Something that stands out amongst the many restaurants along Katipunan (or behind it on Esteban…read moreAbada) is definitely La Creperie Provencåle. Most of the restaurants there are targeted towards the student population, so a quaint, quiet French restaurant is not something you would typically expect to be there. When my friends and I are in the mood to have a relaxed and yummy meal (before our study sessions or meetings at Craft next door), La Creperie Provencåle is often on the top of our list. The moment you step inside, it feels as though you've been transported directly to Nice or another one of those quaint French provinces; the ambiance is perfect for good conversations and kwentuhan and is a pretty nice date place as well! You can probably guess from its name, but La Creperie Provencåle has a great selection of delectable crepes just waiting to be explored. If you've got a sweet tooth, choose from their gourmet Crepe Sucrées; whether you want fruits, chocolate drizzle, nutella or oreos on your crepe, they've got it! If you're into more of the savory variety, their Galettes de Sarrasin are worth trying as well. I've also ordered their Greek Eggplant Moussaka (something I will always order if I see it on a menu), and it was oozing with cheese and bechamel sauce. This is the perfect place to sip on some coffee or tea; they offer TWG teas and a number of coffee variations, which is perfect for a caffeine addict such as myself. If you're sick of the hustle and bustle of Katipunan, pay La Creperie Provencåle a visit.

I stumbled upon La Creperie one evening in Katipunan. I wasn't sure if it was the same La Creperie…read moreI had tried years ago at Eastwood, but I gave it a try. It wasn't until I saw the menu that I had realized it was the same restaurant I previously tried, so I thought, "OK, this should be good." Although I found it rather strange that they'd put up a branch there as I have a notion that La Creperie can be a bit pricey especially for students. First of all, the ambiance. It's not really conducive for studying, but more for an intimate dinner with your significant other or a best friend with its cozy lighting and interiors that scream "tea party!" Kidding aside, while the interior's all girly-girly, I think it helps set the mood for the food you are about to enjoy. As for me, I had the Le JJ - a tomato, ham, emmental and gruyere cheese crepe served with a side of greens. Let me tell you though, the plate was lovely! The food was okay for me I guess, it's not too filling and I think it's a great option if you're looking for something light (plus nice to look at). On the side, I had a steaming hot pot of TWG Silver Moon Tea. The teacup itself is super pretty!!! I felt really dainty while drinking my tea and enjoying my crepe. One of the biggest things though about La Creperie is that they already had TWG tea on their menu even before the TWG restaurant came to Philippine shores, and on my very first La Creperie experience, Silver Moon was really, love at first taste so this is what I ordered when I stumbled upon this branch. Overall, I think La Creperie would make for a good date place (guys, please take note!) It has everything a girl will probably want to make the date picture perfect (and Instagrammable): pretty plates, pretty teacups, light food, pretty ambiance. Hey, even if you really enjoy your date's company, you can continue the fun right next door with a cup of coffee at Craft.

Two words make this branch of Cafe Breton not so stellar: No WiFi. In my opinion, every cafe should…read moreoffer free WiFi (I'm looking at you, Starbucks), or at least make sure that they're a good spot for cellular data. Unfortunately, only select spots in this branch will let you use your LTE. People work in cafes, and while I understand that customer turnaround is something that restaurants always strive for, cafes are where clients are supposed to be able to take their time relaxing or working. In my opinion, WiFi shouldn't be optional anymore for cafes. If the small indie cafe in Fairview called Read and Brew can offer decent Internet for their patrons, so should bigger establishments like Starbucks and Cafe Breton. What I do like about Breton is that their food is mostly consistent. I've tried my favorite tuna melt in several branches, including this one, and found it satisfying in every one of them. My crepe of choice is the Funtastyc, and bananas, being less consistent than tuna or mayonnaise, can vary from branch to branch. Unfortunately, the last time we were at this one, the bananas they used were a little bit sour--not good for a supposedly sinful dessert crepe with Nutella, ice cream, and a dash of alcohol. It's an okay branch to get your crepe fix from, but I do prefer the other Cafe Bretons.

Aside from coffee-based drinks, ice cream and other desserts their menu also includes entrees such as waffles, Salisbury steak, pasta, chicken and tacos. My personal favorite is their Hungarian sausage plate; that, or tacos although their Bolognese is also good too--rather reminiscent of the one in Pancake house with its sweetness and gritty bits of ground meat. The Salisbury steak is a bit ho-hum but it is okay if your taste buds are not particularly looking for an adventure. I often eat here with my kid (the Trinoma branch is right next to Time Zone!) and he often goes for a parfait or a banana split. The crew at both Trinoma and Timog branches are unfailingly polite and smiling--- they won't give you attitude if you want to linger over your meal with a book or with friends, which makes this café a good place to set up meetings with people that you want to catch up with.

(But seriously, why eat pasta or a sandwich at a crepe place?) I like that Cafe Breton has an option wherein you can also choose to personalize your crepes. While I have not tried this route as I'm afraid to be too adventurous with what goes inside my crepe, I'll stick the review to the crepes I frequently order. For those who want a meal in their crepes, Cafe Breton has a variety of meat and seafood fillings to choose from. My favorite however, is their Galette Rustique - a smoked bacon, tomato provencal, mozzarella and egg crepe that is light on the stomach and tastes really good. The ratio of the meaton the crepe is just enough without falling short on flavor. For their dessert crepes, hands down my favorite is the La Pinay. It's a mix of mango topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. The dessert isn't too sweet and the mangoes used are fresh. The touch of vanilla ice cream on top is delicious and blends well with the mango chocolate drizzle. Another favorite at Cafe Breton is its pretty extensive coffee offerings. I really like their Cafe Mocha and it's a perfect match with the La Pinay dessert crepe.

