Review The Flat - Charlottesville

Sean Herlihy

I had tried to go here two other times previously and, by the website's hours, they should've been open but weren't. The Crepes are good for the area but probably just above average from others I've tried in other cities/states. I tried the Return of the King, Crepes According to Anna (no chicken) and the Chocolate Chip Cookie Crepe. For someone that eats a lot, this was a good meal but I found myself hungry a bit sooner than a heavier meal. I think the Crepes According to Anna would've been less messy had there been Chicken or ham since the jam and brie moistened the crepe which caused it to fall apart. The other two held together well and for all three the ingredients inside were superb but the actual crepes are where there could be improvements to the overall flavor...not sure what exactly but something. Overall good crepes, great service and decent prices, just wish the hours would reflect accurate open/close times more often.

Delicious! We love this adorable hole in the wall spot. The rosé goat crepe was amazing, love the tartness of the asian pear mixed with goat cheese, honey and walnuts(?). Their savory crepes are also tasty. Something unique is their crepe cake! The matcha crepe cake was fantastic.

Food was not bad. Nothing special though, the risotto we ordered was very small and expensive for the size, tasted okay but I would not reorder. We did get a hair in one of the dishes, the inside is very clean and modern.

Small cute local Crepe place. Their hours are very short and limited, but if you like crepes they are worth the tricky hassle.

Cute little crepe place that you can mix and match any of the ingredients. They now accept cards (used to be cash/check only). Their rosemary lemonade is very refreshing on a hot day.

Ordered the "Return of the King", but they were out of chicken, so I substituted tofu. The tofu, feta, and avocado were excellent. The avocado was scarce and I would have enjoyed more. Lemonade was good. On a busy street with cars, construction, and pedestrians and I decided not to sit at the 1 table or bench. I walked about half a block to a more comfortable area. They make the crepe to order, it's fresh, hot, light. Prices are decent.

Vegan options! I've had the savory vegan crepe, which is really fresh tasting, although I think it could use more flavor. They could do something like add nutritional yeast to the tofu blend and extra spices. The thing about having a vegan option is most places don't realize they gotta pack that thing with extra spice to make it just as good as the non-vegan options.

Absolutely wonderful crepes. We had the Summer Veggie and it was filled to the brim with perfectly cooked vegetables and just the right amount of feta. A fun place to dine in and take in the sights of downtown C'ville!

Fantastic! Daughter had a feta, avocado, spinach crepe; her friend had a chicken, apple, Brie crepe and I had an egg, feta, cheese one. Can't wait to go back and try the Nutella, with strawberries and bananas. Ate over two hours ago and I am already craving another one. Be patient. Well worth waiting for these fabulous crepes.

I'm annoyed that we waited 45 minutes for them to open when it says online and on their website they should open at 11am. Maybe I'll update this review once I actually get a chance to try them and when they either update their hours or open on time.

Nothing like Lauren's crepes! My favorites are savory because they are an entire meal.

Best takeaway in town...no the state...no the world! And where I met my husband, so pretty much my favorite restaurant ever. Crepes=Love.

Best GF crepes ever!!
