Getting my Crepe fix at Crepevine!

Hellooo to all my foodies out there! It certainly has been awhile...I've missed all of you! 

Today, I wanted to write a quick post on a delicious gfree food adventure I went on with one of my good friends that I've had the pleasure of knowing since my freshman year at Cal. She was feeling particularly brunchy that evening and so my search for a place that serves brunch meals for dinner led me to a delicious find: Crepevine! 

An array of almost too much selection

 I had researched this restaurant previously to make sure that they would have gluten free options and when I saw that they did, I was one happy camper! 

Crepevine offers gluten free crepes, pasta and pancakes- a very pleasant surprise on my part! Although they offer tons of awesome gfree selections, they are very clear that their kitchens are NOT gluten free. There is a sign posted by the cash register that warns gfreers that there is a certain amount of cross contamination for gluten free crepes since they make it on the same stove as the wheat crepes. If you are very sensitive, it's best if you take caution before you eat anything here. I believe that this place also has salad options if you don't want to risk getting cross contaminated. 

I am fortunate that I am not that sensitive so I went ahead and got the gluten free crepe. Just FYI, the gluten free crepes are a $1 additional add on to whichever crepe you order. 

So I got a great suggestion from one of my other good friends to try the Santa Fe and so I did! The Santa Fe crepe has grilled chicken apple sausage with scrambled eggs, green onions, provolone and salsa fresca. I would say I enjoyed this crepe since I'm obsessed with chicken apple sausages (Ohmygodsogood)- however, it wasn't a woo hoo! instant favorite, but it definitely wasn't bad. I will certainly be back to try their other savory crepes.  

The Santa Fe with house potatoes and a side salad! HUGE PORTIONS! 

 My friend was also so kind as to treat me to a delicious gfree sweet dessert crepe called the Santorini. The presentation of the dessert crepe was lacking in my opinion, but the taste made up for that small hiccup. The Santorini has walnuts, pistachios, brown sugar, coconut, cinnamon and mascarpone wrapped in a lightly browned buttery crepe with a scoop of deliciously sweet and creamy vanilla ice cream and some soft whipped cream on the side. To tell you the truth, I was SO full at this point. But for some reason, no matter HOW full I am, there is always room for dessert. (:  

The Santorini- not a pretty presentation, but the flavor was SO amazing!!

 Many thanks to my beautiful friend, Jennifer, for feeding me delicious desserts and for her wonderful company! 

I think in the future all my profile pictures will be me posing with food. 

Until next time,
Kris
