Crema's Take

Geppetto Cafe in Lawrenceville is a warm, inviting brunch destination where creative dishes like the Universe Favorite French toast and pistachio waffles shine alongside thoughtfully crafted drinks—from iced vanilla lattes to chai tea lattes. The cozy, book-lined space feels equally welcoming whether you're ducking in solo on a chilly day or bringing the whole family, and the care taken with fresh, quality ingredients in every plate makes it clear why this Butler Street spot stays packed even on weekday mornings.

Such a great spot in Lawrenceville! My husband got the iced vanilla latte with a pistachio waffle and I got a chai tea latte with the Universe Favorite French toast that was soooo delicious! I’ve been here one other time probably 5 years ago and it was also a great experience! Definitely stop in for breakfast if and when you are in the area.

We had brunch at Geppetto Café on Butler Street with my wife and baby, and it was absolutely incredible. This place is a must-visit. The food was outstanding — everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell they really care about quality. The coffee was just as impressive, perfectly made and a great complement to brunch. The Geppetto and Pinocchio theme throughout the café is such a cool and creative touch. It gives the space a warm, whimsical vibe that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere, amazing food, excellent coffee — we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

A delicious and wonderful experience! We ducked in to this warm breakfast spot on a chilly day and were welcomed by a warm place (in climate and vibe!). This is such a cute spot with books hanging from the ceiling and lots of fun little details to look at. The menu is extensive and highly customizable. The crepes are perfectly cooked and not too thin or too thick. We tried sweet and savory options and it was all delicious. The service staff were so kind and really go above and beyond. And wow does the food come out fast! Can’t wait to come back soon.

So this place is EXCELLENT! Food is delicious and you can tell they use quality fresh ingredients. We went for brunch on a Monday. We were surprised how busy it was on a weekday morning but my son who lives nearby said they’re always packed. Using the seating app is likely a must for weekends. The staff is pleasant and got our food out quick. We ordered a variety of things … Americano, Espresso, Iced pumpkin coffee, juice, “Cookie Monster” crepes, Croque madame French toast and a Turkey avocado BT panini. Sandwiches were served with a salad and the dressing was light and yummy. My only regret is I didn’t document the plates. We will be back soon!!! We’ve been back a couple times & remembered to document plates. Food is consistently good and staff is friendly and helpful.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the fruit was sweet and juicy, and the crepe was simply amazing — soft, rich, and delicious. The coffee was smooth and creamy, just the way I like it. Cozy atmosphere and friendly service — definitely coming back! ☕🥐🍓
