Seven Swans Creperie - Milwaukee

First time going i loved the place. Ambiance was very open and welcoming, nice and bright. Self serve which was a different concept but they were quick just got there just in time before the rush.Food was good sweet and savory. They had good choices of coffee as well. A must try if you are in the Riverwest area

Highlights 1) Amazing Food2) Cute Vibe3) Gluten-Friendly*Can't believe I waited this long to try Seven Swans! This is a perfect, cozy spot for weekend breakfast. We visited at around 11am on Sunday. The restaurant is order at the counter, then find a table style so no reservations. It was packed when we got there so we did have to put our order in and then wait about 10 minutes for a table to open up. It's a little cut throat for a table it seems so this may not be your best option if you have a really big group and are coming at a peak time. There were a ton of different crepe and specialty coffee drink options. They have sweet, savory and tons of gluten-friendly crepes. I did the "Frenchie" which had caramelized onions and gruyere cheese. It was bursting with flavor and perfectly portioned. Can't wait to come back! * Not sure on the status of a shared kitchen but the staff was aware of gluten-friendly items and the menu is clearly labeled. As always, if you have specific needs, call ahead or reach out to the restaurant.

I went to Seven Swans Creperie with two friends on a Saturday around 11AM. My first impression was that I loved the colors on the outside and inside of the building. Warm, colorful, bright, and comforting. It totally reminded me of a mix between an old school diner, Pinterest, and my granny's house! I mean all of that in a very positive way. Very cute!This restaurant doesn't take reservations, however, we found seats quickly. When I first walked in, I felt slightly overwhelmed, but they have great signage regarding how the process works and the staff was very friendly!When you arrive: grab a menu, find a seat, review the menu, then place your food and drink order at the counter. You're given a number for your table and everything is brought out to you. You pay prior to receiving your order. They also have a self-serve coffee station or you can order coffee drinks at the counter. The menu offers a great variety of sweet and savory crepes, including vegan options. They also have a dog-friendly patio, which I'm looking forward to enjoying in the summer.

Have you ever walked into a place and immediately know you are going to love it?That is seven swans creperie. Literally 10/10, no notes. I felt so happy simply walking in the door of this cafe with huge windows that let you soak up sun in spite of the frigid temperatures outside, coupled with the beautiful wallpaper and eclectic seating.. I felt like I want to come back here with a good book and hang out for a while. Upon entering, you are greeted with vibrant decor and hospitable and welcoming staff who guide you on how and what to order (counter service- order at the counter, they bring to your table). There is a great selection of sweet, savory, and vegan crepes in addition to a full espresso bar and scrumptious-looking (I didn't try any on this visit) bakery items. I only order syrup in my coffee if it's homemade and was pleasantly surprised to hear that their coffee syrups are house-made.Of course the crepes are the star of the show! We went with classics- Paris sweet and Frenchie savory. The savory had Gruyère and caramelized onions and we opted to add bacon and mushrooms. The sweet was classic with Nutella, bananas, strawberries, whipped cream and slivered almonds. Absolute perfection. And good sized portions too; they don't skimp on the fillings! My husband and I shared the two crepes and we struggled to finish #2. There is also a lot more seating than you would think- in the main area there is bar seating, a few tables including one that seats 10 people, and then there is the whole "patio" area with the huge windows that let in all the sun! Love is in the details, and you can feel the love here with not a single detail having been overlooked. P.S. I loved it so much I bought myself a Seven Swans Creperie crewneck and a sticker for my emotional support water bottle. Spread the love!

What an absolute gem in Riverwest!Delicious, inviting, and bright atmosphere inside. The crêpes are filling, especially the savory ones.We tried a sweet and savory crepe - the Paris and Frenchie.Both were amazing, they don't skimp on the fillings and the texture is perfect.I like the casual vibe: You order at the counter and they bring out your food. Cheerful, helpful staff and everything came out as it should. The vibes are that of your grandmothers farmhouse; loved the eclectic wallpaper and cozy patio.Great to have a breakfast spot that specializes in crepes and fills a welcomed niche in the Milwaukee brunch scene. 100% recommend this place for a really tasty breakfast.

I love Seven Swans! On my most recent visit I tried the Frenchie with bacon. Omg, this might be my new favorite. The flavors were so good. You can tell high quality ingredients are used. This place is well known in the city now so be prepared for a bit of a line.

Seven Swans is in my neighborhood and I finally found it. It's tucked away a little bit and only open Thursday-Sunday. But I love a good breakfast/brunch place and I'm glad I did.It is counter service. You order at the register and get a number and sit where you want. I sat at the bar which I like to do when I'm dining solo. The space has more room than it looks like from outside. The atmosphere has a chill, unhurried vibe.For my first visit I had the Frenchie crepe which comes with caramelized onions and Gruyère. I added mushrooms and an egg because I can. The Gruyère had a nice sharpness that complemented the sweetness of the caramelized onions. It was a nice amount of food, substantial but not too filling. There are sweet crepes too and other dishes like a salad on the specials board and a grain bowl.Seven Swans is a perfect addition to Riverwest and I'll be back.

This place felt like I was at my grandma's house having a cozy home cooked meal - I wanted to stay all day. Ordered at the counter and took a seat and our food came out quickly (it was a slower afternoon due to the snow so I can't attest to how it is at busier times). We got the tomato basil soup and one of the Goodfellas crepes - both were SO good. They also have a little gift shelf at the front where I was able to pick up a cute craft gift for my friend. I'm glad I got to stop in during my short visit to Milwaukee and highly recommend! Will definitely be back when I'm in town.

The vibes are so cozy! They have mismatched chairs and hanging plants and the most insta worthy accent wall. We rolled in at 1130 on a Sunday morning, so probably right around their peak and didn't order right away but fortunately we did get seats. Next time I would go right to the register and put in my order and then snag a seat because it might take a minute for your order to come out. I got a honey lavender latte and it was so good! For food I ordered the Vermonter with a sunny side egg added but they initially forgot the egg. It was quickly remedied with an egg brought to the table not even a minute later. Overall, a solid crepe, came as described except that the description said caramelized apples and the apples were just- regular apples. A good experience overall!

You order at the counter and they bring the deliciousness out to you. The wait was minimal ( on a Saturday morn!) and the food so, so good. I'll be back.
