Malheureusement, I did not enjoy my savory crepe here. All of the baked goods looked great, it was a very cute locaton and the... staff was friendly. They also have nice outdoor seating. The crepes look right, but anyone who has had a good Brittany stylecrepe would be disappointed. I will say that it was better than a place I went to in Montreal that specializes in this style ofcrepe, the flavor of the batter is better here, they just didn't execute well enough in my opinion. San Francisco had anamazing place called Ti Couz which spoiled me, not to mention a trip to Brittany and having my first crepe at a place that myhost ate at for years. I'm sure he knew the best place in the area after vacationing there for so long. Needless to say, mycrepe standard is HIGH. The crepe on my complète was thick and tough, it wasn't thin and crisp, but it was hard and crunchy ina couple of very over cooked spots. The egg was over cooked too so I didn't even get the runny yolk to add some moisture andcreaminess to the crepe (see the pic, there should be a well of yellow oozing goodness but it is quite solid). The bechemelcrepe was a little better because it had some sauce and perhaps the crepe was less over done. The salad on the plate was verynice with the traditional French vinaigrette. I might try again as it could have just been a bad day or the wrong personmanning the crepe stand. That would be more likely for me if they were open for dinner because my fave thing to do is get myown savory crepe and split a dessert crepe, but that's a lot of food for breakfast or lunch. Perhaps I'll just pop in for adessert crepe sometime. I appreciate what they are trying to do, but maybe I was looking forward to this experience too muchas I hadn't even known such a place existed in Pittsburgh. C'est la vie Read more
