Reviews of Eli's Espresso - Creperie Bretonne (Bakery)

Alex Hicks

Try the Cranbrie sandwich, it tastes like heaven on a sandwich. Been there twice now in the last 2 months and it's totally worth the drive from Halifax.

I have eaten a lot of crepes in various places around the globe. I went there with two other friends today. It was expensive for crepes, and we all agreed that they were by far the worst crepes we have ever had. Maybe other baked goods there are good....but none of us will be back as it put an awful taste in our mouth, literally.....unfortunately.

This was absolutely the best crepe I’ve ever had. The Nikos was perfect. I’ll be back when I’m in the area again!

Baillie Tompkins

I would avoid this place at all costs. The Service was AWFUL , the Woman serving us was extremely rude and literally threw our food at us. The coffee was weak and watery. The baked good are clearly from the superstore or Costco and stale. They also over charged us, and did not give us a receipt. The prices on the menu are not what we were charged. I would stay away from this place, definitely taking advantage of tourists.

The atmosphere is very inviting and warm. It's full of unique characteristics and local art with a hint of antique flare. The coffee (Kicking Horse) is delicious and the crepes are devine ! Portions were very plentiful and reasonably priced. You can certainly taste the love in each bite ! We will certainly be visiting again ????.

Angelica Frier

have frequented this establishment a number of times throughout the past year. Earlier during the spring when we visited we were greeted with excellent customer service excellent food and great coffee. So why only two stars? The last two times we visited the same friendly staff seem to be missing and we were greeted by an individual who seemed at best unhappy to be there and at worst annoyed they had to serve us. I haven’t been made to feel less welcome somewhere in quite some time. I am aware that the pandemic protocols in place May have played a part in frayed nerves perhaps. But I believe in giving the best customer service unless it’s warranted otherwise. I have also noted that on my last visit the crepe seemed to be less full of ingredients and smaller as well yet the price seem to stay the same which is on the higher end.

We paid 18 dollars for 2 plates of french toast that each only had 2 pieces on them. The french toast themselves had no cinnamon or anything else to add flavor on them. They barely gave us enough syrup to cover one piece. To add fruit to the french toast would of been 5 dollars each. It's super overpriced for what you get.

This is a lovely place. Eli and his wife have created a little space of beauty in Mahone Bay. Great food, peaceful vibe, well worth stopping by if you need some quietness. Thanks x

Darryl Wright

Brian Cottam

Eli's is a nice warm cozy comfortable spot with great food, I just love it here.

David Taylor

This is where you'll find the locals when the weather is nice. A fine selection of espresso drinks, croissants, and much more.

Colleen O'Neill

A wonderful community cafe... with terrific cappuccino!

Black Void

Great place.

Satisha MacDonald

I love this place, it's always a warm welcome with amazing service and wonderful coffee

Sharon Hallam

Delightful restaurant...the crepes were delicious...o ordered the brie cranberry apple..my friend ordered him and cheese with no onion. All crepes are made with buckwheat flour ...gluten free much healthier alternative to white flour. Great spot....and then we were handed a little surprise chocolate...sweet.

Really cool place. Although sometimes not the friendliest people but it adds to the charm.

R Dog

Nice place to sit (out front) and enjoy a cup of your favorite java, great in the afternoon as the sun is behind you giving you a nice shady and cooler place to rest.

Thomas M. Pryor

Great Food! GREAT Service!

James MacLean

For a place that has espresso as their name - their coffee is complete garbage. Burnt milk, terrible foam. Worse than Starbucks. Great baked goods tho!

Kyle Weagle

Fabulous food, would recommend if staying in mahone Bay.

Wendy Leblanc

Pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff Fruit garnish with toast was a yummy surprise Great dark roast coffee My first visit and l will come back

Fred Wilsenack

Highly recommended for the delicious authentic buckwheat crepes (quickly made and beautifully presented). Coffee, tea, and and a tasty blueberry cheesecake rounded out our meal. Service was efficient and friendly. Cost was in keeping with the town's tourist vibe. We'll be coming back.

