Crepevine, Oakland, California, French Restaurant Details

Food:

Best blueberry pancakes on College Ave!

Food:

Open late nights, great for brunch or late-night coffee/tea chat. Got a bit on the pricey side recently, but still has value given the nearby alternatives.

Food:

I only tried dessert yesterday, but the chocolate mocha cake was delectable. I looked at people's dinners and saw many things that looked appetizing -- I need to try a full meal there.

Food:

Crepevine is a place you may have to wait a little bit. The wait tends to be worth it so stick it out. This is a great place to grab some breakfast if you are hungry. The atmosphere can be a little "busy" but that is part of the charm. Those home fries....

Food:

I USED to love this place. That was, until this weekend. My friend and I went in with our 2 toddlers. Yes, I know being a Sunday it would be extremely busy, and seeing two young children come in when a place is crazy can be daunting for the workers. But it's all part of the job.

I am guessing it was one of the owners or managers, who originally seemed so nice, he was helping to get us a table and high chairs. He then turned to us and said,

"You know we are very busy so if you could make this quick".

I was so stunned I didn't know what to say. My friend and I looked at each other in disbelief, did he really just say that?! So we did make it quick...picked up our two very well behaved children and left. We didn't even bother sitting down.

We will NEVER go back!!! I hope they will rethink their customer service in the future!!!
