They used to be a great crêperie near Nob Hill in the alphabet district area and ever since Cove I think it is closed. Then I discovered this place just recently and so happy that there's more Crêperie's around and this is got to be one of the best ones I've been to in a long time. The variety of what they give you is awesome! They have choices between sweet and savory and they even let you build your own crêpe which is awesome! I couldn't help with the peaches and cream with a little bit of syrup... I got a sweet tooth and it's bad..

One of the best experiences in Portland! We ordered : -Toasted steel-cut oatmeal (with orange cranberry rhubarb compote and steamed milk) - Pain Perdu (baguette slices soaked in spiced rum custard) -Salad Rouge (radicchio, roasted beets, blood oranges) -Provence crepe (with goat cheese & marsala-soaked figs) We were both blown away especially by the pain perdu. It was one of the best desserts we have ever tasted and paired nicely with the strong drip coffee. Definitely plan on going back!

New to the neighborhood and have been in 4 times. -Food: is good and made to order -staff: friendly but amateurs. Forgotten orders, long waits, not organized -won't seat you inside even if they have room. Two people are forced to sit outside with no heater even though they have 4 or 5 tables open

The crepes were yummy, we had a chocolate hazelnut one as well as an apple caramel-y one however the staff was very standoffish and rude. It seemed like they wanted to close early, or just not have anyone eat inside, even though we arrived well before the close, fully vaxxed with proof, and it was also a Friday night on Belmont. There were two people behind the bar and one was making our crepes and mentioned to his coworker that they were out of something for the Chocolate crepe and she just shrugged casually. and said it's fine without. Would have rather that they turned to us and said something like "we are out of x ingredient but can substitute or something" It made the whole experience a bit awkward and unwelcoming.

**vegetarian review** Suzette is a super cute cafe - which is recommended by my friend as a place with strong flavours and good crepes. Unfortunately the flavours were way to strong for me to enjoy. I got the green shakshuka crepe, the Marsala soaked figs and amandine and grilled cheese. The green shakshuka was not at all like shakshuka - I could really just taste leeks and chards with feta. The feta was a saviour since I doubt I would have finished this otherwise. Marsala soaked figs was the one I actually liked - the caramelised onions were great. Amandine was way to strong and sweet. One bite was one too many for me. Similar for the grilled cheese - I didn't quite enjoy the veggie + spice mix in there. I also got a mocha which I liked. On the whole - this place was not for me. More so cause I enjoy different flavours and not necessarily because it's not good food. My friend still likes this place for once in a while.

Went here a couple of years back and enjoyed it, but we're lucky enough to have tons of good restaurants in this city, so I didn't make it back until last weekend for their Valentine's Day meal. Even though it was a to-go meal, it reheated perfectly with their (handwritten!) instructions. The quality exceeded our expectations, the people there were super-friendly and clearly cared about the food, and now I'm hoping to get back there sooner to have some more crepes!

Super cute place! went this morning for brunch & it was delicious. My partner got the egg sandwich which i was told was delicious and filling, we both got a cardamom latte and that was incredible. The mulled apple cider was a bit alcoholy but definitely worth it. I made my own crêpes because why not and I have to say the goat cheese with spinach is an absolute delight. The sweet crêpe was to die for because it had homemade Nutella Apples soaked in apple cider and salted caramel drizzle incredible.

I've eaten here twice now and both times were phenomenal! I always liked the idea of savory crepes but found myself underwhelmed by the execution, until I had the Smoked Salmon Afrique at Suzette - an unexpected, glorious, perfectly balanced flavor combo. One of these days I have to try the other savory crepes. The second time I also ordered a Crepe Suzette with marzipan added, which was also excellent. I usually go for simple sweet crepes like lemon-butter-sugar, but this was rich without being too much. The Suzette sauce was just right, orangey and not too sweet or too bitter. So happy to be able to get such creative and delicious crepes in PDX!

Always on the lookout for an egg sandwich I quickly decided on the Grilled Fried Egg Sandwich. So good! My new fav and can’t wait to go back and get another.Seems like the only place to get an egg sandwich with a soft yolk is a few Bahn Mi establishments, but that’s a different style and the way they cook the egg is usually unpredictable.Suzette has got it down! Served on thinly sliced sourdough toasted to perfection complemented with tomato jam, goat cheese, wilted kale, lemon-cilantro chermoula and of course the perfect egg with a semi-liquid yolk. Nirvana.I also had the knockout Onion and Mushroom Soup Gratinee that was thick, cheesy (Gruyère) and savory with subtle sweet and sour flavors complimented with a monster sourdough crouton. Yum!

Took our daughter here for her birthday, and we all loved it! Food was tasty and creative. Our daughter needed gluten- and dairy-free and they delivered. We highly recommend.
The food is good. Not great. The negative part is the service. When you walk in, you carry your own water and silverware to your table. In order to order, you need to get back up and place your order. While ordering, you're prompted to tip.( which we did. 18%). When you're food is ready, you have to get back up and get your food. When you're done eating, you need to bus your own table.. scrape your plates and sort everything into the labeled bins. I do not mind tipping if there is SERVICE.. but if you prompt for a tip, you need to offer some service. On top of that, the cashier forgot to add a .50 side ( yes, fifty cents) so on are way out they stopped us after getting an 18% tip for ZERO SERVICE, and demanded payment. Asking us to even put it on a credit card if we didn't have the change. Horrible customer service. Take it out of your tip that you honestly, should of paid us for serving ourselves.

Oh my! What a sandwich. Like Anton Ego (the critic from Ratatouille) I was transported to my childhood in the fondest of ways. In this case it was an egg sandwich. I had eaten my share of "hard" egg sandwiches growing up and traded just as many for whatever sounded better. But I digress, Suzette's Grilled Fried Egg Sandwich was easily one of the best I've ever had. On a thinly sliced sourdough toasted to perfection with something called tomato jam, lemon-cilantro chermoula (?), wilted kale and goat cheese. Wow. Would I trade? Not for anything I can think of. I also had the Onion and Mushroom Soup Gratinee that splendidly paired with my PDX winter. Very flavorful with a natural sweet and sour goodness that wouldn't let me put it down. Man! The huge crouton is the perfect touch. My daughter had a Chocolat Signature Dessert Crepe She really liked that it wasn't too sweet and cooked perfectly throughout.

The excellent selection gets one star. The rude staff spoil everything else. When online reviews affect business, if she doesn't get or care that service matters then she deserves all the bad reviews she's gotten and will get onward. Reality check, woman.

Apparently this little local creperie had an excess of customers and income, so at some point in the past few months they chose to only serve "vaccinated" people. People such as myself are expressly not welcome, as the sign states on their door.At last glance, it was empty inside except for two employees.Anyway, I suppose it's for the best; there are so many great restaurants in Portland to pick from, why would I want to patronize an establishment that clearly doesn't want my business? Plenty of others are happy to have it.And when that sign comes down some day, and I'm once again allowed to eat there, I won't be sampling their cuisine then, either. They've made their priorities perfectly clear.

Really charming space. I had the fig crêpe with garlic chickpea spread and caramelized onions. I would recommend it, it’s a unique combination of flavors. My friend had a classic crêpe with lemon and sugar. It hit all the right notes. Also there are a lot of vegan options here.
