| - A very unique breakfast place with great crepes (and tons of different kinds), at really decent prices. It vaguely reminds me of Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans, in that it's just crepes and a drink...there's nothing else on the menu (at the Cafe Du Monde, it's beignets and a drink).
Here are some other things I like about this place:
- No disgraceful uniforms for employees, or anything resembling a uniform
- No over-the-top "Frenchness" (it's Pittsburgh for Christsake)...with the obvious exception of a 3-4 foot Eiffel Tower
- you can watch them cook the crepes while you wait, which is both entertaining and you can see how fresh everything is
- the crepes are delicious, and cooked quickly and perfectly, with different oil/sauce choices
What I didn't like was:
- the regular coffee isn't brewed fresh (less than 30 minutes), I think because the staff was too busy. Any serious coffee drinkers will know the results.
- Its small, and can only hold 30 people according to the government. You order first, then take your seat, which means you wait at the counter until someone gets up and leaves. As a result, the staff does this thing where they pretend not to see you until a table opens up. I understand, I do, but some courtesy, even phony courtesy, would be nice.
- Its not unlike eating breakfast in someones basement.
Still, those crepes are really damn good. I'll go back soon.
