I have been driving past this spot for a long time when I come up Charleston Boulevard. At the end of my day around four I stopped in for the very first time and ordered both a savory and a sweet crêpe item from the menu.
The people are very nice and the place looks clean. There are a few tables for sitting, and there are quite a few choices of combinations for the crêpes.
As a person who makes my own crêpes, but sometimes does not want to go to the effort, I hope that handcrafted crêpes meet my expectations.
My food came out pretty quickly. I had a chocolate with nuts type crêpe, and I had one that was a breakfast crêpe with ham and eggs.
I took my food to go, and I only had to drive 2 miles to get home. Everything was hot, and the appearance of the crêpes was very nice with the drizzled chocolate on the one and the drizzled cheese on the breakfast.
When I went to open the containers, I was unable to manage to eat the crêpe with only a fork. I tried the savory crêpe, and the quality of the ham was not what I expected. The ham was the same color as me and I am a white woman in my 70s so there's that. There seem to be some spinach or some thing in with the eggs.
As a connoisseur of crêpes for a long time and a person who makes crêpes when I feel so inclined. I firmly believe that a crêpe should be pretty thin and pretty manageable with a fork.
I turned to the sweet crêpe, which was so beautiful to look at and it was a company by a little chocolate rice type candy with filling, and I wanted to love it. I really wanted to love it.
It was also thick and not a pleasure to eat. I thoroughly enjoyed the nuts the flavor of the chocolate, but the crêpe to me was a disaster.
I saw a person go to the crêpe machine and makes these crêpes fresh so I am not saying that something was not fresh.
It probably would take only one quarter to one third of the amount of dough used to reach the goal of a nice, thin, appealing crêpe.
With the savory crêpe, also came the option of having chips or a salad. They do serve a little salad in a cup to accompany the meal.
The salad itself looked OK, but it was not something that called out to me to eat it. After my experience with the thick and chewy crêpes, I pretty much had made my decision that someone really needs resist the enthusiasm to throw more dough on that crêpe maker.
I have no idea if everyone else has this experience with the crêpes, but it would not take much to train an individual to make a thinner crêpe.
The quality of ingredients in the savory crêpe would not make me return for this particular item.
If I could be promised a thin crêpe with the creation of the sweet chocolatey nutty crêpe I had, I might be induced to return. However, as we have a multitude of places known for their crêpes, this is unlikely.
My two stars are for attentive staff and fairly quick service.
Maybe this business started out with decent crêpes that were thin and collectible in the past, but there's no evidence of that now and ingredients are subpar inside the savory breakfast crêpe.
This makes me sad because the possibility of being able to serve the community with decent crêpes and quick meals is right there in front of you, but I have absolutely no idea how an establishment could get so much business as to afford to have a store on Charleston in this Busy area for so long.
