| - I was in the area and needed to find a place for brunch. This restaurant is located in the same strip plaza as a 24hour McD's and a Food Basic. I don't come to this area often but for as long as I remember, this plaza is very old and I come here only once every 5-10 years to renew my passport or to do anything government related.
The restaurant is very clean and spacious with a lot of tables/seats. Unfortunately, during my 1.5hour stay, there was only 1 other customer who only ate for 15 minutes and then packed everything to go. It is a great place if you want to have some alone time or just to catch up with a friend. The seats were comfortable but the place was overall very dark in the morning. There's definitely a lack of windows and the lights were dim. I would prefer to eat my breakfast in a brighter place.
The prices in general were on the higher side, but it is comparable to other crepe places. My mom and I decided to share a plate to taste test it out first before ordering another one. We got the breakfast crepe with eggs, spinach, mushroom and bacon ($8.49). We also ordered an alkaline coffee (~$2.00). When I asked about the difference between a regular black coffee and the alkaline coffee, the lady at the counter said that the alkaline is good for detox and is an energy booster. We also got the supreme coffee ($3.50), which is sweetened coffee with ginseng.
Let's talk first about the coffee: The black alkaline coffee was very light, almost tasteless. To me, it was 2x lighter than the Starbucks blonde. Mom and I are used to more of the Starbucks pike so if you are used to strong(er) coffee, I don't suggest you to order this one. The supreme coffee was made from a instant coffee packet. It tasted just like any other packaged instant coffee with just added ginseng flavour. It was wayyy too sweet for my liking as I usually don't add sugar to my coffee. If I had known, I wouldn't have ordered this.
The crepe: It was a huge plate of crepe that was decorated with slices of cucumbers and fruits. It was perfect for 2 people to share. I didn't really like the taste of the filling inside, I thought the sauce that they put in was weird, but I still ate it but just didn't enjoy it. I am guessing it was the bechamel sauce.
The service was great. The lady at the counter was very nice and explained things in great detail.
Overall, I don't think I'll come back. There are sandwiches that I might come to try, but I doubt it considering it is a crepe place. Their dessert crepes might be better...?
