    Haven't had good crepes in such a long time, this really hit the spot! Family was friendly to us and it has a small, but cute place to sit. I even had to take one to go to snack on in the hotel

    Very nice had a real Cafe vibe that I appreciate it the Crepes or great and my latte was much better than I expected. For the price it was definitely a good deal. My grandchildren never ate crepes before and they loved it.

    Nice family but table was dirty. Food looked like it was thrown together and not tasty at all. It is night and day difference compared to the one in Hershey. A restaurant can be small and shabby but should not be dirty or bad cooking. Supposed to dine in but changed to take out. Presentation with food does matter and the taste as well.

    Wonderful crepes, absolutely fantastic. You can't go wrong with a savory or a sweet... or maybe split one of each! 😏 The owner was very kind and attentive. Outdoor seating available on a small tree lined street.

    terrible food this is their salad and ratatouille crep, which was extremely burnt. i had to write down on a piece of paper what i wanted to eat while him and his wife sat there eating. i had to wait for them to then come up and grab my order just to take forever to make a CREP and have it burned and a salad. Then he tried to over charge me 20$ then blamed it on the machine when i told him about it and asked to see my receipt. it was a terrible experience and to top it off no one there is french and they’ve never been to france, how nice.

    Very quaint little spot in downtown Harrisburg that sells wonderful crepes - both sweet and savory. Stopped in for breakfast and the food was wonderful! Enjoyed a delicious chai latte with my crepes. I love spots like this! Wonderful little family running this place. Very happy with found this gem during our visit.

    I liked the charming street seating and that the chef clearly cared about his craft. For lunch I had the #47 savory crepe and hot coffee. This was my first time eating a savory crepe- the food was okay, with a nice presentation, but I was expecting it to be more filling and it could have had more flavor. As someone who is environmentally conscious, I appreciated that they use real coffee mugs and silverware rather than disposables.

    Great coffee and food! Friendly people. Place is small but decorated nicely. Also I like to sip my coffee while sitting back and relaxing and I found myself able to do this. Highly recommend.

    Delicious! We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning and had a really nice time sitting outside eating crepes. They have a wide variety of flavors available (sweet and savory) as well as coffee, tea and hot chocolate.

    The food was very good. No doubt the crepes are delicious. But the atmosphere is entirely lacking. Although the workers (husband and wife?) were nice and food came out quickly, there isn't any service beyond that. He handed up a paper and told us to write what we wanted and walked away. Then our food was served on paper Dixie plates. Almost $17 before tip for 2 crepes only: a lemon crepe and a brie, egg, and tomato one. I'd go again for a quick snack but not specifically for a sit down breakfast again.

    We stopped here for breakfast and were incredibly happy with the crepes and coffee. The lemon crepe in particular was great!

  • 3/5 Tanja Z. 5 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    The owner is friendly. The chicken parm crepe was lacking. Very flat and the chicken pieces hard to chew and can tell chicken was microwaved. The Nutella and PB crepe was OK, but not much Nutella. I feel as the crepes themselves weren't over all bad, but I've more tasty ones other places.

    We stopped in for a hot coffee and snack on our way to the Farm Show. Little did we know just how excellent the crepe and coffee would be! Ordered a tomato/caper/brie/egg (#7) crepe, coffee latte and cafe micha. 20/10 would come back, and frequently (if I lived here!)

  • 5/5 Rich D. 2 years ago on Google
    Stumbled upon this cute little spot behind the Hilton. Crepes made to order. Breakfast, lunch or dinner. So many choices for meat and non-meat eaters. Sweet or savory. Good coffee and latte selection. Sweet couple run the place. Indoor and outdoor seating. So much goodness coming out of this tiny space.

    Place is filthy! Open peanut butter/Nutella jars with flies everywhere. Floors and kitchen gross. Kids toy on cutting board. Crepes were too thick. Toppings=inside ingredients sparse. This place needs to be shut down for health reasons!!! Not sure who fluffed their reviews

  • 5/5 Benjamin M. 11 months ago on Google
    What a wonderful experience! The food was fresh, delicious and very good. They were also so kind as to bring out a courtesy crepe after my daughter spilled hers on the ground. Will definitely be back for more!

  • 5/5 Se V. 9 months ago on Google
    Foods delicious! I always get the Nutella crepes with strawberries and banana it’s so good 😊 The service is quick and friendly also! I advise everyone that loves crepes to stop here. It’s a must!

    Our family was in town for our niece's wedding this past weekend...six of us opted for some wonderful crepes here at Au Bon Lieu! By far, the best crepes we've had in a long time! They could even accommodate two of us with gluten free! Delicious! Highly recommend when in town!

  • 5/5 Jennifer D. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a really cute little place. The coffee is delicious. I enjoy the variety of crepes. It's the best place downtown on a sunday morning. I like to park on city island and take a walk to this place. The owners are so nice.

    This was a wonderful experience all around. The crêpes were the best I have ever had. My favorite was the Brie, cheese, tomato and egg crêpe. The owner was incredibly nice and the shop itself was very cute with additional outdoor seating.

    Easily the best cafe in the entirety of Harrisburg! Service is extremely quick, and can get your entire order completed in under 5 minutes. The owner is nothing short of a master of his craft, all the while being very friendly. The crepes can be either sweet with a variety of sweet fillings like lemon curd, milk chocolate, Belgian dark chocolate, or savory with a delicious variety of vegetables or breakfast staples like eggs or mushrooms. The prices are very reasonable for what you get as well, and you can easily get an entire filling breakfast plus a coffee for under $15. The French press coffee is a must-have. If you're a resident or just passing through and need a quick but filling breakfast, look no further!

    It was absolutely amazing! Me and my boyfriend and I split a Nutella and strawberry crepe, and it was so good. Honestly, it was a great childhood memory to revisit.
