Little Crepe Cafe
102 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Cambridge, this proudly Black-owned café has cultivated something rare: a genuine neighborhood gathering spot where crepes are made with care and the owners actively build community through events like chess nights. The slow-paced rhythm is intentional—don't expect to rush through your meal, but you'll find yourself settling in with fresh squeezed orange juice and crepes (both sweet and savory) in a charming, welcoming atmosphere that makes regulars and newcomers alike feel at home. It's the kind of place where the kindness of the staff and quality of the food matter more than speed, perfect for laptop work, lingering conversations, or just soaking in the comfortable vibe.”

The Little Crepe Cafe is a neighborhood within a neighborhood. Warm and welcoming, the crepes are delicious, and it is a fun gathering place. The owners have created a community, with chess nights on Wednesdays and open mic poetry on Fridays, that is unique in all of Cambridge. Every time I am nearby I think about trying a new restaurant, but The Little Crepe Cafe draws me back in. A sweet moment of Paris when in Boston.
Kind people making good food. Don’t stop in for a quick bite — food takes a long time. But it’s relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the wait on a nice day. Sweet crepes are just as expected
Absolutely LOVE little crepe cafe! What a hidden gem in a sweet neighborhood. There is plenty of seating, a comfortable atmosphere, quick service, delicious crepes, fresh squeezed orange juice, and absolutely DELIGHTFUL staff! Such a fan of this place.
Such a charming café, and proudly Black owned! The staff were incredibly welcoming, creating a warm and friendly vibe that made us feel right at home. The menu features both savory and sweet crepes, all generously portioned. I was almost too full to finish mine, definitely a great value! They also offer a nice selection of teas and coffees, with something for everyone. We visited during a weekday lunch and found it to be peaceful and quiet. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing perfect for a midday break. If you’re looking for delicious crepes and a cozy spot to unwind, this place is definitely worth a visit!
The restaurant has a great aesthetic and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. However, it was clearly understaffed during our visit. We came around noon for brunch and ended up waiting nearly 40 minutes for our food. As for the taste, the food was was less than impressive- nothing particularly outstanding.
