Excellent All Around

My group of nine had brunch here yesterday and were quite impressed. There were many interesting items on the menu, so it was difficult to choose just one. One of my friends and I had the traditional Bananas Nutella crepe--I was pleasantly surprised it came with a scoop of ice cream--and it was excellent: Delicious, beautiful presentation, and generous amount of fillings. The service was pleasant and very attentive, and I realized that we had stayed for nearly three hours--Oops!--but they never rushed us out, despite the dining room being almost completely full. I will definitely be back again.

A fun and different atmospher

You definitely have to like crepes to come here, but it is so worth it. The service is probably the best in andersonville, and the crepes come in great proportions. I also loved the mint tea with honey, it was a refreshing treat in this cold weather.

You can find something for every taste on this menu. The Crepes (both dinner and dessert) are AMAZING. Great ambiance and vegetarian-friendly too.

A friend and I visited Icosium on a saturday night. The food was EXCELLENT! WE both had the Crepe Marrakech with the Algerian sausage. The portion was perfect, the ingredients were fresh and flavorful and our experience was great! This is a wonderful BYOB! We were very impressed and will be back.

Awesome coffee and crepes
By Zebra from Edgewater, November 17, 2007

I stumbled upon this place, quickly looked at the menu and decided that crepes for lunch sounded great. I wasn't disappointed. I love the fact they offer Brie and Goat cheese as options when building your own crepe, and the type of nuts, vegetables, meats (add $3.00 for including meat)... They offer freshly squeezed orange and carrot juice, as well as organic coffee.
If this was my place, I would make the savory crepes smaller and less pricey to leave space in your wallet as well in your stomach for a desert. Due to both, I didn't get to sample any... I might go back one day just for desert.

This is a gem of a place! Loverly ambiance, most excellent crepes. Service is laid-back and friendly. If you are looking to be waited on hand and foot go to your mama's house. Come here to enjoy great food and conversation with friends/family. My gf and I sat there for an hour talking after dinner, and no one said boo.

A great find! Best crepes in the city for the price. Crepe Buena is delicious, as is the savory crepes with Algerian lamb. I keep going back to try a different crepe each time. Turkish coffee is really good

The food is okay, but the service is AWFUL. Always slow even though there often seems to be more staff than customers. People who sat down after our party were served their food before we even received beverages. Not recommended.

Great food! Very reasonable. The original at Clark and Fullerton has a coffee house feel. This is more like an ornate diner. Service is a bit slow, but that happens anywhere when a place gets packed. Well worth a visit.
