have right size servings. I will definitely keep on coming back here. read more

Great food but takes WAY TOO LONG to get any food or coffee and there is a lot of miscommunication to the patrons on when food is ready. Cool idea maybe review work flows? read more

Really good crepes here at Mon Ami. I had the Nutella and banana, which I highly recommend. I didn't have any coffee, but a lot of people seemed to be ordering espresso/latte drinks. They have two types of crepes: sweet, and savory. Not the most exotic recipes, and not a place I would describe as fine dining, but the food is good and unlike a thing else in vancouver. It's an interesting place, with lots of art on the walls. I will be going back. read more
