Crespelle - Vail

Crespelle is a small place in the village in Vail served beer and sweet and hearty crepes, including egg-filled options for breakfast, as well as coffee and cold-pressed juices from Colorado. Although you can roll yourself, and all sweet crepes on their menu are vegetarian, the only vegetarian option they advertise is the “Rabbit Food” that gives you the sense that they are not necessarily in vegetarian sensitivity. I rolled my own and had a Yard Sale Crepe (alias building my own with Gruyere and a Kale and Spinat mix. It tasted great, although there was a little light on the kale and spinach. There is a nice selection of “Pressery” juices (made in Colorado . I had the green Zinger juice that was also great. They serve nice-looking drinks at the bar (although I was there at noon, which is not the best drink time for me). There is not so much space to sit (and they had the chairs on the top of the inside tables, so it looked like they didn't want you to sit there. but there is a beautiful terrace out there that was nice to sit in mid-July. (I am not sure how my wimpy California sensitivity would sit outside in the heart of the winter season. Crespelle is good for a fast and tasty bite, and probably also for your daily drinking needs. The crepes were legit.

My rating is solely based on the crepes. While there are many food options available, we tried two different crepes, and both were delicious. The strawberry crepe (as shown in this image) was light, fluffy, and full of flavor. However, the downside of this place is the seating arrangement. It primarily functions as a bar and has only about three or four tables. So if you have a large family, finding a place to sit might be a challenge.

Crespelle is an excellent spot for a tasty, warm, and budget-friendly lunch in Vail. The Rabbit Food Crepe is a fantastic vegetarian choice, and we also loved the GNAR and Taos Crepes. If you're having trouble finding Crespelle, it’s located inside 7 Hermits Brewing!

The food was incredible! The chefs were friendly and patient with all their dishes. Be sure to grab a mimosa or a beer in the afternoon. They also serve crepes.
