I first came in here for a coffee $2, which was really nice and light.
The second time was to try their hot chocolate with "melted Valhrona chocolate" $5.95, sounds good doesn't it??
I had the light, milk chocolate, traditional. It was a giant mug of yumminess, and lots of sweet. This wasn't as sweet as my friend's rich, dark chocolate, also tradition (way too sweet for me).
I love the atmosphere, love taking friends here for a coffee date, GREAT service!, and it's a cute place. NO I haven't tried their crepes yet but am dying to! -

All the crepes that my gf and I had were very good. (We had Chipotle chicken crepe, dark chocolate crepe, and dulce pear crepe.) The flavor was good. Chipotle chicken was very tasty and savory. The crepe was well cooked, just a little bit crispy on the edge.
Hot chocolate was a bit watered down (not enough chocolate). It could have been richer. We'll never order it again, definitely not for its current price of $5.95.
No free wifi here in case you're wondering. -

Is it just me or if you want to get a quick fix all there is around Queen and Bathurst is poutine, a pizza pizza, Ghandi's and high priced restaurants? (416 is the exception but it's more of a snack and less of a meal plus constantly packed). I was running around for Canadian Music Week, so Chococrepe with the light at the end of the tunnel.
VIBE
Light and bright like a cute little kitchen you'd stumble upon! Le Love.
There's a gilded mirror and chandelier in the back with a bigger table for groups. The servers (okay, one of them) are like a dream out of an Anthropologie ad. Nice, friendly and quick. The patrons that sat beside me were really nice too and we had a conversation.
THE GOODS
Sweet and Savoury are on the menu. There are a good amount of overpriced hot chocolates. (I get it. Rent has to be paid.) I had the chipotle chicken crepe with arugula. The chipotle mayo was a bit spicy and I wasn't super full but it was satisfying. The neighbour had the strawberry chocolate crepe, which comes with a vanilla cream sauce that you pour over the crepes (another note: they're not folded). He enjoyed it. I'll probably have that next time I'm in.
A note: they have specials on the chalkboard above the cash when you walk in. My server didn't tell me of the specials. Though I was in a protein mood, I would have liked to have to had the three cheese crepe. It seems that cheese is lacking from the menu on the savoury crepe side.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
A nice, colourful addition to the Queen West nabe.
I'll be back!Listed in: Sweets and Treats, Coffee, Cafe, Chillax, French Kiss

Let it be known that sex is overrated, by comparison to a good crepe!!!
I tasted the sublime and other worldly pleasures of the Dulce Pear crepe and my tastebuds are still reeling from the afterglow...to the point that my husband's so sick of hearing about it!
Get your ass to Chococrepe NOW!!!*

Chococrêpe is quaint little crêperie. Butter flour batter crêpe is generally used for the sweet dessert crêpe. The restaurant will also substitute it for savory crêpe if you are a weak sauce buckwheat hater like my friend. Chococrêpe is not a bad option if you are in the area. I just wish the crêpe was lighter and crisper like Crêpe A Gogo. On the other hand, Chococrêpe is more spacious than some of its counterparts! More room for chitter chatter...gossip better! ;)
Instead of sugar, Chococrêpe used $30 per kilogram Valrhona chocolate in their hot chocolates. The chilli cayenne hot chocolate was good. The spiciness was just right. The heat hit the throat instead of the mouth. It was frothed beautifully! The drink was not homogenous. There were residual dark chocolate bits at the bottom of the mug. It was still a decent drink over all!
Chococrêpe has a promotion on dine.to for $10 for hot chocolate and crêpe till the end of March. -

Absolutely loved this place!From the fantastic interior to the overly enthusiastic and helpful owners, they have everything a cafe/restaurant should have!The crepes are to die for, I had the brie crepe which was beautiful and great value for money as I was happily full afterwards!I'm not sure if the 'savoury crepe' idea has caught on yet in Toronto but it certainly should as it is a nice light food option&healthy too!Went to R2 afterwards which is also nice but the staff were overly rude&the music a bit weird, doesn't compare in the slightest!GO CHOCOCREPE!

Review from Edwin A.
We had just visited Chococrepe a second time this weekend.
Initially we tried ordering the Pina Colada crepe but were informed it was not available. Alright.
So we decided on the Dulce Pear crepe plus a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
When it arrived it was folded in half unlike the first visit where the crepe was served open, exposing the contents in full glory.
The appearance seemed a bit plain but a peaked inside, you could see a bit of the caramel. I'm all for surprises so after cutting into it and tasting a few bites it was clear this crepe was another amazing hit!
Details of the crepe;
the dulce de leche (caramel) tastes like melted Kraft caramels squares. It is the essence of this crepe, together with the thinly sliced Bosch pears which I felt neutralizes the sugars and provides a crunchy texture.
And since this crepe didn't have chocolate which could mask the flavours, the crepe taste was more apparent this time around. Vanilla sauce was provided in a small container on the side. I poured just a little as I already had some vanilla ice cream.
The pairing of dulce de leche and pear in a crepe was wonderful.
The second item I tried today was the spicy (chili) hot chocolate. A friend ordered it but after a few sips she decided it was not for her. She found it a little too spicy. I gladly volunteered myself to help her out on it and after drinking it, I do agree with her that it was a bit too spicy. The chocolate taste was also not as rich as compared to Soma's spicy hot chocolate.
In summary the crepes here, especially the ones with pears, which I've tried the two available on the menu are perfect.Listed in: Edwin's Crepe List

