$$ – moderate…for crepes (but under $10, so technically cheap), 3.5 stars
I’ve never actually ordered my own crepe here (was so tempted though), but my friends have gotten sweet and savory crepes, and I’ve taken bites out of both. When I first passed by, I felt that their food was a little pricey, but hey, it’s Santa Monica and they’re crepes. I also think I have the misconception that crepes aren’t filling enough, therefore think that crepes are overpriced, but these definitely had the potential to be enough for lunch and maybe even dinner.
One friend got the typical nutella and fruit, but as one reviewer noted, they also step beyond the traditional to include grand marnier, coconut, etc. The second friend ordered a chicken and cheese crepe with some dressing (so good!). The crepe itself was not too thin and slightly crispy, yum. It’s a delicious order-to-go that isn’t too messy and only requires one hand; necessary when you’re out shopping on the Promenade!

EXCELLENT crepes. This is my second time to this wonderful creperie and they get it right every time. There are 3 things I look for in each crepe:
1) Thickness of pancake base: thin yet thick enough to wrap ingredients in a small bite
2) Innovative ingredients: most creperies have “the works” (nutella, banana, strawberry) but not many offer grand marnier, rum, coconut, or cognac in their crepe
3) Taste of the ingredients that compliment each other: even though you think nothing can get better than adding a little nutella, imagine biting into chunks of hazelnut drenched with grand marnier
You can enjoy their great drink menus (coffee, non-alcoholic, alcoholic) with your crepe. I especially like their martinis and coffees (illy’s). If you aren’t feeling sweet-toothed, you can also get a wide variety of panini, baguette, or other savoury crepes (eg. made with egg, cheese, ham, tuna, chciken, smoked beef, etc)
This little bar/lounge can’t be situated at a better place. It’s located right on the corner of Broadway and 3rd Street promenade (the ultimate outdoor shopping street) across from the Macy’s parking lot. Park in Macy’s structure since the first 3 hours are free but (shhh…) no one checks even if you park more than 3 hours! No validation ticket necessary. However, there is a $3 parking fee after 5pm… so go around 4:30pm to catch the Santa Monica sunset!
Remember to drop by the world famous Santa Monica Pier and do a little shopping spree on 3rd Street promenade!
