Review from Precilla C.
Scarborough, ON
It's official... I'm addicted to these crepes!!!
I visited the Yorkville location a few weeks ago, and ever since then, I haven't been able to get these crepes off my mind! They are so addictive!!!
Seating is even more limited in this location- only 3 tables for 2. Luckily, if you're set to dine in, people move in and out quickly so it's not a long wait.
Last time, I absolutely fell in love with the Parisienne. But this time I wanted to try something new. I opted for the Tova, which features smoked salmon, sour cream, threads of red onion and filaments of dill. The crepe came out piping hot and was absolutely delicious! The dill was really wonderful and was a great compliment to the smoked salmon However, I still prefered the Parisienne more, so next time I'll stick to that.
My boyfriend wanted something sweet, so he went with a folded tartinade crepe with bananas. I noticed that the sweet crepes are made crispier than the savoury versions, but I believe this is intentional. The crispy crepe was really delicious with the homemade nutella, and I couldn't stop myself from stealing many bites!
We also had a bottle of their famous drink, the Limonana. We got the drink cold, but the staff let us sample a tiny glass of it hot. I actually liked it better when it was hot, so next time I'll be sure to have it heated up.
I will be sure to come back very soon to have these crepes again. This place makes me want to move downtown! -

CaG makes the best crepes in Toronto. I love their savory crepes which are perfect to eat while you stroll down the annex. They make all of their crepes to order as it should be, -none of that unacceptable ready-made stack o' crepes waiting to be topped. As with their Yorkville location, this one also has A+ service.
For tourists (especially Americans), Crepes a GoGo is a must-try.
I recommend their lemonade, I finally got to try it at this location.Listed in: April Challenge: The Underdog

No doubt that crepes here are the best you'll ever have, in Toronto anyway.
An having a second location didn't seem to take a toll on quality at all.
The menu is the same and I have the same dilemma trying to choose one.
My favourites include Veronique and the Big Ben with Extra (scrambled egg). I havent had this in a while and not sure of they still do it.
I prefer the regular crepe to the rolled up one. Not sure why.
The staff is friendly and it's a requirement they speak French. It's interesting that almost everyone thy comes in also speaks perfect French. Makes me feel like I had to bring out the Francais as well. I mean what other restaurant an make you feel like that !!
I love that French is Canada's 2nd language and so many people speak it.
Off topic any how. If you're in the area, there's no where else to go.
Their price point is a bit high though. On average $9 for a good crepe. I'd pay it, but not every day. It totally worth it. -

I have literally been walking by this place every day for the last two months, waiting for it to open. There was a bit of a false alarm about four weeks ago, when staff set up a Limonana stand outside and gave out free samples along with Limonana coupons for when the new location opened. I asked when they were opening and they said next week. Needless to say, I was very disappointed when this turned out not to be the case!
Walking by today, I noted that this place still wasn't open (at 8am and again at about 11am), however, later in the day, my boyfriend texted to let me know they had opened their doors. The trousers-purse-keys routine has never been executed so fast!
The staff here are lovely -- we were greeted with a friendly 'bonjour!' by the guy behind the cash and after a bit of Facebook stalkery, I have determined that Veronique, the general manager from the other Crepes a GoGo spot, was the one manning the stove. The guy handed us a menu right away and waited patiently while we mulled over the options. Having not been to their Yorkville location, I don't know if the menu is the same, but one assumes it is. I went for the Festival, which is cinnamon, sugar and strawberries, while my boyfriend got another option (the name of which escapes me!) that subbed in bananas in place of the strawberries.
I'm going to start by saying the fruit was fresh and the crepe itself was delicious. I've had a lot of crepes and these ones are the business. My boyfriend loved his combination because the crepes weren't in the least bit greasy or oily. I, on the other hand, would have liked a little more oil/grease/moisture. Not in the crepe, but something to help the whole dish down a little easier. The strawberries were very fresh and sliced very neatly, so they weren't providing a lot of moisture outside of their own function as tasty fresh fruit, and as someone who usually goes the butter/sugar/lemon juice route with crepes, there was a lot more chewing than I'm used to. However, I feel it's important to stress that it wasn't the crepes themselves that were dry, just my choice of filling didn't provide enough crepe lube. I definitely want to try another combination with a different filling.
While eating my crepe, I overheard another customer ask about opening hours. Verionique responded that she wasn't officially open until Monday. When the girl asked about opening hours for when they're officially open, she said "Probably 8-10..." It doesn't sound like it's set in stone yet, but I'm hoping it is. I'd love to hit this place up after dinner some night. Especially with the cold setting in. They had a pretty fancy looking coffee machine behind the counter that I'm dying to take for a test drive, too.
Four stars because I'm reserving the fifth for my next visit. I'm going to order something that's a little bit ... goopier and see if it matches up. It was the only fault that I could find today, so let's hope a change in order eliminates it. -

Brand new Crepes a GoGo opened up right at the corner of Bloor and Spadina. I am excited!
Limited seating inside... with only 3 tables for 2, maybe some patio seating, but it wouldn't be available till spring! With no table services, this location is more like a takeout place.
2 staffs working this evening: one cooking and one taking my order. My
Tartinade ($6.00) was ready to eat in merely a few minutes since I were the only one there....
Fresh, piping hot, soft, chewy, tasty and smell so good...........
Oh! Can I have another one?! -

Just like the first location, I really can't write anything more positive about this place without sounding like a crazy person. The ownership is the same, the food is the same, even the decore is the same.
The restaurant is smaller and they do not offer table service at this location. That's not missed considering the vastly different demographic of this area. At the motherhship in yorkville, you want to go hang out to be seen where as here you're just grabbing a bite and dashing off to class, or to work, or to whatever.
They do have a bit of patio space corralled in by the lovely square steel bolted-to-the-concrete railings, so this would be a great place to people-watch when spring has sprung.
