The franchise we are told is Australian,however, the owner is apparently French as is the whole concept and theme. As you can see from the website, Crepe Cafe dont just serve sweet crepes they also will be doing a full healthy meal as Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. The Menu has a wide range of varieties but are all fall within the French cuisine. Savory and sweet Crepes, Pancakes, waffles, and omelette are just some of the items that will be on the menu.Other items likes salads, soups, are also available. Interestingly Australian coffee beans are used to make fresh coffee.

As you can hope for, the Crepe Cafe doesnt just serve sweet crepes; there are also savory ones as well. You can order a full healthy meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The menu has a wide range but all are definitely French cuisine. Sweet and savory crepes, pancakes, waffles and omelets are featured and for those who want something light, soups and salads are also available.

The location provides a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the mall. Ideally situated at the center, it allows weary shoppers to rest their feet and shopping bags while indulging in one of the many crepes on offer.

Natural light falling into the cafe from the malls sun roof also provides an indoor outdoor experience, and while umbrellas are available for those who prefer some shade, they may not really be necessary as the sunroof glass does a good job at blocking out the glare and intensity of the sun.

All ingredients are stored in small trays behind a glass window beside the counter, so it is easy to see the staff at work preparing the crepes. For the hygiene-conscious, you need not worry as you can see the whole kitchen in front of you without worrying about what might be going on behind closed doors.

We went for three savories and one sweet, choosing the Spinach Florentine (spinach, cheese, bechamel sauce, mushrooms and feta), Chicken Farmhouse (chicken, cheese, bechamel sauce, mushrooms), Parisian Crepe (turkey, cheese, mushrooms) and a Nutella and Banana Crepe.

All were rich and filling that took little more than 5-10 minutes to prepare. Our personal favorite was the Chicken Farmhouse as it was a little saucier than the Parisian Crepe; the Nutella and Banana also got high marks from the team. Four Crepes came in at SR95 with prices varying between SR18 and SR24 each. Our cappuccino and vanilla chai lattes went down well and were SR12 each.

So if youre looking for a quick snack, without breaking the bank, Crepe Cafe may be just what you want. We can honestly say if the smell of freshly made crepes and waffles doesnt make you hungry, we dont know what will!

    Sadly this cafe ruined my day because of the same issue Mr.Samir explained earlier. I went with my brother to the cafe early morning and it completely empty. unlucky or not, we couldn’t sit in because we were ‘single’! We had our breakfast at goodies (right opposite the cafe) then did our shopping, we later passed by the cafe and it was still empty. I hope the management will look into this.

    Today 7/1/2012, I & my wife came to the one in Roshana mall, Tahlia Rd. Jeddah, at 1130 am and after we have fished our order, the waiter (Egyptian) brought the bill which has two Service charges , one printed and other written by pen I told him this is not write to do so and after I blame him he left us and brought new bell with one as printed previous one and he said very sorry for that. Any how I paid as one printed but this behavior should be investigated by mgr and stop such bad behavior. Also needs spray insects but food is very good and service as well> Thanks.

  5. I think it’s really a great place, the food is good and though it was a Wednesday night and the place was crowded the service was fast and the food temperature was excellent.

      While I like the items in their menu, my feeling toward the service is mixed. The branch in Rushana Mall is definitely better when it comes to service than the one in Star Avenue. It is not very bad there, but it lacks discipline.

    I’m really surprised that people think this place is so amazing. Crepes need some talent to make, and honestly the staff there is just your usual cooks. The crepes I had were thick and under done. The waffles are ok, but the berries that you can order with them taste like they’ve been sitting in the freezer. The pancakes taste like they are pre-made then microwaved or something. The only item that is good is the omelet, but they only have 2 kinds, and why no scrambled or fried eggs too?

    OK to be fair I’ll mention the pros too: you order & pay at the cashier, so it eliminates the time you have to waste waiting for the bill or change, you can leave as soon as you finish eating. Their menu selection has something for everyone, and the prices are reasonable. The 2 branches are excellent locations and have a pleasant lay out; airy & comfortable.

    Very good food, but horrible horrible service!

    Wrong orders, long waiting time, tables that are not cleaned properly, waiters with bad body odor and finally hair in the food means that I will avoid this place until I hear of positive change.

      I say you just had a bad luck that time. I would admit the service is not amazing but it is acceptable. In other words; I have seen worst, way worst! What keeps me as a regular is the great food, and I haven’t really noticed hygienic issues before while I am there.

      I have tried the place several times. Excellent delicious food with the right temperature, good service, coffee could be better(I am picky when it comes to coffee)however its a good place with good atmosphere when its not busy. Staff are very quick in there service.

      And what proves that the place is great is that they have many regulars.

      When I want to guarantee a quite and good atmosphere, I would go to the branch in rowshan mall.

    They have a nother branch @ Stars Avenue opposite to “Goodies” on the ground floor. My family and I have breakfast there every now and then during the weekend. They have excellent breakfast choices and I specifically like their Ice Coffe.

    Your spelling mistakes were corrected. As for the ‘all caps’, writing online in capital letters indicates that you are shouting. It’s a very aggressive way to post and it doesn’t come off as being very friendly. Moderators, at their discretion, can edit or delete any topics or posts that use ALL CAPS. As a result of this it was changed.Thanks for your comments, and we hope you understand.

    The visiting experience there was moderate for me I mean it was nothing like ordering a crepe from one of those many food stands you easily see in France. I ordered the Nutella and Banana Crepe w / ice cream, which price was also fair @SR22, and the cashier didn’t have enough change & wanted to keep the SR2 which he owed me, I mean that was something unique for me, I dont mind giving out tips but not when its taken without asking. Then while I was waiting I started to remember in France on how it took no longer than 5 minutes for a crepe w/ Nutella &Banana I must say I thought I was waiting on a full course meal. After receiving my crepe & retrieving my money and ice cream which they forgot to put in the bag before I left the place I took a bite in that luxurious looking crepe and afterwards realized how much I miss the original crepe & Nutella from France!
