Once I was hungry.
I came, I ordered, I ate.
I left satisfied.

I'm not a huge fan of Crepes, but this place was simply bad.  Even the girl thought so, and she loves them!   It was breakfast, so we got the breakfast crepe, which came with eggs and cheese.  The eggs were undercooked and still runny, or there was so much cheese it seemed like the eggs were runny, either way, it was bad.  The crepe became soggy from the egg/cheese runny-ness and the whole thing made my stomach feel not great.

Always yummy when I ate there.  It is pricey, but hey, they have to pay rent on CityWalk people!

Nutella & Banana!  
Turkey Pesto!

my faves!

Tasty dessert crepes. Some strange savory dinner crepes. Delicious Nutella crepes.

This place is way to pricey for crepes and the reality is that this is not a nice enough place to claim your paying for overhead. They either need to work on their image or lower their prices.

Don't get the fries. In fact - don't ever get fries from a crepe place. Get Crepes and get them to go. This is not a high quality establishment.

The banana nutella crepe was good.. The chocolate was better than the run of the mill chocolate syrup, it was thicker than that.  3.5 stars for the crepe.

But the french fries were a huge let down. They looked nothing like the photo they advertised. They were thick, and VERY mediocre! 1 stars for this. The photo showed these thin, crispy looking fries, and we got thick, carl's JR style fries.. yuck!

Overall not too many choices at 1030am in the citywalk, although we didn't notice Saddle ranch chop house was open for breakfast.. maybe that would have been a better choice.

I love a good Crepe.  I had not had one in a long time.  While walking down the Univeral Walk, I decided to stop in for a quick bite.  They seem to make them in front of you but you wait a long time.  I think I waited ten minutes and there was not a crowd. I had a cinammon crepe but I would describe it as predictable.  It was nothing out of this world.  I really didnt feel it satisfied my sweet tooth.
It appears that this is part of a chain but they didnt seem to move with any speed in making the crepe so I cant imagine that it would be popular chain.  I would have kept walking had I know the price and quality would not match.

Disappointment! I really wanted something out of the ordinary, something that's not so common. I walked by the Crepe Cafe and urged my boyfriend to eat here. Without looking carefully at the menu, I ordered a strawberry crepe. I automatically assumed that the strawberry crepe came with nutella, because everywhere else I go serves it like that! Sadly, I took the first bite and shook my head. The strawberries weren't sweet enough and NO NUTELLA! The powdered sugar was tasteless! What do you expect from a fast-food crepe place? So stupid of me to think this place could've been any better than the crepes that I'm already used to. Cost me a little more than $6 for bland strawberry dessert crepe.

Remind me again why I paid 12 bucks for a ham and cheese crepe with French fries and a small soda?

It sounded really awesome.. Crepes? City Walk?! Fucking rad! But here's the real story:

We walk in and take a look around. They get you with the fancy pictures of awesome looking food! You order and you're super excited to get some mean ass crepes, but when it comes out, you're disappointed. This is how girls must feel when they see me naked for the first time. I understand now. I completely understand.

Flies were all over the restaurant, so I don't know how clean it was. The flies annoyed the hell out of me.

Don't waste your money here. All the reviews can't be wrong, and I wish I had Yelped it first.

They get 1 Star because of the parking valets at City Walk. I paid $25 for valet service and a car wash. When I left, I asked them where do I pay for it. They sent me downstairs and no one was around. We waited for a few more minutes then someone came to take our tag. I pulled out a $5 to tip the valet. When my car pulled around it was shiny and clean--and a bit confused, the valet just took the $5 and opened the door. Where do I pay?  Oh! I guess I don't have to.

Crepe Cafe, you got lucky this time. I didn't mind paying 12 bucks for your shitty as meal because I got a free car wash.

$10 dessert crepes? Pass.

Fuckin rip off, I can get better crepes for half the price at my local Q-cup.

I ordered a mixed fruit crepe with grand marnier and ice cream, didn't taste the grand marnier at all...except in one bite where it was basically a mouthful of grand marnier. No nutella, I thought they automatically put it on =(, barely any fruit, just a lot of crepe. $2.11 additional for a small ass scoop of ice cream, GTFO.

I give you one star for having Orangina, best soda ever.

These are just horrible!!! Sadly I was very hungry and did not notice this is related to the one in San Francisco which is just as awful :( Over Priced first off, for the crepe it is not worth the expense. Which I am sure is due to their location. Secondly there are nothing amazing about a crepe with just fruit inside, I personally like whip cream or some kind of sauce to make it awesome. But  just a dry crepe with chopped strawberries :P When I think of a crepe it has whip cream, custard or chocolate syrup, and strawberries. NOW thats a crepe! So i would NOT recommend this crepe to anyone, I visited their San Francisco location which is just as awful.

laaaaaame. if you're desperate for a crepe while you're at City Walk, i guess you can settle for this place. but it really isn't that good.
they barely use any ingredients in the crepes. no matter what you get. Never fails.
Everything i've ever gotten here has not been good, let alone worth the price.
the crepes are too thick, dry, and rubbery.
Don't waste your time or money here. shittttttttttttttttttty.

A crepe, fries, and drink  for ~$10 at Universal Studios is pretty good right??  Its probably as good as anything you can get in the park.  The Crepe Cafe is located at City Walk just outside Universal.

I'm usually a fan of sweet dessert-type crepes, not savory but for lunch I had to go for the Chicken Crepe (monty jack, tomato, spinach, onion).  If you're gonna get the fries, which are just average, get the honey mustard and not the chipotle sauce (incl.)  There are definitely better places around LA for crepes like Cafe Crepe and Crepe To Go.  There are lots of other dining choices around City Walk and I'd check one of the other places out next time.

Not bad.  I had the Chicken Pesto crepe.  It was a little thin for the price, but what do you expect for a tourist trap like City Walk.  Service was nice and didn't have to wait too long.

this place was okay.  not bad as far as crepes go, especially being in a place like universal citywalk.

crepes we tried:  chicken, ham & cheese, and turkey.  all were good, but i can't imagine screwing up ingredients as simple as these.  we also tried the strawberry, dulce de leche, and nutella.  not bad, not great, just decent.

the worst part about this place is how long it takes to get your food.  and when they call your number, you get all excited because you're hungry as hell, and you scurry up to the counter only to find that they're handing you your fries and dip.  and it's a full ten minutes later before you finally get those crepes.

it was good enough, since bubba gump was packed and we only had about 45 minutes till the start of our concert at the gibson.  i don't know that i'd go back, but at least i wasn't hungry through the show.
