        <content>Hi everyone! I'm looking for a tip on where to find the best crepes in Los Angeles - sweet and non-dessert crepes. Originality is a plus.

Any suggestions?</content>

      <content>i like the crepes that are served at Metro Cafe in culver city.

you have your choice of toppings/fillings.
i highly recommend getting the crepes with their homemade raspberry jam . . . .

Metro Cafe 11188 Washington Place Culver City 310-559-6821
they are closed mondays.

you can get  a 'japanese style' crepe made (one huge crepe, not very eggy), at kc's crepes in westchester.  they have a huge variety of toppings/fillings.  the crepe is folded up and served in a paper cone in a basket.

i WANT to adore this place because it is practically walking distance from my home,  but i find myself in my car driving to metro. i like the eggy french-style crepes that are served folded over on a real plate more.</content>

      <content>I was first introduced to crepes in LA at the 3rd street farmer's market in the grove. It's a stand, and I can't remember the name of the place. But it's right in the middle of the market, easy to find, and inexpensive. As I recall, the crepes were delicious (sweet and non-dessert sort). It certainly hooked me on eating more crepes!</content>

      <content>Sorry, I have to correct here, because this particular idea always makes me a little sad.  The 3rd Street Farmer's Market is not *in the Grove*.  It's a separate entity (and a thriving, bustling one at that), that was around for a good 70 years before the Grove came and plunked itself down next door.  I once had a coworker refer to it as the Grove's Food Court, and I cried a little inside.  It's *so* much more.  

Anyways.. the name of the crepe place is the French Crepe Company, and yes, their crepes are pretty damn good. there's a menu here:

      <content>The crepes at French Cr&#234;pe Company is okay, but not spectacular.  It was kinda interesting to sit next to David Spade while eating my gigantic crepe (yes, they're on the large-ish side), but Houndishly speaking, the crepe itself was not that great.

My favorite is the Grand Marnier crepe at Cr&#234;pes Dusigne, in the Olympic Collection (Olympic &amp; Sawtelle).

      <content>I'll have to try the sweet crepes at Crepes Dusigne.  The savory crepes did not impress me, kind of boring and I thought pricey for what it was.  Actually, the crepe itself is good, the fillings--eh.

Agree about the savory crepes at French Crepe co.  Really not that great.

I like the sweet crepes at Crepe Vine in Pasadena.</content>

      <content>Acadie on Arizona in SM is terrific - the owner occasionally works a stand at the Wednesday farmer's market, as well.</content>

      <content>If you include the So Bay and Long Beach in your definition of Los Angeles, there's Creme de la Crepe (Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach), which is very good, and La Creperie in Belmont Shore, Long Beach.  </content>

      <content>I'd have to disagree--I thought the food there was plain awful. I felt nauseated and goose pimply after I left.

      <content>I am not sure about the "best", but the new Creperie on 3rd St, where Michelia used to be is pretty darn good, and definitely better than La Creperie, KC Crepes, and as good as the Santa Monica Sunday Farmer's market stand.  </content>

      <content>Crepe Nazi's crepes are decent, but nothing spectacular taste-wise.  I still vote for  Cafe Dusigne, right around the corner, for excellent straight-up quality crepes.</content>
