Reviews for Fontaine Caffe & Creperie in Alexandria, VA

I was not expecting this amazing experience when I walked into this Cafe. John, the batista, roasts his own coffee, and his... passion for coffee makes this a very fun place to learn about what you're drinking. This was one of the best cups if coffee I'veever had. We also had the quiche of the day and the Norwegian crepe. Both were excellent and served with a healthy serving offresh greens with a tasty dressing. We will definitely be back!! Read more

Lovely spot with nice crepes and friendly staff. Visited twice while I was in town. Enjoyed the crepe with roasted chicken and... Brie and the Moroccan one. Decent lattes, too: Read more

The slogan is accurate. Locals do eat here. Because it's amazing and the crepes are amazing. It's not a secret why this place is... a local favorite, and I love coming here at any time of day. Read more

The food is good which makes the fact that the service is terrible and the management is dishonest a disappointment. First, they... charge a 10% "Restaurant Charge", which is just a way to increase prices but not show it on the menu. Second, they count infantstowards your party size, so they can get you to 6 people and charge you the 20% gratuity. Which is especially frustratingbecause the service was so terrible when we were here, they would have been given a lot less than that. We waited almost 20minutes to receive water, and saw the waiter exactly twice the whole dinner (the second time he was dropping off the check). Ifyou ask any of the other staff for something, or for the waiter, they'll say they will be right out, and then nothing. Therestaurant was not busy, two sections were completely empty. Like I said at the top, the food was good, but definitely not worthdealing with all of the bad service and shenanigans. Definitely won't be coming back again. Read more

Fantastic place to eat brunch. The crepes (both savory and sweet) are incredible and highly recommend coming here. It?s off of... the main street (King Street) so the environment is quieter. Read more

What a perfect combination; a charming old world French Cafe in the heart of Old Town Alexandria! Sitting on the brick sidewalk... at bistro tables, enjoying crepes, quiche, coffee and conversation. This is the good life! Everything we had was delicious andthe service was warm and friendly. Thank you Kali! Thank you Fontaine Caffe. Read more

Delicious crepes! I had the Alexandrian and a Nutella crepe on a busy Saturday morning. Seating was available inside and... outside. Service was fast and attentive. Presentation of the food was nice, except for serving the crepes on chipped plates.That seems like it should be some kind of violation. Read more

Amazing, my first review has been deleted!! Just as many have also posted, mediocre food and service. My exorbitantly priced... Bellini came out flat, the server rarely came back to check on us, and there was only one other party in the room. Crab cakeconsisted of mushy filler and no crab. The petty additional service taxes at the end, combined with the paid parking outside maynot prevent people from dining once, but it will certainly keep the five people in our party from ever coming back.