Chococrepe is looks like a cute bakery shop when you first walk in, but with seating and really good service in the back. I love the cute decor; turquoise with accents of brown and cute artwork. Turquoise is my favourite colour so it was an instant appeal for me.
I've never been a fan of savoury crepes, but Chococrepe has changed my mind after I tried their turkey crepe and chicken chipotle crepe. I went with a bunch of friends so we were able to share a few different types of crepe. I would recommend this place as a brunch place, but would also be good for lunch or dinner as their savoury crepes were tasty and filling. Chococrepe has changed my perception of crepes as a meal rather than just a snack or breakfast item. My only suggestion is to have more filling that is more evenly distributed.
Their basic banana berry crepe drizzled with chocolate hit just the right spot as well. We also tried their salted caramel brownie and triple chocolate brownie, which perfectly satisfies that chocolate craving. -

My friends and I accidentally stumbled in here after dinner as we wanted some place nice to just grab a drink and talk. What attracted my friend was the fact that they had hot chocolate and it looked bright and cozy, so we went in.
The décor is nice and bright with paintings on the walls. I really like the colour scheme that they chose as it was warm but still fun looking.
We originally just wanted drinks but the crepes sounded too delicious to pass up. I ordered the Berry Choco crepe as I only wanted a light dessert. It tasted amazing and all my friends loved it too. It was covered with strawberries and white chocolate drizzled on top (you have a choice of dark, milk or white chocolate). Some whip cream and a scoop of ice cream was on top as well. The Berry Choco cost $8.50 and it was an extra $2.00 to add ice cream. I thought it was worth it though. My friend ordered the Country, which is one of their buckwheat crepes. It had bacon, cheese and caramelized pears in it. When she cut it open, you could smell the bacon. I'm not a fan of buckwheat so I didn't try, but my friend liked it. My other friend ordered the Matcha Green Tea hot chocolate and that was so yummy.
The service was awesome, they always smile and look genuinely happy. We stayed there to talk for a while after our food was done and they did not try to kick us out. They kept replacing the bottle of water when they see we were running low. We also got a free plate of sample brownies, which were yummy as well.
Overall, we really liked this place and would like to come back. It is the perfect place to hang out with friends and talk. Plus they open late! -

My friends and I weren't excited about dessert options at Mavrik, so after dinner, we wandered around looking for somewhere to sit down for dessert. However most dessert places in the area, like Nadege or Dufflet or Dlish cupcakes, close early so we were stuck. Luckily, we stumbled upon this place which has just been open ~2 weeks. We were immediately drawn the the bright display of tarts and the cheery robin's egg blue and white decor. Our server was patient and sweet, and they have a survey that they encouraged us to fill out at the end. It seems that since they are just opening, they really value customer feedback.
We shared a strawberry and dark chocolate sauce crepe, which is served open-face instead of the usual folded version, with fresh whipped cream. Yummy and great for sharing! We all had to try their hot chocolate. This is hot chocolate taken to another level... No syrups or powders are used. It's all valrhona chocolate from France. You can customize your hot chocolate by choosing: 2% milk or cream, milk or dark chocolate, and flavour (e.g. vanilla, green tea white chocolate, chili, dulce de leche, mint...). At $5.99 per mug, it's steep, but it makes for a nice treat to savour slowly.
A welcome addition to the neighbourhood!Listed in: The Sweet Escape

Service was very slow and food was ok. I'd rather go to Cafe Crepe, that one never disappoints.

Chococrepe is great! I went there last night and the service was quick and the food delicious. I had a dolce pear crepe - it came with homemade custard on the side. The crepe options are way better and more imaginative than the crepe place at queen and john. I think I've found my new favourite crepe place.

My friend and I visited this place on a Saturday night around 9pm and the place was completely vacant. None the less, the decor looked decent and we were craving crepes. We ordered a dulce de leche (i think) with pears to share. The pears to my disappointment were not cooked, nor was it ripe we had to to forcibly cut it with our forks and nevermind the texture. This is definitely lack of attention to detail, if the fruit isn't ripe, don't serve it! Dessert crepes to me are not suppose to be hard and crunchy! it should be sweet, smooth, velvety, melt in my mouth sort of thing. So none the less big disappointment!

we were walking along queen west aimlessly looking for a spot to have a snack or light lunch.
being a group of 4 it was hard to come up with something where everyone will find something to satisfy his/her tastebuds. until we bumped into choco crepe=))
they have a very nice menu of sweet and savory crepes and yummy muffins (mmmmmmm salted caramel muffin!!!)
the choice of crepes is also very interesting - some of the variations I never saw before in other places (salted caramel crepe, cheddar cheese+honey crepe)
all of them are super yummy!
the background music selection also is very pleasurable and fits the atmosphere nicely.
the staff is very friendly and didn't get annoyed with our indecisiveness and generally slow process of choosing our dishes... =)
very satisfied and would definitely stop by again when in this area.
