Les Bobos Crepes — Restaurant in Austin

This place is great! I’ve been going here for 2 years already, and I adore their food. I started going as a student, but now I live ~15-20 minutes away and it’s definitely worth the drive. I would highly recommend it!

Food

There are great sweet crepes, but what really stands out to me is the savory crepes. You can find good sweet crepes at a few places around the city (here included!), but this is the only place I’ve found with great quality savory crepes. Everything is made when you order.

My grandmother spent half her life in France and is very vocal when she dislikes something; I took her here, and she loved it!

Quality of Ingredients

Everything here is fresh and high quality. The fruit is sweet, the mushrooms are freshly sauteed, and the prosciutto is clearly authentic. The coffee is Lavazza brand. The tea is Mariage Frères (a recent upgrade!).

Attention to detail

Everything here has effort put into it. The crepes are filled the right amount, the cheeses are specifically chosen to compliment the other ingredients, and there are tons of customization options. I’m lactose intolerant and have a negative reaction to caffeine, but an oat milk decaf chai latte isn't a problem here.

I have had a good experience every single time I’ve come here, and I’ve been here quite a few times now.

Authenticity

This place holds up very well when compared to crêperies I’ve been to in Paris, Brussels, Bordeaux, etc.

They even offered savory crepes made with buckwheat flour (a “galette” in French), although I can’t remember for certain if this is still an option (I haven’t ordered one in a while).

Genuinity

There is so much heart here. The owners pour their soul into this place, and that’s evident from the moment you walk in. They truly care that you have a good experience, not just because it reflects positively on the business, but also because they’re fundamentally kind, caring people. It’s clear that getting this place off the ground (during early covid!) has taken an incredible amount of effort, and that they are willing to put in however much more it takes. I have a huge amount of respect for them.

I cannot recommend this...

I had the pleasure of meeting Madame Elle, the owner of @lesboboscrepes, yesterday and let me tell you - she’s a gem! From the moment she walked up to welcome me, she had a gleaming smile in her eyes (because everyone is wearing masks there) and was eager to tell me about her Crêperie. After spending some time in Europe and in France Elle fell in love with the concept of savory crêpes along with of course the sweet kind and decided to bring that concept to Austin. Elle envisioned a sleek and chic French bistro that didn’t require a huge sign, but simply the smell of the fresh crêpes to guide you to the right place. Although Covid threw a wrench in her plans (c’est la vie!), Elle’s Les Bobos Crêpes is open for socially distant business on West Campus and for to-go orders. I started with a turkey, gruyere, veggie, and pesto crêpe which was the perfect balance of savory and sweet (and very filling). After a coffee break of the most amazing frozen espresso that I’m still dreaming of, the orders of sweet crêpes being prepared enticed me for dessert. The pièce de résistance was the decadent cinnamon apple crêpe that could not have been any better! I can’t wait to come back and try everything else on the menu! So come visit Elle and her wonderful and friendly team at Los Bobos Crêpes and help support a local business to get them to their Grand Opening and beyond to becoming an...

What a delightful experience! From the moment we walked in, it felt like we'd been transported to a French neighborhood creperie. The hostess greeted us warmly, setting the tone for a relaxed, enjoyable interlude.

I went with the savory spinach and mushroom crepe, while my husband opted for the classic ham, Gruyère, and spinach combo. His came out a bit quicker, but both were well worth the wait. Served in clever paper cones, the crepes were easy to manage—once we got the hang of the “crepe cone” technique!

Phil’s crepe had that authentic Croque Monsieur vibe, rich and satisfying. Mine was bursting with fresh spinach and generously filled with plump, juicy mushrooms—savory, and so satisfying.

They serve the European style LaVazza coffee here. It was a hot day so we both ordered iced cappuccinos, which were lovely and reinforced the French bistro feel.

For dessert, we shared a lemon crepe, which turned out to be the perfect finishing touch: thin, warm, and filled with a tangy lemon curd that hit just the right balance of sweet and tart.

If you have to grab and go, opt for the specials. Otherwise, this is the place to relax and enjoy the meal at a French pace.

Overall, a lovely experience. We’re already looking forward to our next visit when we're back in the West...
