The building Creperie Alcyon occupies is a Western-style building put up in 1957. Yellow walls and brick are its features, and decorations based on grapes and ribbons remain on the stair railings and the walls. They were carved by hand, one at a time, by a craftsman of the day thinking of France.
The first floor is the kitchen, and the seating is on the second and third floors. There are separate seats in the basement as well.
Waiting and reservations
Creperie Alcyon takes phone reservations for meals only. You cannot reserve if you are only having the crepe set or a single item, or if you are a group of four or more.
The place has a reputation for queues, but when I went on a weekday around 3pm, after the lunch rush, I walked straight in with no wait. I was shown to a window seat on the second floor, and the seats inside were about half full at the time.
If you want to avoid the queue, going right after opening or in the afternoon once lunchtime is over seems like the way to do it.
Menu and prices
✅ The difference between a crepe and a galette
Crepes are made with wheat flour, galettes with buckwheat flour. Both started in the Brittany region of France.
- Crepe: a sweet dish made from wheat flour batter
- Galette: a savory dish of buckwheat batter with ham, cheese, egg and the like
Alcyon uses French wheat flour, French Echire butter and Guerande salt.

Tiramisu and berry mille-feuille: what they were like
✅ Berry mille-feuille, 1,200 yen
The berry sauce was less sweet than I expected and refreshing, so it started well from the first bite. The crisp mille-feuille pastry, the soft cream and the cold gelato came together for plenty of texture, and the parts balanced each other rather than pulling apart. Of the two, the berry mille-feuille satisfied me far more, and it is the one I would order again.
✅ Tiramisu crepe, 1,100 yen
The bitterness of the coffee cream was faint, and the sweet, creamy taste of the mascarpone and vanilla was much stronger. I had been expecting the bitter coffee note tiramisu usually has, and personally the sweetness came through pretty strongly.
The tiramisu crepe and the berry mille-feuille came to 2,300 yen, which I paid in cash.
※ Prices are from the receipt on the visit of 3 August 2026.
Crepes and galettes in an old Western-style building, with the atmosphere of the back street outside, made a good place to rest for a while during a Namba trip. On an afternoon when a sweet crepe comes to mind, it was an easy place to drop into.
