    Awesome choices from sweet to savory. Very small so it can be a wait especially with the outside seating on a perfect SC day. Everything is fresh not huge portions but just enough. If you want a huge meal go to house of pancakes. This is  tasteful and the owner is always working hard to satisfy.

    This is a lovely little place where you can listen to the waves crash, people watch, surfer watch, and enjoy a nice meal and nice coffee.  There is charming bistro seating both indoors and out, and if you come early (8a-9am) the place is empty, but is consistently full around brunch time.  You've been warned.  

    I opted for the Farmer's Breakfast along with a side of two poached eggs and a cappuccino.  The meal was wonderfully satisfying, and exactly what I wanted, but the execution was mediocre.  

    For example, my poached eggs had partially light yellow, hard-cooked yolks along with runny egg white...I am not even sure how that is possible.  My crepe was cold and could have benefited from a warmed plate at least.  If you have ever had a bite of hot crepe on a chilly day in Paris, you can understand my disappointment.  I was sitting outside on a brisk morning and wanted that soul-warming feeling.  However, the orange-honey butter with the brie made the whole thing special and almost an entire orange sliced on the side made it feel ample.  

    The "traveler's breakfast" which is a crepe in maple syrup with a cup of coffee is a good budget option at $6.75 if you want to enjoy a little sidewalk dining but aren't flush with cash.

    Not so great.

    This place is nothing extremely special, but the crepe ( not the filling) is great! Perhaps to make this restaurant...superb...they should work on the filling.

    I got the the sauteed mushrooms filled with potatoes. It was $6.75. The crepe itself was delicious.  Soft and chewy, perfect texture.  Filling....nothing special.  They just give you this triangle shaped crepe filled with stuff, nothing on the side. No potatoes, no hashbrowns, no nothin'.  Because of the location  (eat while bathing in the sun and watching the surf? heck ya)i would come here again.

    BTW hate when places are cash only...

    I started off with a mocha, which was really good, and it came in a cute cup with one of those swirly designs (hey-- presentation counts, right?!).  I then switched gears and order a BBQ chicken croissant for lunch.  It was a little bit cold though, but I think they refrigerate the chicken before hand because our order came out super quick.  It was still tasty though!  It was also a good deal-- a decent sized sandwich and a generous side salad (for about $7-8 only).  I didn't finish my meal.  However, that's partly because I wanted to save room for a dessert crêpe!  I ordered the chocolate one, and it was very delicious.  I think I liked it better than my lunch!  :)  My friend and I went on a weekday morning and got there right at 11:00, and the place was empty.  We got very good service.  My only complaint-- and I should have known better!-- is that it's cash only.  Pooh.  Overall, though, good food, good service, good prices, and an incredible location/view!  I plan to come back!

    Hmmm... this is a bit of a tricky one. I return to it because of the exceptional location, the view, the sunny outdoor seating (well, after 10am, when the sun hits it) and the proximity to the beach trail. Should be a recipe for success, eh? But the service is always slow, the crepes are overpriced and mediocre, the "cash only" policy is irritating, and today just after ordering I heard the man behind the counter asking his fellow server (not joking) how to make an Americano. Erm...

    Why come here? It's one of the only crepe place in town! Service is ok a little slow. Seating is uncomfortable.  As for the food it's barely decent but not great.  Location is great just across from the beach just sit outside and enjoy the view while you eat the most crepes. Which means parking is a pain especially in summer. Just a tiny little place, super quaint.  I'm a huge fan of the smoked salmon and dill crepe but this last time we came there was barely any dill, it was a bit flavorless, and the crepes themselves are very thick and chewy not thin like French crepes are supposed to be. Which some people might like, like my husband but I'm not a fan. And then to top this off they only take cash.... HELLO WELCOME TO 2012! You can pay with your cell phone in some places. Who carries cash anymore? Dirty filthy nasty germ infested cash? They say it's because the credit card fees are too high that's just bs lets be honest. They just don't want to pay their taxes and claim the true amount of what they make. Well I'm not going out of my way to get cash just so they can avoid their taxes. Really the way I see it is if you don't take cards you don't deserve my business.

    Me and my hubby had sunday brunch (Smoked Salmon and dill etc) and Bacon, cheese, egg crepe. Both were awesome. Also tried their latte. Superb. I liked this so much.

