    Chez Elle is probably my favorite restaurant in the city! You’re greeted with a light, friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Themed with Paris in mind inside and out, this little eatery has a crepe to satiate anyone with just about any mood. Personally, my favorite is the Monsieur (chorizo and potato filled crepe topped with scrambled egg and a delectable gravy), but you can’t go wrong with any savory, breakfast, or sweet option. The staff are friendly and the restaurant is clean. It gets busy on the weekends, but the order line moves quick and food is always fresh and ready before you know it. Great for smaller gatherings of 6 or fewer on the weekends. 2-4 is ideal. Larger groups may have to split up or wait a bit to pull a few tables together

    Probably the best lobster bisque I have ever had. So creamy and the lobster was very tender. I had the acropolis crepe. It was pretty decent, but the crepe was over cooked and crisp, and the chicken was in large chunks. My partner had the patriot crepe. Good, but just consisted of raw fruit on the inside, with no other filling. I’d say go for the lobster bisque and you will not be disappointed!

    We had 2 crepes and coffees. I would highly recommend the coffee they were very creamy and delicious. We had a sweet crepe and a breakfast one the sweet one was better than the breakfast one. They were both good. Definitely want to back and try more of what they have to offer.

    I love Chez Elle Crêperie! I have been there twice now and can’t wait to go back! Their crêpes are divine. So beautifully presented and they taste amazing! The also have fantastic quiches if you like savory more than sweet. The staff was so friendly and sweet. Whenever we had a question, they were just perfect helping us out. I siento the first time with my family and then the next time I brought a friend because I was incredibly impressed. It is decorated so cutely. You can eat inside or outside. They also have smoothies and hot chocolate which are both so good! If you are ever in the Kansas City you must visit Chez Elle Crêperie and Coffeehouse!

    My first visit here. You order from a counter then grab a table. The food was presented beautifully. I'd definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere was magnificent 👌

    The coffee was awesome and I loved their London fog. Might be the best one I've had in the city so far. I had their citron crepe, wish it had a stronger taste of lemon, but the strawberries in it were delicious. My boyfriend had the Monsieur, a savory breakfast crepe and it looked amazing. I'm definitely coming back to get that next time!

    I've been coming here for several years now. I love the location, though, I wish there was a better parking situation. Depending on what time of day you come, however, parking typically isn't a problem. The crepes are fantastic. As they proclaim, their Lobster Bisque truly is the best in town. I also happen to thoroughly enjoy the French Onion Soup. Make a stop here and you'll be satisfied (but, perhaps, not full) with whatever you choose!

    I had a sweet crepe with chocolate mouse and ice cream. It really made my day, a great crepe. We came here on a Saturday morning and it was very busy because the food is delicious, so make a plan for parking and finding a table. The latter was pretty good but the crepe really shined!

    We got two savory crepes at Chez Elle; the bonjour and the monsieur. I ordered an iced coffee and added some cream. I can’t wait to come back and try some sweet flavored crepes. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

    Always amazing. Great crepes and hands down THE BEST lobster bisque in the KC metro. Favorite crepes are the bonjour (scrambled eggs, bacon and cheese) and the citron (lemon curd, fresh strawberries and a strawberry glaze.) Consistently good food, fast & friendly service, and gorgeous atmosphere. LOVE IT.

    Delicious!! I was surprised that the Au Chocolat was cold, but the chocolate mousse on it was one of the most delectable things I have ever tasted. Also got the Jambon, which was excellent. My husband got the Philly Cheesesteak, which had way too many onions, but that he still enjoyed, and the Pomme Tarte, which he absolutely devoured!

  • 4/5 Geeanna T. 5 months ago on Google
    I absolutely loved the Suisse crepe I got. It was delicious and perfect. We also got a dairy free crepe and neither of us liked it. Additionally, I didn't really care for the coffee.

    This is a welcoming estaishment with seating both indoor and outside, seating is open seating, where they have these elegant Paris inspired number holders. There are water stations through out that are self serve. They have breakfast, dessert and savory style crepes that range from classica to flavor combinations that will surely give your mouth a new flare for crepes. All the crepes are numbered so all you have to do at the" order here" area is explain your number. The cost is fair ranging from 9-12 per crepes. They have salads, soups and smoothies as well as some fresh baked goods If your in the area for a light snack. I got a couple of drinks the London fog was exquisite. 7.5 out of 10. A tea with a shot of expresso, really sweet. The brave, was absolutely amazing and our of the best expresso's I've had in kansas city. 9.8. I ordered 3 crepes. 1 breakfast crepe and 2 dessert crepes. The breakfast crepe was my fav it was bacon, egg, and maple. A 9 out of 10. The patriots is supposed to be strawberries, bananas and blueberries..topped with crme and both a vanilla and raspberry sauce. There was zero strawberries and you could tell that it was missing. 2 out of 10, I was extreamly disappointed in this error on their part. I asked the server host to recomend another dessert crepe I let her know I was not a huge fan of chocolate..what does she do she suggest the most chocolate item on the menu. Au chocolate. Choclate crepe with chocolate creme topped with raspberry sauce and chocolate sauce a chocolate overhaul again not for me 1 out of 10 my taste buds may differ from yours.

