Crepe Bistro - Edit
I was excited about this place since Crepe Bistro offered many vegan options...and the fact that I love crepes. I went with a recommendation from the guy at the register (avocado crepe) and he talked me into adding tofu and vegan cheese. Honestly, this crepe tasted boring and I barely tasted (or saw) the vegan cheese. In fact, I was so overwhelmed with avocado that I had to remove most of it. The crepe itself was almost dry (not moist like most crepe) and tasted/looked more like a saltine cracker. As this crepe was just over $15, I can't say I think it was worth it.

Vegan crepes! - Edit
Have gotten crepes here at least 3 times and they were excellent every time - both the sweet and the savory ones. The vegan pesto is delicious and I recommend whichever crepe has it (the garden one?). Smoothies are excellent too and staff is super nice!

Great food! - Edit
I am very thankful Crepes Bistro has stayed open to provide excellent take-out food during this shelter-in-place. As a hospital nurse working long hours in a very stressful time, having healthy, tasty vegan food available has been a godsend. My favorite is the tofu scramble

Worth the drive - Edit
Really a breakfast place- vegetarian, although all items on the menu can be made vegan. Really enjoyed the pesto pasta (be sure to specify vegan) and berry smoothly. Note it is a small place so may be a tight fit if you have a big (6 or more) party.

Get the Royal Veggie with Baked Tofu!!!!! - Edit
This place never disappoints and has the best tahini dressing! Sometimes the wait is a bit long, and we have left before because the line is too long ( usually Saturdays or Sundays) but it's worth it if you have the time.
Read morePros: Great Food, Great Variety , Fresh Juices
Cons: Fries take a long time ( heating up the oil)

Pretty disappointed - Edit
This place is great if you’re a vegetarian, but major cuts get made to the dishes if they’re made vegan. The savory one we ordered had raw spinach, unmelted cheese and tomatoes- that’s it.... the sweet one was better, but there’s no whipped cream like the original. Bagel was bland and not worth $4. We also waited almost an hour- to be fair it was very busy, so maybe it’s not usually that bad. Skip this one

One of Our Four Go-Tos in the South Bay - Edit
We were THRILLED to learn about this place only 15 minutes away from home. You order from the counter and they bring you your food and bus your table. They offer savory and sweet crepes (which is only 1/3 of the menu) of which we've tried most. All of ours are made vegan and gluten-free; you pay more for the gluten-free crepe, and also for vegan cheese if you choose to replace the dairy. All have been delicious. We've also tried one Acai bowl (big YUM), the mint lemonade (very good) and chocolate chip cookie (the cookie was too rubbery and bland for our tastebuds). We are VERY GRATEFUL we have this option in the South Bay and will continue to support this family-owned business.
Read morePros: Flexible for the vegan, Mostly gluten-free options, Massive portions
Cons: Atmosphere is less comfortable and appealing

Pretty Bad - Edit
I was the only person inside and several employees looked at me, but didn’t acknowledge me for about a minute. I ordered a bagel sandwich and smoothie. It took 20 mins to get a bagel sandwich and smoothie! I was the only person in there, how is that possible. I finally got the food and the bagel was so dry and hard I couldn’t even swallow it without having to drink with it to mush it up. It was beyond dry and tasteless. I would never go back.

Will come again - Edit
My friend and I came straight here from the San Jose Airport. Parking was plenty and behind the bistro. I got the royal crepe while my friend got the garden crepe (pictured). It was good. Glad it wasn't salty! I also got some juice for later. Will come back again. I love the fact the crepes are vegan! 😊 ❤️ 🙏🏼

Decent, but not great - Edit
We ate here a couple of times. The portions are large, but the flavor combinations are not our favorite. The tofu scramble was among the most bland we've eaten. The royal veggie crepe was mediocre. The only dish we ate that we really enjoyed was a lentil soup of the day, and the smoothie was good too.

Great açaí bowl! - Edit
We came here for a quick snack, so I got an açaí bowl. It was yummy and refreshing. Now, I want to come back and try one of their vegan crepes! Their soups, salads, and tofu scramble are also vegan friendly. Such a nice little place!

So YUM! - Edit
After traveling to CA for work (in Fresno...was pretty much relegated to Chipotle every night)--so it was really great to stop at Crepe's Bistro the night before I flew home. I had the lentil soup, which was nicely flavored, and a Garden Crepe, vegan. The crepe was huge, and I could only finish half. The veggies were mostly fresh, so I would have added vegan cheese to make it a little heartier. I saved the other half for the plane ride. I also ordered a mint lemonade that was awesome, not too sweet. Before I left I decided to order a chocolate dessert crepe with vegan cream and caramel, which was out of this world delicious! I ate it the morning after, so it had time to soften and get really gooey good!
Read moreI was expecting some type of vegan-egg type of crepe, and was worried it would be flaxy...but it was much more like a dosa batter (I didn't verify that it was a dosa batter, but I'm pretty sure it was, since it was a little crispy on one side).
The atmosphere was super nice, very clean, and the staff was really sweet and friendly. If I lived in SJ, I'd be here pretty often!
Pros: Super tasty, good prices, Generous portions, Very clean space, easy parking
Cons: Not in my home town, lots of lentils

both vegan and veg healthy food - Edit
Unlike many of the other local veg restaurants, this is quality and healthy food. Unlike others, it is not salty and not fried.food. We had two kinds of crepes and they were both excellent. Their antioxidant smoothie was also very good.

Pros: both vegan and veg, low salt, not comfort fried food

Amazing Options - Edit
This place is awesome! It has so many vegan options and substitutes to choose from which made it hard to decide on what to eat!
Read moreI ended up getting the coconut oil, maple syrup and cinnamon crepe, it was super good, a little dry but it's what I expect from it being vegan, and the flavor totally made up for it.

OH...MY...GAWD!!!!! - Edit
My sister, who is omni, and I went here for her birthday. The crepes were humongous and so so good. she tasted mine and said it was really good and she would have ordered vegan cheese on hers! This goes on my top 10 San Jose vegan places, and I will go back. I liked the mint lemonade. Very refreshing. And we each got a muffin because it was my big sister's birthday. He's was a Russian tea cookie, not vegan. Mine was a HUGE choc chip, berry, nut muffin that we both liked very much. I would give this place 6 stars at least!
Read morePros: Great vegan options!
Cons: I can't find any!

It's in the name. :) - Edit
They really do have delicious crepes. The royal veggie crepe is one of my favorite vegan meals in the south bay (tied with Back A Yard's jerk tofu plate). Their orange juice is deliciously fresh squeezed and they have delicious vegetarian borsch. I love the enormous portions of these crepes (and they really are enormous) because it means I can eat half for one meal and save the second half for another meal. Yes, it still tastes great reheated!
