23$ for a crepe is crazy, it should be illegal to make a French person pay that much for a crepe around Chandeleur. (Joke)
Lovely staff, lovely place. I took the Moroccan crepe (spinach/feta/mint) and was not particularly impressed but my friend took the parisien and really liked it. All crepes are gluten free and made from buckwheat, so more similar to the east atlantique Breton crepe than the typical Parisian crepe.
Nice cappuccino, definitely needs sugar for a sweet tooth like me.

It was a pleasant experience, the atmosphere was nice and welcoming.
The host and waiter were super friendly, super nice everyone was really nice.
The restaurant was tidy and clean. I had stained or smujed glass of water, didn’t like that.
Talking about the food: I ordered,
● Sultan:
Spicy lamb sausage, lentils, spinach s feta cheese topped w/ fresh tomatoes $ yogurt mint sauce. I will be hounst, the lamb needed more flavor, the lentils are not equally cooked and you can’t even taste the yogurt sauce.
There is alot of work to be done in this dish.
● Wild berry: dilecious.
Food quality was great, survise was really good and fast.
Would I come back? No, I would not.

Crêpes Fontaine is a charming gem in Old Town Alexandria. The crêpes are simply outstanding — light, perfectly golden, and filled with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Both the sweet and savory options are delicious, beautifully presented, and made with care. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a European café feel that makes you want to linger over your coffee. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, adding to the lovely experience. Whether you stop by for breakfast, brunch, or a mid-day treat, Crêpes Fontaine is a must-visit spot that feels like a little taste of Paris right in Old Town.

Went in on a Wednesday late breakfast, had the Tuscan Crepe, Wild Berry Crepe, Espresso Martini and a Chai Tea Martini. All the savory crepes are gluten free and you wouldn’t be able to tell, still has a great taste and texture. The Tuscan Crepe was delicious, reminded me of something my grandma would have made, Wild Berry Crepe was tasty, berries were perfect. While the food was great, the Martini’s were the stand out hits, best espresso martini I have ever had, Chai Tea Martini was equally as good. The employees were wonderful, great personalities, easy to chat with. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing food, friendly and fast service. We tried Pan roasted trout with parsley baby potatoes, Alsatian tartlet, and Just peachy crepe and loved it all! Indoor and outdoor seating. Full bar. Strongly recommended!

Wonderful experience. A great variety of menu choices, although a bit limited during Sunday brunch. Service was very good, but food took a while to come out. Then again, it was a busy Sunday morning.
Tables inside and outside of course; mostly full.
All 5 of us loved our food, and enjoys sampling everyone else’s food.
We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.

The Cafe is a cute hidden gem that had spectacular food and a lovely atmosphere. I am often asked why I did not offer five stars?
The answer is always the same, pricing. For a group of two kids and two adults having not had a single alcoholic beverage, the bill tipped, $140 at lunch. This is NYC pricing without having the luxuries of Midtown.
The meals we had were delicious, and the menu, while a little bloated, had a minor sense of organization. It was an attempt to be French while crumbling to the American-zation of the dishes.
My Ham and Swiss sandwich was well prepared and presented. My children enjoyed their crepes and fell in love with the home squeezed lemonade.
Service was quick, but a true French cafe always has a fresh pot of coffee brewing. It is a serious misstep to have customers wait for coffee. In Paris, no fresh coffee would mean no customers.
Finally, if you have a few extra dollars to spend, it is worth a try. Though if you’re a typical family watching their pennies, this isn’t for you.

My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch. She had a savory crepe while I had the quiche. Both were really great! It was packed, and we waited a bit but the food was worth it. The vibe, atmosphere was cozy but it’s a little cramped. I’d rather wait longer and see fewer tables. Overall, worth coming to though and we’ll visit again. It is pricey, though, so be prepared.

What a beautiful restaurant in the ever so quaint, Old Town Alexandria. We came for brunch on a Saturday morning, and were seated outdoors on a beautiful crisp sunny day.
The brunch menu is different to one which you would ordinarily find at a restaurant. Being that it is a French restaurant and Crêperie – the brunch menu was very on brand. The options varied from a wide variety of sweet and savoury crêpes, a breakfast bruschetta, smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, quiche du jour and much much more. Delicious, divine and delectable.
I had the savoury Sultan crêpe, and was really impressed with the full range of flavours from the spicy lamb sausage, lentils, spinach & feta cheese!!! Such a unique take on your usual ingredients in a crêpe, and literally an unforgettable meal!!
Sometimes having a table outside means that you can get forgotten, but this was far from the case in this instance. Our server was extremely attentive and also gave great recommendations for things to order when we were indecisive.

This place has the best warmed cider! It’s so delicious and comes with a cinnamon stick in it. Definitely would recommend coming here for crepes and other food as well!
Edit: came back two years later and the food was still amazing! Got a seat outside and it was perfect and does have some shade. I loved the Bellini to drink for brunch. The Washingtonian was so so so good. I could have eaten another one and even forgot to get a picture. The dessert ones were also good!
