My only regret about Cafe Marcel is that I didnt discover this amazing place earlier! Wow! Some of the best crepes Ive had. Absolutely fresh and the actual crepe cake itself is what matters and it is phenomenal. All the crepes are simple yet packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. Plenty of options for protein and definitely not necessary to limit this place to breakfast. Clean, small place in an unlikely part of Tucson but the staff is kind, upbeat and excited about what they serve (no kidding!). Crepes take a bit to come out but you are waiting for quality so be patient and have some of their coffee (pretty darn good). Be Warned: youre going to get a sweet and a savory crepe so make some tummy room! Thanks, Cafe Marcel for being so awesome!

This place is so worth visiting. The staff is super friendly; the environment is very clean and comfy; the view of the mountains is relaxing; and the most important: the food is delicious. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. I ordered the Wild Salmon, Cream Cheese with Capers & Dill Crêpe while my girlfriend got a Chicken, Pesto, Spinach & Tomato Crêpe. The flavor of all the ingredient is perfectly balanced and tastes just amazing. Some of the best crêpes Ive ever had. We also ordered the OLIVIA as dessert, which came out exactly like the picture and tastes awesome. Aside from that, their coffee is also fantastic. They got some great quality coffee, and you get two free refills. Dont miss it!

Dining here was awesome. Its the first time I ever tried a crepe. I LOVED IT !!! I had no idea they could be so good. I started out with a savory crepe with eggs, bacon , spinach and tomato. The chef makes his own sauce. Again, DELICIOUS!!! You cant get enough. I was fortunate enough to have room for more. The sweet crepe was AMAZING . It was a wonderful combination of strawberry, banana, Nutella and whipped cream. I really enjoyed the Ethiopian coffee. Great job chef! Youve got a great team. Thanks for your kindness!

The food is good, that there is no doubt. However, wait times are excessive. Told 45mins for food, actually time was 1.5hours. One couple left without even getting their food. I heard owners complaining about customers impatience, but an hour and half doesnt really constitute as impatient. The waitress was incredibly nice and tried very hard to check on patrons giving the circumstances. In summation: food good, owners maybe not so, waitress good. Go during off peak or if you have time to burn.

Waited 35min for a half a crepe, which, when it arrived, was dry and crunchy. Also, it was filled with chocolate sauce, rather than Nutella. When we arrived it was packed, so I understood the initial wait just fine and didnt mind, but after about 10min the place cleared out until it was us and a handful of other patrons. Crepes are to be light, quick, and fluffy, and can be made in just a few minutes. We were really disappointed, having seen good reviews of the place beforehand.

Hands down THE best crepes in Tucson! Not to mention the BEST espresso (hipster joints eat your heart out) Ive been coming here for years and just love this little gem. Incredibly fresh ingredients. Dynamite sauces. Sweet or savory crepes (Im a big fan of the chicken, spinach, tomato, feta) Super nice staff (family-owned and operated, Michelle and Joe are truly great people) Couldnt recommend this place more if I tried. A must! Bring friends and family that visit Tucson.

Would love to check this place out. They dont seem to answer their phone. Called day after Christmas, phone was busy for hours, drove across town, they were closed. Called again this am, Dec 30, phone rang and rang. They might want to invest in an answering machine with an outgoing message that tells you they are open or closed, and maybe tell us their holiday hours! Small businesses cannot afford to be this obtuse.

Awesome little cafe with the best crepes in town. They can only make 2 crepes at a time though so if its busy, youre looking at a long wait. So grab a cup of the nutella mocha and enjoy your company. I promise its worth it. I recommend the nutella strawberry banana if you want a sweet crepe, and recommend the chicken and spinach if you want a savory one. Service is fantastic, everyone working there is super nice.

Effin awesome. Hands down one of the best places I have ever been to. Walking in, Joe (who happens to own the place) gave a warm welcome and was very enthusiastic on a sunday morning. His crepes are incredible and include nothing but fresh ingredients. If you think a real crepe is what you get at ihop, well then you need to be set on fire. Ask for a "joe special"....you wont be disappointed

The crepes are excellent! I tried the pear, apple, honey and brie crepe and it was wonderful. They were also kind enough to make me a raspberry jam and cream cheese crepe, which is my favorite combination. The owners are also super nice (we came with my grandparents and they were patient with them not knowing how to sign the tablet, etc). I wish I lived here so I could come again!

Super awesome place! Super friendly people and caring. Everything seems so yummy! I have tried their crepés and coffee and i love them. This is the best place ever. Michelle and crew prepare your order with love and this is what makes us come back to this place! I work right next door and is super convenient! People should really try this out, youll never regret it

Small, family owned store that moved from 4th ave. Their prices are great, food even better and coffee is the best. They are a great go to for quick, good food and amazing coffee. The people here are just amazing and knowledgeable. You can see your drink being made right in front and of you and they answer any questions you may have.

My friend, and I decided to try this place out finally. Unfortunately the cashier from the get go wasnt necessarily the most welcoming of the bunch, in my opinion the rolling of eyes is no way to a customers heart. Funny part it wasnt even busy.. Almost decided to just say forget it, but I really had a craving for crepes .

Marcels is an adorable little cafe in a historic building. The coffee was fantastic, they still use natural flavoring. I got the ham and brie crepes and it was amazing. The food tasted fresh, they have crafted every last detail perfectly. I will definitely be attending regularly!

While they only offer crepes and coffee/lattes, it is so worth It! We loved the crunch of the outer shell and whether they were sweet or savory, the insides were to die for. Beware the portions! They are huge for a full and if wanting two Id definitely suggest two half orders.

Its hard to find good crepes in this area but Cafe Marcel has them! Both their savory and sweet crepes are fantastic and generously portioned. Customer service was excellent and we were made to feel welcome and taken care of. Definitely worth a visit!

Great coffee, pastries, and sandwiches-- perfect spot for any time of day. The husband and wife that run the place are very nice people and the space gets lots of natural light, making it the perfect spot to get some reading or studying done.
