Crespella is an indie dessert spot that originated in Lynnwood. A second new location opened in Shoreline, located next door to T-Mobile taking over the former, long shuttered froyo spot.
Driving up and down the main arterial, I was wondering when it would open seeing the signage, but the windows remained still papered up.
After seeing an IG post, yay Crespella is finally open! This gimpy Yelper was glad to have a parking slot right out front too (2/27/26). The parking lot is shared with the post office and several other businesses. It is also easily accessible via the Metro Rapid Ride E
Lots of natural light, clean dining area with ample two & four top tables. The counter person was efficient taking and prepping my order. She also replied to my question that this location opened last week.
Note: a crespella is the Italian version of the French crêpe. This is more pancake like in texture. Usually this is a buckwheat batter, but I didn't verify this.
I noticed via online and the overhead menu that the only savory items are sandwiches. This is a more sweets forward establishment with sweet crespellas, mini pancakes, milkshakes, novel drinks, juices, and canned/bottled bevs.
Despite my fondness for savory French-style crêpes and seasonal strawberries (June for Skagit Valley strawberries), I decided to try a Crespella strawbites and a hot chocolate. Definitely a sweets splurge for me.
This was a fairly sizeable crespella and easily shareable. It was generous, filled with chocolate, topped with large halved strawberries and drizzled with Nutella nicely plated. No flatware, just provided individually wrapped forks and knives. The hot chocolate was served in a paper cup, topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles.
I'm glad the piped in music volume was dialed down and was more chill dining onsite. Initially, it was amplified country. Didn't help I was seated by the stereo system, lol.
Anyways, the major bonus is that Shoreline has now a dessert spot with late night hours to midnight (11am - 12 midnight daily).
A welcomed addition to Shoreline! read more
