French Twist Cafe

You have to do it. Go for it. Give in. You know you want to. No regrets. Order BOTH a sweet and savory crepe!My go-to order is the "L'Italienne." It consist of mozzarella, fresh baby spinach, tomatoes, olives and savory pesto. My sweet order is the epic "Crepe a la banane et au Nutella" which includes a banana covered in Nutella. They do have gluten-free options.This restaurant is huge. There is outdoor, main floor, and upstairs seating. Tons of wall outlets for those who want to work while they dabble in some crepes!

This is an EXCELLENT choice for breakfast in the Sykesville area. Seriously so good. I love small businesses who do their food well, and their customers' stomachs even better. The service here was really good, the worker at the counter explained the menu to me and you can tell there is a really nice family feel here. Great for a quick bite to eat. I got the Canadian crêpe, which I learned is their most popular flavor. It was INCREDIBLE. Perfect ratio of eggs to bacon to cheese. I asked for maple syrup on the side, you can get it in the crepe but I prefer the sweetness on the side. My girlfriend ordered the Spanish crêpe, which was incredible as well. Hers came with hot sauce, which was indescribable as a spicy lover. I stole hers and used it for mine as well, haha. For the filling, the Spanish crêpe had eggs, cheddar cheese, avocado, salsa, and she added ham to it. It was great! You can never go wrong with any crêpe flavor here. I'll so be back when I'm back in Maryland!

This is a reliable coffee and breakfast spot.It has decent seating outside.The crepes are large however a bit too straight forward to me. The croissants are fresh and tasty. Service is friendly.There isn't too much to choose from in Sykesville, so the town is lucky to have the nifty French Twist Cafe as a place to meet up.

My partner wanted to check out historic Sykesville, so naturally this place was on the list! He found this spot from an article mentioning this was one of the best cafes in MD. We were excited to come and check it out!We were greeted by friendly servers, which was a great start! Ordered crepes because how can you not at a French cafe? I enjoyed my Spanish crepe, it was salsa, eggs cheese and avocado( definitely lots of avocado!). It was filling and enjoyable, a lot more avocado than I expected but I prefer that to not enough! My partner really enjoyed his sweet crepe. I think the savory crepe was the best. I got a cappuccino with gingerbread syrup, it was good , a solid cappuccino.The inside is quaint and it's inside an older home so it feels cozy. They had internet and it was stable. Also had good air conditioning (it can get cold!). If you're in the area, this place is worth checking out!

Hidden gem in Sykesville, not too far and worth the visit from Howard County! The location is great in the Sykesville historic district - it has that quaint, old town feel with a railroad nearby and a bunch of small stores. The cafe itself is super cute and cozy, with plenty of seating across 2 levels. Great study or hang out spot! There are so many good options on the menu, and pretty reasonably priced as well. I tried the cinnamon and sugar crepe, which I enjoyed. The girls working said the French toast and banana Nutella were also popular options. My friend tried the chocolate croissant and chai latte, which she gave a 3.5/5. I'd say go for the crepes, which seems to be what they specialize in. Service was excellent. Everyone working there was friendly and pleasant. I'll definitely be back to try more!

This review could have and should have been better, but I have to rate the entire experience. The coffee was good, but it wasn't better than anything I'd get at any other place. Also, the service bugged me a little. They were nice, but when my order was done, the worker who took my order just got it and put it on the counter in front of the cook. I was standing right there, and the person made no eye contact. They just put it on the counter. I had to ask if it was mine. Seriously, you can't look at me and say, "here's your order?" It wasn't packed, either, so it's not like she was under a lot of pressure.The chocolate croissants tasted great. Mine was definitely better than other cafes. My daughter loved her nutella crepe, too. The upstairs has a lot of room, and it's very cute. I like the decorations.I will likely be back if I'm in the area. It's the kind of place I'd like to open up my laptop and work while drinking coffee and having a treat.

I continue to return to this location because of the good crepes, drinks, good service, and comfy atmosphere. It's a great place to relax during the weekend.

Wonderful crepes and coffees. The place is always packed on weekends with limited seating, but it adds to the ambiance. Strongly recommended.

We hadn't been to this restaurant since before the pandemic, and our return was not a happy one. I thought it was impossible to make a bad crepe, but the La Française crepes we had were terrible. The kid who made them apparently had no idea what he was doing, because they came out dry and overstuffed. It was more like a ham and cheese sandwich in a flour tortilla. Yuk. There wasn't anything French about it.

What an incredible hidden gem driving back from Baltimore! The crepes were fresh and delicious, organic hot tea, and a true cappuccino. We'll be back!
