I was battling on sweet vs. savory, but since I also wanted to try a Whiffies Mounds “booger pie”, I went for savory. I went for the ham & gruyere with a fried egg. The fried egg is extra, so that was another dollar added to the price. Watching the crepe being made was great, and the lady in the cart had Kanye West’s “Monster” blaring. When the Nicki Minaj verse came on: boo-yaaaaa!

The quality of the crepe was quite good, and I could imagine what it would be like in a sweet setting. I think maybe I expected the gruyere to be completely melted as I bit into it, but instead it was cold. It was not unpleasant, it just caught me by surprise but then I thought “at least I know it was refrigerated”. There was a nice mayo-type spread on it that made it taste like a deli sandwich, and maybe that was the point. It really was like a good sandwich, but nothing really jumped out at me as it being too special or exceptional. I think I would’ve liked it a bit more had I added some hot sauce, although the spread that was on there had a nice bite and may have weirded out the flavor already present.

With that said, I will return again one day to try one of their sweet crepes. This week, they’re currently running a special on the sweet side involving chevre, coffee cream, and chocolate.

Short version: maybe my expectations were a bit high as a fan of crepes, and I was not blown away by my first savory crepe here. I will return to try a sweet crepe one day, and perhaps it will make me a fan as I want to be.

I ordered a veggie one and had the privilege of watching the guy burn it in right in front of my eyes. He clearly didn’t know what he was doing. After putting the batter on the stone, he couldn’t find all the ingredients he needed so he just left it there while he went searching. All the while, the crepe got darker and darker until it was several shades darker than any other crepe I’d seen come out of that place.

At that point, the girl taking orders had to intervene. She looked at both the crepe and him with a strange look (I think she knew he screwed up bad, but she didn’t want to scold him right in front of everyone). But rather than tossing it, she hands him the rest of the ingredients, he finishes up, and lo and behold the burnt crepe is mine order.

Fortunately, it didn’t taste that burnt, but the texture was messed up and the overall flavor was quite bland. My GF ordered a crepe with salmon in it and hers was also quite bland (although at least it wasn’t burnt).

I’m willing to believe the some people might have gotten good crepes, but this stand clearly has a big problem with quality control. For the cost, I expect a lot more consistency. This cart gets a big thumbs down from me. I would not order a savory crepe from them again.
