We wanted to grab a snack and this spot has been on my list to try ever since they opened in the food court inside Ballston Quarter! - Wild Berries -- selected the mini size I've had crepes that were too sweet in Paris so it was nice that they have several mixtures with fruits. The portion size for the mini was a good balance, but it is quite pricey for $10. The service was fast since we stopped by on a weekend in the middle of the day. read more

Tswirl Crepe - Mini - Wild Berries - Creperies Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

In a belowground food court in a neighborhood with confusing roads, one of the finds is this crepe place. I had an oddly specific hankering for Japanese rice crepes. Mind you, the rice batter itself is a bit bland, but it just serves as a delivery vehicle for some nice toppings, in this case a mix of strawberries, matcha cream, and chocolate truffles. There was a short wait, but it was just enough time to survey the other food options. This food court has ample space to eat indoors and also you can get back to ground level outside reasonably easily. read more

This little gem is a winner. Don't let the little store located in the basement Food Court of Ballston fool you. They offer a great selection of desserts that will not disappoint. The husband and wife team that run the place is extremely friendly and helpful in guiding you thru their wonderful array of crepe dessert. If it's on the menu, they can make it to your spec. Add this subtract that... and whala you have the perfect crepe dessert of choice. read more

Tswirl Crepe - matcha and pistachio crepe - Creperies Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

The expensive crepes were underwhelming and not made with love. I could tell the batter was bland, even with all the toppings included. The workers were rushing to get the very few orders out. I like how they displayed their crepes, but the flavor and execution was not it. The oreo crepe looked decent on the outside, but the inside was mostly skimped of chocolate sauce and marshmallows. I didn't taste any "oreo custard" as advertised, but the yogurt custard was sour. It definitely isn't the sweet yogurt you get from yogurt shops. It just overpowered the whole crepe and made it unappetizing. The marshmallows were barely toasted too. I just feel like the toppings were all for show at the top, and then basic thereafter. The cream brulee crepe wasn't awful until I tasted the sour mangoes inside. There were probably 4 strands of mango inside the crepe, skinnier than french fries from McDonald's. For $12+, these crepes are not worth getting. read more

We are big T-Swirl fans and the ones in NYC were our first introduction tot he crepe franchise. If you like crepes with different sweet or savory bites then this is the place for you. It's on the first floor of a food hall and the venue is small to med size. There are about 3 servers in the back preparing the crepes and you can either digitally order or order in person. They have many crepes from mixed berry and cream, crème Brûlée, matcha, strawberry and Nutella and much much more. We have had all three of four of these both in NYC and now at this location and the crème brûlée was amazing in the VA location. Hot, sweet, soft and about 4 inches tall for the mini. You MUST get it if you like anything crème brûlée. All three fruit used was cut uniquely to fit into the crepe. The savory ones are just as great we had the shrimp tempura and it was also hot and crunchy. The avocado and the spinach were fresh "which is always important to us" and the crepes were very tasty and sweet. The shrimp was crispy and the crepe all about 6 inches. The crepes are wrapped tightly but not to tight that you can't taste all of the flavors. The crepes were light golden and a little brown on the edges. This place is awesome and we will be coming back again. read more

Well well well! I live in springfield where good crepe places are hard to come by. & if I'm missing one please feel free to let me know of them in my area! I love the crepe spot in fairfax, but it's super annoying to get too with traffic. This one is in ballston mall which is not very convienent if you drive. You have to pay for parking which if you take into consideration makes the food you end up purchasing more expensive...however, if you walk this is a great location. Anywho, I wish there was a crepe location like this near me cause I think I'd be their best customer! Haha. They have a touch screen to order and you can customize it pretty well. I love that they have mini versions cause as much as i love sweets I can't eat a whole one if it's super loaded. I got the lychee matcha mini crepe! Absolutely delish!!! And the ingredients tastes so fresh! I love it. They have savory ones as well for lunch which I should have gotten instead, but sweetooth was kicking in. I WILL FOR SURE BE BACK AND TRY THE ENTIRE MENU! please don't leave! Open one near me!!! Lacking one star cause I can't stand the parking situation! read more

I'm obsessed with the lychee and raspberry crepe -- it's the perfect combo of fruity and sweet without being too heavy. My fiancé got the banana and Nutella one and was so happy and content afterward. Definitely a win for both of us! The staff was really accommodating, and I especially appreciated the person at the rose custard station (I think that's what it was?) -- he was super kind and even added extra for me when I asked. That little gesture made my day. It's tucked downstairs with the other restaurants in the Ballston food court area, which actually gives it a cozy, hidden-gem vibe. Kinda cute, honestly. Highly recommend if you're craving something sweet and unique! read more

I feel like this review really just comes down to your preference and taste for desserts and I'm pretty specific about my desserts. If you just like sweet chocolate, you'll like it. It's wasn't bad just didn't meet expectations. The Strawberry Nutella crêpe was thin around the edges and not particularly warm. I got it to-go, but all I did was walk for 5 mins before eating. The thin edges meant it was crunchy to start and I like a chewy crêpe consistency. But as I ate more it didn't get any chewier. For a swatch of Nutella and two sliced strawberries I didn't expect it to come up to $12. So I would say it's pricey as well, but I was expecting quality. I think I was the only one ordering at the time so it came out pretty quickly, and I got it in my plastic to go bag which is like a mini clear umbrella bag. Service is standard when you order through the compute, you don't really interact with them. It's the Ballston mall food hall so ambience is super casual with lots of seating options. read more

My friend and I were looking for some post-dinner dessert and found this place in the ballston quarter food court. We ordered on the tablet, and the food came out in about 10 min. We got the banana and strawberry/banana sweet crepes, and both came with a good amount of filling! They're quite large and my friend finished the entire thing. Would recommend for a sweet treat in ballston. read more

