The owner kept emailing me over and over again, even when I didn't respond. She made fun of a previous customer for dying of cancer.

If you like being called a "little bitch" by your server/manager or made fun of for dying of cancer by the owner, then this restaurant is great! However, if you like being treated like a decent human being, then I highly suggest you stay far far away. Let me explain... First of all, their name is Tulip Cafe & Creperie. When we went, there was not a single crepe to be found on the menu. We asked if there was a breakfast menu and the waiter just said "no" as if we were annoying him by asking and walked away. Then he returned with warm tap water. My friend ordered the lamb kabob for $26. For that price in a dumpy little town restaurant, you'd think you'd get more than 4 small pieces of lamb. But the serving was pretty pathetic. We politely asked the server if the order was correct because it was so small. He rudely said "That's what you ordered. Now eat it." He dismissed any attempt at trying to reconcile the situation responding to all our questions with a similarly dismissive answer before storming away. We called the manager over, expecting that he may have been better trained in customer service. Instead, he called my friend a "little bitch" and said he was "throwing a temper tantrum" when my friend just calmly asked a question. The manager then snatched the plate off the table, stacked a filthy, used plate on top of my friend's uneaten food and screamed in his face "You lost your chance to eat this. And you WILL pay for it." A few minutes later I gave him a chance to apologize and he said "if you act like a little bitch, I'm gonna call you a little bitch." Crunched for time before a flight, my friend was left to beg for his food back and eat the contaminated meal. And it wasn't even good. Having worked in the restaurant industry, I kindly emailed the owners to alert them of this unacceptable behavior from their staff. Not only was the behavior extremely uncalled for, but stacking a dirty dish on top of an uneaten meal violates health codes, especially during a global pandemic. I sent the email to do them a favor, expecting nothing in return. However, the response I received from the owner was incredibly shocking. You can read my polite, objective email below, as well as the 6 responses she sent me. There were more, and she's still emailing me. In fact, as I write this sentence I just got another email. There have been more than 10 total. I think I responded to like 2 of them, but they just keep coming. In one of them, she made fun of a customer because he complained about her fries and then recently died of cancer. She's probably going to respond to this review with something nasty too like she's done to other reviews. I'd expect nothing less of her at this point. So if you've read this far and still want to eat here... good luck. Don't get the lamb kabob.

Oh goodness, what I wouldn't give to have another bite of one delicious french toast breakfast with Vermont cheese and maple syrup! Yum! I think I ordered this because it mentioned "Vermont" twice, lol, so it seemed like it would be quite "local". I don't know that I'd ever thought of having French toast with cheese before, but it was amazing! I reluctantly shared one bite with my boyfriend, but fortunately he was really enjoying his salmon crepe, so he was good to stop at one bite :). Our server was very gracious and informative about the area as well! Can't wait to visit this place and this town again!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend to check out this place. I parked on the street…read moresince their little parking lot was full. The exterior is adorable! It's an unassuming building but they've made it very cute! They have painted the brick around the bottom to look like stone as well as a continuation of the awning painted around the top. The inside is just as interesting. There is a huge wooden map of the world on the wall, a piano, and the lights over some of the tables are made from teapots. There is a large bar in the middle and plenty of seating. This place is larger than it appeared from the outside. The menu offered several types of teas- white, green, herbal, black with several different flavors within each type of tea. I chose a tropical white tea. It came out nice and hot with a packet of honey. My friend ordered a sweet crepe with mixed fruit. She loved it! I decided to try their unique offering of 6 mixed pancakes. It included 4 savory pancakes (beet, zucchini, squash, potato) and two sweet pancakes (Oladi, farm cheese). One of the sweet pancakes was fluffy but dry and flavorless. I think it was the Oladi. All of the other pancakes were excellent and the service was flawless. What a cute place with great food and service! I'll definitely be back!

We had their Columbian air roasted coffee, which was so creamy and light. They have a never ending selection of tea. Their home made bagel is better than most. The hash browns are crispy, a little on the greasy side but exploding with flavor! Oatmeal was very good with freshly diced apples to order. Our waitress Monica was beyond welcoming and knowledgeable. She made us feel at home. The low dinning table with low seated sofas made us feel very cozy. It's not very often you can cuddle up and enjoy a meal as if you were at home. The Eastern European food and ambience is as authentic as it gets. All I can say is... I'll be back

48 Main Café & Crêperie - Meredith, NH 94 Main St, Meredith, NH 03253…read more Tucked right in the heart of Meredith, 48 Main Café & Crêperie is a cozy and charming spot for breakfast or brunch! We tried: Breakfast Sandwich -- Egg, avocado, cheese, and sausage on an English muffin ($8.50). 8/10 Super satisfying and customizable, with fresh add-ons like spinach, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and tomatoes if you want to load it up! French Toast Crêpe -- Cinnamon, brown sugar, and bacon with a side of real maple syrup, powdered sugar, and whipped cream ($11). 7/10 Sweet and decadent! We just wish the bacon was a little crispier and more candied for that perfect salty-sweet crunch. Overall: A cute café with a cozy vibe, friendly service, and a great menu selection. Definitely worth checking out if you're visiting Meredith!

