Yesterday, Phoenixville's newest cafe opened. La Crêperie Café Bis, located at the corner of Bridge and Gay Streets at the base of the Gay St. Bridge, opened its doors at 11am. As you can probably guess by its name, La Crêperie features both sweet and savory crêpes which, owner Marietou Fanny says, are made with only fresh ingredients. Fanny also owns a restaurant in Center City in Philadelphia called La Crêperie Café, which has been open for nine years.
La Crêperie is open seven days a week. Hours are Monday-Friday from 11am-10pm, Saturday 11am-11pm and Sunday from 10am-7pm.
Best of luck to Marietou and her staff!

Comments
I was disappointed with the service. I sat at the counter and waitresses/waiter passed by me multiple times. No one seemed to be responsible for the counter, and no one took the initiative.
The crepe seemd to take forever to arrive though there were less than 15 people at the tables. I'll chalk that up to being new and needing to get their team to flow together.
What was most disappointing was the crepe itself. The creperie on Penn's campus has twice the filling in their entree at half the price. For $14 one would like more than a slice of turkey cold cuts in the filling.
I may return to try the dessert crepes, which were more reasonably priced.
I must say the iced tea was fabulous, but again it was $1.75 for about six ounces, and I'm sure no one was refilling glasses for free.
Can anyone recommend something to try there?
I went today like I said I was going to in yesterdays comment. It was eventful. When we first got there the girl that sat us, asked us to sit at a table that the peoples chairs on either side were right up against the chairs that we were supposed to sit in. I asked if we could sit at the table across on the other side, and the girl said the table was broken. We then sat at another table that kept rocking back and forth. We were going to put something under the table leg and here there was already a bunch of napkins under it. We ordered our food. It was OK, once it got there. We waited about one half hour for it. One of the guests I was with asked for coffee with her meal and they never brought it. She offered to bring it later, my guest said no. I asked for another soda and after about 20 mins I had another waitress get it. My tomato's were almost white and very hard. The Quiche that I had was dry. The dressing on the romain lettuce was very salty. My other two guests liked their food. We had 3 sodas, tomato appetizer, 2 Quiche slices and a crepes meal and it cost us 50.00 dollars. I may go again once they get the bugs out. We will wait and see what other comments appear. I would give it 2 stars out of 5.
We would definitely go back as, like I said, the food was delicious and everyone deserves a second chance but the whole experience was very shocking and won't soon be forgotten.
I thought the prices were a little steep though. Lunch for 4 averaged out to $18 a piece, for just 1 crepe each and a soft drink. I know I could eat for less at other places in town.
The building is beautiful and the crepes are outstanding though, so I will definitely go back.
With that, your statement about some individuals who not having left the United States is untrue in my case as well as more for less. Great you had great service, I for one did not and I'm not someone who is overweight trying to get a deal on food.
about Black Lab Bistro earlier?
The food unfortunately was tasteless but salty if you can
imagine that combo.I have payed
less for a Salmon Luncheon at the Black Lab than I payed for a salty
ham and Mushroom crepe and for the
dieting gentleman earlier crepes
are carbs.What are you thinking?
I hope that you understand there is a thing called an opinion. People will give them, good or bad. I gave a good and bad opinion. The women who owns the shop knows what she is doing, due to the fact that she has another establishment that has been open for about 8 years. I think she needs to know what the bugs were and are in her place. Had she come to our table I would have told her what are issues were. I can tell in your writing that you are a little upset with the opinions of others. By the way, you weren't the waitress that forgot our coffee, were you?
She and I went there the opening weekend, and we're in line with the rickety table/slow service comments with her adding how she hated being charged $3 for a lukewarm Sanka that wasn't refilled. For us, the service was so slow we went across the street to get desert at the Cafe Artisan (which, to me, is a gem of a place).
Prices aside, at this point she and I would be more willing to go to Black Lab than risk La Creperie again. Yes, Black Lab ain't cheap in its current incarnation, but the food and service are always top-rate and the tables are solidly grounded.
