Crêpes: etc.

The sudden close of Crepes in the City left me scrambling to find another establishment to get my crepe fix from. Luckily for me I didn't have to go too far to find it. Crêpes: etc. specializes not only in crepes but all things sweet and yummy.

Located next to sister restaurant Scape (also a must try), Crêpes:etc. blends the look of French cafe and market with a touch of American diner creating a warm cozy atmosphere for diners to enjoy the many delicious delights offered on the menu. Just inside the front door is a small market area that carries wine, fresh local produce, cookbooks, baking mixes and spices among other things. However, you may actually miss all of this due to the distraction of the bakery case filled with all sorts of goodies made both at the restaurant and from other local vendors. My personal suggestion from the case would be the banana cream pie tart. It has the most amazing tasting graham cracker crust I have ever had. The crust is super thick almost like a cookie so it doesn't completely disintegrate as soon as you stick a fork in it, thus allowing you taste the buttery crunchy crust along with the creamy sweet cream and caramel. I'm telling you it's heaven. The fun continues with more baked goodness located next to the cash register. There you can pick up some of their chocolate chip cookies that are said to be the best in town (I have yet to try them but they are on my list). If you are feeling a little nostalgia for the carefree days of being a kid you can bite into one of their huge Captain Crunch Crunch Berries treats, Crêpes: etc.'s take on the Rice Krispie treat that is overloaded with gooey marshmallow. If you are having a bad day this is sure to perk you up.

As for the main event they serve both sweet and savory crepes and all are delicious. My personal favorites are strawberries and cream for sweet and the Skinny Californian for savory which is roasted chicken, avocado, bacon, Swiss and tomato with mornay sauce, mmmmmm. Crêpes: etc. also offers other breakfast and lunch options in addition to their namesake and are open until midnight on Friday and Saturday to satisfy your late night cravings. Bon appetit!