Not a bad place for some crepes. Located in the ballston quarter. Got the strawberry banana one, it was an extra 2 bucks to add Nutella, total 13.70 which is pretty expensive. You order at the kiosk. Wait time was a bit long, and I requested a bag in the kiosk since I was getting it to go and didn't receive it. Not a big deal, but it's alright. read more

Was super excited to try the crepe brûlée here after seeing them in Japanese vlogs for so long! Crepe brûlée with strawberries did not disappoint! It's located inside the Ballston Quarter mall in the basement food hall. Very easy to find once you take the escalators down since the space is large and open. Ordering is done through a touchscreen so service interaction is minimal. Oh and bonus points for being gluten free! Can't wait to come back to try their thai iced tea and green tea crepe! read more

Located in the basement of the Ballston quarter. You order at the counter on a screen. They make gluten free crepes on request. I got the banana Nutella, which was amazing. Some of the flavors are available in a regular or a mini size. Not a lot of interaction with the staff as it is all through the kiosk. They offer Togo bags that are very practical if you have to walk with your crepe! read more

Quality of crepe: 3/5 Size of crepe: 2/5 Convenience/ambiance: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Came here on a weeknight and was so excited to try their gluten-free crepes! I got the strawberry crepe and was quite disappointed - the crepe was sooo tiny and had very little flavor, and the toppings didn't add to it. I finished up the crepe in just a few bites, and it wasn't filling it all. Additionally, it took about 20 minutes to get the crepe, which is pretty slow. One perk - it's at the bottom of Ballston Quarter with other food joints, so a great place to gather with folks. read more

I got the mango raspberries crepe and it was SO good. I also got to try the lychee romantic and it was a hit as well. I love the balance of fruits and chocolate and the portion sizes were large and delicious read more

Overall good flavors. The staff are very friendly and will work with you on any modifications to your order (within reason). For settings, it's in a mall so be prepared for food court seating and they can't control the overall atmosphere. Because it's in a mall you should expect to pay for parking, unless you're within walking distance. There's plenty of parking, it's just paid parking. The selection of crepes is good and there's a well-balanced use of ingredients. The only downside is the crepes aren't made fresh so if that doesn't bother you then definitely give this place a try. For my first visit, my wife and I went savory and then sweet, without any disappointment. I started off with the BLT and my wife had the smoked salmon. Both were very good so we went in for dessert, which was the mango raspberry (sorry, no pic). Again, this place is worth trying at least once. read more

The service was horrible. It was noon when I ordered but didn't get the crepe till after 1. There was one crepier working and he was filling the to go orders. Several of us who ordered in person ended up waiting at least 45 minutes for the crepe. Crepe was good though but service was bad. If you order need to do it online. In person service is sub par. read more

Saved us from missing crepe and the crepe we go to in Texas. This crepe is worth trying and note that the way how they made our crepe was hint of crisp on edge and soft in the middle plus all the ingredients throw in there made this crepe so good! Service was fast. The place is not limited to only this dessert but there is more to see and try. The setup is like a food court. read more

Service was fairly quick, but there was only one order ahead of me. Ordered the Blueberry Cheesecake crepe. I think it needed a little more blueberry flavor, but the tangy cheese spread and custard inside the crepe was really delicious and paired well with the gelato and crepe. I appreciate that the crepe batter is gluten free too. There were some items sold out and some items "coming soon" that I was interested in, so I hope they are available the next time I'm back! read more

Just opened in the Ballston Quarter Food court. I love crepes! So far they just have the sweet ones but the options are very creative and tasty. I really liked the banana chocolate. It's a little expensive but a nice add to the area since it's unique. The staff was ok but they were definitely overwhelmed with opening weekend. read more

I only got a drink here, did not try the crepes but was disappointed. I got the ube coffee and after tip it was around $8 and we finished it in 5 sips. I kid you not. The drink was delicious but packed with so much ice that it was gone in only a few sips. Really disappointing for an overpriced drink, especially since there was only 1 size option. Would recommend less ice or lowering the price! read more

Tswirl crepe is in the underground food court of Ballston Quarter. The area has stands from various restaurants and a common seating area. Tswirl provides crepes ranging from strawberry Nutella to smoked salmon. Each crepe is wrapped into a cone shape and provided in a cardboard cone protector pocket. You can easily make a meal out of one (or two) crepes! Especially the savory crepes are well thought out with the ingredients. I was particularly impressed with the smoked salmon one as slices were cut perfectly thin to fit it into the crepe shape and matched with carrots, spinach, beans and other ingredients which made it crunchy. My only request was that it could have done with a sauce. An evenly spread layer of cream cheese would have done the trick. If you're in for a sweet crepe, I would recommend getting the banana or strawberry with Nutella one and adding custard to it. The crepes were prepared quickly, and they even provide you with a barcode when you finish ordering so you know when to go pick up your food! read more

Very nice eatery, although a bit expensive in my opinion! Nice occasional treat, though. I had the chicken teriyaki crepe, which also had corn and carrots, as well as some greens and other condiments. As a drink, I had the Vietnamese iced-coffee with matcha. It was my first time having an iced coffee with matcha, which made a nice addition in my opinion! read more

It was expensive, and just ok. My teenager had a sweet (Nutella & banana) and a savory (smoked salmon) and I had a mini matcha chocolate. They were all served chilled, which was okay for the sweet crepes but weird for the savory. We were missing Obi Lee and are looking for our next favorite crepe place, sad to say we haven't found it yet! read more

Obsess with the matcha! I would come here everyday if I didn't live in Alexandria. I wish they would open a new location in Annandale because this would be a total hit!!! I recommend the matcha, creme Brulee or just the strawberry & banana still 10/10 read more
