Rachel's Cafe and Creperie Review

I loved this place. I wish their place were near to me. The first time I came to this place it was so busy and I did not have the time to wait. Fortunately, later that day at a non-rush time I was able to get in easily. Great place for just a snack or dessert and to hang out with a friend. But their menu is deep here that you can make a good meal from your choices. The ideal would be to come to a large party to get a sample of lots of times. This place will remain a favorite that I will try to visit whenever I m in town.

Great food, and great atmosphere.

10/3/18 still great.

I've been there twice in the past month and had great experiences both times.The restaurant is adorable and smelled amazing as soon as we walked through the door. And servers was wonderful and helped us pick from the menu.

Love the food and all the workers are very handsome. Get the West end smoothie and go ahead and add some peanut butter

Had and awesome time with my cousin catching up on life!

Nice little spot in the city! Glad I gave it a try. And I will be returning. Friendly staff! Highly recommend! Nice little parking lot too!

I had the pumpkin cheesecake crepe and a pumpkin spice chai. Excellent. They made them very quickly and their ordering and outside service was perfect.

The food was delicious. The coffee reminded me of Italy. The service was excellent.

This place is packed so better make sure you get a table booked prior to getting there. Overall, as indicated in the name their specialty is crepes and they were quite delicious but nothing exceptional. I am always a bit subjective when rating US restaurants and Cafes but I always have the impression it's always more about the quantity rather than the quality.
Service was great!

Amazing food! Love the cozy atmosphere. Service was great!

Wonderful food! I would've appreciated slightly more kind staff but overall we really enjoyed it!

Excellent options with fresh ingredients! We also love that Rachel's Cafe is environmentally conscious.

Five star food! They are quite busy which adds to wait time. Not sure why they can't split the bill not a good place to visit with friends unless you want to pay for all.

Great crepes. They offer independent SDA brands. Don't expect Pepsi nor coca cola.

Atmosphere is great. Food is awesome. Oyler and smoked salmon crepes are to die for. Drinks are good. Sometimes the limited offerings fall a little flat. Service is generally a little slow. But they are nice. Go during the weekends and take your time.

Great little cafe! Worth every extra unit of insulin

Very good cheesesteak crepe, good prices, and good service.

Nice food selection with good sized portions, reasonably priced. Outdoor seating for nice days.

Wonderful service from great servers and employees. Outdoor seating is very nice under roof. All of the crepes, both dessert and main course, are to die for. And the prices are incredible for the quality and quantity that you receive. Always a crowded place!

Yummy crepes, charming place and very good service.

I only had coffee and a dessert crepe, but it was delicious and everything being served to other tables looked really appetizing. Extremely friendly staff. Would like to return soon to try more of the menu.

Wonderful crepes with the traditional fillings, but also crepes with different ingredients. Everything is fantastic. The ham and brie infused with tarragon is really great. They also have a wonderful coffee bar. The salted caramel nutella mocha was amazing. Definitely visit this place. The food, service, and atmosphere are wonderful.

Very very good! the best part about Rachel's is if you are with a guest it is a no phone zone!

Get the cyro lunch crepe! I have dreams of that delicious crepe :) honestly you can't go wrong with Rachel's

What a great place! Everyone was so nice. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can get an iced vanilla chai tea!

They are so good and there hashbrowns are very cute. The employees are friendly and the atmosphere is amazing. I recommend the cheeseburger crepe and the fresh berry cheesecake.

Busy morning and the staff was as pleasant and cheerful as can be. My crepe was amazing! Great start to my day.

Nice quiet place for breakfast lunch and early dinner. Sweet to savory dishes available. Coffee/latte's and smoothies available.
Indoor & outdoor seating

The food was good. If I'm in the area again I would go again.

Been here several times and was always excellent. The crepes were hot, fresh and loaded with flavor! Smoothies are outstanding. The place was always packed when we've been there and understandably so. Will be back.

My favorite little spot on Walnut! Nothing ever disappoint and the diversity is amazing!

My ham and brie crepe was so good. The service was excellent.

Delightful atmosphere, warm service, and a creative menu makes Rachel's a happy place to be.

Quick and friendly service! We both ordered the Fruit and Nuts crepe, which has real peanut butter, Nutella and fresh bananas! It was huge. I barely finished mine and my wife only ate a little more than half so I ate some of hers...couldn't help myself. Coffee was excellent, tasted fresh and not burnt. It's not a fancy-pants place, so you can go there feeling comfortable and relax. Definitely a nice place to end a long day out and about!

The Murray special had too much rice, and not much of the other items, hardly any eggs or sausage or brie, just a lot of cheap rice which does not match the high price of the product. And if you have menu items that are not vegan, please do not say that you dont have pans to make basic sides such as eggs and bacon. That is silly. I can make my eggs in the microwave and it comes out beautifully. And if it was a time issue, well my crepes took more than 30 minutes to arrive, so you should have had plenty of time to whip up those sides. Thanks for taking half off the specials to accommodate but that did not satiate my appetite for a culinary experience.

Quick service. Good food. Could use a little more space.

People. the food and coffee is just amazing I give this place six stars.

There are not enough stars to rate this Creperie!

No wait upon arrival so we placed our order fairly quickly after being seated, but for those who may encounter a line, IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! The service was pretty good AND THE FOOD, O-M-G!!! In my life have I had such a delicious savory crepe! Rachel's Cylo crepe topped those I've had in France! My friend had the Blackbird. We truly run out of words to express our satisfaction with the flavors we encountered as we consumed those huge crepes! :)

I only hope that by the time I return to Lancaster with family, they will have Gluten Free options on their menu. If you have no allergies to gluten, GO FOR IT!!!

