Crespelle

Crespelle was an awesome spot for a delicious, hot, affordable lunch in Vail. The Rabbit Food crepe was a great vegetarian option and we also enjoyed the GNAR and Taos crepes. If you're having trouble locating Crespelle, note it's inside 7 Hermits Brewing!

Crespelle is a small place in the village in Vail serving beer and sweet and savory crepes, including egg-filled options for breakfast, plus coffees and cold pressed juices from Colorado. Though you can roll your own, and all the sweet crepes on their menu are vegetarian, the only vegetarian option they advertise is the “Rabbit Food” which gives you the sense they’re not necessarily into the vegetarian sensibility. I did roll my own and had a Yard Sale crepe (a.k.a. a build my own) with gruyere and a kale and spinach mix. It tasted great though it was a little light on the kale and spinach. There’s a nice selection of “Pressery” juices (made in Colorado). I had the Green Zinger juice which also was great. They serve nice looking drinks at the bar (though I was there mid-day which is not prime-drinking time for me). There’s not so much space to sit inside (and they had the chairs upside down on top of the inside tables so it looked like they didn’t want you sitting in there.) but there’s a nice patio outside which was lovely to sit in in the middle of July. (I’m not sure how my wimpy California sensibility would feel about sitting outside in the heart of winter’s ski season. Crespelle is good for a quick and tasty bite, and probably for your day-drinking needs as well. The crepes were legit.

Food was amazing! The guys cooking it are very friendly and patient with all their patrons. Grab a mimosa for the morning or a beer in the afternoon. There is a crepe to go with either.
