Crepes A Go-Go on 11th Street (B)

Usually about once a week the cast of "Pearls Over Shanghai" or "Hot Greeks" (which just closed last weekend) visits this place after a show.* It's yummy and cheap. The ingredients are fresh. I usually get the chicken crepe (with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, w/or w/out cheese), or the one with eggplant (feta, peppers, a bunch of veggies), or my new favorite, which I had last night, the Turkey, cheese and pineapple.

* FYI-I'm on a limited gluten and sugar diet, but once a week a crepe is okay.

Another crepe place that I enjoy, but haven't been to in a while is right by my house. Genki Crepes on Clement Street, which I'm sure I'll review at some point.

A crepe place where I did not have a good experience and will never be back to is Creperie Saint Germain at 1st and Howard. A few months ago I went there and then I wrote a yelp review. It is below:

Creperie Saint Germain (F)

I went here expecting "buckwheat crepes," which is what they advertise. I have to limit my intake of gluten due to health reasons, so this sounded great. Buckwheat doesn't have gluten.

I ordered my crepe... I wanted a chicken crepe. I was told that the chicken is mixed with mushrooms and it's really good so I should just try it. I say okay, though I think most of the time mushrooms are kind of gross. Mushrooms inseparable from chicken: strike 1

I get my crepe. It's hot on the outside and ICE COLD on the inside. I'm talking, like, the chicken and mushroom mixture is still frozen in some parts. Totally gross! Also, the "chicken" is like mince meat. It's all chopped up really tiny and there were big chunks of fat, too (which I thought maybe the mushrooms were mixed with to camouflage). Out of desperation and hunger I ate a portion of my crepe anyway. Bad quality and not fresh: strike 2 & 3.

At about 1/3 of the way through my crepey disappointment, I hear the woman in the cart talking to the couple after me who ask about the buckwheat batter..."Oh, it's a mixture of buckwheat and regular wheat flour." Oh, that's nice to know: strike 4.

Skip this place if you can and go to Crepes a Go Go on 11th. They use regular wheat flour, but their crepes are actually good and fresh.
