When I was invited to a birthday brunch at Chef de Crêpe, I was simultaneously excited and nervous…read more Excited because I'd never eaten there before. Nervous because my only previous experiences with crêpes involved repeatedly attempting to make them myself and repeatedly disappointing myself with my terrible crêpe-making skills. But I RSVP'd YES and hoped the professionals were significantly better at this than I am. Our party of nine arrived for a noon Sunday reservation and was promptly seated toward the back of a VERY busy restaurant. Nine seats. Nine bodies. On time. We were off to a great start! I'd studied the menu beforehand because there are a surprising number of sweet and savory crêpes, galettes and handhelds to choose from. I ultimately ordered the Chicken Florentine for $14, made with chicken, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, mozzarella, red onions, garlic and Mom's Béchamel Sauce. I also ordered a Diet Coke, which turned out to be a can for $3.10. When I ordered a second, our waitress did let me know I'd be charged for another can, which I appreciated. But $6.20 for two cans of Diet Coke still hurt my feelings a little. Our food arrived and my Chicken Florentine was FABULOUS. Apparently the secret to enjoying crêpes is having someone other than Alexis make them. The filling was flavorful, everything worked beautifully together and the actual crêpe was wonderfully prepared. Unfortunately, the Birthday Girl wasn't nearly as lucky. She cut into her Mexi Steak crêpe and discovered a hair that definitely wasn't hers. When she got our waitress's attention, the response felt strangely annoyed and there wasn't an apology. The plate was silently taken away. I understand that mistakes happen, especially in a packed restaurant, but hair in food is no bueno and a simple "I'm so sorry about that" would have gone a long way. Her replacement also took long enough that most of us had finished eating by the time it arrived. Thankfully, everyone shared their meals with her in the meantime. When the replacement finally came out, our waitress said, "The chef sends his apologies," but by then the Birthday Girl had eaten enough of everyone else's food that she asked for a box and took her replacement home. Thankfully, we weren't finished because...DESSERT CRÊPES! I ordered the Cookie Butter for $12.25 with sweet cream cheese, Biscoff cookie butter, chocolate chips and shortbread. It was FABULOUS. Several of us shared tastes of our desserts, so I also tried the J'adore Reese's with banana, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Nutella and cinnamon, which I loved, and the La Parisienne with Grand Marnier, sugar, raspberries and Hershey syrup, which was fine but not really my thing. And Chef de Crêpe, I HAVE AN IDEA FOR YOU. SWEET CRÊPE FLIGHTS! Give me little mini crêpes so I can sample several flavors without committing to an entire dessert crêpe. I would order that SO FAST! Toward the end of our meal, our waitress brought the Birthday Girl a little cup of whipped cream with a lit candle and a miniature light-up Eiffel Tower. It was adorable! We took pictures and sang Happy Birthday, and it was an especially nice touch after the unfortunate start to her meal. With the automatically added gratuity for our large party, my total came to about $40. That's not outrageous for brunch and dessert, but it also wasn't inexpensive. Especially when $6.20 of that was two cans of Diet Coke. The restaurant itself is whimsical and cute, almost like stepping into a little girl's Parisian tea party. It was perfect for a Sunday birthday brunch with the girls, even if the aesthetic isn't particularly "me." Overall, I'm glad I said yes to this adventure. I ate two genuinely delicious crêpes, sampled several others, celebrated a friend and finally discovered that I don't dislike crêpes. I just dislike MY crêpes. Would I personally make Chef de Crêpe a regular stop? Probably not. Between the price point, the service hiccup and the fact that I don't routinely find myself craving crêpes, this feels more like a fun once-and-done experience for me. But I'm glad I experienced it. And if those mini dessert crêpe flights ever become a thing? CALL ME!

But omggg dark soul is on of my fav flavors(I really wish I would've gotten the dark soul stacker!)

It's a pretty simple but effective menu of scoops, shakes, floats, and sundaes. We were each going to get a flavor and share but saw the flight option: 4 kids sized flavors in their own little cubbies in one container. Highly recommend this if you're torn on flavors. Many of the flavors were monthly, so even if I loved them, I understand they might not be around next time. The brown butter sugar cookie was sweet and creamy, the watermelon was refreshing and light, the espresso martini was rich and complex, and the more regular flavor Dutch chocolate was perfection. They give out samples which was great because one of the seasonal flavors wasn't to our liking, so we were able to pivot. Don't abuse sampling privileges and don't be afraid to try some of the more unique flavors. You never know! They have their operations down pat, so the line moved quickly. The employees seemed nice, and the cost was very reasonable for specialty flavors. You can't go wrong trying this place.

