What?! French Revolution creperie on campus? Why did no-one tell me? Next to this place, IDS cafe…read morepales into insignificance (sorry guys!). The Coffee Workshop is definitely my new top campus eatery- with an amazing menu of galettes, crepes, sandwiches and salads, they offer everything I could ever want from a cafe! I'm actually sort of worried, as it's just across the road form my building...what's to stop me popping over every lunch time??! Will power, you say? No chance. Crepes are my absolute favourite.
The galettes (savoury crepes) are made with wholemeal flour and fillings include cheese, mushrooms, spinach, caramelised onion, goats cheese, chicken, salmon...the list goes on, the choices are pretty much infinite! I sampled the 'Scallop special', which contained cheese, spinach, tomatoes and scallops. It cost £5, which is on the higher end of what you expect to pay for campus food, but it was massive, incredibly filling and delicious! Prices generally range from £3.50-£5.
The sweet crepes also look delicious- they do all the usual suspects...lemon and sugar, nutella, maple syrup etc. As well as all this pancakey goodness, you can order other breakfast items such as French toast, waffles and eggs on toast. I'm gushing, I know I am. I'm just too excited about this discovery...campus dining revolutionized! My only complaint is that I left smelling like a giant pancake- the ventilation could definitely be improved!