    True to form, I order probably the one thing on the menu that disappoints.  Wanting something not loaded with bacon, and loving lox, I ordered the "Sunday Brunch" crepe -- smoked salmon, creme fraiche, red onion and tomato.  I make a pretty bad ass omelet along these lines, so had high hopes.  There was a generous serving of lox, but the tomatoes were unripe and bland, and the crepe was cold and chewy.  

    My breakfast companions did much better for themselves, ordering the mushroom crepe and bacon and egg crepes.  Apparently the chicken apple sausage crepe is also amazing.  I'd give it another chance, and probably damn trying to eat something healthy!  My experience was a 3-ish star one, but my friends would probably give 4.

    We intentionally arrived early (like 8:00 a.m.) because we knew the wait can be a beast.  As expected, a short while after we ordered a crowd formed with people waiting for tables.  So -- get here early for breakfast.  Also note that you don't have to pay for parking at the adjacent parking lot (just north) until 10:00 a.m.  At least, check the signs before paying.

    Yum yum yum.
    crepes.

    Savory sweet unique and traditional.
    It's all here folks.

    I went with a boring Bacon egg and Cheddar, but they made it even better with these 2 delicious side sauces.
    Tomato tapenade and an herb-chive spread.

    Those 2 little sauces made the boring (but tasty) bacon and eggs somethin special.

    And they gave me just the right amount of each! So perfect!

    The only drawback (for me) was no alternative to a crepe. (Yes I know its a creperie, but still, I like options).

    So if you are looking for a crepe on the beach, look no further!

    Woke up super early to venture out to San Clemente to enjoy the beach and possibly avoid the dry weather by the San Gabriel Valley mountains! =)
    I remember this cute little cafe when I once came for the Cappuccino and fell in love with this place. The coffee was sweet and very rich.

    There's always a wait and tons of people wanting the front patio seating for the view and we were fortunate to only have waited about 10 minutes. Because it's a small restaurant, you sit in tight quarters and pretty snugged in. But the view always make up for it!

    The best part was the crepes of course. We had the Croque Monsieur that came with thick slices of hand carved ham that tasted very fresh and the subtle sweetness just dances on your tongue!
    The melted gooey swiss cheese went really well with the eggs and the bechamel sauce was to die for! It helps to make the crepe from being too dry.
    Portion was good for one, but I could of gone for another one!

    The restaurant is burst with a vintage Parisian bistro feel. A rustic ambiance that's warm and inviting with a beautiful view. It's a great place to come, kick back, enjoy a cup of Joe and a bite of the savory OR sweet crepes! Definitely a place to check out.

    As good as it gets for a small locally owned cafe/ bistro.  I was impressed on a Saturday morning how many town folk would drop in for a cup of coffee to chat with the owner.  I was also touched how a local women vacated her seat at the espresso bar so a family could sit together.  The menu offers a mind boggling amount of crepes that would take a year worth of weekly visits to exhaust.  My wife had the bacon and egg crepes which was excellent.  I had the salmon crepes which I felt was a little bland.  But I still give five stars as the juju is fantastic with local owners providing service, unmatched location across from the beach, very reasonable prices and happy customers enjoying terrific espresso and company of their friends.

    Sooooooo GOOD!  I ate here twice while vacationing here but I would have gone daily if possible.  The Berry Feast, the Berry Blintz and another crepe (name?) that had honey butter, Brie and orange slices.  I had poached eggs on sourdough as well.  The orange juice is fresh squeezed.  Good service, outdoor seating and the relaxing vibe you should wake up to every morning!  Eating breakfast on their sidewalk patio while looking out to the Pacific, ocean breeze and waves crashing made breakfast here absolute perfection.  The only downside is that they only accept cash which we didn't know.  Luckily we happened to have enough, but it was inconvenient.  Still worth hitting the ATM first to eat here.  They've won awards and it's no wonder to me how they've earned it!  Only open for breakfast and lunch.

    Location, food, view, doesn't get much better than this!

    Really tiny place, but we somehow got a table right away on a Sunday morning.  Our crepes came out really quickly.  I ordered the berries and creme.  Berries, whipped cream, what is there not to like?

    The latte, delicious.  

    Guess in some ways it was better that this is a cash only place and I didn't have a lot of cash, or else I would have had to restrain myself from ordering a bunch more.

