We love Cecilia’s. We have been coming since they opened, and prior to that, we had been frequenting their food truck. We were really hoping for something fabulous to come into the spot they now occupy, since it is so close to our home, and we were very happy to see Cecelia‘s not only arrive, but hoist a tent and be able to have outdoor dining to survive Covid. We have had many of the items on the menu, and especially love the mushroom crêpe, the French onion soup, and the tamales. We were there the other day, and really had a beautiful meal. See photos. My only complaint is that sometimes when we go, the food is excellent, and sometimes when we go, the crêpes don’t have as much stuffing. So it’s a little inconsistent. I love to take friends here, and tell them the crepes are wonderful, and bonus that they are gluten-free, and then sometimes the stuffing will not be particularly filling, and it’s a bit disappointing. But I’d say eight times out of 10, the food quality is excellent. Certainly a favorite lunch place of ours. My only suggestion would be to watch consistency, and make sure those crêpes are full and lovely, with lots of stuffing! Today’s visit was excellent! P.s. Don’t skip out on the French onion soup. It really is beautifully done! UPDATE: Had the Popeye and it had a lot of good spinach!

It was lunchtime and I was looking for a restaurant in my vicinity that wasn't fast food and had healthy options. Was I happy I chose Ceclia's Kitchen! Recently opened, it has an extensive menu with several gluten free and vegetarian options. What a treat for me to have gluten free crepes!! My server was uber friendly. Food was prepared to order so allow a few extra minutes for preparation. Varied wine menu and ample parking. Will definitely return to try other menu items!
