Crepes & Delices

Another gem of a discovery. After a crisp winter day at central park, we wandered the upper west side looking for something delicious and warm. We came upon Crepes and Delices and was amazed by the artful skills the window crêpe maker was showing off to the passerby. Well, it worked for us and after just having Crepes the other day in Harlem, we were eager to compare. This place was great, beautiful and friendly décor, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We noshed on the delicious chicken, pesto and spinach. My nine year old devoured it. Then we finished with the decedent and huge nutella and Strawberry. Heaven. Highly recommend this gem for any crêpe lover

Cozy shop that serves delicious and affordable savory and sweet crepes. They also offer La Colombe coffee and have pretty creative specials! I’ve been twice, both times getting the nutella banana crêpe and both times leaving satisfied. I enjoy the chewiness of the crêpe without being soggy, and the perfect ratio of nutella to fruit. The atmosphere is quite nice, with French music quietly playing in the background, and friendly service. I definitely recommend visiting Crepes & Delices if around W 72^nd St.

Wow, what a wonderful true French creperie!
I haven’t eaten such good crepes in a long time.

Amazing crepes — thin but not soggy, with just the right amount of filling. The cinnamon and apple one is to die for!

Yassss. Crepes & Delices hits the spot whether I’m craving for something sugary, or something savory.
A Buckwheat Smoked Salmon and Crème Fraîche Crêpe followed by a simple Strawberry Nutella Crêpe makes the perfect (huge) lunch for me. I’ve ordered out a bunch of times and was always full and satisfied after devouring my crêpe (s). Dined in once and the service received was impressive for such a small sit in Creperie. They have only 2 or 3 tables situated in the back of the store and each round table can sit 2 – 3 max comfortably so I wouldn’t recommend coming with a large group.

I love this place. It’s prob my favorite dessert spot on the UWS. But I had a weird experience today. A friend of mine was visiting and really craving crepes. Realizing it shuts at 9pm we rush over after dinner and get there at 8:55. The lady says they’re already closed because «no one is coming in so we decided to close»… We came in and with a good 5 minutes to spare! It wasn’t like they had physically closed the place either they could’ve easily made us 2 crepes. Anyway, ended up going to Vive la crepes nearby. I’m disappointed though I really liked this place and I feel like they could’ve been more accommodating.

It’s hard to find a good French crêpe! The salmon crêpe is delicious, as is the chai tea (traditional style, not from a mix).

I came here one time with a date we got a chicken and pesto crêpe and strawberry nutella crêpe we each ate half of each one… both were very good
i would return
Food — good
service — good
Atmosphere — good

Best crepes ever ! I am french so I know what really good crepes should taste like, and those crepes are just like in france.

Ordered the cinnamon apple crêpe, which came highly suggested to me by the servers here, but was pretty disappointed. It was just bad. Not gonna go into detail about how dry it was or what it actually tasted like. Plus it was shaped in a square… what happened to the triangle? Their flavored hot coffee drinks aren’t bad though. Tastes great but will LITERALLY burn your tongue, so wait a good HOUR. That’s how long it took mine to cool down a little. Also they only have 2 crêpe makers on at a time so you might be waiting for a while. Don’t come if you’re rushed.

My husband and I were looking for a quick but special dinner last night, and we definitely found it here! We both had savory crepes, and I was thrilled to see a gluten free (buckwheat) option that I could enjoy. My husband had a #4 (chicken, mushrooms, spinach, pesto and Gruyère cheese), while I selected the #5 (smoked salmon, crème fraîche, lemon juice, and dill… with spinach added). We both loved our choices! Incidentally we visited Paris this year and these crepes certainly compared to the crepes in France. The café is bright, the staff is friendly, and the overall experience is very nice. Looking forward to returning and trying one of their dessert crepes. Yum!

Nope nope nope nope nope.
Came in around 1:30 on a sweltering Friday afternoon and they were out of coffee beans to make iced coffee, even though all the cold coffee drinks were still displayed on the board [[how!!?]]. The alternative we were offered was the prebrewed hot coffee sitting against the wall for who knows how long. On a 90+ degree day, this was obviously not what we were looking for, and they did not offer to comp the hot coffee due to the inconvenience.
Ordered a Nutella and strawberry crêpe, was not told about the free alternative buckwheat option. Waited for almost 15 minutes. Was not given the tap water I had asked for. Crêpe came not in a easy-​eats-​access cone as I asked, but flat in a box, which caused the strawberry syrup to make the whole thing soggy. Crêpe was rubbery and tasteless.
Service was god awful– a woman who attempted to bring her crêpe to her table was rudely rebuffed by one of the employees who pushed past her insisting on delivering it herself because she «prides herself on service.» Sry but that ain’t service, that just rude.