I was your "generally useless" waiter. Now, I did NOT ill-inform you about the ingredients in your kids' food. You pointed at "La Marginale" on the menu, and said, "I'll have the Margherita."
After it arrived, you complained that it was "too spicy" for your kids... that it had peppers in it.
Had you read the menu instead of arguing with your wife over quiche, you would have, in fact, read that it had pepper in it.
Don't blame me for your inability to read.
Thanks for the $3 tip.
They were green peppers.
Seriously... "too spicy"?
Be real now.
earned money for a product that is far below par you like to warn others about it.Don't you?
Tonight, they were fine!
As most of the Bridge Street restaurants are during the week, The Creperie was pretty slow tonight. I walked around to the empty tables around the room, and, to my surprise, none of them wobbled! I asked my waiter about it, and he said that they had spent all day working on them, finally getting them so they don't rock.
As for the food, it was delicious as usual. I had the Paysanne, which was goat cheese, leeks, mushrooms, and basil. It was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing.
The wait staff was friendly and both of them worked wonderfully together. The waiter for our table really impressed me by having the entire menu memorized! There have to be at least 80 different things on the menu, and he was able to name something if I described it. It was truly impressive.
I highly recommend that you go check this place out. As you may or may not know, the place is very new; barely a month old. As they owner, cooks and servers start getting into the swing of things, I believe it can only get better. As for all the lame reviews on here, I have nothing bad to say. For the pretty large-sized crepes, prices were fine!
5/5 stars. Go and check it out! Give these people a chance with YOUR OWN opinion... not anyone else's!
What a wonderful addition to Phoenixville !!
We will return again even though the service was so slow.
The food is excellent. There is a South of France feel to the place. I think when the owner gets her act together, the place will be very successful. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed!!!!
You guys are not going to believe this one! Well after my not so great experience the first time around. I thought today we would try it again. We get to the door at the Creperie and it says that they open at 11am. READY FOR THIS.... WE COULDN'T GET IN!!!!!!! For some reason the door was locked, the lights were on, we did not see a single soul inside. What in the @#$% is going on here. We had sushi instead. I am done. Maybe they saw me coming a mile away and said quick lock the door!
Only problems:
No papertowels in bathroom but loved the European unisex potties.
great idea. I just grabbed a big stack of napkins and put them in there.
Waited over 30 minutes for dessert.
They had 15 people waiting to be seated when we left at 7:30 and not enough people to deal with it quickly.
In a nutshell, they need more waitstaff period. Easy to get. The people they have are great (the heavily tattooed hostess is not friendly) and I feel sure that they will get more.
Also, they don't recycle at all, so take your wine bottles home with you and save the planet!
We'll go back for sure.
All I wanted was good service...
You know.... the thing you pay for when you go out to a restaurant, along with good food of course. I tried a second time, I couldn't get in. It must have been a sign.
I for one enjoyed this restaurant immensely. Phoenixville should be oh-so-pleased that the owner decided to give it a shot here. Our towns needs more places like this, and Majolica's, and Hipster, and Romantic Jewelry. Great quality food! My dessert crepe was so yummy. The ambience is absolutely charming. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable. I had no problem with quantity of filling -- thought it was just right. Menu was clear. $3.00 for coffee is a bit high. Look forward to going back again and again to try lots of new stuff!!
I went to the creperie cafe le autre nuit and it was tres bien. no really. the food was made quickly, i know because it was hot when it came out. Our bubbly blonde waitress was a good time. The other waitress on duty, the cute Italian chick with dark hair was more than willing to assist our table as well, just lending a helpful, but professional hand.
So to anyone to has a problem with the creperie...
baisez-vous
expensive is o.k,overpriced is annoying.3.50 for a tiny glass of weak tea?3.00 for average coffee?
no sides or garnish or any presentation whatsoever.
I have been back several times and brought friends. We've all enjoyed the food. The service is not 5-star but then, c'mon people, give them a break. They are young. They're learning. Why are people being so harsh. As another person said, well-intentioned. I think the food makes it worth it and to those of you who say there's not enough in the crepes - sheeze, you don't NEED more than that. If you want more for your money, go to McDonalds or Wendy's.
