First impression was that the waitress could have been more friendly, but that being said the food was fantastic. I wasn’t sure what to order so I went with a basic breakfast sandwich, a ham & cheese on a baguette. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much because my wife had said the crepes were good, and I didn’t expect both the crepes and the sandwiches to be good. Last time I was at a place where the crepes and baguettes were good was France, so I prepared for the worst. My son got a Cuban sandwich, wife’s bacon egg & cheese, and my other son got the chocolate crepes. I have to say that this ham sandwich was better than I’ve had in this country. They use actual spiral cut baked ham NOT deli sliced. The Cuban my son got was the same! They had actual roast pork and spiral cut ham! You don’t see that even in Florida (Tampa or Miami). The baguette they must have imported the baker from France because the last time I had bread that good it was there. I know the crepes must have been good because my son ate the whole thing and he never eats the whole thing. So if you want crepes come on by, but I’d you want an authentic Cuban like they make in Puerto Rico or Cuba this is the place!

Loved the place! Kind and fast service and yummy food. Please try the pancakes, they're so fluffy and delicious!

The food is amazing, but the crew is even better💛

A classic. The usual good stuff. Pancakes big and fluffy. Baguette from heaven. The rare outstanding drip coffee. Lots of bacon. Tasty eggs. Today the maple syrup was special. We even took some of the baguette for home!! And the prices are excellent! ......... The usual excellent crepes and pancakes and more. Hope they are open forever. New owners?

Awesome breakfast with a French theme in uptown Manhattan

Came in on a delivery for Postmates, and had to have one. Last job of the day, and the cashier waited on me like a king Pictured below, a Nutella crepe, come in and relax

One of the best breakfast places we've encountered in the city 🙌.

Amazing friendly service in a cozy place! He oatmeal is delish

The sandwiches were delicious. This was my first Croque Madame and there was so much cheese on the bread, I still dream about it. My partner got the egg and bacon on a croissant which turned out to be an open-faced sandwich, also with a ton of cheese. The steak on the the steak and eggs was too done. Still, the sandwiches are absolutely worth returning for. The whole shop is very cute but a bit crowded.

We loved it here! Such a friendly waiter and all-around experience. Our server didn't rush us like the rest of NYC seemed to. I had a craving for a nice cappuccino, and that's exactly what I ordered (pictured here). Since the restaurant is called CREPES on Columbus, my partner ordered a tiger shrimp, spinach, and basil creme crepe, which I enjoyed more than my own avocado, salmon, and spinach crepe although they were both amazing. I would definitely return here if I am in the area again; I respect their commitment to high-quality natural foods.

Great food with fantastic service. I had the steak and eggs with potatoes. I haven't had grass fed beef that tender and well-cooked in a long, long time. My daughter loves the Nutella and strawberry crepes. Highly recommended.

Our favorite neighborhood breakfast spot. Steve the owner is great, food is delicious, prices are good, place is clean. We've had the sweet crepes, French toast, omelettes, and I think one of the bagels and pancakes at some point too - all good. I noticed during our last visit that they've got Pepsi instead of coke, so I'm kinda holding out hope they may have Dr Pepper - will check next time!

Pancakes and Smoothies are P-E-R-F-E-C-T. The staff is nice and efficient.

Great experience. A very good option when visiting NYC.

Owner was short handed so he waited on us himself. He is a delightful human being. Smiles a lot. We ordered, and the food came, piping hot, fresh, tasty! The French toast is the best I have ever had. Scrambled eggs and bacon were full of flavor. The eggs were not watery like at so many diners. My daughter had Nutella/strawberry/banana crepe and she said it was delicious! My other daughter, a native New Yorker, says she's been going there since 2009, so she obviously likes it. The coffee was really good also. I just cannot say enough nice things. It deserves a thousand five star ratings.