    Friday the 13th has a reputation and today lived up to it.  However, getting off Amtrack's Pacific Surfliner at the wrong station, San Clemente, proved to be a lucky mistake.  This petite hole-in-the-wall creperie is opposite the Amtrack station stop.  

    After kicking myself black and blue mentally for getting off the last southbound train and drying  a few tears of frustration laced with self-pity, there was this place.

    Try anything, it's all wonderful there.  The latte, turkey croissant sandwich and apple crepe were superb.  They more than made up for my botched getaway plans, and soothed my soul.  The 3-hour wait for a return train home just flew by like the gulls overhead.  

    Go and hang out there with the surf,  the passing trains, and the sweet guy behind the counter who discreetly left me to finish wiping my tears when he delivered my latte.

    The little place's one wall is plastered with glowing reviews from OC food critics and recent awards.   My  server said there were more but they couldn't find room to post all of them.  No need.  The food, and especially the crepes, speak for themselves.  Voila!   C'est magnifique!

    La Galette Creperie is my favorite breakfast spot in the South OC area.  My mother, a crepe fanatic, introduced me to this place a few years ago.  Since then, on nearly every visit back home, I come here for breakfast at least once.

    The breakfast menu consists of mostly sweet or savory crepes.  If I'm not too hungry, I keep it simple with the Farmer's Breakfast.  I also love the crepe with sauteed mushrooms and herbed potatoes (by default, it comes with jack cheese and bechamel sauce, but I usually nix the cheese and ask for the bechamel on the side).  And if you love lox/smoked salmon, check out the Sunday Brunch crepe.  If you have a sweet tooth, the berries and cream crepe hits the spot.  There are also sides like sausage, berries, and potatoes available.  

    Their drinks are also worth trying.  The coffee is delicious.  Their cappuccinos are large and beautifully made.  

    All this tastiness comes with a gorgeous view of the San Clemente Pier and the Pacific!

    A few notes:  This place is quite small, so on the weekends, there is usually a long wait.  Arrive bright and early!  This place is worth getting up at 7am on a Sunday for.  And...it is CASH ONLY.  Bring plenty.  This place can get pricey (by breakfast standards) in a hurry.

    I've eaten here since 2005, knew the original owner, and have met the current owner multiple times. The waitstaff doesn't remember me. Either that or they change frequently... Either way, I think at a little place like this you'd know a regular? Seven years of service? Just sayin!

    This review is for the restaurant, not the truck. It seems there are reviews here for both, so read carefully to avoid confusion. First, the prices have remained fair to slightly overpriced for many years. I think the restaurant is more pricey than the truck. Second, the service is okay to good, depending on who you get. Third, the sweet crepes, sandwiches, and salads are the best choices in my opinion.

    If you're in the mood for a breakfast crepe try the bacon, egg, and cheddar. It's the most reasonably priced for the amount of food and it is delicious. If you're in the mood for a salad, try the goat cheese salad and be sure to add chicken. It is a real chicken breast, seasoned, and yummy. That salad alone will cost you about $13, but it's really good, and the balsalmic vin is excellent. If you're in the mood for a sandwich, my ultimate go-to is the chicken fuji salad sandwich on a croissant. YUM! I like it with a side of fruit or the mixed greens salad w/balsalmic vin. For dessert, any of the sweet crepes are amazing.

    I also love their espresso drinks and coffee. The baristas are almost always above average and leave the Starbucks crew in the dust. I'm not sure if they still do, but they used to use this cool company in San Clemente owned by a local guy who used Italian beans and other products.

    What I learned from dining here: I do not like savory crepes. Either that, or savory crepes are really hard to do well.

    I Yelped what was good to eat in San Clemente and La Galette Creperie immediately caught my eye. I love crepes! And it's right by the San Clemente Pier so the location is pretty perfect.

    My mum and I found parking in the public parking lot up the street from this place and then we walked to it. It's pretty small but they offer both indoor and outdoor seating. And they have a clean bathroom! The decor of the place is interesting, to say the least. Some of it is cute and quirky, and some of it is just... why the heck is that here? o.O

    I ordered their Croque Monsier, the crepe version: hand carved ham and melted swiss cheese topped with bechamel sauce. Also got their Citrus Press drink because it sounded refreshing. It was, but it was too sour for me. Which actually ended up being somewhat helpful because it helped with the heaviness of the crepe. When I first got the crepe, I enjoyed it... but after a few bites, not so much. There was just too much ham in it for me (I know, I'm probably alone with that complaint). But ratios people, ratios! It completely overwhelmed the cheese and sauce. And it wasn't yummy ham either. Not a fan.

