| - I've noticed that crepes has been an item that's been popping up, around the city, whether they'd be at dessert places, cafés, food trucks, or entire restaurants that use crepes are a vehicle for sweet/savoury dishes!
Blinco's is another café located 1-1.5blocks away West from Kipling Station, in the same plaza as Swiss Chalet. Actually, it's fairly easy to miss as the restaurant itself is NOT facing Dundas, but adjacent to it. Easy to access parking lot if you're driving West on Dundas, but very tricky otherwise.
Unit is new and decor is clean and minimalist, chill atmosphere. Lunch/Dinner crepes were $8.99, side salad was extra, but only +$1.50 for a tea/coffee with these crepes. When you order, there is a list of free ingredients that you can add to customise your crepe. And yes, they do sorta look like burritos...and taste somewhat similar as well.
I tried both the Beans & Guac + 'Stuff' (a bit of everything) and they tasted like burritos, but not as strong of a flavour profile, not as salty, and the crepe shell was nice and fluffy...what crepes should be!
Will definitely be back to try more things on the menu. Crepe maker/owner was friendly!
The only down side to Blinco's is the location. It's sorta in a transitional/commuter part of the city, not visible from the main street, and again, lot is difficult to access. I can see it becoming more busy ones Kip District goes up!