Excellent service and attention to detail. I had an avocado, goat cheese, and sausage crepe.It was delicious and so filling. The owner also comes around to greet everyone and offers free coffee (after your intial purchase). I'm full and happy. I definitely plan on coming back ;)

I absolutely LOVE this place ❤️ not only is the food fantastic and delicious but the service is pleasant and everyone makes you feel comfortable and welcome. I had a sweet crepe this time that was decadent and delicious of Belgium dark chocolate, strawberries and caramel 😋 along with their fabulous coffee I was in heaven. I'll be looking forward to my next visit.

Very tasty breakfast the prices are good and very lovely staff

Was in town from Toronto and decided to stop here to have breakfast with my wife. The customer service was incredible and the food was delicious . I had the crepes with apples, strawberry and cinnamon, it was awesome. My wife had the salmon bagel and she loved it. If you're looking for a local, homey breakfast spot, this is the place to go!

There's just one person to take orders, serve, clean the tables, get the bills and manage pick-up orders. The crepe with caramel, cinammon apple and creme is delicious!

Great place with tasty omelettes and crepes. The service was perfect and the staff there was super polite.

Calm and quiet place. There food is really good. The staff are friendly and fast to provide service.

Had a nutella, banana, and strawberry crepe. Yummy! The owner was really welcoming and their music selection was great! I look forward to coming back.

Really great crepes. I got the Nutella & Banana and it was the perfect size for brunch/breakfast. It’s also very reasonably priced. We thought the service was great as well - definitely a must visit in the area!

Great place and amazing food. Liked the atmosphere as well

I was looking for a breakfast spot during the weekday on my day off and ran across this spot. Crepes on Columbus is a nice intimate venue with delicious breakfast. It's not super fancy but the omelettes and crepes are good. The places wasn't too busy so I was able to catch up with a buddy.

Great experience! Tasty food and an awesome owner who cares for his customers. We enjoyed visiting and will come back! Thank you

I loved this little diner! The food was incredible and the service was fast. I was sober when I came, but it would be perfect food to have if you are nursing a hangover. Know what I mean?

Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area for breakfast! Love their omelettes and sweet crepes!

This local favorite is always a solid option whether you are in the mood for sweet or savory, crepes or an omelette. Pictured was the latter (all customizable): omelette with salmon, spicy salsa, avocado, and goat cheese. Comes with salad and potatoes.

Amazing crepes... Delicious beverages and the most friendly hosts. Hanging out with friends at this place for a nice Sunday brunch was a lot of fun.

Excellent, fresh, simple food at a fraction of the cost of most local places. No nonsense no frills no suit jacket required. Just casual quality with a smile. Will become a local staple of my family.

The best french toast in the east coast, hands down. We have been here on vacation for a week, we've visited all restaurants we can, and this is the only place we came back for a second time. A must, if breakfast makes your day.

I love the dumplings/momos available in the evening- they were super fresh and flavorful, the dough on the dumplings was also really delicate. This was even better than the momos I had in Jackson Heights.

Crepes are delicious, owner is very welcoming price is good for student budget

A pleasant crepe place with friendly & attentive service. The crepes were tasty and reasonably priced considering you're in New York. Would love to return for breakfast the next time I'm in the neighborhood!

Felt crêpeish this morning. Visiting the park, found this amazing crêpe spot I had strawberry banana with crème fraîche it was amazing warming light fluffy, and the layers were so thin. Great way to start my day. Thank you. Bousa. Cappuccino was perfect.

Very delicious Crepes. A 18% tip was added on the receipt and then the card payment device asked me about additional tip. Not sure how I feel about that.

Delicious and totally recommended! The food was great and the service was outstanding! Check out the picture ☺️

The crêpes are just amazing .. frendly service And great lavender latte

Perfect little local spot! I had a savory crepe and a caramel latte- both of which were just right. The owner and server were very friendly.

