Not only do they have some pretty amazing Crepes - savory AND sweet - as well as gelato, shakes, bubble waffles and some of the best cappuccino on the mountain, but their VIEW is the best on the hill for a restaurant - you can see Tahquitz from the tables outside. Their bfast crepe is yummy and they have a crepe not on the menu - ask for lemon, butter and powdered sugar with a side of vanilla gelato. You won't be sorry.