    My mum ordered their Sunday Brunch: smoked salmon, fresh dill, crème fraîche and slivered red onion, "the spirit of Sunday Brunch any time of the week". It was fitting because we came here for Sunday lunch! She had the opposite complaint as me--too LITTLE salmon. She couldn't taste it at all. And after one bite, she immediately added Tabasco. It was that kind of crepe. She made it very clear during lunch that she did not enjoy her crepe.

    The two ladies who were working while we were there were quite nice and we were seated pretty quickly, but then they took forever to come take our order. And they took a long time to give us the check as well (but it came in a little bucket, cute!). Please note that this place is cash only.

    I'm sad to give it two stars, especially when there are so many other high reviews on here, but that's how I feel about this place: MEH. But it could be because I didn't give any of their sweet crepes a try...

    Owner was extremely nice!! The turnover rate is quick even for the seats outside so
    You never have to wait long. The crepes are made to perfection - just like in France when I went. White chocolate mocha is amazing. You have to get the berries and cream crepe and the chicken apple sausage as well

    Great food, very small place. They only have a few tables. Seemed more like an indoor stand.

    We got the strawberry crepe, the mixed berry crepe, the cinnamon sugar crepe, the nutella/banana crepe, and all were amazing. Really, really good.

    Cons: they're not very filling so we ordered a lot, and it was expensive. They only take cash--a pet peeve of mine! 1 star docked for cash only and extremely limited seating.

    I've been here a number of times, and I've always thoroughly enjoyed the campfire crepe (basically a delicious orgasm of s'mores in a crepe), the berries and cream (really simple and delicious crepe, perfect for breakfast), the nutella crepes (it's nutella, how could it possibly go wrong?), etc. This place is perfect for breakfast or brunch, or even dessert, as their sweet crepes are an extensive part of the menu.

    However, I came here for lunch one day and ordered something off the savory menu (Friend and I had the caprese crepe, another friend had the ham crepe). The two of us agreed that the caprese was pretty awful and just didn't work, although my friend didn't mind the ham one. I don't think I'd come back for lunch. I'll stick to the sweet crepes for breakfast from now on.

    They also have good coffee and espresso. My friend ordered a white mocha and it came out just as she liked it.

    The interior is cozy and intimate, while the outside tables boast an incredible atmosphere and view being right across from the pier/ocean. This place is perfect for showing off visitors what we've got in San Clemente, but it's also good for maybe a  casual date (that view!) or a small get-together with a couple friends

    I was in San Clemente for a soccer tournament for my daughter. I yelped breakfast and ended up at La Galette.

    Location: wow, excellent! Right by pier. Parking wasn't too bad on a Sunday morning
    Service: 5 stars! We sat at the bar & we were truly pampered.
    Decor: eclectic, beachy, laid-back

    Food: I'm not a huge crepe fan, but I'm converted. Got the mushroom & potato. Yummy.
    Daughter got bacon & cheddar, also yummy. Soccer playing daughter got the berries & cream and seriously she said that it was a magical soccer crepe! She got a ton of energy from it. :)  I just got regular coffee--great stuff.
    Prices: great for the amt of food.

    I wanna go back!!!

    I had the chicken apple crepe and my boyfriend had the bacon egg and cheese crepe.  My chicken apple crepe was good but nothing spectacular.  The bacon egg and cheese crepe came with a tomato olive tapenade, which was very unique and good.  

    We had a nice breakfast enjoying our food outside and the beautiful view of the beach.  We also had good service and an overall good experience here.

    Delicious! I had a breakfast crepe (Santa Cruz) with eggs,
    Sauteed mushrooms, rosemary herbed potatoes, and melted monterey jack cheese with bechamel sauce. I exchanged the jack cheese for brie, yummy!  Then we had to have a dessert crepe as well. We had the dulce de leche crepe and OMG it was amazing! Thank goodness my friend and I shared this otherwise we both would've gobbled one up each, it was that good. I highly recommend this dessert crepe!  Oh one thing to remember, CASH ONLY!

    Who said that only L.A can enjoy the wonderful styling of the food truck scene?  Here we have San Clemente getting their food truck fix on with a Crepes truck.

    After a day of alcohol fueled San Diego drinking, you don't know how welcome a very thin pancake like shape really is after all that.

