As one of the members that was along with Barbara Davis, I can concur with her review of our experience. Even as a large party that is in no way rude, is patient even with the rudeness we experienced from the staff without complaint, the waitress even heard us extolling how much we loved the food - I saw her standing there listening in, every other business weve eaten at has absolutely no problem with splitting our bill, making sure our water has ice, making sure we get silverware without having to ask for it so we can eat our meal no matter how busy that business it at the time (your place was anything but busy). Weve always tipped at least 20% on our own. To be treated with rudeness, extremely slow service and YOU automatically add 20% tip to every bill without stating that expectation on your menu. Two sides to every story? Try 6 people who all experienced the same treatment in an empty restaurant. Yes the food was exceptional but no food is worth the treatment and service we received.

Our group of 6 got seated immediately and, after a long wait was given tepid water, no ice, in plastic glasses. Another long wait and we got our coffee and iced tea, no refills. No silverware or napkins until we asked. We were told they could not split up the bill and could only split it 3 and 3. Later she said they could do bills in pairs. After a lunch with terrible service, waitress seemed annoyed that we were there, we were given our bills with 20% added for a tip. I had a savory crepe, $10, a dessert crepe, $10 and iced tea. My bill was $23. Now add 20%, $4.60, total $27.50 for lunch. The food was great, everyone loved it. However, none of us will be back due to the terrible service and attitude of the waitress. There were very few people there on a Saturday at noon. It should have been jammed because of the food but, I dont have much hope for them if their attitudes dont change.

Weve had the crepes from Savory Et Sweet at the Hillsdale Farmers Market for years. We loved the food of course, and that they had gluten free options, but almost more than that we really liked the owners. Always a smile, always pleasantries, you just knew that they enjoyed what they did. Imagine our surprise to head to breakfast here to see a very similar menu. Later we saw our favorite crape maker in the kitchen and knew it was the same place. The polenta crepe is gluten free and a very nice consistency, but the buckwheat is the old tried and true. The restaurant is airy and spacious and EXTREMELY clean. Great spot.

My wife and I had lunch here on Thursday. The atmosphere was plain, yet warm. If you looked, there were lots of nice and whimsical things scattered about. Everything on the menu looked good. We compromised and got two crepes to share (Apple, Ham, Cheese and a Chipotle Chicken) and a third to go (fig & Ham). They were all very good. Service was good and the lady who served us was pleasant; not (fake) bubbly like some places, but nice and attentive. I am going to try to go back the next time I am in the area. They are worth the 30 mile drive.

My Fiancée and I came here during late breakfast/lunch time and had 2 of their savory crepes. Apple maple bacon and the chicken arugula. Both were very good, light, and delicate. We also tried the blackberry-basil limeade which was very refreshing and had great flavor. We didnt have to wait very long either. Service was polite and helpful. The overall feel of this little cafe/bakery was inviting and homey. Definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for something light, healthy, and quick.

A little pricey but the best crepes Ive ever had! Im a creature of comforts and usually only order one style of crepe but they convinced me to try a chicken pesto crepe and it was amazing! very flavorful and great texture. They were very open to customizing my order to be almond free since Im allergic but they also had other types of allergies covered in a wide reaching way that didnt leave a sad corner of the menu and made me feel included. Bringing my friends here from now on!

We showed up to full house, new trainee, & a proposed 1hour long wait for food... But it was a beautiful day, they had outside seating, & we had time to kill so we stayed & boy am I glad we did! This was our first visit so ordered 6 items to split between family of 5. Everything was great, but our agreed upon favorites were the sausage and peppers, & Strawberry rhubarb crepes! We greatly appreciated the amazing service & will recommend this restaurant to everyone.

I went here with my husband and two of our friends, and all of us absolutely loved the crepes! Unique flavor combinations (for both their sweet and savory crepes) and choice of crepe batter make it impossible to find something you wouldnt like. I appreciated the high quality ingredients, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly staff. I would recommend Arugularium to anyone who loves crepes or anyone who has never tried them! Youre in for a treat here!

Had breakfast here last weekend. My wife and I got savory crepes and both seemed pretty good. She opted for a polenta crepe (gluten free) and I had the traditional, both of the crepes had chicken. The food was good, but their prices seem a bit steep. Also, we walked away wishing that the crepes would have had something on the side. We were all still hungry upon leaving and felt like we didnt quite get our moneys worth.

Have really enjoyed every visit. The space feels airy and even though Im not usually a crepe lover...both savory and sweet options are awesome. I particularly love the tarragon chicken crepe and the raspberry creme brûlée. They also serve blue kangaroo coffee which makes a nice cup of drip coffee in caffeinated or decaf options. Really glad to have them in the area.

Food is excellent. Always since were been here when opened. Savory so delicious. However, every time I go I feel like my kids are not welcome. Yes they occasionally spill drinks, noisy. But they are overall good and we take them out a lot. They are always getting corrected by staff every time we come. I recommend for adults, not for kids.

The food is pretty good, but they could really use a manager at this place. If they have a manager, they could use a decent manager. Ive been a few times, and ended up leaving twice. The time we did eat there, service wasnt much better, but our crepes were pretty good.

Great atmosphere! Are here around Halloween and they place was decorated abd very festive. The food was delicious! I love savory crepes and arugula, so it was the perfect place to eat. It is also breastfeeding friendly, which is huge for me and my new babe.

One of my favorite places! I am not a big fan of crepes, but I often find myself craving to come back. I enjoy their savory chicken poblano, but sometimes opt for something on their weekly special menu. Their quality makes the price well worth it.
