On the other hand, their savory crêpes are to die for. The Breast O’ Pesto combines chicken breast, pesto, onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheddar for a truly special crêpe. Another favorite is the classic Foolish Craig (Yum Bacon), which combines bacon, mushrooms, onions, roasted red peppers, and house potatoes topped off with eggs and salsa.

Finally, they have a Butter Rum Caramel Crêpe Cake, which is a favorite of Guy Fieri and was featured on Triple D.
