Old Town Creperie in Flagstaff, Arizona

Old Town Creperie
120 N Leroux St (in the alley behind the Old Town Shops by Uptown Billiards)
Menu online at oldtowncreperie.net

This outdoor-ish spot has a vintage feel with crepes and more crepes on the menu. Old Town Creperie is what I call an indoor/outdoor eating experience. It has two walls the others are open for what amounts to a quaint covered patio tuckd out of the hustle and bustle but still right in the thick of things.

This is the place to go in Flagstaff for a French experience. Crepes may be like pancakes (kind of) but they're not just for breakfast back in the Old World. They're for anytime of day and the hours and menu of Old Town Creperie reflect that with "Sweet" and "Savory" selections that take you from a late breakfast to lunch, dinner and dessert. They're open basically only outside of snow season - from late spring (generally April) through early November, Sundays 10-4pm, Wednesdays thru Saturdays they open at 11am and close at 7pm Wednesday and Thursday and at 9pm on Friday and Saturday.

The classic here is the Genevieve with a nice lemony light taste but not too sweet topped with a raspberry puree and whipped crème. Make it more of a dessert stop with the Leroux filled with Nutella, chocolate chips and other goodies. If you’re willing to get your mind past a pancake-ish meal being sweet, then try one of their “Savoy” crepes with meats and cheeses like the Grilled Chicken Spinach with a béchamel sauce or the Frankie with organic egg, cheddar, tomato, spinach and a white sauce. The Creperie has a large selection and something for everyone to try. You can find a full menu on their website.