    It's also a good thing that this truck is fairly bright in the red colors. This way anyone can notice it from a distance.

    Like most crepe establishments they have a pretty good selection of savory and sweet.  You can go for the plain sucker with some powdered sugar and butter and that will go a long way. I did really enjoy the Dulce de leche Crepe.

    The next time I hit this truck up, oh and even though I'm not much of a desserts type of person, there will be a next time. I want to get myself a croque mousieur. Ham and melted swiss cheese topped with bechamel sauce? How could you refuse something that sounds so delicious?

    Prices are pretty much under $10 for a decent size meal and you can split it with two as it's more than enough food to suffice and it'll be a cheap and yet unique and very thoughtful breakfast that you didn't have to break a sweat over.

    or later night snack that you can at least soak up the alcohol with.

    This place was perfect.
    It's across the street from the beach and pier in San Clemente.
    The service was great, and their food is fantastic.
    I highly recommend their signature latte along with their Cheddar Bacon Crepe.
    If you're in the area, or passing through, it's definitely worth visiting. Even making an additional stop at an ATM to get cash. (Cash only).

    I've passed by this place so many times and made mental notes to visit. We finally did!

    The Santa Cruz crepe was okay, and better with some salt. I found it to be bland, which is good... giving me the option to salt it.

    My daughter found their Croque Madame to be a little dry.. .so did I. So we reordered a Berry Crepe with cream - delicious!

    4 Stars for location, prompt service, GREAT prices! We'll definitely be back to try their Sunday Brunch crepe.  The regulars also love their lattes - til next time!

    This place is dope. It's a tiny place right next to the pier. They know how to make good crepe's and latte's.

    My only complaint is that their portions are a little small. Big manly men like me need more food to satisfy our passionate lives.

    I've been frequenting a lot of food trucks in an attempt to "do a lot of LA-like things" without becoming a "LA-er"... and gave the La Galette crepe truck a try the other evening with a few friends.  It was damn good :)

    I don't eat meat, and La Galette caters to all eaters: A savory choice for meat-eaters and veg-heads and sweet crepes for dessert and nutella lovers.  Everything is organic, fresh, and sustainable... and super delicious.

    I had the brie, orange, and honey butter crepe and loved the gooey cheese and crisp fruit.  My friends both had the chicken/feta one and i was amazed by how big it was (especially since it was served quickly and was reasonably priced).  We all had fresh iced tea too which was great.

    I'll definitely come back to check out other days -- they have a rotating menu, based on the fruit/veg availability from their CSA which is kinda cool also...  It's more refreshing than some of the other food trucks out there.

    I hit up the La Galette Creperie truck on Abbott Kinney today and damn was it tasty and worth the drive from Silverlake.  I highly recommend the savory crepes, especially the chicken+apples+gorgonzola crepe!

    And of course, you can never go wrong with nutella+banana!!!  The crepes are made of buckwheat and oh so delicious!  Very friendly staff and quick service....and a nice alternative to the oily & greasy food served at the other food trucks!!!

    La Galette is just footsteps away from the beautiful San Clemente beaches, close to being a cool friends meetup point, but far from being a great creperie.  

    Maybe it was what I got: Croque monsieur crepe. Skimpy on the brioche and lacking that rich swiss cheese I was expecting.  Their ham tasted and smelled like rubber. Sort of reminded me of the smell from anatomy class.  Gross, I know.  Their rosemary potatoes were peppery and a few fork smashes away from mashed potatoes.

    What I did like was the atmosphere.  They have indoor seating and a few tables outside to enjoy the sunny Southern California weather.  If you order the latte, it comes out with a neat rosette design from the cream.  The little restaurant itself is cute.

    They take cash only--which was surprising considering that it's a place that caters to many people.

    Overall, not bad a place to meet up with good friends, but a bad place to meet up with good crepes.

    Oh God help me! I have been eating up a storm and this place is the fault! I adore crepes-ever since my first job as a hostess at an IHOP-crepes have always represented the finest in breakfast delights to me!  And this place just keeps all that going!

    I got there early this morning so I wouldn't have to sit on those flimsy looking little outdoor seats they have. I wanted to savor my breakfast on a plush indoor bench, and what a wonderfully cute little bistro. Painted in pinky and salmon colors with art work on the walls-La Galette Creperie is dinky so I can see how it can easily get over-crowded, but it is very charming . I heard the waitress talking and she said Thanksgiving Day was a madhouse! No doubt!

