Crespella The Creperie

Mmm Mmm Mmmm! There is a well kept secret of the crepe variety here in Cape Town. I walk by it several times per week, and had attempted to visit twice already without success, but recently was able to grab breakfast at Crespella. It is just a small café here in Obz, and the whole place couldn't be more straightforward.

It is owned by an adorable old Bulgarian couple, and apparently they just have a passion for crepe-making. They serve a pretty varied selection of savory and sweet crepes (or rearry rearry fin pancakes, for those Talladega Nights fans). I counted over 30 different types on their menu.

The first one I got was the peanut butter, banana, and chocolate crepe. Delicious. Then I got the apple, cinnamon, and cream crepe. Delectable.

I don't know, I just particularly like this place because it is so simple. It is literally just one room with two tables, and the couple makes your crepe right in the room for you, and stores their ingredients in the fridge behind the counter. The man even warned me not to get crepes somewhere else, because they make them, freeze them, and microwave them in the secret back room that Crespella does not have. I was amused, and it felt almost like my great-grandma Nygaard was cooking for me. I went back the other day and got the special Thai Chicken Curry Crepe. That one was scrumptious.

As far as the hours go, they'll close up at four or five, whenever works, but he said he'll stay until 7:00 if enough people want his crepes. The prices are cheap too, since I got both of my servings for about $5.50 with tip. I wish we had more places like this is Madison. As many of you know, I love food, so this place deserved a post.

Making my second helping.
