| - After reading lots of rave reviews and seeing the number of awards this place has won, I decided to venture over to check out the Crepe Bar. The place was small and definitely not for big groups. It was crowded at 11AM, with an almost bar-like atmosphere (think somewhat loud music, dim lights, and people talking over one another to be heard), but with really cute decor. The staff were super friendly but as for the food, I guess I'm a little disappointed.
The menu was limited but as a coffee-addict, my eyes were immediately drawn to the Pick Me Up - a coffee crepe, while my boyfriend and friend both got the Breakfast Burrito (or was it burro?) - one with an add-on of potatoes, another with chorizo. We waited about 30 minutes for our three crepes, straining to hear our names being called over the noise of the crowd, and by that time, we were starving. And the portions were pretty small and not quite brunch-worthy. The Breakfast Burrito was pretty good and tasted much better than my Pick Me Up but the potatoes were too salty for my friend's taste. My coffee crepe didn't taste very coffee-like except for the two dollops of coffee-flavored whipped cream on the side. The crepe itself didn't seem to have anything in it, which was the main source of my disappointment.
In a nutshell, great staff, great service, cute place, rather noisy, but more of a dessert place rather than a breakfast place just because of the portion sizes, and just be prepared for the wait.
