| - So, I'm biased because I already know I love crepes. That is more than I can say for the boy who, after being served, asked why there was a pancake on his food. I love the modernly styled atmosphere, and the novelty of the "crepe cam" (it is exactly as it sounds, camera feeding to a TV so you can watch your crepes being made). And, as everyone said, the staff were incredibly friendly, that will keep me coming back.
Crepe Expectations does a great job with having a diverse menu of savory and sweet "dishes". Additionally, they have fantastic prices on beer for a boutique cafe! Most of the standard beers were only $3, and they have a pretty extensive wine and specialty drinks menu for a creperie. They also offer the treat of all-you-can-drink serve-yourself water infused with lemon or cucumber. Yum. If you want "plain water" I think you might have to request that specially. Bother the flavors were subtle enough I think even finicky folks can handle it.
Warning: one crepe per person is sufficient. I expected street food style where we may want a couple each. Bad move. We discovered that three crepes for two people was far too much food.
I tried the Sunday Morning - which was just what I was hoping for on a Sunday morning, egg, seasoned potatoes, and cheese wrapped in a crepe. It was a yummy savory breakfast, but honestly, with such a hearty filling, the crepe itself kind of fades into the background. That said, I much prefer it to a standard omelet, primarily for the side bites of mostly crepe. I do love eggy crepes... I also tried The Avalon - pears, goat cheese, walnuts, and honey. The flavors of pear, goat cheese, and walnut were rich and delicious. However, the honey was a bit overwhelmingly sweet. I guess eating three bites instead of 30 at a time is better for me anyway. More for later!
Summary: great variety of food, friendly staff, ample creativity in dishes, good prices, I just wish the crepe to food ratio was a little higher. That's not enough of a deterrent to keep me away, though.
