Very cute and cozy cafe with the most welcoming staff. We had the turkey avocado crepe, it was so delicious and she even added a few extra ingredients like feta, olives, and arugula. My dirty chai latte was made perfectly as well. Great prices and big portions. If you want to feel at home, this is the place. Thank you <3

A Hidden Gem in Astoria – Eli’s Café & Creperie I stumbled upon Eli’s Café & Creperie in Astoria and had one of the warmest, most heartwarming dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I ordered the Mediterranean crepe, and it was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. But what truly set this place apart was the care and kindness of the woman who served me. She asked if I wanted to add any toppings with the warmth and thoughtfulness of a mother making sure her child is well-fed — it genuinely made me feel at home. I wasn’t in the mood for coffee, and without hesitation, she offered to make me a custom smoothie with fruit and peanut butter — something that wasn’t even on the menu. That small, spontaneous gesture made all the difference. Eli’s is more than a café — it’s a cozy, welcoming spot where you’re treated like family. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for not just good food, but a genuine and personal touch.

This place is a HIDDEN GEM! I happened to see this place on my walk and stepped in. The owner is very nice and asked what I was in the mood for. Based on her recommendation, she made me a ham, cheese, and arugula crepe and it was PHENOMENAL!! It was light and flavorful and I ended up eating the whole thing. The chai tea is also really good, they don't use any pre made powder, everything is fresh and you can tell. This place has a very nice and comfortable vibe as well. I was able to peacefully sit inside and work on my computer. Really huge shoutout to the service, they even made me a hot sauce from scratch since they don't have any (yet). I really do recommend going to this place, local or not. Very enjoyable experience!

I was walking by, and saw these adorable little girls sitting in the window. Giggling as they enjoyed their drinks. I heard about this place and decided to check it out. I went inside and the first thing I saw, were two little boys sharing a crepe. I asked them what kind it was, and with their chocolate filled lips, they said a Nutella Kinder Bueno Crepe. Wow! I myself prefer savory Crepes. The owner Eli absolutely sparkles as she tends to her customers. So many regulars coming in & out, as she asked about their families. So warm & friendly. No wonder she has so many regulars. She informed me about some items from the Savory Crepe Menu. *The Mediterranean, Which is feta cheese, tomato, black olive spread & arugula. *Ham & Cheese with black olive spread Crepe. Which is the one I chose. It was spectacular, so was the Frappe I ordered. I had never ordered one before, and I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it. Highly recommend!

Excellent first time at this beautiful place. May God bless this business! It’s personally run by the owner, Eli, who provides outstanding customer service. The food is fresh and delicious, and the coffee is really good. The atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend! I have to say, we came because of the 5-star rating on Google Maps, but believe me, it deserves a 10
