"Marlen Alchinov and Aigerim Mambetova, the spouses and owners behind this cozy cafe and bakery in Ravenswood, bring a Central Asian lilt to Chicago’s crepe scene — to great effect. The couple immigrated in 2013 from Kyrgyzstan and their roots are evident throughout the menu, including among its selection of sweet and savory crepes. Standouts include halal ground beef crepes with rice, cherry tomatoes, greens, and sour cream; and “classic crepes” slathered with condensed milk and strawberry jam made on-site." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