They all sounded delicious. The inside is pretty small with only a couple seating options inside and out. It was busy on a Saturday around noon. There were no open spots so i decided to take my crepe to go and eat it somewhere else. I waited around 10-15 minutes after i ordred. I ordered the Thai Sunrise crepe and loved it. Peanut sauce was delicious and so were the ingredients. I loved it and it was so filling! Price so fair ~$12. Was so happy and full! I would love to come back!

I went to The Starving Artist recently and honestly had a terrible time. I waited around 20 minutes…read morefor my food, and when it finally came out it was cold, like it had been sitting there forever. On top of that, I asked twice for my plain black iced coffee, and it didn't show up until after I finished eating, which kind of defeated the purpose of ordering it. It genuinely felt like the staff was more focused on chatting with each other than taking care of customers. The vibe from the employees was also not great. When I mentioned I was vegetarian, I got a reaction that felt really judgmental and dismissive, which made me uncomfortable. When I asked for the Wi-Fi, I got hit with a snarky, "Do you not see the sign?" while they pointed at something completely hidden. The whole thing came off as really passive-aggressive. Overall, the service felt rude and unwelcoming, the food was cold, and the drink situation was just annoying. I left feeling like I had spent money just to be treated poorly. I've actually given this place a few chances, because I do like the aesthetics, but the food and service are just not good. The food is bland, and I don't feel like paying $20 for something that tastes like cardboard. ALSO I ordered a kale salad and the kale wasn't even massaged. It was just straight up kale dressing and a few pumpkin seeds. This was $17 by the way.

The crepes at The Starving Artist Creperie are spectacular. It's what lures us back here when we…read morevacation in or drive through the area. Most recently my husband and I split a turkey club crepe, French onion crepe and seasonal strawberry rhubarb crepe. All brilliant. 2 years ago when we came through we had the French toast breakfast crepe (which included eggs and bacon inside it) which I still think about because it was delicious, but so confusing that those flavors were so good together. The little salad given with the lunch crepes is appreciated too. This spot is usually pretty busy. You order at the counter, take a number and sit. They have a fridge of tap water carafes you can grab for your table and they will bring the kitchen items out to you. Sometimes there's an in shop singer. It's a nice space with flowers, art and local interest items as decor. The only uncomfortable moment is it bottlenecks a lot by the order counter and can be crowded there.

I ordered the Ruby's special french toast, and my partner ordered the sweetheart strawberry cream crepe. I am a HUGE fan of pastry cream, and it is difficult to find dishes that use just pastry cream and not diplomat cream (or just plain old whipped cream). My food was delicious and I was so pleased with the quality of the cream. My partner also thoroughly enjoyed his crepe. They have a wide variety of food so there is something for everyone and the prices are very reasonable. We picked up an eclair on the way out, which was also filled with pure pastry cream (a rarity!!). This will become a regular place for us when we're in the area. The only thing to note is that they don't have a large staff; when we were there there was one person working FOH and one in the kitchen. This can cause a longer wait time for your food ( we probably waited about 45 min after ordering), but I think it's worth it.

They have a pleasant French inspired ambiance, which isn't fancy but very enjoyable. Note that their metal chairs, however, don't invite long stays. Historically, most of my visits here have resulted in some tasty crepes. Today was no exception, other than my Country Breakfast Crepe which was outstanding, the best Crepe I've had at this nifty, out of the way spot. After our 3 mile walk at the beautiful Blackstone Canal, we stopped by this interesting, little restaurant and selected: * Ham, Apricot & Brie Crepe $16.95 * Country Breakfast Crepe with Sausage $16.95 The Ham & Brie Crepe was nicely prepared and tasty. The Country Breakfast Crepe arrived surrounded by a cheese sauce with a sausage patty and perfectly cooked sunny side up egg on top. I think there were mushrooms, diced potato and a tasty sauce inside. Would I order this again? You betcha!
