| - I am really digging The Crepe! Have you been yet? Well, why not???
I noticed The Crepe the other day when I was in the mall. I couldn't go then, but knew I had to give it a shot soon. What really caught my eye was all of the things that The Crepe is involved in and promoting. Who doesn't love a fun neighborhood joint that has Argentine Tango night, Live Jazz night, and even Story Time for the kids. Yay for trying to get a community going!
I noticed they have a great Mommy/Daddy & Me deal going on Monday-Friday 10-11am. The deal is for every full sized crepe purchased, you get a free kid's sized crepe for your kiddo. I love a good deal, especially a BOGO deal. So I had to go and check this place out.
On our visit, we got there at 10am and were the only ones there, except for our friends we were meeting. We were greeted right away by our server and he took good care of us the entire time. He wasn't familiar with the BOGO deal, but we go that straightened out pretty quickly. We had good service the entire meal and felt truly appreciated the whole time. Our server even told us about all of the other fun stuff they do for kids there like the story time and puppet shows they do throughout the week. He did a great job. I wish I remembered his name so I could give him a shout out.
Now to the good stuff, the crepes! There are so many options to choose from! Everyone in any group is bound to find at least 1, if not a dozen they want to try. On this visit I tried the breakfast France crepe. It had eggs, ham, farm cheese, tomatoes, and béchamel sauce. It was super duper yummy! My daughter had the sweet USA crepe. Her crepe was filled with pb&j with some sliced bananas thrown in the mix. She hardly eats anything at all and she took down half of this in a few minutes. That is crazy impressive for her! There were about 15 other ones that caught my eye as well, so I see us going back often, especially for the BOGO deal!
I was also very impressed with the quality of the ingredients that are being used at The Crepe. They try to use as much locally sourced items as possible for their menu. The freshness of the food really comes through in the flavors you find in the crepes. I love fresh food and helping to support our local farmers, as well as just having better quality food!
Speaking of going often, The Crepe offers as frequent visitor punch card. I love punch cards and wish more places did this for their regulars. The Crepe does it so every 9th crepe is free. Not too shabby, if I do say so.
They also have a little play area for kids. This is a fabulous idea because when you have toddlers, they just really aren't into eating. I know my daughter usually takes 2 bites and is ready to go play. With the kid's area being right by some tables, all of us adults can sit and enjoy our crepes and watch our kids play. This way everyone is happy! Thanks for thinking of us parents who really want to eat something beside drive thru all of the time when we are with our munchkins.
The only critique I would have for The Crepe is the drink selection. I am a weirdo who doesn't like coffee, hot tea, or smoothies. If you could add some regular soda to the menu, that would be great. I almost always have a soda when I am out and about. I love soda just a smidgeon less than my kid, so help a girl out please! Even if it is just canned soda, I think it would be a great thing to offer your patrons. Please please please add some soda and I will be back even more often, PROMISE!