    Updates: visited this place a week later because it has a check-in offer (25% off for the 1st crepe) on Yelp. And this time I went early before 11am. The quality of service is much much better than the super busy rush hour in holiday. The food quality is much better as well. Sincerely recommend going to here earlier or later than the rush hour. And if there is a long line, go somewhere else and try this place the next time. I found this restaurant on Google with more than 4.5 review yet it’s not aligned with Yelp review, which has only 4. I was curious about this restaurant and finally visit today. This is holiday lunchtime, the restaurant is super busy. Parking is ok, and the order was actually not bad. I waited in line around 10 min before my order was taken. I got the Bonjour crepe, lobster bisque in a cup, and London fog latte. And after the order, I got a number for dine-in. There’s no rules to find yourself a table, just need to wait for the staff to clean the table then you can occupy the seats at your preferences (and availability). And the dine-in seats in three areas are actually plenty, even it was really busy, I could still find myself a table without a frown. Then it took about 40mins for my latte to be brought on the table, another 10 mins for my ordered meal. There was not really restaurant services but they require you to put the tip upfront. (Pure yourself water, find yourself seats). The food was good I have to admit. The crepe was the kind I would have again, but the cheap and disposable utensil definitely destroyed the “Paris” vibe, if that’s what they try to establish. The lobster bisque was also good but the bread (the texture is like the supermarket prepackaged bread) came with it also ruined the soup… either provide fresh bread or just no bread or other better quality alternatives. The London fog latter was good but not outstanding. Overall, I think this restaurant is a bit overrated on Google. But this is still a nice place to have crepe. ( maybe takeout or order online to enjoy the food in a more comfortable environment)

    Been here a few times and I love the atmosphere, décor & inviting staff . I ordered the mixed berry crepe with blueberries, strawberry, banana and cream cheese filling , this crepe was light + refreshing . I also ordered the savory Philly cheese steak crepe . Now that crepe was DELICIOUS. Normally I don’t go for savory crepes but I’m glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to try this one. I ordered the cappuccino & a bottle of cranberry juice . My cappuccino wasn’t very good , it lacked flavor , tasted like hot milky water so I opted to try a frappe . The mocha frappe was good . The cranberry juice was just a small bottle of ocean spray which they charge too much for ( it was like 4 dollars) , I noticed that a lot of people just get water instead. They have a self serve water station with plastic cups so that’s nice . The location & outside patio is honestly the best part ! You can sit on the patio, enjoy the breeze, and see locals biking/walking around as you enjoy a decadent crepe 🙂 A inviting and romantic atmosphere!

    First time visiting. The Gluten free crepes kinda taste like fresh waffle cones without the sweetness. Service was quick, parking on the street can be a challenge.

  • 3/5 Debra R. 1 year ago on Google
    My friend has eaten here several times and loves it so when I was visiting from out of state she knew she just had to bring me. I liked it okay, but I definitely would have enjoyed it much much more if I could sit down and order at my table rather than from the counter. I had the #24 Monsieur. The menus says the chorizo was spicy but there was nothing spicy about it. It was tasty but misleading. I also had the #15 Citron which was pretty good. The prices were definitely high for counter service and you had to get your own water.

    Amazing savory and sweet crepes. Phenomenal lobster bisque. Great service and atmosphere. Hands down, will go out of my way to eat here everytime I'm in the area.

  • 5/5 Jeremy S. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here in a Saturday morning, it was busy, but still able to find an open table to sit at. Ordering is via walk up and food is brought to your table. We ordered two savory crepes and a sweet one, in addition to the lobster bisque and lattes. They arent lying when they say the bisque is the best in KC, maybe better than anything outside Boston (or Seinfeld). Everything else was equally amazing and will definitely make sure to return when we’re in town.

    French-themed decor such a cozy atmosphere. Coffeehouse serves amazing lattes and mochas. The selection of savory crêpes is the best I ever have tried. Don’t miss out on this amazing Breakfast-Brunch spot

  • 5/5 Saul Antonio G. 2 years ago on Google
    I am a little biased when it comes to this place. I now live in Tulsa, but every-time I visit my family in KC (Multiple time a year) we come and eat here. And I must say that throughout the years the service has remained incredible and the quality of the food has only increased and become better. My wife and I got engaged here in 2014 and it is one of our favorite places. I recommend the Lobster Bisque and the Chile Verde Crepe, both of these options are delicious! The atmosphere in the restaurant is great also. Chez Elle is the perfect spot for having brunch with friends and family.

    Absolutely wonderful and a great variety of crepes and drinks in a creative french setting. My only complaint was the crepe I received for the chez elle was a tad overcooked but I would recommend it regardless.
