Thanks to fellow Yelper Wei C. for the tip that T-Swirl is now open in Canada. I first tried this (mainly takeout) franchise creperie in Flushing, NY last March and it left a lasting impression. First I appreciate that they have gluten free crepes made of rice flour. More importantly the crepes are really yummy!
They have a number of fresh fruit, chocolate, savoury, and Asian inspired flavours of crepes. A few sweet crepes even come with a scoop of gelato on top! We ordered the matcha chocolate truffle crepe. I love the contrast of textures between the creamy truffles and matcha cream, crunchy nuts and crepe edges, tart and sweet strawberries, and soft and slightly chewy crepe. They make their own truffles in house. I have yet to try their savoury options but the portion looks ideal for a light lunch. Crepes range from $8-$13, with their most expensive crepe being the angus short ribs crepe.
There is limited seating near the counter, as well as a few tables for two towards the back of the restaurant. A large glass dispenser filled with lemon water is readily accessible for patrons to help themselves to water to wash down the crepes.
From July 28 to August 4 they are offering 20% off as part of their grand opening special. T-Swirl is located in a corner of the plaza beside Game station and a few doors down from Wonton Chai. Definitely recommend.
