Review from Amanda F.

I thought this was a really neat idea when I noticed this place one fine day during one of my rare visits to West. Ed. So I thought I would give it a try - well, sure glad I did!! Despite the not so positive reviews previous to mine I thought this place was WONDERFUL! Nice to have something in a food court that is not deep fried and is maybe just a little different. I tried the terryaki chicken crepe. They made it right in front of me which I thought was neat. It was delicious!! And just the right amount of food for me and I was starving at the time (mind you I am tiny and tend not to be able to ever finish regular food portions).
It would be nice to see a few more 'meal' type crepes on the menu (they are slightly limited) - it's mostly fruit/dessert type crepes. The staff there were really friendly which was awesome so I would definitely try this place again (and maybe I need to check out some of the other creperies around town mentioned in previous reviews!). -

I love crepes. Authentic crepes, so this place isn't much to write home about. I guess my hopes were too high for this place, considering it is a fast food joint at West Ed.
It's pricey for the quality you get, and you won't get full on just one either. Then again, ask yourself if you can eat more than one first.
The service is fast, but again, it's fast food. I paid nearly $7 for a single strawberry crepe, and needless to say, I was disappointed. I expected to be handed a fluffy crepe on a plate so I could eat it with a knife and fork, but when the girl handed me this contraption that looked like a funnel made out of dough, I was dumbfounded. What? Eat a crepe with my hands?? I'm pretty sure the French don't do it like that ...
So go crazy if you don't mind eating bland crepes burrito-style. But if you're holding out for the better stuff, I suggest The Creperie downtown. At least your bucks are worth the bites there. -

Just the thought of crepes makes my salivary glands stand up and sing the French national anthem. A rare form of Tourrette's, perhaps? Those culinary geniuses, who gave us the gift of crepes, soufflé, Croque Monsieurs (au gratin, of course!) and French fries dipped in mayonnaise, created something that's hard to reproduce. That's why Crepe Works is so devastatingly disappointing. My mouth was watering as the very un-French batter girl spread the mystery ingredients on the grill. It looked good, it smelled good, but it tasted.... mech. It was half-cold in the inside, the ham in my ham'n'cheese crepe was cheap and fatty. The fresh parmasen hadn't melted all the way through, so it was hard like rind, and the flavours just weren't those of the crepes I ate in France and never quite was able to forget. It's like different pancake batters: they all tend to look the same, but they don't all taste the same. Crepe Works, you should have got your recipe from the Frenchie's. I hear the Creperie on Whyte is awesome, though I've never been there. It' s also a little pricey apparently, but I'll have to try it and save that for another review.