I came here by myself one morning, just looking for a quick and inexpensive breakfast. I got the butter and sugar crepe with blueberries. Loved it! It was my second time trying crepes: it was delicious! (The pictures doesn’t do justice to it’s size) Filling, but it didn’t feel heavy. Flavorful! Satisfying. I also got hot chocolate that didn’t come steaming hot, so I was able to drink it as it arrived. The waiter was such a sweetheart and very attentive. I highly recommend for breakfast.

I really enjoyed breakfast there! Very tasty food, good atmosphere.

Great French onion soup! Reasonably priced. Comfy diner like interior. The mandarin, caramel, and creme fraiche crepe is a must try. Great for a weekend lunch.

First time at this cute little crepe place. It will not be my last. We split a savory crepe a sweet one. Both were very good. Convenient to Columbia University and the northwest corner of Central Park. Plenty of seating and the service is excellent.

Awesome local spot with fabulous food in a friendly and quaint atmosphere with fair prices and portions and very fresh ingredients.

Cheap & delicious breakfast / brunch place. Service sucks but it’s whatever because the food is great & affordable. Tons of sweet & savory crepe options. French toast with sausage was fantastic!

Awesome crepes and omelets. Cozy atmosphere. I believe our waiter was the owner and he was really nice and friendly. Also super fun to watch the crepes being made behind window!

Best omelette I've had in a long time. The eggs were moist, very good texture. It come with roasted potatoes and salad. Again, I really enjoyed the flavour of the side. My boyfriend ask for the stake and eggs. Again, he enjoyed it a lot. We couldn't leave with give s try to the famous crepes. White chocolate, Nutella and fresh pineapple. Awesome. The size ofs the plates worth the price. Not very expensive though. The man on charge was very friendly. We definitely recommend this place.

Nayely was so friendly as soon as I walked in! I really enjoyed getting some work done in a positive environment with my crepe and coffee :)

This was my first time having breakfast at Crepes on Columbus, my experience was A MAZ ING!!!! I ordered Caramel Sautéd Apple cinnamon. It was DELICIOUS! The owner was super duper nice! Thank you!!! I will definitely be back. <3

Tris is one of Harlem's treasures. We've been coming here for the last ten years. Casual, not pretentious, good service, excellent crêpes! And there's more than crêpes on the menu. We had crêpes with home caramel, apples, and crème fraiche; and blueberry pancakes with eggs and bacon. Delicious.

Food was excellent, I had a breakfast sandwich, the group really enjoyed the crepes and french toast as well. Service was great, manager took wonderful care of us.

Anthony Germinario

Been a local shop for years and always serving interesting dishes. I remember them teaching me what a crepe even was when I was a dumb kid. Good hearted people who run an honest business. Definitely worth checking out.

Colin Nekritz

I grew up in Manhattan, lived all around the island including only two blocks from this place, and have lived all around the world. I’ve made myself, friends, and family a lot of crepes from scratch since learning how to in French class in prep school, and I’ve eaten crepes in dozens of cities but nothing, NOTHING compares to Crepes on Columbus. I miss a lot about living in Manhattan and Morningside but when it comes to one restaurant out of the thousands I’ve been to, there’s nothing I miss more than Crepes on Columbus. It’s that good.

Harlan Crystal

All the way back in 2008, I used to live nearby Crepes on Columbus and enjoy occasionally getting the avocado-bacon crepe. I randomly thought of how good it tasted today in 2025. I can't remember many other times I've reflected on food I got 17 years ago. 5 stars!

Myles

Very cute place with delicious food!! Went for a school trip a little over a year ago, and enjoyed both my food and the service so much!! I would definitely recommend and wish I could go back. Very cute and comfortable atmosphere, and absolutely delectable food. :)

Olcay Sert

This was the best breakfast I had in the US! Pancakes were delicious, the staff and the owner are super friendly. My friend had French toast and loved it!

Stick Glu

Great food and ambience! I was looking for a place that was delicious and quaint with awesome mucaic playing in the background and this is exactly what I found. I had a wonderful breakfast crepe with spinach scrambled egg and goat cheese along with an iced caramel latte, yum! My server was very nice and made my experience pleasant. I truly recommend this restaurant

Ali Bakhsh

Delicious brunch served in a cozy restaurant in a very nice area. I wish more restaurants served breakfast/brunch at this quality. The service was great, the food was fantastic, and the overall vibes were amazing.

