“We had crepes before but had forgotten how good they are,” he said.

The couple said what they enjoyed most about Crepes of Brittany was the French traditional style of crepes it offered.

Craving crepes?

Crepes of Brittany uses traditional French methods of cooking with buckwheat-based savory batter and crepe griddles from France. The eatery offers both sweet and savory crepes with two different types of batter made freshly every morning.


Each crepe is made to order with all ingredients made in-house, from the whipped cream to the caramel and sauces. Customer favorites include the ham, egg and cheese crepe and the strawberry cream cheese crepe.

“Our savory crepes [are] rendered buckwheat, so they're not pretty. They come out kind of brown, but it's really good,” Dan McKaughan said. “It just fits your proteins and your vegetables and stuff like that, but, but it's not for everybody, but I would say 98% of the people seem to enjoy it.”

The eatery also offers French breakfast, from traditional breakfast options such as Stacie’s Breakfast made with two eggs, house potatoes and two choices of meat between bacon, ham or sausage.
