Crepes Choupette

The best crêpes you’ll find in the area. We came twice for lunch and both experiences were great. Service is super friendly (though on the slow side), and food is excellent. We tried the classic complète (🍳🐷🧀), and the tarticlette (🥔🧅🧀). The sarrasin was good: not too strong, not too dry, and all the ingredients were of quality. I was a bit surprised to find mashed potatoes in the 2nd galette, as it’s usually made with sliced potatoes. The result was a bit mushier than it could have been, but not a big deal. For dessert, we had a butter & sugar crêpe. Despite its basic ingredients, it’s often disappointing, as you need high-quality butter and the right texture. This one was perfect, one of the best I’ve had 👌

The crepes are delicious and highly filling; the savory crepes use buckwheat flour, which produces a thicker and less delicate mouthfeel - just something to note depending on your flour preferences. As a pescatarian, I’ve had the Forestiére and salmon options. Service on the weekend when it’s really crowded can be slow.

Went to new haven for a day trip and I gotta say this was the best part of the trip. I want to go back to this city just to come get crepes. The staff were so amazing and full of energy. The crepes were some of the best ones I have ever had. I seriously have dreams about the food here. This is a hidden staple in the city and I will be coming back just to go here ❤️ if you have a chance to stop here, please do it. You won’t regret it.

Conclusion: This place is not worth coming at all given the overall bad experience. The most French part of this restaurant maybe its idyllic serving style. The server seemed to be daydreaming all the time. The crepe is just mediocre with uneven seasoning and the service is absolutely terrible. There was only another table of people when I entered and the server got my coffee order wrong. When it came to the crepe, after a 20-min wait and seeing ppl after me getting their food already, I checked with the server couple of times about my order. She was very confident that my food wasn’t ready and went around chatting with the chef. It turned out that my order had been ready for a while and she simply didn’t see it on the counter?? So I finally got my cold soggy crepe after 30 minutes. This experience made me think the crepe was overpriced as well. I came in because of the good rating. But I didn’t pay attention to the bad reviews. Apparently many other people complained about their service as well.