Greg Welsh

Great stop,crepes were excellent.

Morley Ward

The scrambled eggs looked more like a pancake and no ketchup available. The coffee was good and it was hot.

Dan Walton

Great place to meet and eat. Inside or out.

Loraine Campbell

You order at counter. We had one sweet raspberry jam crepe and one brie apple crepe with one coffee $48 good but not filling

Andrea Crinion

Great, as always

Sammy Mendel

As mentioned in reviews below, the woman is quite remarkably unfriendly...

Greatly enjoyed a savoury crepe with a delicious coffee. Staff were friendly. The inside is clean and cozy as is the patio. Took home strawberry and rhubarb pie...heavenly. A definite to revisit!

Terri-lynn Colbert

Gary Hiltz

Inviting decor and excellent Cappuccino near post office and supermarket.

(Translated) Nice service, good coffee, good breakfast. WiFi available, pleasant sitting on the terrace. Antiks one door down. It's worth taking a look. (Original) Nette Bedienung, guter Kaffee, gutes Frühstück. WiFi vorhanden, angenehm sitzen auf Terrasse. Antiks gleich eine Tür weiter. Es lohnt sich reinzuschauen.

Maria Joudrey

The crepes are good but the coffee is very weak. However; the service was so poor I will never go back. This was my second time here and the girl at the front counter was pretty rude both times.

K. STUBBERT

Stopped in today, first time this season. Very hot day, my wife asked for small lemonade as was past practice ( regular size price less $1). Unbenounced to me ( I wasn't listening), the young woman behind the counter said OK to the small drink however, staring over her shoulder , was an older man who loudly said "No!" and stalked off to the back room. My wife paid for the regular drink size, plus a pastry and a drink for me. My wife didn't finish the drink and in one quick "No!" the gentleman (whom I believe is the owner) lost regular customers and others we will tell of her experience ... my wife is 71.

Charlii Lohnes

Beautiful interior and wonderful service. Crepes are so rich they are very satisfying.

Ana Dujakovic

Rude service and bad expensive food. I asked to go to the bathroom and for directions, and one lady did not bother explaining well at all, and then seemed irritated when I asked again. Lady at the front counter seemed like she was in a very bad mood. The crepe I got was absolutely terrible. I’m from NS and we are raised to be very polite, and I have NEVER sent back food before in my life at a restaurant establishment which I felt bad about. So I would avoid this place. They don’t know how to make crepes and don’t know how to provide food customer service, and the price was mind boggling.

(Translated) Excellent coffee! Warm welcome but food a little too expensive! But we're on the main street of Mahone Bay Nova Scotia (Original) Café excellent! Accueil chaleureux mais nourriture un peu trop dispendieuse! Mais on est sur la rue principale de Mahone Bay Nouvelle-Ecosse

Ed Schumacher

Costco bakery , muffins and pies 20 dollar crepes ... coffee was just allright pretentious and expensive .

Jane Ozon

From the moment you step on to the raised patio, you know there is thought here. Menus are available so you will be ready to order once inside. The interior is beautiful. . . .clean, welcoming. And the smells! Fresh fruit aromas, baked goods, coffee....ohmygoodness! Crepes are their business but I had an oat cake and hubby had blueberry cheesecake pie. . .both were superb. The lady that served us was very pleasant. We will be returning to sample the crepes for sure.

iain macgowan

Great coffee snd good foid

dennis williston

The crepes are amazing and very filling. Worth cost.

Jim Wallace

Nice place for coffee in downtown Mahone Bay. Good snacks.

Darlene Hart

Big servings, staff friendly

Sam Macphee

Crepes were alright but breakfast was not worth $60 for two crepes and two lattes. Seats were uncomfortable & interior was nothing special. Will not be returning

Tom Burt

Great coffee and great owners

Tom McCaughey

Great breakfast spot

Natasha Kent

Food was very expensive for 2 crepes and drinks $60. Filling for my crape was not heated all the way through.

Alex Boudreau

The cranbrini is an incredible sandwhich
