| - 'Twas one nice sunny day at the start of spring-- I was hungry and desperately searching for late lunch at 3pm. I saw Crepes Club and my gustatory instincts said oh yes yes yes! From the outside I thought it was just a small cafe, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually spacious inside. Decors are minimal but charming and without unnecessary clutter. On my table was just a little mason jar with cheery fresh flowers, and a small pretty candle. I appreciate small details like these and it made me happy even prior to getting fed. I noticed though, that the music was a bit off that time I was there. They were playing Lady Gaga songs when I would much rather want to hear something more relaxing like jazz or classics, or perhaps some of those smooth French songs to go with crepes? Then again maybe I'm just an old soul when it comes to music and besides, it's the food that matters. So there I was, once again confronted with a choice between sweet and savoury... The time being 3pm, I figured I might as well have an afternoon snack and chose the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe with a single shot cafe americano. My order came within reasonable time-- not overly slow but not too quick either as to wonder about its freshness. It was a feast for the eyes and I had to admire it for a few seconds before digging in. It was a bit too heavy for me though, and a bit too much Nutella-- so much so that I didn't need sugar in my coffee. I don't know if that's a plus or minus factor, but one thing's for sure: they don't scrimp on ingredients and they make their crepes with a lot of love. I think I may have gained 2 pounds after coming here but I have no regrets. Next time I want to try a simple lemon and sugar crepe, or perhaps one of the savoury options. Better yet, I'm bringing my husband along to share with!