Babacar J. Diop

Awesome restaurant and super class manager with high skills on communication and costumer service. As a diplomat I like calm and clean space. This restaurant is so far the best you can find in NYC following these both criterias and beyond. I spend quality of time with my fiancee surprising her with these yummy foods from Crepes on Columbus. She liked it 💎 and want us to back again. Thank you COC for your amazing service.

I know they have Crepes in the name, which are delicious, but trust me and try the Oeuf Columbus - and have your very own ratatouille moment. Perfect breakfast dish. Service was good, coffee was decent. Crepes were not overly sweet.

Rasheeda Eskak-Farrell

Small place with excellent crepe selections! Their staff is super nice and their crepes are sooooo stuffed with choices! We made our own, I got crème fraîche, strawberries, and dark chocolate. Boyfriend got turkey, Swiss and egg! His came with potatoes. And to our surprise the turkey was actual roast turkey! So good.

Andi G

Came in at around 11 am with no reservation. Hostess was polite and sat us within minutes. Service was fantastic, waittress was very nice. Food was also good, lots of good sweet and savory crepe options. Overall, glad I found this place, would definitely eat here again.

Leonardo Torres

Usually when I order here it's for takeout but I finally managed to dine in after many years. The place is a nice cafe where one can relax and just enjoy a chocolate lovers crepe (mine was with nutella, creame fraiche, & blueberries) with a cafe latte.

Oh man, I had a craving for crepes and finally i found the perfect breakfast spot. Solid menu card with savory or sweet crepes and omlettes.we sat outside, had a nice chat with the owner who is half French and half American. Very attentive staff!

Great basic crepe diner type restaurant. Not fancy but yummy crepes. We had a very friendly waiter. We got Nutella crepe and egg sandwich. Both great. Would go again for breakfast, lunch, or very casual dinner.

Victoria Geh

A great hidden gem on Columbus with the most friendly owner and delicious crepes. The outdoor seating is quite spaced out, and it's a calming view. The food itself was superb. The crepe was perfectly flavored, and the texture of caramelized onions, mushroom, and the slightly sweet goat cheese was the perfect combination. Definitely coming back again, the price is quite reasonable!

Sean C. Koop

Crepes on Columbus is a really great place to go when you want to have a delicious brunch. They make really good crepes, offering sweet but also savoury ones. We went there on a Sunday around 12:30 PM. We don't had to wait to get a table. They offered indoor and outdoor dining. The service was all the time great, we didn't wait long to get our delicious food. The prices for a crepe are from 8 - 16 $ which is fair. I can highly recommend to visit, if you like to have a delicious crepe.

Herder G. Rodríguez Ayala

Besides the great food an exceptional service. Delicious crepes and many breakfast options and coffee as well, very friendly. Lovely environment. Good for a group couple or just alone. They even have for sale nice shirts " I don't give a Crepe"

Very cute neighborhood spot near Columbia. The food is tasty and a relatively decent price. The service is speedy and friendly. Loved the lemon sugar crepe the best! Will definitely be back.

Crepes were delightful, menu varied, wait time for food a little lengthy

They have got good quality breakfast, I liked their pancakes, it was perfect

Great crepe place! Very good

Great service. Good crepes! Nice quiet location for a small bite and meet with friends.

A lovely little crepes place near the American Museum of Natural History. If you'd like food not from a truck, then this is a good choice to visit. They serve both savory and sweet crepes. We ordered two savory crepes as snacks and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste. Would definitely visit again.

The tastes of the items we ordered were good, but the view could be nicer( we didn’t seat on the tables beside the window, they were full).

Their crepes are pretty good but their service is really slow.

Charming place with decent breakfast! Crepes were delicious!

