I tried their strawberry smoothie with Boba and plain bagel with cream cheese. The food was good, and service was fast. It's a decently size location, with seating available and plenty of food to choose from. My only complaint is that it didn't feel very welcoming. Not sure I'd go back for this reason.

I have been sampling my way through their menu since finding them a few weeks ago, and so far you can't go wrong. My 3 year old loves their Choco Monkey Boost smoothies, and I love their savory crepes. I somehow have not yet tried the sweet crepes but friends have really enjoyed them. The space is bright and clean with tons of natural light. Free Wi-Fi, chess, and other details make The Creperie a great place to work, hang out, and bring the family. I am surprised it took us so long to visit, but our family loves this spot! My only warning: Parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of the day.

Absolute perfection, crispy on the outside with that caramelized, slightly charred sugar, and packed with soft apple pieces inside. The texture balance was unreal: crunchy edges with a soft, sweet center. The ube donut was good too, definitely on the sweeter side. If you love sweet treats, you'll enjoy it, but I personally wished the ube flavor came through a bit more to balance it out. The blueberry donut was another standout. Super soft and muffin-like with plenty of blueberry flavor throughout, plus a nice outer layer for texture. Honestly way better than a typical chain version. Donut holes were solid as well, simple, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was fast, and the baker was super friendly, hooked it up with extra donuts, which made the experience even better. The vibe was welcoming, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

It's New Year's Day, and we stopped in for a few sandwiches, pastry, and coffee…read more We ordered there and food came out fairly quickly. The place looks well organized and clean. I liked that the music wasn't blaring loud. The sandwiches were both good (chicken salad and a turkey). The bread was soft and seemed fresh on both sandwiches. The creme brulee latte was okay; the flavor wasn't really detectable. And the cherry danish was dry (the breading) and seemed like it's been sitting there for several days. But there was a good amount of cherry filling. The young lady at the counter, and the young man at the pick up window, were both polite and warm. It's in a shopping center, so there was ample parking. Overall, it was a better than expected experience for a chain store.

I was disappointed to find that this food chain lacks basic fresh ingredients, including heavy…read morecream which I use for coffee but Its absence is a "tell" for anyone who bakes; a true bakery would have heavy cream on hand for scratch-made doughs and soups. This confirms that most of the "baking" here is simply reheating pre-made products. Furthermore, the eggs are NOT COOKED fresh on-site, but arrive premade in PLASTIC! Charging $4.00 for coffee that consistently tastes like "burnt bean juice" is unacceptable. Unless you have a "Sip Club" membership, you are better off paying extra and getting an espresso here or going to the nearby McDonald's, where the coffee is more affordable and tastes better. Is disappointing to see this location's compost bins constantly overflowing while they refuse to participate in the Too Good To Go program. Most Panera locations have been reducing waste and offer leftovers at a discount for over 4 years on the TGTG app, but this branch chooses to toss food instead. Between the waste and an unkempt lobby that is often unwelcoming for sit-down guests, the management here is failing.... Speaking of, there is a name on the door it says Jason Ezra but he's never available to talk to.

From seeing the bread being made in the back, to seeing the various amazing pastries, to the smell. This is the place to be. They are quick, take care of you, and make sure to answer any questions you may have. It's a really nice little spot to people watch or have coffee and look outside the windows. I got the breakfast sando, which was delicious, cinnamon roll with strawberry, chocolate croissant, and a cookie. I highly recommend the sando and the croissant, way more magical than I could have imagined.
