Ambiance. ambiance. ambiance. THAT is why you come to this café. It is charming and has a great vibe, which includes lovely music, décor and staff. If I had to write a research paper and needed to think but also look out the window and think pensive thoughts in interludes, this would be that place. Study breaks would include constant coffee/tea refills and french pastries. The reason I didn’t rate it higher is due to the crepes. I had a savory crêpe(salmon w/bechamel/swiss/spinach) and it was served in a sweet pancake crêpe — not a galette(buckwheat crêpe which is usually for savory ingredients). So, to say the least, something felt off. Sweet crêpe batter and smoked salmon are not complementary. I realize that the name of the café signifies that this is a fusion crêpe café. So, I have no clue how crepes are made in Senegal… If I ever return I would only order a sweet crêpe — since the inside would match the sweetness of the dough on the outside. And when I crave a savory crêpe, I would head to Pates et Traditions for a galette filled with spinach, cheese and eggs.

I’ve walked by this place openly of times, and it’s usually pretty crowded. Yesterday I stopped for a late lunch and coffee. The menu is unique to the neighborhood: French-style crepes and sandwiches. I had the Salmon with brie on an baguette, which I’ll try one of their savory crepes next time.

I LOVE this place!!! Love at first bite, love at first sight and love of the warm customer service provided by the entire staff. Such a cozy feel in the entire place and gem in the heart of a busy Brooklyn neighborhood. I truly enjoyed the smoked salmon, spinach, cream cheese and capers crêpe It was delicious from first to last bite. To add to my meal I had the speciality drink called Teisseire in a peach flavor… so DELICIOUS!!! The prices are also very good as are the portion size! I’ll be back for sure because I’ve now found my next best thing which makes me love Brooklyn.

Delicious! I wish I could sit here all day with unlimited salmon salads and white wine. But I can’t. And they don’t serve alcohol. Crepes are amazing as well.

Our favourite coffee shop while we were visiting Brooklyn. Excellent coffee, a great atmosphere and crepes that were incredibly tasty! Highly recommended.

You know that little emoji that’s simply a face with two hearts as eyes? That pretty much sums up our experience at Le Paris Dakar. Will definitely return next time we’re on the East Coast.

I’ve been 3 times. The spinach and cheese crêpe and blackberry tesseire(sp?) are yummy! This place is quaint and cute. I wish it stayed open later on weekdays. You should absolutely stop by if in the neighborhood.

I can’t believe we lived nearby for almost a year before trying the crepes here. We have only ordered them togo, but have tried three of the options. These are really, really fresh and delicious. My favorite so far is the smoked salmon crêpe. The egg, spinach and goat cheese also knocked my socks off. Try either one. My least favorite of the three was the egg, turkey, cheese and onion-not because it wasn’t good, but just because i’m not a fan of chunky squares in omelets or crepes. The turkey could have been cooked a bit more and been more flavorful as well. They are also reasonably priced(Around and under $ 10 a crêpe). It takes about 5 – 10 minutes when we have ordered. We have yet to eat in the space, but will in the future. A definite gem in the neighborhood, and a must try!

Delicious crepes! I had the #7 which was a mozarella, tomato and basil crêpe and added grilled chicken. I came in on a Monday around 4 so it was fairly quiet, a good number of people came in after I was seated but seating is cozy and comfortable, plush pillows along the window to people watch and plenty of natural light, great for studying and reading. The crêpe itself was made with fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and crispy. The tomatoes were plump, cheese melted great and basil was all balanced and they were generous with the chicken which I enjoyed. Friendly service, crêpe was brought to my table within 5 mins of me sitting. I also had the Ginger pineapple juice which had a good kick to it. I love Ginger taste and it was pure and concentrated. Plus my overall meal was reasonably priced, a great neighborhood shop. I will definitely be back!

I came here for a quick breakfast bite before I caught the train to run en errand in the city. I was tight with time so I thought a crêpe would be a great idea. It was a Saturday morning and they were pretty busy but I did not expect to wait a total of 36 minutes for my crêpe. There are only 2 crêpe makers. As I walked out and took my first bite, I couldn’t believe how amazing this crêpe was. I got the Prosciutto, Brie and Mushrooms, made me almost forget how annoyed I was a few minutes ago with the long wait. I brought my sister back to try the same crêpe, she loved it, and this time it was’t busy so we got it in less than 5 minutes.