We’ve been here a few times now and are definitely fans. There’s nothing innovative or unusual happening — just quality ingredients presented simply and allowed to stand on their own and say, «Hey, we’re pretty great!»
Favorite crêpe so far is the savory one with pesto, gruyère, chicken, fresh mushrooms and fresh spinach. It’s big enough for two to share, all the fillings are top-​notch, and the buckwheat crêpe has this amazing earthy flavor. Also, the crêpe’s texture is spot-​on — soft but also a little bit crisp and toasty.
They’ve also got a great lineup of legit teas and joltingly strong coffees, and so all in all, it’s like a little piece of Paris on the UWS.

I came here for a Nutella Hot Chocolate and absolutely loved it. I’d made Nutella Hot Chocolate at home before, and absolutely loved it. So when I tried it here and it tasted the same, of course, I loved it. The place itself is also very cosy and cute and there’s free wifi!
UPDATE: Came again and tried the nutella crêpe and it was so delicious! Plus, the nutella crepes are only $ 5 on Mondays!

Very disappointed here. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, perhaps not the best time, to be fair.
I wanted a mushroom/​chicken/​spinach/​cheese crêpe, but they were out of mushrooms. Okay, so put a little extra spinach on it? Nope. And the «chicken» wasn’t real chicken, just a slice of chicken roll. Yuck. My husband & I each had ordered this, so I have nothing to compare it to. The one GOOD thing was that they offer a choice of a buckwheat crêpe, and that was good.
It picked up with the dessert crepes — we ordered two different ones & shared. We had the Nutella with strawberries, pretty good, and we had an apple one that was very good.
So, maybe the lesson here is, go for dessert. Their savory crepes leave a lot to be desired.

Friendly service, cute spot and delicious crepes. I had the plain sugar and butter — no complaints here!

I got #5 which is a smoked salmon crêpe. I’m not a big fan of the texture of the buckwheat crêpe here. It is indeed thin but somehow almost soggy and has a weak mouthfeel. The filling was a bit too salty and I was hoping the salmon could be rarer. But service is very good and I like the ambience.

Having choices make me happy and crepes are noteworthy because they’re so versatile. I mean, there aren’t many foods that I can think of where you can either enjoy them as something savory or sweet.
I stopped by with my cousins a couple of weeks ago to try a Mozzarella, Tomato, Olives, Pesto filled crêpe, as well as one filled with Nutella and Strawberries. Both were solid choices, as they were both very tasty. I particularly enjoyed my savory choice because of the explosion flavors all wrapped in a delicate layer of thin crêpe dough.
The atmosphere was casual, you order and pay at the front then they’ll bring it out to you. It’s also charming, a little small, I’d say with less than 10 tables but large enough to easily fit our party of 4. They also have a point system, where you present your card which they tick off with every crêpe you order and you’ll get the 10^th one free.

Walked in and loved the small café feel of the place. It didn’t look busy, but all the tables were taken by «campers» which is pretty annoying when you just want a place to sit and eat. I was quickly greeted by a tall gentleman who asked if I had been there before and because I had not, he did a quick review as to what they had to offer.
I ended up getting a crêpe as well as a salted caramel latte. They fold their crepes into squares, which I’m not a fan of … I prefer the cone shape; but it still tasted amazing. The salted caramel latte was way too salty and I probably will never order again, unless they can change that salt content in some way.
They do have a loyalty card which they will stamp for every crêpe purchase.
I’m very excited to have Crepes & Delices in my neighborhood and cannot wait to try their other items. I do hope though that as they continue to grow in popularity that they either get more seating or learn how to place time limits on the «campers».

We came here when we were walking around UWS on Saturday morning. My boyfriend spotted that this place sells gluten free crepes so we walked in to try some. They do crepes in a buckwheat batter and since I am vegan — they custom made one for me with harissa, olives, tomatoes and spinach. I wish there was more of harissa and more of a sauce — perhaps even hummus — to bring the dish together. As it was served, it was a little bland and dry for me.
I don’t really blame this place since I realize that cheese is such a main component of savory crepes. I do wish however, that people start caring daiyya cheese or options for those of us who are dairy free — since there are so many of us in NYC!
It’s an authentic French crêpe place — while it wasn’t the best experience for me, but I am sure if you don’t have dietary restrictions this place might better serve you.
