Bonjour Crepes & Wine
7.7
A neighborhood creperie that’s at its best when you keep it simple: one sweet or savory crepe, one warm drink, and you’re out happy. It’s built for casual drop-ins and late-ish cravings more than a long, multi-course sit-down.
Must-Try Dishes:
Strawberry Nutella crepe, Tomato, mozzarella & basil savory crepe, Lentil vegetable soup

What makes it special: Crepes-first comfort with a cafe pace and wine option.
Who should go: Crepe cravings, casual dates, solo snackers

Insider tip: Pick one lane—sweet or savory—then add just one drink.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited availability on nearby avenues, easier earlier in the day. Rideshare or walking is simplest.
Dress code: Casual—jeans, sweaters, and everyday wear fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate—easy conversation unless it’s a busy brunch rush.
Weekend wait: 15–25 minutes during peak hours; faster turnover than a full-service restaurant.
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait outside of a brief lunchtime bump.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple sweet crepes and several savory options work well for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited—possible with modifications, but not a core strength of the menu.
Gluten-free options: Limited—gluten-free crepes may be available, but cross-contamination is possible.
Best For
Better for: Quick crepe cravings, solo stops, and casual sweet-or-savory drop-ins without the formality of a full French bistro.
Skip if: You’re looking for a long, wine-heavy dinner or a polished date-night experience—choose a sit-down bistro instead.
