Yesterday I had the chance to visit a place that is now very near and dear to my heart. And my stomach. My husband has been raving about this place since his little mini trip to the city a few weeks ago, and he just HAD to take me there. Now I know why. Put simply? Amazing. Delish. Outstanding. A place that makes you sing with delight as you chew.

I had never had a crepe before I entered the doors of Crepes on Cole in San Francisco. However, I can guarantee you that my first crepe, will not be my last crepe, now that I have experienced the joy.

 

I had a grilled chicken sandwich on a baguette with a side of the house potatoes(red potatoes with rosemary, holy delicious good), and mixed green salad. Mr. Squish had the french toast which I would have liked to have gotten a picture of but we didn’t think of it until after the demolition derby happened on his plate. Apparently it was good.

After lunch we had a banana (banana, cinnamon, brown sugar with whipped cream, thankyouverymuch) dessert crepe with a side of vanilla bean icecream. It was really…well, in heaven, I will eat banana crepes all day.

This is not the banana dessert crepe with a side of vanilla bean icecream because well…again, we inhaled it with the speed of  a fat kid with candy running from his teacher. This is a picture of the Raspberry Blintz.  They serve Savory AND dessert crepes at Crepes on Cole, and from the looks of it, both are extremely popular.

One of the best things about Crepes on Cole isn’t a crepe at all. It’s the owner. I had the chance to meet Sam, who had welcomed my husband a few weeks ago. Sam is quite popular amongst the patrons, and it wasn’t unusual to hear every person going in and out of the doors to greet him by name. He came and sat with us and talked with us awhile. And let me tell you, Sam is a very fun guy to talk to! While we talked, he offered me a coffee on the house- and if you know me, you know that one thing I don’t turn away is coffee. He made me a cappucino.

It was heavenly. Sam was about as nice of a guy as you can find. A guy that you want to give your business to, because, aside from making out of this world crepes, he’s a genuine guy.

Sam was such a nice guy, that he offered to make me another banana crepe, and Ed another french toast so I could get a picture for my blog. He’s just cool like that. I assured him that I would tell all of you dear squishies just how amazing his place is, and what an awesome guy owns the place!

So, for anyone taking a little vaycay to San Francisco, I HIGHLY recommend you stop there. You won’t regret it.

Here’s the info: 100 Carl St. at Cole St. San Francisco, CA 94117  (415) 664-1800.

And to Sam: Thank you for making our day just wonderful- filled with great food and lovely laughter! You’re a gem Sam!