Juice & Java has been a Mechanicsburg staple since 2001, and after finally visiting, I can see why…read more I stopped in on a chilly, overcast Sunday evening around 5 p.m. with a very specific craving: grilled cheese and soup. Juice & Java delivered big time. When I walked in, the café was quiet, with just a couple of customers working away on laptops. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, with a perfectly nostalgic 90's soundtrack playing overhead. The café itself is small and quirky, with local artwork for sale adorning the walls--an inviting little space that immediately makes you want to linger. The menu was surprisingly large for such a small spot, and while their coffee selections seemed endless, I skipped the caffeine this time. Instead, I ordered: 4-Cheese Gourmet Grill ($9.95) - Monterey Jack, provolone, American & cheddar, a bowl of Roasted Red Pepper & Gouda Soup ($4.79) and two canned sodas ($1.95 each). The staff were friendly, the tables were spotless, and our food came out quickly. The grilled cheese was generously portioned--easily shareable, with perfectly gooey, melty cheese and plenty of those delightful "cheese dangly bits" that make a grilled cheese worth it. But the real star? That Roasted Red Pepper & Gouda soup. Creamy without being heavy, rich with flavor, perfectly warm, and absolutely made for dunking a grilled cheese. I was so glad I ordered a bowl instead of a cup--I would've been sad if it ended too soon. It was one of the best soup-and-sandwich combos I've had in a long time. All in, our meal was just over $20 with tip--reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. With their great hours (breakfast through dinner, seven days a week), plenty of parking in the strip mall lot, and a menu full of tempting options, I'll definitely be back to try more. If you're in the area and craving comfort food with a cozy, local vibe--skip the chains and head here.

I'm now a regular to the point where the owner recognizes me and makes conversation when I come in. I would recommend this place to anyone who has a huge sweet tooth like I do, or if you have kids who can never have enough ice cream in their lives. They also have a good amount of seating inside, so sit back and relax while you wait for your order, or watch as they make your ice cream-- it's a cool process!

Thankfully, they found enough time to pause their show and mix our ice cream, but took no time to start watching it as soon as they finished.

Staff were also on top of things as they brought out drink refills before we needed them. My Wife got the stuffed French toast and she said it was delicious. The French toast was cooked really well and it was loaded a lot of cream cheese and fruit. When I asked my Wife if anything in particular stood out, she said it tasted like it was home made. I went with the baked oatmeal, which had coconut flakes, raisins, cinnamon, and had slices of banana and strawberries. I thought it was pretty tasty, but there are bottles of syrup on each table and drizzling some over it really hit the spot for me. This is definitely a spot that we'd go back to, especially since the is sizable. The menu offered a lot of other options, including crepes, and I feel confident that their other items would also be good.

I've been driving past Morning Fuel on the Carlisle Pike for the last few months. I'm a frequent…read moredriver out that way and every time I passed it, it always looked closed. So I wasn't sure if it was one of those businesses that kind of flopped and nothing had replaced it yet. Alas, I recently found out that it is, in fact, still open. And you know what they say: don't shop on an empty stomach. I was on my way to karns, and I concur. I decided to stop at Morning Fuel so I wouldn't make any hasty purchases while shopping. So I walk in, and the first thing I notice is the music. It's blaring early-2000s-ish rock music. Think Evanescence. Pseudo-angsty music, basically playing at the volume you'd expect in a club. The decor is like a really corny First Watch (live laugh love signage and pictures of measuring cups filled with grains) perhaps with little more edge. And there are straw wrappers and bits of food on the floor, kind of like the Texas Roadhouse peanut situation, except it's not peanuts. Shortly after I was seated, they swept the floor, so I'm assuming it wasn't intentional lol. So, yeah. First Watch on crack? Maybe? First watch's angsty step sibling? First Watch with obnoxiously loud music and a little harder of an edge. And honestly, First Watch and Morning Fuel are part of the same genre. You know what you're getting. And the genre is over priced diner. As far as the food goes, I got the stuffed French toast with blueberry drizzle, and it was really good. It did its job. Nothing spectacular, but a perfectly good breakfast. Overall, I'd say Morning Fuel is pretty average, but these places are kind of a genre unto themselves, and I can see why people like them. It was also a little cheaper than First Watch, which I like but don't really go to. This would not be a recurring haunt for me by any means, but I think it will be for some people. So if you like Evanescence and nu-metal more than you like the Jonas Brothers and other corny folky music, that's what they're playing at Morning Fuel. If you like black floors and a little less of a rustic vibe, that's what Morning Fuel is about. If you like the product that First Watch serves but don't necessarily like the First Watch vibe, you can go to Morning Fuel. Similar kind of product. Packaged differently. Maybe a little cheaper.