    Yes-it's true the coffee is fantastic. Normally I insist on a daily Starbucks but La Galette makes it STRONG like they do in Europe.
    I ordered the Latte like everyone raves about and it was tres fantastique! With a coffee chaser. Then the crepes came-and they are P E R F E C T!  Light and delicate, with a side of whipped creme and a fresh selection of berries dusted with powdered sugar-OMG-mouth watering is not good enough to describe how wonderful they taste!

    If I ever make the mistake of moving up to San Clemente, I would need to be restrained from coming here a lot and losing whatever hot body I still manage to barely maintain! This is the best place to eat by a landslide- and the next best thing to actually being in France-savoring la delicat de crepeire et la latte moi bien! The beautiful San Clemente beach across the street is just icing on the proverbial cake!
    Warning: CASH ONLY!

    I was browsing for places to eat in San Clemente because I was going to be in the area.  This place got some really good reviews from fellow yelpers, so I really wanted to like this place.

    ...

    But I didn't.

    Granted.  It is located right across the street from the ocean, and if you sit outside, you can smell the nice ocean breeze as you eat your meal.  However, that seemed to be the only upside to this place.  When we first walked up, we were instantly a bit confused about the seating.  Should we seat ourselves, do we go inside and ask.  It was all quite ambiguous, but finally, we just decided to take a seat outside where we wanted to be seated anyways to enjoy the nice view.  

    We decided we were only in the mood for savory crepes because we had already decided to get dessert somewhere else.  Crepes because you can't go to a crepe place and not have crepes.  Only ordered two between the three of us because we weren't that hungry.  However, their assortment of savory crepes weren't all that appetizing, and after weighing out the options, we got one with chicken and the other with salmon.  The chicken one was ok, but the salmon left  taste in our mouths that almost ruined the experience for us.

    I have to admit that the service was good (after the whole seating thing that is), and we got our food pretty fast.  They get a star for that, and the scenery, and that's pretty much it.  I hate to say it, but two stars is just because I'm feeling nice today.  I've tried better, and I probably won't come back.

    Awesome, flavorful food in a cozy french cafe-like, neighborhood setting.  They specialize in crepes that are delicious, but you can order any of the crepes as a sandwich or salad.  

    Love the barbecue chicken made with fresh mozzarella, or the chicken salad with fresh tarragon.  It's casual fare w/ gourmet flavor.

    Oh, and the location boasts cute patio tables with an ocean view, it's right across from the San Clemente pier.

    La Galette is a nice little restaurant.  If you're looking for a change from the biscuit and hash brown places this is perfect.  Service was very nice with, on our visit,  an attentive French woman serving us.  

    La Galette's strength and weakness is that it serves everything as a crepe, breakfast crepes, dinner crepes, and so on.  For our recent breakfast the table had fillings of eggs and ham, eggs and sausage, eggs and well you get the idea.  All were good but after awhile the tastes all ran together.  The coffee deserves special mention as it was heavenly.

    In the end it was a nice experience.  Will I run back? Probably not until I'm ready for a change or I want a really good cup of coffee.

    Solid food, solid service and not a destination, 3 stars.

    First and foremost, they only accept cash.  Do not fret, the market just two stores down has an ATM with a 2 buck fee.  Are they in cahoots?  haha.  

    That being said, when I first found this place I wanted to keep it quiet for as long as possible.  I didn't ever want to have to wait for a savory crepe on a nice Saturday morning while sipping my perfectly designed mocha.  The first time we went, we talked with the owner.  I had told her about this crepe place up in San Fran that we loved.  She knew of it and said we would love her place more.  That we do.

    All of the savory crepes are delicious.  The salads are good.  But the best and the must have is the Campfire.  I will add a little story here to impress upon you just how delectable it is.

    I took a 12 year old girl with me to La Galette Creperie after bragging about its food.  She is a hard kid to impress and is always worried about image.  So we eat our savory crepes and salad, then I ask Campfire??  Now, she had already noticed the cute young teenager surfer boy outside; so she hesitated and said ok, but I only want a bite or two.  

    It arrives.... she pokes at it, then takes a small bite.

    2 minutes later, chocolate all over her mouth.  I kid you not.  She still talks about that crepe.  So yummy.
