The best crepes ever! 8th May 2009

0 found this helpful

I have been a regular customer at the Hampstead Creperie, as it is known locally, since I moved to the Hampstead area in 1991. I have never been disappointed. The crepes are always crispy and tasty and are excellent value for money. Where else could you get a freshly prepared meal of such quality for under a fiver?
On sunny days, the gregarious, good natured, huge queue is part of the Hampstead vibe. However, I must confess I usually take my children there dead on noon to beat the rush.
This is easily the best take away food in London.

La Creperie de Hampstead? 29th August 2008

Well, I have never heard anyone call it that, but this, and the branch in South Kensington are two of the best places for crepes I've ever been to. While you can actually sit down in the South Kensington branch, I prefer the Hampstead kiosk, because to be honest, the crepes are perfect to pick up as a quick snack when you're hanging out nearby. A wide range of both savoury and sweet crepes, so it's perfect for whatever mood you're in. Somebody said the service isn't that great, but it doesn't really matter, because you're only there for a couple of minutes anyway. Highly recommended!

La Crêperie de Hampstead is a special place and the crepes are nicebut be prepared for the 'soup Nazi' experience... The staff there is working in a sweatshop conditions and it is no wonder that they don't have patient to customers... I prefer the South Kensington branch which is bigger and have the same quality of crepes.

This is a lovely little creperie. When I am in the area I like to pop by for a crepe. The savoury ones have not impressed me much but I love the sweet one with bananas, white and milk chocolate and nuts. Sure to satisfy my sweet tooth!

It is a local thing... the long queue...
it is a small stall and the rhythm is slow.
The crepe itself is good but not great-
this is the only crepe around so if you want crepe- this is the place :)
They have another branch in south Kensington as well.

Great location, but poor crepes 17th January 2007

I admit to buying crepes here when I'm in the area but really, they're not that good, and each time it's been a disappointment. It's a 'tourist' trap and should be avoided. Crepes are stodgy and soggy, fillings aren't good quality.

This little kiosk tucked away in a street corner of Hampstead, is manned all year round by two brave French people, and has been running for over a decade apparently. It undoutedlouy generates the best crepes in the whole of London. Judge a place by its queue not by its size. Well this one can extend all the way to Hampstead Heath! Luckily for the hungry (or gluttonous) amongst you, it has a fast turnaround.

Great Crepes 14th August 2006

I love the idea of a restaurant in a kiosk. Maybe because it reminds me of the way things are done in West Africa. La Creperie de Hampstead is run by friendly Parisians who, if I remember correctly, work every day of the year bar one. Not far from Hampstead tube station, there is always a queue of people lining up for either savoury or sweet crepes. I don't know how they manage to work in that tiny kiosk all day but it only took one taste of a crepe for me to understand why they are so popular. Good for a snack after shopping or drinking nearby.
