| - Crepe Expectations serves up a delicious choice of sweet, savory or traditional breakfast (ie. eggs, bacon, etc.) crepes + beer, wine, & champagne or mimosas. I'm a total sucker for breakfast & bubbles! All of the crepes are priced from $5.50-10. Upon entry you immediately notice the intimate environment. There are not a lot of tables and they fill quickly. Don't worry though, they make sure every guest gets a table, no work required on your part.
Their crepes are packed full of top quality ingredients, actually bursting might be a better way to say it, Normally when I think of crepes, I think of something much smaller. These are more like the size of a burrito. Being the unapologetic carnivore that I am, I ordered the Sonora, which comes packed with carne asada steak, roasted tomato salsa, guac, & jack cheese that came with a cup of fideo soup. The steak was tender & flavorful, and most importantly NOT overcooked with a generous portion equally distributed throughout. Boyfriend opted for the Ana Bananas Foster, which is just like it sounds with powdered sugar on top and whip cream on the side.
We visited on a Sunday morning, and it was totally hopping. Despite the rush they sat us down immediately, and served up our bottle of champagne pretty quickly. Due to the high demand and only 2 crepe chefs, it took a little while to get our order. But we were happy chillaxing with our champagne together. Plus the have live crepe cameras, so you can watch them cooking up the yum. This really gave me an appreciation for the fact that they're cooking each order totally fresh and just for you.
Super bonus points for self serve fresh cucumber and lemon waters. So simple, yet refreshing and luxurious. They also offer some custom sodas for order. Boyfriend is originally from RI, so he got really excited to see Birch Beer on the menu.
I will be back very soon, and when I return I'm dying to try one of these: the Greek, Del Mar, or the Avalon. I really don't think you can go wrong because we could hear that everyone in the surrounding tables were ecstatic over their dishes. The girl next to us was a enthusiastic regular, and mentioned that they will do ingredient substitutions or add-ons.
