T-Swirl Crêpe just opened their new location in Elmhurst, Queens, on Sunday, June 4th 2023.
I saw a sponsored ad on Facebook and decided to drop by as I was free. They also had a promotion for the first 100 customers - they could purchase selected crêpes for $3 only (limit one person). The next 100 could purchase selected crêpes for $5 only (limit one person).
I had never been to a T-Swirl before and trust me I wasn't disappointed! The place has some seating arrangement. If you decide to go with a group of friends or family, that should be okay, but in case limited seating is an issue, then there's a park just nearby where you can enjoy your delicacy. T-Swirl offers both sweet and savory crêpes, with options to add some tasty drinks with it. I think the crêpes come in Regular and Small sizes - I'd recommend getting the Regular size as it's best for the value.
I showed up early today and I was luckily on the 11th position on queue. Please trust me, the hype was really worth it! Also, please note that they'll have 15% off on all food items until next week Sunday. So, please be sure to grab this offer!
Taste - I got the Matcha Chocolate Truffle Crêpe - Regular Size. In one word, it tasted just awesome! It wasn't very sweet, the chocolate was warm and in the shape of cubes, so you could chew on it, there were some chocolate drizzles and little bit of chopped nuts, the matcha added a smooth, cold texture within the crisps of the hot crêpe while the sliced strawberries provided a much needed fresh tanginess.
I'm so glad that I decided to go with this! Also, please be sure that some prices may change a little than what is printed on the menu. The cashier was really sweet and kind, and explained to me that they charged a little extra for the crêpe that I chose. So, please confirm and don't hesitate to ask questions about your order. Also, bonus, they make your food right in front of your eyes so you can see what's going on in that beautiful kitchen of theirs!
Ambience - Beautifully lit with soothing lights and they have a great taste in music! Even if takeout is your thing, please be sure to try a dine-in once here - you'll get cheered to your...

I got their strawberry banana crepe and because there was an ongoing promo, I also got a free mango Yakult drink too! The crepe was made really quickly as they already have crepes ready to assemble behind the counter. I like how they packaged it in a way that made it easy to eat and not spill everywhere. The crepe had a good amount of filling and one is definitely enough for one person.
Maybe I'll give one of their savory crepes a...
Read moreI have gotten crepes from this location more than a few times and every time I was greeted by the same cashier. The service that I received was some of the best and she always smiled while taking my order. She recommended some of the tastiest options on the menu and made the entire atmosphere of the restaurant light up. The service here was so amazing that it has been the only time I have tipped 25%. My only complaint is that there is not enough fruit put...
