Popular brunch creperie by Las Setas with tasty galettes and pastries at budget prices, but service speed and organization can be inconsistent during busy times.
La Crème de la Crème delivers reliable brunch appeal with solid food quality in galettes and crepes at friendly prices, plus pleasant plaza views near Las Setas. However, quality varies noticeably—cold dishes and stale pastries appear regularly—while service becomes sluggish during busy periods, creating unpredictable waits. Best experienced off-peak or on the terrace.
Steps from Las Setas, this cafe feels casual and bustling, a spot where travelers and locals grab crepes, galettes, and coffee with plaza views. One diner summed it up: great food but slow when crowded. Staff are often praised by name, though busy spells can mean waits. The cooking leans French-influenced comfort: buckwheat galettes like the Completa, sweet crepes from Nutella to goat cheese with honey, and simple tostas. Portions are generous for the price, and coffee and freshly squeezed OJ get love. Expect classic brunch flavors rather than culinary fireworks; pastries are popular but draw mixed notes when not freshly baked. Families will find it easy for kids. Simple croissants, ham-and-cheese tostas, yogurt with fruit, and sweet crepes are slam dunks. Prices are friendly, but timing matters: arrive off-peak or choose the terrace to avoid long waits that can test hungry children.
