Crêpe Bar
We are always looking for kid friendly restaurants in Phoenix and nothing makes me happier than finding a new, unique one!. I tire of the usual bacon and eggs fare and always want something a little more inventive for breakfast. Enter my new favorite breakfast place: Crêpe Bar.
Situated in a standard looking strip mall on the corner of Elliot and Rural, Crêpe Bar serves delicious coffee, an eye-widening array of baked goods and amazing crepes. As we waited at the counter to place our order, I couldn’t help drooling over all of the breads and cookies on display.
Do you notice the flavors? Nutella scones, Caramel Bacon Scones, Cherry Bacon Oatmeal cookies… all so unique and delicious sounding. We actually grabbed one of those cherry bacon oatmeal cookies for later. Surprisingly, it had a hint of spice to it. On another visit, we bought a Coffee cookie which was amazing!
After ordering, we easily found a table in the small space. Bear in mind, we arrived at 7:30AM on a weekend morning. By the time we left, the ordering counter had quite a long line.
We pulled a high chair up to the table for Dude and patiently waited for our meal. During our wait, a staff member brought us a little bowl of homemade cereal to munch on. It was sweet with the just the right amount of salt. I honestly could have had it for my meal instead of a crepe and be perfectly content.
When our crepes arrived, I was in awe.
My crepe was filled with veggies, curry and topped with a parmesean twist. Yes, salad for breakfast. That is how I roll.
My hubby chose one with chorizo and smoked gouda. The smoked gouda was mouthwatering! I liked this combination so much that I ordered it on a recent visit.
We ordered the kids a crepe stuffed with vanilla custard and strawberries. Llama is a bit of a picky eater and didn’t enjoy this combination.
Dude loved it though!
At the end of the meal, we were treated to deconstructed s’mores! Definitely a surprise. These were rose flavored marshmallows toasted at the table by blowtorch. I’m not a big fan of flower flavors in my foods. I have to draw the line somewhere. My hubby thought these S’mores were delicious though.
I absolutely love Crêpe Bar! We can usually persuade our daughter to go by mentioning the bakery items and if that doesn’t work, there is a filled croissant place immediately next door. I’ve learned that if my kids are not happy during my meal, it is guaranteed to be a miserable experience.
Crêpe Bar is a winner. Check them out at:

Oh that looks amazing! What an awesome alternative to typical breakfast fare!
That looks like such a fun spot! & I am drooling. Everything there looks like it was amazing!
Oh wow this place looks awesome!! My mom used to live in that area! Too bad I live a little too far north to go visit but if I am ever in that area I will have to stop by 🙂
It is so yummy 🙂 You won’t regret it!
I wish I had a crepe bar next to my house! This place looks amazing!
This place sounds so good! I love creative restaurants like this. Too bad it’s so far away from me.
I don’t have a Crepe Bar near me but that sounds amazing!
They are a local place, so if ever in Phoenix 🙂
What I’d do for a crepe right now! I used to get brownies and Netulla in mine <3
Brownies and nutella sound like an amazing combination! That would probably be good in ice cream too 🙂
I love crepes! Lemon crepes with powdered sugar and nutella! Yum!
That sounds amazing Melodi!
you’ve got me drooling! parmesean crispies are amazing and addicting.
plus those crepes… yum. we have a place by our house that makes this amazing strawberry brownie crepe. egads!
Strawberry brownie sounds delicious!
I love crepes, but it can be a big production to make them! Love that I could just go to a place and they do all the hard work!
Why oh why did I have to be put on a strict no sugar diet.
That is very sad 🙁
Ahhh I love exploring new-to-me places. I’m always on the hunt for the best ____(insert food type). So far I’ve found an AMAZING pizza place in one part of town, and on the other side of town – the best iced coffee I have ever had. Ever. Hands down.
My husband is a fan of crepes, and I mean – I am too, but not as much as he. The ones you photographed make me want to go there, though.
This place looks so yummy. I love crepes. When we were in Denmark we totally stopped for nutella street crepes almost every day. It was SO good and SO bad, hahaha.
Wow! This place looks yummy and you got some great photos! Thanks for sharing!
Oh how I wish we had one of these in Arlington!
There are more crepe places around here than I realized! Possibly you do!
You had me at crepes in the title, yum!
Aww yum! I love crepes. Chocolate and walnuts is my favourite filling 🙂
There was a crepe place in Orange County when I left. I loved going to it since the meals were lighter. But this place looks just as nice:)
Are you serious? How cool is that! I wish this place was near my house!
This looks yummy! There are a few places I love to go here in L.A. We really love a cuban restaurant for some good eats.
Oh my goodness this looks SO good!! I’ve had a lot of crepes in my life but I’ve actually never had a savory crepe. Yours looked SO good!
Love the idea of this place, it looks amazing 🙂
I just went there again on Sunday, Sarah 🙂 It was so amazing!
Love this blog! We are visiting AZ for 2 weeks staying in Scottsdale and this really helps me out since the hubby is working and the kiddos and myself are trying to stay occupied!
Yay, Luisa! I’m so happy to have you here! Sorry your visit is during our massive heat wave :/ Where have you gone so far?
