Crepe Creation Cafe

Here and there, I will mention the struggle Mark and I have with eating out.  Namely, we shouldn't, but we do anyway.  It's really difficult to be good when there are so many amazing restaurants in the surrounding area.  One of my co-workers was kind enough to clue me in to a place I hadn't been before.  I'm not one for trying new things, but when I heard it was a crepe place, I knew Mark would like it.  In defiance of our attempts to  not eat out, I felt it was my duty to introduce Mark to the Crepe Creation Cafe.

Please, do not be alarmed.  That is not the

actual Eiffel tower.

Located in the Market Common, the Crepe Creation Cafe is exactly what it sounds like.  It's a place that makes crepes.  The entire menu is served all day long.  This allows you to enjoy the breakfast crepes, savory crepes, or dessert crepes whenever the urge strikes.  For those wondering, the savory crepes are more like regular meals.

The cafe isn't overly large, and when we were there, the girl said we were her first customer since three that afternoon.  I can only imagine that is because more people don't know about this place.  While it may not be large, it is welcoming.  The young lady working was extremely friendly and allowed me to take as many pictures as I wanted.

After much agonizing over the menu, Mark and I decided on two different crepes from the savory category.  I opted for the gyro one, as I knew Mark really wanted it.  He decided to order the chicken salad crepe.  We knew we wanted dessert as well, so the young lady was kind enough to not close out our bill.

Now, comes the fun part.  These are fresh made crepes.  They make them when you order them.  Have a special order?  That's not a problem.  You can actually design your own crepes as well.

That is the size I expected the crepe to be.

I learned something...crepes are actually 

supposed to be quite large.

It appears to be an art form.  I couldn't do this.  I would have burnt my hand, burnt the crepe, and then thrown the crepe on the floor.

Just gorgeous.

They make one crepe at a time.  Once the actual crepe is finished, they spin around and add the necessary filling.  Different ones may be served up differently, but the two savory ones we ordered were folded up like burritos.

I believe this is the gryo.

You can pick them up with your hands; the crepes are actually pretty sturdy.  Stuffed with lamb, cucumbers, lettuce, and tzatziki sauce, the gryo was pretty good.  I don't care for lamb, so it was a silly order on my part.*  Mark's chicken salad one had chicken salad and lettuce.  The chicken salad had grapes in it too; I had never had grapes in my chicken salad before.  I was pleasantly surprised.

Mmmmm.

We devoured both of our savory crepe creations.  Luckily, we still had room for dessert.  Since there are quite a few choices, we started the arduous process of narrowing it down to only two.  We finally settled on the bananas foster and the blueberry farm choices.**

There is blueberry compote and sweet 

cheese hiding in there.

Now, there are probably a great many people that would have loved the blueberry farms crepe.  I, however, was not one of them.  The sweet cheese contains ricotta, which I do not care for.  I knew that ahead of time, but I've been trying to broaden my horizons.  It's a very filling dessert though, which I'm sure most people would love.  Just avoid it if you do not like ricotta cheese.***

It kind of looks like a weird pizza thing

stuffed with bananas and drizzled

with caramel.  Yum.

Far and away our favorite dessert of the night, every bit of the bananas foster crepe was consumed.  It was very sweet, but it wasn't too much.  They actually sprinkle brown sugar inside it too.  Mark paired it with a serving of coffee that was delicious.****

In the future, we will definitely be returning to Crepe Creation Cafe.  It was a unique experience, and the food was great.  We can't wait to go back and try different crepes.  Heck, I want friends and family to visit just so I can take them there.

*I knew Mark wanted it.  I was being nice.

**It was blueberry something.  I could be off on the name.  Don't judge me...I'm too lazy to go find my menu and double-check.

***Yes, I realize that would be common sense, but where is your sense of adventure??

****Usually, Mark has a dash of coffee with his cream and sugar, but he took it black at Crepe Creation Cafe.  He said it was that good.
