The French Cow crepes shop

A hot sunny afternoon in Detroit downtown, we were vacationing surprising a cousin on his birthday… when we heard about the stalls in the eastern market. We, being who we are, always love visiting a local farmers market to get a glimpse of the local food scene. After a lazy morning, having amazing home-brewed coffee (cousin being a coffee connoisseur) to wake us all up, we drove to the eastern market from home. We walked through numerous shops selling everything from clothes to earrings to handbags and finally ended up going to that set of stalls that excite us the most- food. One stall stood out amongst the many there and we decided to try it out. We are all crepe-lovers, generally - having tasted in loads of places for breakfast… this stall had a couple of lovely ladies who were making crepes with a big pleasant smile on their faces - the reason we even wanted to try there!!! First attempted the ‘Scent of New York’ … handed to us piping hot. We walked away not taking a bite, since it was too hot, walked a couple of stalls away before we took the first bite and that is when magic stuck us. It was far from a regular crepe, perfectly seasoned batter and oh my my … that cinnamon powder on that crepes made us all drool. We all got a bite of it, literally fighting for the last piece. Apparently this was the most underrated item of theirs!!! It truly was underrated - it definitely deserved more attention and a bigger audience… we had to go back to try something else. After grazing through the menu, settled on having a savoury crepe… seriously savoury!!!! I would have never had it in any other place… savoury crepe was not something that I was keen on - my husband pushed me (he wanted Italian) and we went for it. Boy boy - it was like we were in Italy in the streets of Rome relishing amazing pizzas… this crepe was Italy wrapped and handed over in your hand…. Enjoyed every cheesy bit of it with the copious amount of cheese, basil and tomatoes… I am not sure if I will ever go back to eastern market in Detroit again but if I do… I am going to this place again… or to wherever they are!!!

I love The French Cow and I’ve had nothing but lovely experiences enjoying their crepes! They are always willing to recommend something that we’ll enjoy depending on the day. I’m more of a sweet person so my favorite is the Apple far From the Tree but occasionally I’ll get a lemon sugar crepe when I need something lighter and they’ve always been happy to make it for me. My husband is a savory person and his favorite is the Monique. These are the most authentic French crepes in SE MI by far and that’s what makes them so special! You’ll experience nothing but smiling faces and good vibes supporting this small business and I highly recommend checking them out :)

Delicious! This was a great quick-bite brunch option while shopping at the Market. My husband had a sweet crepe and I had a savory one (Mount Everest)— both excellent. I liked that they wrap it up in a hand-held form so you can wander while eating.

I love the French Cow, the ladies are always amazing. We brought our daughter who has a gluten allergy and she loved the Gluten free crepe. They were amazing at customizing her order, with being a picky eater. You won't regret it, so good.

My family and I absolutely love the French cow crepes, their staff is amazing and kind. Everytime we are at eastern market this is where we go for our breakfast and it never fails to amaze us. Highly recommend !!

We go just about every time Marie is at Sprout House! We love both the savory & sweet crepes. La Complete is my favorite. Delicious, imaginative & always something we look forward to.

Was so excited to have support staff at an event with The French Cow yesterday! As usually the crepes were fabulous, everything was so fresh. Guest interaction is great, individual orders are taken and they get to watch the process of their crepe being made and ask tons of questions. My favorite was the Lemon, Butter, Sugar Crepe!! A great addition to any event!

Came with my husband and parents had the 3 delicious crapes! Chunky monkey strawberry and Nutella and coconut! Amaizing we will be back for sure! To try the breakfast specials!