Probably my favorite breakfast spot in Bed Stuy. The crepes are all amazing and reasonably priced. Overall, just a very good vibe over there. My only complaints are that the coffee sometimes tastes burnt and the service can be slow. Otherwise, I’m a big fan.

Very, very good crepes, both sweet and savory with a large selection of ingredients, served in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Today I had the prosciutto, mozzarella and tomato crêpe. It was flavorful, substantial without being heavy. A perfect balance of meat, cheese and tomato wrapped in soft and well made crêpe. I have been to La Paris Dakar many times. It is great place to just sit and hang or do some work while having your coffee and maybe a pastry or crêpe. Lot’s of natural light and plenty of seating, yet still cosy.

If you’re walking down Nostrand and get a hankerin’ for some croissants and coffee like I do, then this place is for you. Step inside and get punched in the face with some delicious aromas from their freshly ground coffees and baked pastries. Did I mention they make crepes too? Yeah, now you know, and now you shall come.

One of the Joys of Living in New York City is the unanticipated Discoveries that are made. I Love coming across Neighborhood Gems and Le Paris Dakar is truly one of them. Stumbled across Le Paris Dakar while looking for a place to grab a bite before a meeting. I was thoroughly Impressed with this find and Strongly Encourage All to visit. The Ambiance/Vibe is Coffee-Shop-Chic. There was some Gorgeous West-African Music playing at the Perfect Volume. I was gazing at the Menu and was offered one of their physical menus after the Gentleman behind the counter saw me squinting to read it. Their Specialty appears to be Crepes so I swung for the fences. I ordered a Green-Mint Tea and the Salmon and Brie Specialty Crêpe. They have two stove-type mediums where the Crepes are Made. Interesting Process to Observe. This Establishment is a Beautiful Addition to the Incredible Businesses that are Contributing to the Growth of Mighty Mighty Bed Stuy. Get Involved!

LPD is a great café located on Nostrand ave. They are a cool meeting spot for anyone looking to connect with friends or family. There is ample seating throughout the café and they also provide free wifi for the internet junkies lol. The food isnt exactly mouth watering but they do have a huge selection of crepes that are actually really good. The service here at LPD is always solid and the prices are comparable with most NYC coffee shops so you dont have to worry about throwing down starbucks type prices. All in all this is a great spot and its a black owned business so support is almost manadatory!!!

Let me preface this review by saying that all the food and drink I’ve gotten from Le Paris Dakar has been to go, in case that has any kind of impact. I really wanted to rate this place higher because it has a lovely vibe and the staff is super warm. Their pastries are wonderful and the extensive crêpe menu looks incredible, but I have one big gripe: the coffee. Every time I’ve ordered a basic cup of drip from here has resulted in super weak, watery coffee. I gave them a few tries because I realize everyone has their bad days, but this has been a consistent problem since I started coming here. Their espresso drinks are tasty, but unaffordable for an almost-daily caffeine fix. I’ll come here when I’m willing to ~splurge on an Americano(or even – GASP – a latte,) but for now I’ll fulfill my standard coffee cravings at the bodega.

The first time I walked by Le Paris Dakar and noticed how truly wonderful it is was Valentine’s day of last year. How do I remember the heart shaped napkins or the single red carnations in white vases delicately placed on each made-for-one-but-perfect-for-two café table? I don’t know. I do know how I remembered to mentally bookmark this quaint café. A shrewdly-placed sign on the door that read«closed for a private event» took me aback and of course made me want to go in even more. I’ve been back a few times and I’ve always been greeted with a smile, a great crêpe – my fave so far was the turkey, egg, onion and cheese – and really good hot chocolate.

I was expecting a glorious crêpe based on the reviews but was underwhelmed. It wasn’t bad, but didn’t stand out in any way. I had the nutella banana strawberry crêpe. Needed more fillings. The crêpe itself was a little too thick and rather indelicate. The ham and cheese was similarly edible but mediocre. The coffee was alright.
