Iguana Cafe
Reviews
Great food, withheld one star only bc the wait staff(while pleasant) is never staffed enough and can be slow turning the table over due to no fault of their own. I waited over 18 minutes for a check so I could leave. But I loved my crepe and tea while I waited. 😋
I eat here all of the time, because it is near my work. We both have meeting there, and I will get takeout. They have very fast service, if you tell them you are on a schedule. All of the dishes I have tried are quite good every time. The barista is quite skilled, so you can get excellent coffee drinks I personally enjoy their crepes, the oven baked pasta, and the breakfast sandwiches.
Iguana Cafe seems to be the regular place that my colleagues and I go to after our monthly meetings, not only because it is in the neighborhood, but because we really like it. This place is very cute and unpretentious, with a very comfortable ambiance. You really would fit it no matter how you came dressed here. The staff is primarily European and attentive, yet we have never been rushed. The area up on the raised platform is always reserved for our large group (with a call a few hours ahead) and we end up mingling among all the tables. Their food is not out of this world, but it it good. I have had both veggie crepes, the Venice and Amsterdam. Their drink selection is also quite varied. I think this is a great first date type of place!
This place gets an extra star for the amazing Port wine from Portugal. The atmosphere is great here and more than makes up for the average crepes. I must have gotten lucky, judging by some other reviews, but my service was quick and friendly (European friendly, not American friendly, which I prefer anyways). The artichoke&spinach dip was one of the best ones I've ever had - barely any cheese, just the veggies! The Almond Joy crepe, was meh - I've had better. But again, the wine made everything better.
You have to get their peanut butter nutella crepe. Crepes should not taste this good. You will not want to share. Get it a la mode.