Crepes and Cream may be ubiquitous in the metro's malls, but that doesn't mean their products are automatically inferior. What I can appreciate is that they offer a variety of flavors, from the savory to the sweet; their stalls and are clean and uncluttered; and they make the crepes fresh and fast. (It's quite addicting to watch their staff turn the batter into perfectly thin crepes that, no sweat! And I've always marveled at how their crepes don't tear or break down at all despite being filled and folded in a rush.) I recently triend their Kani Crepe while my sister had the Taco Crepe for lunch. Though the filling is not as abundant as I would have wanted, the simple but yummy flavor of the crepe made up for it. They were quite filling, too, lasting us till dinner while we strolled around the mall.

BAck then I was the type who played it safe by ordering ice cream instead of something as exotic as crepe. Nowadays, more people are familiar with this particular slice of dessert than I know. Crepes and cream is a bit special to me because it was the first establishment that showed me that crepes could be savory too. Before I tried this place, all the crepes I ever had were of the desert variety. That said, the stuff on their menu isn't that expensive. The quality of the crepe is great at least when compared to most of the places I've been to. Give it a try, once again, since you'll do little wrong in spending your money here. I sure as heck didn't regret it when I did.

For a while, it's been my go-to dessert store after nice meals since there wasn't much places selling cakes along Maginhawa back then. But now, there has been more competition and it seems like Fancy was boxed out from the prime real estate. PROS: Once a week, they have a promo where they slash 50% off from their cakes; Endless coffee for P50.00; More cheesecake and cake choices; Cute crepe presentations where they write your name with syrup; Quirky interiors that Zooey Deschanel may approve. CONS: They've had a price increase since relocation; Serving size has gone smaller too. TL;DR: It's not really a unique experience, and you may find the servings not enough, but it's a good tambay place where you could get your stuff done.

But I do remember when Fancy Crepes and Cakes was the only spot in Maginhawa where you could get something fancier than McD's sundaes for dessert. Dark times those. Dark times. There's a certain delicacy to this place. Their crepes are the thinner French variety but that doesn't make them the lesser species of crepe. They're just the thing if you want something lighter or at least something to nibble on while hanging out with a friend or doing some work. And yes, they do have bottomless coffee. Where else can you get bottomless coffee for 50php? Caffeine coma, here I come. As Faye said, I was a little disappointed that their serving sizes seem to have gone down but eh, they still make good stuff. The I Love NY is still a personal favorite.

Crepeman tastes like those long afternoons in Miriam College's cafeteria where all I lived on were their tuna crepes and nothing else. What can I say, I was cheap and on a forced diet. Good to see some things never change. Crepeman still has some pretty good (and pretty indulgent) crepes. Having had enough of their savory crepes, I usually go back for the sweet crepes I missed out on. The chaos is a personal favorite. Good when you need that sugary kick and can't decide what exactly you want off their menu. What can I say? I like my fruit. Also, don't be afraid of pork floss. It's probably one of the best things ever and having it in a crepe? Even better.

We first had food from Crepeman during the pandemonium of the name Maginhawa Food Fest. This was…read morelast October 2014. The crowd was intense and there were queues everywhere even in places you would not expect. We were lucky enough to be living in the vicinity since we had accessible parking space and a resting area when we got tired of walking around. By dinner time, it was almost impossible to get anything to eat without an hour of wait time. A lot of the restaurants and kiosks have run out of food as well. My brother was there to save our stomachs by falling in line for about 3,572.21 hours and getting us some dinner crepes. PROS: They offer both savory and sweet crepes. I find the savory ones better and more interesting as crepes in the area are usually dessert fare; Cheap prices relative to most crepe places. CONS: The blueberry crepe had too much whipped crème and too little cream cheese; The place is a little cramped which is a good thing for the business but a little ugh for me. This is not just during the food fest but even on regular days. TL;DR: Your wallet-friendly crepe fix in a convenient location.

Because I never refuse food, especially if it's free, I said yes. We decided to try a popular restaurant in Kapitolyo, but even before getting there, Crepeman caught my attention. Aside from it's name, I could also clearly see from across the street that all tables were occupied. I though to myself that from the looks of it, it must be good. I ran inside and found out that they close at midnight, so that gave us about 15 minutes to place our order at the nearby restaurant and head back there to get ourselves our dessert. That was exactly what we did. We got there right in the nick of time as they flipped the welcome sign to say "Closed" as soon as we entered. I decided to get the Fererro Crepe, which has Nutella and peanuts while my Dad got the classic chocolate crepe. What particularly impressed me was that they can make the crepe either the usual soft crepe or crispy. My Dad had his soft, while I had mine crispy. Even if we ate our respective crepes after we had our meal at the restaurant, we were still very happy with our orders.

If you happen to be in Power Plant Mall, you will find Crepes and Cream. This food outlet does not only offer sweet dessert crepes, they also serve them with a variety of fillings good enough to make crepes as primary meals. Since I'm not fond of sweet stuff, I usually order Ham & Cheese or Beefy Mushroom. I think the sweetness of the batter blends well with the salty taste of cheese and meat. Crepes & Cream also serves frappes, milkshakes, and ice cream. But for me, I just stick to plain old coffee and maybe a book while I finish my snack.
