| - Located off the beaten path in a non-descript Tempe strip mall off Rural Road- they are putting out some very flavorful and creative crepes here! I have yelp to thank for discovering this gem of a cafe! While visiting Chandler for my son's volleyball tournament, I needed to get something to eat. I wasn't sure if I wanted breakfast or lunch, but when I saw Crêpe bar, and its nearly 5-star rating on yelp, my curiosity got the better of me...
Apparently, crêpe bar got its start as a food truck. Being a former small business owner, I always root for the little guy, so I was happy for their success in opening the cafe. I decided to order the one item on their menu that they had at the original food truck, The Papa K. I got mine with added scrambled eggs, and was it ever delicious! Made with local ham- served fresh and warm with a mushroom ragout, pepper jack cheese, plus a side of field greens (with an olive oil dressing), and crunchy Parmesan cheese around the edges- it was fabulous!
The service here is extraordinarily friendly and efficient... They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and appreciated. In addition to hearty, main course type crepes, they also have sweet crepes, with names like sugar Brulé, maple butter, vanilla bean custard, and the one everyone seems to rave about- first time Nutella. I thought the complimentary starter of house made granola was a nice gesture. Full espresso bar and drip coffee, along with teas and beer are offered to complement the excellent food. The vibe here is young and hip- with concrete floors, colorful walls, happy people, and semi-loud music. I would go back in a heartbeat, and look forward to trying the sweet crepes next time.
