Crêperie de la Mer 210 North Beach Avenue, Beach Haven, NJ 08008

"We went today, ordered two Monte Cristo crepes and one Mixed Berry crepe. We tried calling ahead but we’re told they no longer do orders over the phone, so we went down to order and pick them up. Waited over a half hour for them. One of the Monte Cristos was fine, the other had these weirdly dry, hard bits in the crepe, and the mixed berry was missing the cream inside. So it was literally just crepe and berries. The taste for all of these just tasted off, had to douse the one in syrup to soften the hard bits. The berries in the mixed Berry weren’t even ripe. Overall, very disappointed in this place. An edit since the owner responded: Your response doesn’t explain the terrible quality in one Monte Cristo or the the lack of decently edible fruit in the Mixed Berry. Not that I was ever looking for a response or explanation, I was giving an accurate account of what happened in my experience. Please put less effort into long, drawn out responses to your Google reviews (as you’ve demonstrated a habit of doing), and more effort in fixing your low quality food and service. Thanks!"

"I almost forgot to write a review but came back to do it because my experience was so bad. We stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday and waited almost an hour for our food after ordering. We watched other orders for customers who ordered after us get prepared before ours, and we watched the employees move our ticket to the back after each new order. When the crepes finally came out, my crepe was so over cooked it was like a tortilla chip. As you can see in the photo, it was so burnt it could stand up on its side. Incredibly disappointing after waiting an hour for food and the crepe was not cheap. The only reason this place deserves two stars instead of one is because they remade my crepe and the new crepe was pretty good. However, on the whole, this was not worth it."

"This quaint little place did not disappoint! It’s a must try but please be patient as they make everything from scratch! It by far fulfilled my pregnancy craving & the staff was so sweet! I had the strawberry Nutella crepe & my husband had the monte cristo crepe. Both were incredibly delicious / flavorful. We will be back for sure."

"The best tasting and most creative crepes I’ve ever had. Love all the savory options and how each item has a flavor combination that you can’t find anywhere else. Heard some complaints that it takes a while for the food to come out, but I always come at the right time and have never had this problem. The staff is beyond nice and helpful, even going out of their way to call my friend and I while we walked out of the store to compliment us and ask where my sweater was from. I have seriously never found a crepe place better than this one, unbeatable. They can even make any crepe gluten free! Come here every time I visit LBI."

"the crepes were amazing, but it took an hour and a half to make 5 crepes. i understand a long wait for fresh, handmade food but this felt excessive, especially when several parties who ordered after us received their food much earlier. i would totally eat the crepes again, but just be warned about the wait"
