    Ohhh! I love the crepes here! This was the first time I had come here to eat. They have many styles of crepes for you to try. Not only were the crepes amazing, but all the staff was also lovely too. The customer service was good. So, don't hesitate to try them if you're craving something sweet and delicious!

    Been here twice. Came around 11:30am for brunch and was seated immediately. However, the place did get crowded in 30 minutes. Their dessert crepes are amazing! They are served with ice cream and whipping cream. Almost all their savory crepes have pesto on them but they all taste really good! I loved that they accommodated modifications or additions. Their coffee was good as well!

    Great little spot. Casual location, upscale food. I got the house savory crepe. It was filling, but not heavy. Delicious with perfect portions. We will definitely be back!

    Went here for lunch at around 1 pm in the afternoon on a Sunday. The place was at 50% capacity. We ordered their Watermelon slushy, Latte coffee, Smoked Fish Sandwich, Spicy Veggie Crepe, Banana Chocolate crepe. The sandwich was decent and had a good filling of smoked fish. The Veggie crepe was so-so, just like the Banana Chocolate crepe. The 🍉 slushy was awesome. The Latte lacked coffee. When asked, they charged us extra for a coffee shot. Decent place all in all.

    Mother wanted something different for lunch so after Google search, Frodo Joe with its French Asian fusion items was agreed on. The option of savory or sweet crepes was wonderful and half of us chose either. Most of us finished our crepes and we agreed this could be worth returning to. Nice quick service from staff and ordering on a smart phone was available per table. Note: but only 4 stars because this business posts the sign 'we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone'

    Awesome spot, I used to frequent the San Lorenzo location because I lived in the area. I've only ever been to this location once before YEARS ago. The menu has gotten fancier, bigger in other words. They have this apple crisp crepe here thats pretty much a pie a la mode and it was really fricken good. A surprise to me was that they had a cocktail menu so of course I added 2 drinks to my personal drink menu. A Mai Tai and a Ruby. The Mai Tai was good, not to strong and if your familiar with Mai Tai's you'll enjoy it. I don't know if I've ever had a Ruby before but it's essentially a berry centric Mimosa and I do love Mimosas so no complaints. Service was quick in both getting us seated, ordered and delivered. Very friendly staff, outdoor or indoor seating available.

    I usually don’t write bad reviews but the food here was really no good. I ordered a spicy pesto crepe with steamed vegetables on the side, but it had no pesto! As you can see in the picture, the quality of veggies was really poor and there was a dead fly on the broccoli! I’m don’t get why this place is so highly rated.

    Found out about this crepe place while I was driving nearby and stopped for a quick bite. Ordered Banana chocolate crepe, it was early morning with only few customers, service was quick and dessert crepe was awesome & crispy fresh. Next time have to try Savory crepe. I would highly recommend this place for Crepe lovers

    My best friend and I came here for brunch on a Thursday, there were plenty of of tables available including outdoor seating. I ordered a classic crepe and an iced latte. The crepe was delicious, the latte was watered down. Service was a little off, our waitress seemed a little flustered or scattered, she asked for our orders at least 3 times because she failed to memorize them and questioned my best friends drink of choice multiple times. (We were wondering why she wasn't writing anything down)... it was just a little odd. Definitely recommend the food though!

    Excellent place to eat crepes are crispy and delicious with the flavors packed in , they have a online menu for you to order to the kitchen or there is a waiter that takes your order. Be aware weekends are very busy between 12-2pm

    Outdoor dining is pretty good. They have a remote on each table to press when ur ready for service. The service was fast and decent. We ordered veggie crepe, 3/5(Too much tomatoes) and Mozzarella and avocado Crepe which was 4/5.

    Bellini and crab+shrimp crepes were excellent. Don't forget to ask for spicy pesto sauce as a side

    Frodo Joe's Petit Cafe is a charming little coffee shop located in a quiet street corner. The interior is cozy and inviting, with comfortable seating and warm lighting. The menu is simple yet diverse, offering a range of classic coffee drinks and pastries. I ordered a cappuccino and was impressed by the skill of the barista, who created a perfectly foamy and balanced drink. The coffee was rich and flavorful, made with high-quality beans. The pastries on display looked tempting, but I decided to go for a classic croissant. It was flaky and buttery, with a crisp exterior and a soft, delicate interior. I appreciated the attention to detail at Frodo Joe's Petit Cafe, from the quality of the coffee to the presentation of the pastries. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a comfortable place to enjoy a great cup of coffee and a pastry. Whether you're in the mood for a quick coffee on the go or a leisurely brunch with friends, Frodo Joe's Petit Cafe is sure to delight. In conclusion, Frodo Joe's Petit Cafe is a hidden gem in the heart of the city, offering delicious coffee, pastries, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect spot for a quick pick-me-up or a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

    The crepes come in savory and sweet varieties and they have a combo where you can get both for a great value. The chai lattes is one of the best I've had in the Bay area.

  • 3/5 DanaCarey B. 1 year ago on Google
    I would actually eat here more often, except... when I ordered a crepe, they gave the WRONG TOPPING. When I went to ask for the correct one, they wanted to charge me!! I only had my cell, and found it annoying to put such a small charge on my card. 👎 service. I can go to Vitality Bowl a few doors down, and they're nicer. I will always go where my $ is appreciated... Option to sit in or outside. Decent for large groups.

    I had the Maui Hawaii crepe and a Carmel Latte. Everything was so good. The spicy sauce on my crepe was tasty to say the least and that latte was prepared with care from the taste of it. Not featured here was the dessert crepe I got, Apple Cinnamon,I got it to go but I recommend it eaten on site fresh prepped because it comes with ice cream and you can’t let that go to waste. I would definitely come again. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

    I have been here a couple times and wanted to share my experience. There are less and less places like this in Fremont so I appreciate their dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere, healthy food, and a clean environment. I like that you dont feel pressure to hurry up, its relaxing. You order when you are ready and enjoy your time. The food was simply made yet tasty.

    Great low key breakfast/brunch/lunch place with delicious food!! Portion sizes were perfect for the prize and crepes were loaded with protein and vegetables. The food wasn't too salty at all, just how I like it. I highly recommend it if you're in Freemont downtown area.

  • 5/5 Mike H. 2 years ago on Google
    The best crepes we've ever had. Personal preference: we're not into fusion food, so the Classic tasted the best and most balanced to us. Our son liked the Maui Hawaii. The Seafood was pretty good too. The crepes had the right thinness and crispiness. Special thanks to the ONE lady who made ALL the crepes during the entire lunch!

  • 5/5 Curious G. 2 years ago on Google
    We order $12 strawberry crepe and $6 mimosa. The crepe portion is big and fresh strawberry fillings is the most generous given portion I’ve ever seen. The crepe is super delicious! I’m definitely gonna go back again!
