Good food in a sense.

by SacRestaurantCritic

I will say it at the beginning of the review just to clear this up, the crepeville in Davis in indeed a bit nicer than the crepeville in Sacramento, but stuck with travel limitation this one had to do. The food was great, and it definitely deserves a 5, some toppings on a crepe perfectly combined are absolutely uncomparable to others, the service is something i didn't have any problem with, as for the reviews consisting of the service and that only, i feel sorry for you, but that should only make a portion of your rating. As for me the service was also a 5. And finally the atmosphere was fairly nice, but something to really consider is the time you get there, arriving early in the morning is probably the best plan for a visit to this restaurant, for the place is spick and span and normally service has less stress on its shoulders, but it depends on your circumstances. According to a few others the food was bland. In contrast, the several times I've been to crepeville my food differed depending on the toppings I ordered, so just make sure you order flavorful ingredients that are in season. And finally we are brought to the cash only issue, personally i can understand why having to have bills on hand can be a problem, but if you're a patient person, or one who has time ( I know some like to dine here for lunch break ) I don't see an issue with using the ATM. But in the overall perspective the quality is in the details, so this is why crepeville only receives a 3. Happy dining, and choose your next meal wisely.

• Pros: location and food.
• Cons: some details can make this place quite unpleasant.

Delicious Crepes, Fun Atmosphere, Great Independent Business

by shannypie

Best Crepes in town!! I miss Crepeville and always stop in when I am in Sactown. Although most agree and enjoy the food and relaxed atmosphere, some have had some not-so-great experiences. Here are ShannyPie's hot tips to enjoying your visit to Crepeville:

1.) Bring cash (credit/debit not accepted- but there is an ATM in the back) and your appetite.

2.) Communicate- if you notice the people who ordered food after you are eating, and your still waiting, let the "server" know. Its usually a little understaffed, and they don't remember what order you ordered. It would be another thing if it was full service, but you ordered at the counter, remember?

3.) Its a small business, so don't expect a "safe corporate atmosphere." It won't be consistently awesome, or well staffed, but will always be worth the wait.

4.) Wear shoes, that's just common sense now.

Arrogant Business Owner - HORRIBLE Customer Service - NO CREDIT/DEBIT! WOW

by mattstermind

First of all, I have NEVER eaten here, nor do I want to! I visited Crepeville a year ago and put in my order and after attempting to pay, the owner pointed to the "cash only" sign and he stated there was an ATM machine in the back. I don't know what kind of business owner is so egregiously arrogant and thirity as to not accept credit/debit payment.

Based on the reviews I have read from others the customer service is VERY poor. I hope he receives such a bad reputation for this that it drives him out of business! Shame on him for not offering refunds to multiple customers who clearly deserved them. I'm glad I walked away. I hope he loses more business as result of him not offering other forms of payment. He is arrogant and greedy and I will NEVER eat at that establishment. BAN THIS BUSINESS!

• Cons: Arrogant business owner - BAD customer service NO debit/credit payments
