Crepes N’ Salads

Short Spanish girl in the front is extremely rude and unprofessional. You can tell she is miserable at her job. Theres been more then one occasion where i have had to bite my tongue. She honestly makes me not want to return. She is EXTREMELY rude!

I went in with high hopes and was extremely disappointed. The front desk girl is COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY MISERABLE. I understand being pregnant isn’t fun but maybe she should stay home then. A lot of other people would appreciate the job if she doesn’t want it. Food was actually pretty good but with that kind of customer service I Will not be returning.

I really wanted to like this restaurant. It’s located in a part of Manhattan that does not have many options beyond deli fare, so this selection was a welcome addition.
However, my experience here has been less than stellar. When I placed my order for a Salmon Crêpe, it took several tries to communicate what I wanted with the server. On top of that, she had to take the menu from me to determine what should go inside. This ultimately resulted in an incorrect order: instead of frying an egg to put on top, she took hard boiled eggs from the salad station and put it in my crêpe. Definitely not what I ordered!
On top of that, this whole process took way too long to complete. It seemed like there were several employees milling about, but only one person doing the work. I also noticed a large puddle in the middle of the room that had not even been attended to yet.
I really want this restaurant to succeed. I think it’s heart is in the right place. They need to have better management and employee training to make this work.

I don’t have a lot of hope for this place, it’s sort of a mess and no one seems to care. Many of the salad items were not available, such as only one green (spinach) and only one protein (chicken). The salad person didn’t have a clean bowl to mix my salad so he used the plastic to-​go bowl and stacked everything in there without mixing it. That doesn’t work people, believe me. If I were a betting man and this place doesn’t shape up, I’d say you will be seeing a vacate sign on the door by the fall.

This is the second time I (attempted) to order from here since it’s opened. The first time was about a month and a half ago, where I tried to get a quick coffee on my way to work and no one was at the register. There was a person mopping — she was the only person in there at 10am, and said she would be with me in 5 minutes. Since I needed a QUICK coffee, I couldn’t afford to wait 5 minutes for a pour your own coffee. YES, 5 minutes to get a cup to pour your own! I said thanks and left.
Fast forward to today. I ordered the Lox Bagel Eggs with Arugula platter, and specified an Everything bagel. This took a good minute to get communicated from the guy I ordered with to the guy who would make it. He made it, put it in two separate containers (not sure why), and with a toasted plain bagel. I asked him if it was an everything bagel and he gave me a look like I had three heads. I had to ask a couple of other people to clarify, and they told me they didn’t have that. I think the guy thought I meant a bagel with everything perhaps? Not sure.
I was frustrated at that point because I had waited about 10 minutes and just wanted to go. They then moved my food to the cashier (I already paid) who had to pack it, and that took another 5 minutes because she was busy making a smoothie for another customer. That person never packed my order and the guy who actually made my bagel came to the front and dropped off some balsamic dressing (which I didn’t request, and had nothing to do with my order, maybe he thought the arugula was a salad instead of part of my sandwich). I then asked him if he could get someone to pack my order instead of giving me unnecessary dressing.
I really wanted to like this place because this area (where I live) has a deficiency of salad/​sandwich/​lunch places, but after going there twice within a two-​ish month span with no better service, I just can’t. They need to figure out their flow of work and get their staff trained on their menu.
The only upside was the price point. The platter was $ 7.25, which was very affordable for a lox meal.
One last thing as I’m finishing this post — I don’t feel too good now. Really hoping the lox was kept at the right temperature. Maybe that was why it was $ 7.25. Bleh.

I order food from here quite a few times. Its a good portion, quick delivery and pretty delicious. I’ve tried mostly the Breakfast items and a few salads.
