The Creperie Cafe — Restaurant in Seaside

Super cozy and fun cafe featuring a wide selection of crepes and sandwiches, caffeinated beverages, and great vibes. We visited The Creperie Cafe for brunch on our way to Monterey, and we were super impressed by everything here, from the vibes, to the service, to the food. Starting with the ambiance — the space is remarkably cozy, with couches and hefty, sturdy wooden furniture that create a rustic and homey atmosphere. Being in Seaside, they, of course, have giant windows that are typically left wide open, with plenty of sunlight streaming in and the occasional whiff of saltwater. They also have a fun collection of artwork, including giant photo prints of prominent artists and activists, as well as a wall print of the First Amendment by the entrance — all in all, the decor is super interesting and, despite going in several different directions, manages to come together in a really cozy experience.

This is enhanced by how remarkably friendly the staff is — it’s clear how much the team cares about the restaurant and about their customers, and I love how helpful everyone is about navigating dietary restrictions or offering recommendations. The service is efficient; it can take a bit to get your food, but (1) that is fully understandable how crowded (and rightly popular) this spot is, and (2) it’s 100% worth the wait.

The menu feature just as diverse a selection as their decor — they have a ton of different crepes, ranging from sweet to savory, plus sandwiches and a huge selection of coffee. For the crepes, you can either get their standard batter or a gluten-free version (part of their Blue Zone inspired section). They have an impressive number of vegetarian options, all of which have a good amount of protein. I got the Mediterranean, which featured hummus, veggies, and tofu; it was absolutely amazing — the hummus gave the crepe a great richness and perfectly replaced cheese, the veggies were fresh and tasty, and I loved the extra protein from the tofu. My partner got the Veggie, which similarly featured veggies, but also had a healthy helping of cheese. It was also delicious, and you can further bulk it up with tofu and mushrooms with the Veggie Plus if you want something more substantial.

Their coffee selection is somehow even larger than their food menu. They have all the classic espresso drinks, plus a “tour of the world” menu featuring drinks inspired by different countries. There are at least 20 different options on their menu, all of which are quite unique and fun. I just got a classic cappuccino with almond milk and my partner a latte, but other folks in our group got a bit more interesting and tried the Italian coffee — which tasted like hot chocolate with whipped cream and a whisper of coffee, so great for folks looking for coffee without the taste of coffee — and a coffee / tea combo with condensed milk inspired by Hong Kong — another great choice for those who don’t want too strong of a coffee flavor or who can’t decide between...

Food: During a visit to the area with my fiancé and a friend, we decided to check out this cute cafe for breakfast. Drawn by their online reviews and the promise of crepes, we were not disappointed. Their menu offers a delightful assortment of coffee, drinks, crepes, and paninis. A standout feature was their eco-friendly edible drink cups, which I found incredibly cool and innovative.

I ordered a London Fog, which was delicious and perfectly brewed. My friend opted for a chai latte, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We both chose savory crepes; I went for the smoked salmon crepe, which was superbly delicious, while my friend had the veggie crepe. The crepes were generously cheesy, hearty, and filling, making for a satisfying breakfast.

Service: The service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, checking in on us regularly and even providing some hot sauce upon request. Their friendly and accommodating approach added to the overall positive experience.

Ambiance: The cafe boasts a charming and cozy atmosphere with art adorning the walls. A notable feature is the garage door that opens up, creating an inviting space where we could comfortably sit with our dog. The place had a relaxed vibe with many patrons working on their laptops, making it a great spot for both casual dining and getting some work done.

Overall: Seaside Creperie is a delightful breakfast spot that I would highly recommend. The combination of tasty drinks, hearty crepes, and excellent service makes it a must-visit if you’re in the area. The eco-friendly practices and dog-friendly environment are added bonuses that enhance the overall experience. I look forward to returning and trying their sweet...
