Loading ...Crepes Worth The Wait
Posted by Foobooz on December 17th, 2008
It might take forever but Adam Erace finds that Cafe L’Aube is worth the wait.
Feather-light and tissue-thin, L’Aube’s lovely crepes washed out the bad taste. Cooked on a traditional circular griddle, blended wheat and buckwheat batters formed the sweet and savory canvases for ham, mushrooms and Swiss; sliced turkey, crushed walnuts and a drizzle of honey; simple cinnamon-sugar brightened with lemon; and the classic crepe trio: strawberries, bananas and the cure to all the world’s problems, Nutella.

When I first went to L’Aube mid-November, they had the most amazing service I’ve ever received at a coffee shop. With my coffee came a tiny foil wrapped chocolate, a tiny foil wrapped biscuit, a tiny platter with a tiny bowl full of turbinado sugar and a tiny milk pitcher filled with cream. I was in transports of delight.
I came back to L’Aube a week or so ago with a friend and we did not receive the same awesome tiny service, but the crepe I had was fantastic and kind of made up for it.
