Key Plaza Creperie - Breakfast & Lunch Key West — Restaurant in Key West

I was walking on Duval street, and saw a crepe place, that inspired me to look into crepe in Key West and as I read the reviews, I decided to try Key Plaza Crepe and Oh My God! That was the best decision I did! Thanks to fellow Yelpers!!!

This restaurant should be located on Duval street in my opinion! More people need to know about this place!! by far, the savory crepe here is as good as the one my best friend and I had in Versailles, France!! Even better than the French place we found in Charleston!! So good that we came back twice on the same day, and the third time the next day!!

I ordered the organic buckwheat with sunny side up egg, add bacon, avocado and spinach. I told them to make it crispy and they did! It was soooo good! Again, as good as the French version! I mentioned that to the owner and he said the chef had her training in France. The water they filtered is a huge improvement from what France has. They made everything themselves!! This crepe is the best crepe I’ve had in the United States! I love my French crepe in Versailles so much that I wanted to try French crepe whenever I can, wherever I travel to.

The ice tea was also amazing! My partner asked me how it would compare to my favorite ice tea in Charleston that I had to have every day, and I honestly couldn’t give him a legit answer because they are both sooo good!

The Cuban coffee with cream was also good! You can ask them to add milk and sugar. They have alternative milk options for people with lactose intolerance issues (like me). Ah, because of that, you don’t see cheese on my crepe but it does normally come with cheese.

Let’s talk about the service. The first time we came, we were impresses with a man running around to all different tables making sure everyone was ok on a busy Saturday morning. He was fast, efficient but very attentive. He gave us a quick walkthrough of what the items on the menu are about, how they are made etc!! We knew he was the owner because of how much he cared. John, his name, also suggested to order what he felt was good (like the potato and some people come here just for that). I told him I wanted crispy buckwheat and it came out just as perfectly as I expected. There was another gentleman going around all the tables to make sure everyone got everything they needed, and he filled up the water very frequently to all the tables. It is rare to see this type of customer service any where.

On the third time, it is not the same without John! Although service was good but I felt the waiter was in a hurry and didn’t thoroughly listen to what I had to say. And it wasn’t crowded. Besides our table, there was only another table. My buckwheat didn’t come out as crispy as it was on my first and second time. The cuban coffee didn’t have sugar although I clearly said I wanted to have sugar with it. There was sugar on the table to add so that was fine, but given what I had before, I was disappointed. This is totally minor and would not change my opinion about the restaurant! I had the best experience in Key West with this restaurant. Highly recommend...

My experience is a different when they first open the restaurant I was trained as well as others to prepare and cook. initially the owners were very nice the partner/cook was hesitant at first she agreed to teach me all that I needed to know so she could take a break when she returned from her respite she was so rude and so ungrateful made it impossible for me to continue. I felt used. Had the pleasure of preparing crapes for the owners children and for others customers who where there on their grand opening day the grand opening week and month. The Spanish man who was there from the very beginning clearly was unhappy that I was working there, but managed to tolerate it and remained slightly professional it was not my performance I did the best that I could and got decent reviews but it was clear these people had no intentions on keeping me and a few others on staff they had a specific desire for a Spanish staff and that is what they aimed for. to this day these people are extremely rude when and if I should appear in the restaurant. once I came in with my husband and we sat down once the food arrived my crepe was so overwhelmingly salty it is as if the head cook did it deliberately this is the level of rudeness I am talking about.

They used me and others and I...

I rarely leave 2 or 3 Star Reviews, but...

Pros: Friendly staff. Mimosas good. Nice outdoor seating.

Cons: Price inflating in my opinion. Ordered a Caprese sandwich, which should traditionally come with Balsamic but this one didn't so I asked for a side of it. The waitress never told me that would cost extra , but I never imagined it would be an extra $2.50 for this tiny container (see pic below) and it really felt like they were nickel and diming us on it. Then, my daughter's friend ordered a sandwich that had Swiss and she asked for cheddar instead--WE WERE NOT ADDING CHEESE--JUST SWAPPING SWISS FOR CHEDDAR--they charged us a $1.50 for the swap. It seems like the owners are trying to get every extra cent out of unsuspecting tourists, I get Key West is more expensive than most places, but it sure does leave a bad taste in one's mouth when you feel like you are getting nickel and dimed. . La Creperie (downtown) and Croissants De France (2 locations) are both wonderful, authentic French options and I have never felt that they take advantage of customers. Oh, well, I tried Key Plaza Creperie, but it is a no for me in the future.I come here multiple times a year and we decided to try something new, but I will stick with my other two Fav...
