This is a cozy little place on Baldwin Street with a colorful ambiance. We went here for a Sunday brunch and had some wonderful crepes. They played lovely music that enriched the background while still allowing us to have conversations. The service was pleasant and friendly. The crepes were delicious - both the sweet and savory ones. I would recommend the mushroom crepe and the egg-bacon-cheese crepe as well.
I've eaten in a few times. Dessert crepes have been consistently good. I really like their filled nutella, with topped raspberry and banana crepe. You definitely get a lot of crepe for the price compared to other crepe places in the city.
I also like the savory crepes as well. Smoked Salmon one is great. You can basically customize any savory or dessert crepe you get, so there's no limitation for you taste buds.
Ambiance was okay. Not much to look at inside the restaurant. It's still a good place to take a date though ;)
Went there for an anniversary dinner with my gf based on urban spoon ratings. It's at the corner of Baldwin, so it's not very noticable at first glance, as people tend to go for the ramen and other cuisine there. As expected, this place is definitely a hidden gem, the food was amazingly tasty and the service was great.
We ordered a borche soup, pork tenderloin entree, hashbrowns entree and a dessert crepe. They were all delicious and well balanced in flavor. However, I do have to say it's around $2-3 more expensive than other similar places.
Really hope they will become more popular in the future.
Ps: the washroom is showing its age but it was spotless clean.

Cute place. Can't wait to come back!. Service was a bit slow but reasonable.... and moreover, the food in the end was totally worth the wait. Had the creamy mushroom with spinach crepe, which was hearty without being too heavy and had a good filling-to-crepe ratio. The crepe itself was also soft yet firm. My friend ordered the salmon crepe, which was-- yeah sure, very garlicky-- but nonetheless delicious. For dessert we got the apricot cake. I never had apricot cake before but it might just become one of my favourite types of cake! The layers were light and spongey with not only cream but also tiny pieces of apricot in between.
As I mentioned, service could be better... like, it would've been nice to have had water at our table during our meal, or even afterwards... but since there was only one server who was managing all the tables (I think he was preparing some of the food as well?) it was kind hard to wave him down at times. The dishes for our table still came together and within a decent amount of time, so no major complaints.
Gotta say, the decor was unusual... Thought it was a sushi restaurant when I first walked in. I'm guessing the wooden posts belonged to the previous restaurant or something? The computer desk playing radio music at the back took me for surprise but it was actually kind of amusing. Overall, the place isn't very fancy but it's got this unassuming charm that's quite endearing.
I'll be trying some of the other things on the menu next time... hopefully with some water!
Amazing crepes! Toronto's best crepe restaurant from an amazing European pastry chef. We were blown away by the quality deliciousness of the amazing savoury and sweet crepes. :) one of the best pastry chefs in Toronto!!!! Must try!!!
Home made and fresh!. Newly opened place. Conveniently located near UofT, OCASI, and hospitals. Crepes are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Great variety, very friendly, always listen to your needs, very clean and tasty. Could be a meal on itself, can add whatever YOU like. FREE Wi Fi, great place to stay before class or while working on your paper. Relaxing atmosphere, good for groups as well.
Was just walking by when we noticed there was a table, a hot plate, and a sign that said, "Just Try Me" - if you say so!
I picked up a small glass bowl with a pork dumpling and some soup. I was surprised to see that outside a Crepe place, and it drew me in, so great idea with the free samples!!
A guy that works there came out and told us what it was we were trying, and told me the best way to devour it. Basically, I took a shot of pork dumpling soup. It was so delicious, and we decided we should probably get some dumplings to go!
While the takeaway was super yummy, it tasted better in the soup - I wish that was the standard way to serve it. It smelled so good inside the place, too, so I'll have to go back to try some more from the menu!
While passing by Crepes Club, an unassuming hot pot sat on a table outside, with a 'Try Me' sticker laid out. The pot was full of crispy pork and European-style dumplings [Pelmeni], and the guy working there caught me mid-bite. Bonus points for having free samples! The dumplings themselves were off the charts, so much so as to lure us inside to grab some for take-out. Seriously delicious. I can't recall having sampled many non-Chinese dumplings, and the flavour of these was outstanding.
The menu has a nice selection of crepes, but also an assortment of Eastern European-style dishes, which is cool to find among the other restaurants in Baldwin Village. The interior is fairly specious, and has a pretty laid back ambiance. The staff were very friendly, and happy to talk about the menu. Will definitely be back for more Pelmeni and the Pierogies!

I feel like I'm throwing out 5 stars all the time now, but I have no reason not to.
Came in at a completely unassuming time of 1:30 and had the Borscht and the Pelmeni. They were both awesome.
The Borscht stock you could tell was simmered well as there was a lot of flavour, and coupled with garlic and whatever other spices they put in there, it was very enjoyable. I come from a family that makes Borscht and tasted like gramma would make.
As for the Pelmeni, these things were unlike anything I've ate before. Part shanghai soup dumpling, part pirogi, looks like a tortellini, served in an urn-like dish, and comes with a massive amount of sour cream on the side.
These dumplings were really good. You bite into them and there is some sort of broth that comes out, and the minced meat is flavourful, and full of garlic. So if you don't want some wicked garlic breath after then that may be your only reservation; otherwise you gotta try these at least once in your life. The sour cream was mild and fresh tasting, and went perfect together. The amount of dumplings you get too will be more than enough for 1 person.
Other reviews have commented on the atmosphere and the decor and whatever, but I don't have much of an opinion on there because I came for the eastern european food, and I left satisfied.
The timing and situation worked out to give this place 5 stars for the food.
