We came there from downtown on foot because we really wanted to have some great pancakes for breakfast. According to the Google Maps reviews, it's one of the best places in the city.

The problems started right after we walked in. We had to wait for literally everything. We waited about 10 minutes for a guy to seat us. He was just walking back & forth, moving tables & chairs around & adjusting the umbrellas. Then we waited for the menus, asked for water, & waited again. We got the menus, made our choice, & waited for the same guy to come & take our order. The food itself arrived quickly (brought by another guy), but there were no utensils, & we had to wait until our guy brought them.

The pancakes themselves were AMAZING, very good. We didn't order coffee because we didn't want to get stuck there until the evening.

Had the best breakfast at chocacao! The crepes were absolutely delicious-perfectly soft, fresh, & filled with amazing flavor. Great coffee, cozy ambiance, & excellent service made the experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wonderful breakfast spot. Will definitely be back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've been coming to get breakfast since I first moved to Montreal & I can say that they never disappoint.

Love that they are gluten free as someone who has had to cut gluten a few times so I can always come here no matter what!

My favorites have definitely been the'Quartier Latin','Petite Bourgogne' & the'Village' all with a drizzle of maple syrup on top!

Will be coming to try out more tho!

Excellente crêpes bretonnes, Yan (J'espère que je fais pas d'erreur pour son nom) était super sympathique & efficace ! Superbe discussion avec lui.
Les crêpes étant fait avec la farine de sarrasin est parfait pour les gens intolérants au gluten.
Crêpe Plateau (photo) fut excellente pour le petit-déjeuner ;)
Nous y reviendrons à notre prochain voyage à MTL!

Excellent Breton crêpes! Yan (I hope I'm not mistaken about his name) was super friendly & efficient! We had a great chat.
The crêpes are made with buckwheat flour, so they're perfect for people with gluten intolerance.
The Crêpe Platter (pictured) was excellent for breakfast ;) We'll be back!

My partner & I were staying in Griffintown for a few days, & tried this place for breakfast/brunch one day. What a gem..!!! They had their patio at the front of the restaurant, which meant we were able to eat with our furbaby (very important!), & the crêpes were amazing. I also paired mine up with some pineapple juice, which was so perfect & fresh. Service was quick, friendly, & easy-going. Everything about that meal was perfect, that when we ended up in Montréal again a few days later but was too far from Griffintown to walk to the restaurant, we ended up ordering the crêpes online for delivery to a hotel on the other end of downtown! & how those crêpes held up so well despite a 20-minute drive is honestly beyond me. (All their food packaging was also environment-conscious, recyclable or compostable, a huge plus for me!). We will most definitely be visiting Spanel every time we find ourselves in Montréal.

Having read great reviews, we had high expectations for this local spot. We were disappointed as the crepes were not fully garnished & the portions were small. We paid $6 for not even a 1/2 cup of breakfast potatoes! The taste was there, but at $60 for 2 crepes & a side, we will not be back.

What a hidden gem in Montreal! The crepes here are truly amazing…one of the best we had so far (highly recommend the Martiniquaise). We also tried two savoury crepes for breakfast, & everything was fresh, flavourful, & beautifully prepared.

You can feel the care & hard work in every detail. The service was warm & attentive. The owner was very kind, honest, & offered us great recommendations from their menu, & made us feel welcome.

A wonderful experience all around for me & my partner! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Montreal

It was my first time having breakfast with my friends. The food was great, the place was cute, & the atmosphere was lovely. What really made the experience special, though, was the waiter, Vong, who was so professional, welcoming, & friendly. The positive energy & attention to detail added an extra layer to the whole experience. Vong's kindness really made us feel comfortable, & it was a special touch to our morning. Having Vong there was definitely a highlight!