Whether you are looking for a quick bit or a meal this is the place. The have soup,salad,coffee,smoothies, and the best crepes in the whole world.(the carimell apple is my fav)

It was super busy but well worth the wait. Definitely get there early. We went on a Sunday morning and it was crazy. The crepes and Nutella hot chocolate were amazing though!!

Fantastic food. They have a most wonderful build your own crepe.

Excellent food. Pretty good service. Had to ask for coffee refills every time. Otherwise, wonderful!

The crepes are amazing. The service, however, is not. All girls for the wait staff, all of which look like they'd be working in a tattoo shop. Very snooty attitudes. At least on one occasion, I have felt like (since I am female) I cannot be flirted with to receive a good tip, and they assume they will not get one, and then they act accordingly. I will always base tip on service received, not gender, or unprofessional behavior (flirting). Then these people create self-fulfilling prophecies. Who would want to tip well when they are ignored? Not me. Sorry, ladies.

Delicious! Our first time there and can't wait to go back again! Thank you for the wonderful food and fantastic customer service!!

Super busy on the weekend mornings but the food is always worth it. The smoke salmon crepe is my go to.

I order the federal cheese egg Crepe, Edit had hardly any egg in it what so ever other than a little brushing over the crepe. I was not really satisfied have been there before and loved breakfast their, But whoever made this one did not put in too many ingredients it was a waste of my money. Parking area was very convenient in the rear and the service from the gal who waited on me was excellent.

Always great. It's tough to pick wrong off the menu at this place, and now that spring has arrived outdoor dining pushes this place over the top.

You can tell every detail was made with love, from the food to decor to the attention given by the staff A++

The food is absolutely amazing! The vibe of the place is pretty chill too.

I couldn't have found a better place for lunch. My friend took me here and showed me some wonderful food.

Excellent service and delicious food! Great outside area! One if our favorite places!

Delicious food and drinks. Nice atmosphere and layout. Kind and courteous staff. Rachel's a staple of most of stops in Lancaster.

Great Califonia Chicken crepe. Latte is smooth and delicious. Definitely a find.

Amazing crepes. Seriously, amazing. We were in Lancaster for the weekend and went there for an early dinner Saturday night. The food was so good we were back for breakfast before leaving the next morning. FYI - this place gets packed. They opened at 9 and we got there at 9:05 and there were at least 10 tables already going. When we were leaving at 10:30, there had to be at least 20 people waiting to be seated.

Best crepe we had - Tavern on the Green. I had reservations about sour cream in a dessert crepe, but it is amazing.

Best savory crepe - Veggie Santa Fe. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Not as much as the Tavern on the Green, but if you're the kind of person that wants real food before dessert, this is a very tasty crepe.

Best drink - The coffee is high quality and I would order a cappuccino there any time. I also had a smoothie, which was good, but is actually so filling it gets in the way of eating more crepes. I don't need that.

Service - The service is French. Or European. That's not an insult or a dig in any way. It is friendly, but at a relaxed pace. I never felt rushed to order, eat, or leave. The meal moved along and we were never left waiting too long. That being said, if I was in a rush, this would not be a good place to come.

Ambience - Fun. There is a chic, yet down-to-earth feel to the restaurant. Yellow floral wallpaper paired with rustic wooden tables, blue chandeliers, and exposed brick. Very bright atmosphere that adds to the energetic buzz.

Price - Reasonable. Crepes range from $2.50 for butter and sugar to $8.50 for a specialty crepe with added meat.

Bonuses - 1) Kid-friendly. I usually associate French with fancy, but this place welcomed our 4-month-old in his stroller and there were plenty of babies and kids from his age and up. However, they don't have a changing table, so be prepared to maneuver! 2) Conscientious. They participate in the suspended coffee program. Although, I'm pretty sure they just hand them out to anyone in need, regardless of if enough have been purchased.

This place is fantastic. It's been busy every time I have visited, and the food is always top notch. Nice variety of coffee drinks and tea, and the crepes will not disappoint. Servers have always been quick and friendly. Parking is limited, so finding a spot on the street is a good plan, just look out for adjacent lots that have a bad reputation for towing unauthorized vehicles.

Food was huge and fantastic. However the service was weird... I was with friends who live in the area and swear that bad service never happens, but my friend had to ask THREE times for a glass of water to be brought to him before he actually got water.
And for me I have sensitive teeth so I had asked for water with no ice and the waitress gave me water with ice and said Here s your water with no ice ... Not sure if you have eyes, lady!

Indoor and outdoor seating, great staff, incredible food.

Whatever you have in your mind as a crepe isn't right when you come here. They are thicker, better tasting, and stuffed to the gills.
The staff were sweet and super helpful, so don't be mean to them.
They have amazing chai, and flavored coffees so remember to order one and sip on it while you wait for your crepe to cool enough to eat.

Oh and use your hands and pick it up for the best experience!

Great little gem that has been a part of Lancsster for a while. French inspired classics like nuetella hot chocolate and classic fruit filled/dessert crepes along with exotic and savory options, like the thai chicken crepes. Great lunch spot or a place to take out on their deck on nice days.

Greek omelette was delicious. We had to ask for utensils and napkins. Coffee was not so good more like office taste. Like bottom of pot. Light in restroom was very dim. Service was very good. Friendly

Food doesn't seem to be as flavorful as a year or 2 ago. But coffee is still great.

I've been going to Rachel's Cafe for so long. The staff is so friendly, there's free parking behind the building so no panicking finding a spot on the street, and the food is amazing! What more could you want?!

Best Crepes. Very good servers, everyone friendly. Check out the decorations.

Delicious crepes... Love the "make your own" option! The Mexican hot chocolate is also fabulous!