Seema Rose

Sweet little place in a peaceful neighbourhood. Food is great & service is excellent. I liked the savoury crepe a lot. Freshly made, wholesome food 👍🏼. I recommend you give it a try.

Really cute charming restaurant seems like a tight family ran establishment. It was very nice and great service and the best dish we ordered was the French toast and they have a wide range of options downside was that seating was limited and no air-conditioning but other than that is definitely worth a visit especially if you’re stopping by

Been there a couple of times, both times for dinner without many people in restaurant. Both times was happy with the food, but come prepared to wait a LONG time. Even without more than two other tables in the restaurant with customers, we waited a little less than an hour after ordering for our food. With desert, dinner took 2 hours. They had a big delivery business, not many crepe pans, and a huge back-up. But this is a great place as long as you're willing to wait.

We came here bc of the reviews and pictures. When we arrived, there are plenty of tables open. It took our server 20 minutes to get water for us. She came back 15 min later for drinks. As we waited, we wetnesses their lack of service. They were making customer orders per table at a time. Our food came out 1.5 hrs later. The food tasted slightly fresh but lacked flavor. We probably would never come back or recommend it. Their service is just too slow!

Nice location. Service was pretty slow (as some other reviews said) but it was a Friday morning and there were only 1-2 people working. The food was good; we ordered a sweet crepe and a savory crepe. Came out warm. A tad overpriced. The people were nice though!

First impression: Last time I was here, it was probably about 10 years ago, and it was absolutely amazing. The customer service was on point, and the ambiance was exactly what I expected. It felt cozy. The food was absolutely incredible. I had at that time strawberries with some peach on a crêpe, and it was awesome. My son had a savory ham and cheese crêpe, and it tasted great. This time around, I came with my daughter and my sister-in-law. We had Nutella crêpes with strawberry and also one with strawberry and banana, and they tasted amazing. However, I have to add that the customer service was not top-notch as it was before. Very negative at the beginning, first impressions. I would’ve left with the greeting that we received; the tone we were greeted in was not pleasant, and we were shooed away outside. Second impression, the same. My sister-in-law had a wobbly table, and her drink fell. I went inside to get paper towels, and when I told them about the incident, their response was less than satisfactory. Their remark, "Oh, you made a mess?" came across as dismissive and unprofessional. I answered, "Well, yes, on your wobbly table." If it wasn't for my daughter needing or wanting food, we would have left. In addition, the waiter behind the counter seemed very angry and didn't seem to like what they were doing. It made us feel as though our presence and satisfaction weren't important to them. We felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. On a positive note, our food waiter was very nice and attentive. He greeted us nicely and provided great service. If it weren't for the unpleasant experience with the others, we would have had a great time. However, considering the overall experience, I won't be returning to Crepes on Columbus. It's a shame because the crêpes themselves were exceptional in taste and quality. But the combination of the unwelcoming attitude, dismissive response to the spill, and the lack of attention from certain staff members has left a lasting negative impression. I sincerely hope that the management takes these concerns seriously and works on improving the customer service aspect to match the outstanding food they serve.

The food was just okay. I had a savory crepe while hubby ordered the chicken sandwich. The lady that took our order was nice.

We ordered strawberry crepes, banana strawberry smoothie and chocolate milk. The crepe itself was done just right. The filling, however, came right out of a store bought jar of strawberry jam (we could see it from where we sat). My daughters chocolate milk was mixed with a tiny bit of chocolate sauce. But the service was very nice. Seating is for about 25-30 max.

Crepes were alright, at best. Customer service was not good. The lady there was not welcoming at all.

Food looks good but very poor quality!!!! Rubber undercooked cheese and mushrooms!!! Crepes are toasted like bread not soft!!! Go somewhere else there are plenty of choices near by!!!

Be aware!!!! They included 20% tips in my bill without any explanations, it wasn’t very obvious so I overlooked and added 15% tips on top of that. I could tell you the service was definitely not worth that much.
