We had such a lovely experience! The food was absolutely delicious, I had a sweet crêpe dish and my husband opted for a more savory crêpe. Our waitress was kind and there was a very short wait from when we ordered to when we got our meals. The restaurant itself was very cute and had a nice, casual atmosphere. This was such a great way to end our Bellingham getaway!

Owner/Manager,
Please rethink your mandatory gratuity policy for takeout orders.
Your restaurant is one of our family favorites for savory crepes. Your other dishes are fantastic too. However, on our recent visit we decided to eat across the way in the park area instead of dine-in. We had a couple of dogs and the weather was nice so we wanted to eat outside. Our group was made up of seven family members and friends. After we had all ordered and everyone left I was shocked that I still had to pay a 20% gratuity even though we weren’t dining-in, which amounted to $30 more on the total cost. Why? If I had known, we could have divided up into our own little subgroups to avoid this fixed charge. It doesn’t seem right to charge that much due to the lack of service. On the receipt it says, “Table of 5 Gratuity”. Note that it literally says “Table”, which to me implies dining-in at a table where upon we would have benefited from your service. Does the gratuity policy apply for traditional takeout as well? I have neither experienced this anywhere or heard of this from anyone else. I hope you change it.

Absolutely amazing! I got the Turkish Çilbir and it was honestly the top breakfast I’ve ever had. The yogurt will shock you… in a good way.
We also got the breakfast pierogis and also so good! But the Çilbir was top notch!

My family and I stopped in for breakfast and had a lovely experience. We ordered a variety of food including both sweet and savory dishes and all agreed it was delicious. A couple of us also ordered the mulled wine, which was perfect alongside our breakfast. Our server was polite and fast, checking in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. All in all it was a great experience and we will be back again!

Our friends took us to Magdalena’s for breakfast and it immediately became one of our favorite restaurants. Truly excellent food. We don’t live in Bellingham and every time we come through town we now make a point of stopping here. Every dish we’ve tried has been good. (The #9, the #1 buckwheat crepe, the Turkish cilbir, and the daily soup are special favorites.) The food is filling without being heavy, and tastes fresh and flavorful. Magdalena herself is a dear, and she is attentive and caring to every customer. Her care shines through the food. Don’t miss this place.

Took a Saturday drive up to Fairhaven and found this little gem of a restaurant, Magdalena’s Creperie. Magdalena, the owner, was lovely. The food was delicious, full of flavor and textures. The homemade pierogi’s are a must try. The French press coffee served in a pretty cup also hit the spot.

This morning, my children and I went to the Iron Rooster bakery next door. My children decided to stop and order some crepes. I had purchased a latte next door before this decision. We sat down outside, while we were sitting they wrote a note on a paper and posted it on the door “NO OUTSIDE DRINKS PLEASE!” and they were angry with me. It was a very unpleasant experience on a beautiful Saturday morning. I think it would be a good idea to let go of that when you have costumers at a restaurant. This isn’t something I would normally do but the situation was unique since we had not planned to come to the restaurant. If I were them I would have let this go. I’m not sure what the purpose of the note was and I wonder if they will take it down once we leave.

Delicious. Perhaps order using the number system provided next to each selection on the menu otherwise, as I did, you might experience a dish you didn’t expect. After reviewing the menu again there are three Italian crepes very similarly worded and unduly repetitious for waitstaff to decipher customer intent. The brie and prosciutto apple honey salad crepe is delicious and lighter than the other Italian crepes but next door is a bakery that more than made up for any resultant hunger pangs. If you order from the pierogi menu you will definitely be content with portion though the crispy fresh and perfectly cooked delights are available for take home as well.

Awesome, awesome place! I went through the menu yesterday and found many great options of European food and healthy options overall. It’s pretty hard to find options for gluten-free crepes for people with gluten intolerance or just wanting a healthier type of the dish. We were happy to see borscht in the menu, and your coffee cups are awesome, remind us of Slavic culture. As well as sittings / atmosphere – it’s cozy and comfortable to spend time at your place, we did not want to leave 🙂
Thank you for everything! It’s easy to see how much love and attention you’ve put into this place.

The crepe portion seemed a tad small for the price but DANG was it good! The ricotta crepes with lavender blueberry compote, berries, and marscarpone cream cheese was delicious. My partner ordered the Porto sandwich and it was amazing. The chimichurri on it was so good. Bread was perfectly toasted and great quality. Salad could have used some more vinaigrette but that’s ok.
