Crêpes de Luxe Cafe
309 E College St #1, Iowa City, IA
Crema's Take
“Tucked near the Englert Theater in Iowa City, Crêpes de Luxe Cafe crafts made-to-order crepes and omelets with the kind of care that's earned them a devoted following—think homemade pesto, fresh ingredients, and crepes like L'Océan and Lyon that locals swear are unmatched in the Midwest. The warmth here goes beyond the coffee; staff genuinely check in on you while you linger, making it the kind of place where a quick dessert run before a show easily turns into planning your next visit. Their specialty drinks and breakfast menu, paired with an atmosphere built for meaningful meetings and slow mornings, create something genuinely special in a college town that clearly knows the difference.”

Went here for the first time after dinner. The place is very warm and welcoming! The crepe was delicious and someone came to check in on us to make sure everything was good as well! I had the monkey treat and will definitely come back to try their other crepes!
I highly recommend trying Crêpes de Luxe Café. I have had a number of items on the menu and I’ve enjoyed every last one! They are made fresh to order and the homemade pesto is exquisite! So is the homemade whipped cream! It’s such a cute cozy atmosphere. All of the staff are so nice, friendly, and helpful! One of the best places in Iowa City! 10/10 every visit!
Tried this place for quick dessert before heading to the Englert theater for a concert which is close by. We tried the Valentine & Paris Crepes,which were fantastic. Definitely will come back and try their savory items next time.
You'll find no better crépe or omelette in the Midwest! Whether you live in town or are passing through DO NOT pass by without stopping in. I guarantee your taste buds have never experienced this mysterious delight! Everything you order from coffee to crépes are meticulously made and the presentation is amazing!
Amazing food. The crepe we ordered was L’ocean and Lyon. Both are just fantastic. The coffeee seems a bit pricey. But the taste and quantity was really worth it. I loved this place and probably will go back again.
