REALLLLLLY!!!! Finally! Japanese style crepes in Vegas?!?!?
For those of you who are so loveable that you have read my reviews in other states, you know I have a thing for hand held crepes. My favorite place is Sophie's in San Francisco's Japantown, a place I went daily on my most recent Bay Area vacation (I posted a pic with my review of my eating the coveted green tea ice cream red bean paste matcha sauce crepe). Then last summer in Seattle, I made my co-vacationers go to a mall just so I could try Unicone.
Needless to say, I had no idea based on the picture on yelp that the crepes would be hand held. I just went because I knew it would at least smell good in a place that makes crepes and waffles! Heading in there today, I learned that Crepe Shack opened 3 days ago. Owner Li is a young entrepreneur with a big colorful space and lots of restaurant experience. We talked at length about the business idea, his support of other new businesses and food trucks, and sushi (because we all love it mmm).
He is working out supplier issues so more toppings and ice cream flavors are to come, but for now, there is still a great selection. I enjoyed a crepe with fresh strawberries and kiwi, shredded coconut, and almonds. It was a really good treat, sweet and tasted healthy. Li told me the batter is meant to taste fortune-cookie-esque, and it did. This is a really fun place for a "healthy sweet tooth" craving. If you track me down at the Yelp Seats kickoff on Tuesday, Li gave me a stack of 15% off cards that I can hand out! Bon appetit!
