I got banana & Nutella with ice cream. The crepe was $9, and the ice cream was separate at $1.50. It's not worth it for the price Only the ice cream makes the crepe good, and it's not even a big scoop. Once the ice cream is finished, it just turns into a big chewy blob. And the Nutella, for some reason, didn't even taste like Nutella The only good thing about the place is the setting. It's big, with many seating options + free wifi

The kitchen does not open until 8am - big disappointment as I was looking forward to a crepe before work. Had to go somewhere else.

I was looking for a coffee shop in the loop and ran across Crepe & Bean. As the name implies, they have crepes and coffee, but they also have smoothies and smoothie bowls. Plus, the crepes include sweet and savory options. What's more, the savory crepes use halal meat. What more could one want? I had to check this place out.The interior is nice and spacious, and the ambience is relaxed. I like the decor, especially one of the paintings that I unfortunately didn't snap a photo of. Service was friendly. I decided on a spicy beef crepe and a cappuccino, although I would have liked to try a smoothie as well.The crepe was presented like a bouquet of flowers. Very cool. It was kind of hard to eat, though. The crepe itself was excellent, and it wasn't overly sweet or anything so it worked perfectly fine with savory fillings. As for the fillings, there wasn't much ground beef in there, but the little bit in there was quite tasty thanks to the sauce it was slathered in. Even though it was called spicy beef, it wasn't spicy at all. The matchstick carrots and red onions were nice, but unfortunately the bulk of the filling was lettuce. I mean, it's a good way to get your greens, but I also like my protein.The cappuccino was excellent. It had a nice, thick layer of foamed milk on top. Most places simply cannot get that right. It could be that some baristas simply aren't trained properly on using the wand, or other shops don't have very good machines. Crepe & Bean got it right, so the foam was very satisfying.All in all, a very nice lunch, coffee, or snack spot if you're in the loop.

Found this spot because it was close to Union Station. My friends got the savory crepes and those looked really good, but I got an acai bowl because it was hot out. I like mine with as much fruit as possible, but there wasn't much choice on the menu. This is the first one I've had with cashews on top, which I wasn't a big fan of. Otherwise it was fine. This place is pretty nice inside with plenty of seating. If I lived nearby I'd definitely visit often to study or something.

We were in a hurry and in search of coffee and something light for breakfast. We are so happy we found Crepe and Bean. We love breakfast and what is better than breakfast that you hold in your hand? Yay!!! Breakfast in a crepe! We ordered the California Breakfast which came with scrambled eggs, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, spinach, and avocado all served in a freshly cooked crepe. This hand held breakfast delight was so tasty. All of the ingredients worked together for a fantastic breakfast flavor. We also had two of their lattes which were very refreshing. We really enjoyed our first stop at Crepe and Bean and will keep it in mind when we are in the neighborhood in the future and need a yummy breakfast.

Food was delicious, service speed could be improved, ambiance relaxing. I ordered a crepe with turkey bacon, eggs, spinach, cheese. It was perfectly seasoned. I also ordered a brown sugar cinnamon drink, too much cinnamon for me, returned the drink. Then ordered a lavender lemonade, tasted good but tasted like carbonation in the drink, and I cannot have carbonation. So if you can I would recommend the drink.

I was pretty excited to grab a breakfast crepe while in town. Was greeted by a fantastic friendly employee who definitely made anyone that walked in feel welcome. Unfortunately the crepe was pretty tough to eat and was falling apart. Good flavor but just tough to eat as designed. Espresso was great

Amazing crepes in the city! All crepes are rice crepes so they are gluten free. The shop has a wide variety in menu items whether you're looking for something sweet or savory. We got the goat cheese pear & honey and the lox. It was a little messy so be cautious with kids but the shop gives you a paper holder to tear as you make it further in your crepe. They are all made to order too so prepare to wait an extra few minutes but worth the wait!The shop is being and cozy with free wifi if you wanted to pop open a laptop and get some work done.

Crepe & Bean is my go-to coffee shop downtown. It is tucked away in the lobby of Presidential Towers, so it took me a while to discover it, but I'm so glad that I did! The space feels relatively large for a downtown coffee shop, so I rarely have trouble finding a table to work from. The wifi is fast and the coffee is good. Their orange macchiatos and lavender lattes are amazing. I've had a few of their crepes, which are just okay. I find them to be a little bit messy and they don't stock forks/knives, so they're hard to eat. Pricing is on the high side, but on par with other coffee shops in the area. Service is friendly and they work quickly to get your order out to you. The whole place, including the bathrooms, is pretty clean and I love the cozy atmosphere. The playlist is usually pretty good and is never too loud, so it is a great place to work or hang out and read. They even have a little free library in the corner!

Best Savory crepe I have ever had, I ordered the chicken teriyaki, I also ordered the mascarpone with berries for dessert and it was also very good, pretty packaging when you get it to go.
