Bonjour, we’re Laure & Irina - and this is Les Capucines!

Our story begins in France, where crêpes weren’t just food - they were comfort, celebration, and connection. An integral part of our childhood, crêpes stayed with us as we grew, reminding us that the simplest things often bring the greatest joy.

When we moved to New York, we carried those memories with us - and a dream to bring a slice of that joy here. Les Capucines is our love letter to those moments. Named after the bright, resilient flower (nasturtium in English), it’s a symbol of warmth, beauty, and dreams brought to life - just like the space we’ve created.

Here, you’ll find authentic French galettes and crêpes made with care, high-quality ingredients, and a lighter, modern touch.

We hope you’ll stop by, say hello, have a crêpe (or two) and share a moment with us.

Bon appétit! 🇫🇷✨

FAQs

  • Crêpes are made with wheat flour and typically filled with sweet ingredients, while galettes are made with buckwheat flour, giving them a slightly nutty flavor and a crispier texture - perfect for savory fillings. Both are delicious and made fresh to order!

  • Yes! Our galettes (savory buckwheat crêpes) are naturally gluten-free, made with just 100% buckwheat flour and water. We also offer a gluten-free version of our sweet batter. However, please note that all items are prepared in the same kitchen as our traditional wheat-based crêpes, so while we take care, cross-contamination is possible.

  • Yes! Our galettes are naturally dairy-free, and we’re happy to customize fillings to suit vegan diets. Our gluten-free sweet batter is also dairy-free. Just let us know your preferences when ordering - we’ll do our best to accommodate.

  • We prioritize quality above all and aim to source fresh, local, and organic ingredients whenever possible. Our flour comes directly from a traditional miller, and for specialty items like cheese, butter, and spreads, we mostly use select French and European products that reflect our commitment to authenticity and flavor. We also make a few of our own spreads in-house, so you’ll always find something thoughtfully crafted and delicious on your plate.
