Sweet Paris Creperie

Crepes are a wonderful treat and can be either savory and sweet. I have passed the Sweet Paris Creperie frequently and have always wanted to try it but finally got around to trying it. It has a tiny patio out front and the rest of the restaurant is tucked away behind it. This is a great little place that is nice and airy where you can sit back and relax. It was quite busy when I went for breakfast which was a bit surprising since I didn't expect crepes to be a huge breakfast food. Clearly, I am a bit behind on the food scene. You walk into the dining area and then around the corner is where you order and can see them making the crepes in front of you. The only bad thing was that they didn't have any Wifi, so keep that in mind if you wanted to go there and study. However, the yummy hot chocolate and giant (but delicious) crepe made up for it.

While checking their hours online, I decided to preview the menu. My eye was caught with the word "Nutella".... and then I read that it was Nutella hot chocolate. Talk about chocolate goodness in a cup! This was something that I needed to check out. It came out and the aroma of chocolate hit me. There was chocolate froth on top mixed with whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle. It was a rich chocolate taste that was laced with Nutella. It wasn't overly sweet as it seemed that that sweetness came from the Nutella and the whipped cream. Sometimes with flavored hot chocolate, the flavor is sweet and then they add more sugar which makes it out of control sweet. The nuttiness from the hazelnut seemed to shine even more, so this was definitely a most welcome treat.

 I ordered the "Le Mexicain", which had two scrambled eggs, refried beans, avocado and cumin-cinnamon spice carnitas topped with chipotle salsa, cilantro and queso fresco. The crepe was light and fluffy and there wasn't too much extra crepe. They definitely got the stuffing to crepe ratio right. They also have a vegan, gluten and dairy free batter that you can get. This crepe was a different take on breakfast burritos and I have to admit it was most enjoyable. The carnitas were packed with flavor and super tender. You could taste the hint of cumin and the cinnamon in the background. The salsa added a hint of spiciness, the cilantro was fresh and the queso fresco added a little bit of salt. This was a very harmonious combination of flavors and I will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu. Even if you don't like crepes, they also have some salads and paninis. If you haven't made it to Sweet Paris Creperie, grab a book and head on over for a wonderful meal.
