My personal exerience is a 3.5, but I'm rounding up to 4.
Time: 20 minutes
Came here at the South Pasadena farmer's market at 5:20pm. There was no one in line to order, but a few people hanging around. My roasted chicken pesto crepe order was ready at 5:40pm.
Taste (roasted chicken pesto crepe): Overall good. Very oily.
The crepe was overall tasty, but excessively oily. My crepe was really stuffed with Mozzarella cheese, which I personally liked, but perhaps contributed to the greasiness. The "roast chicken," however, tasted NOTHING - I repeat, NOTHING - like chicken. Airplane-food chicken is a fine art compared to the spongy cardboard-like substance in my crepe. The actual crepe itself is also very soft and floppy, which I understand is just the way they prepare their crepes, but I personally like my crepes crispier. Other crepe places, like Genki Living, allow you the option to choose the level of crispiness in your crepe, which I think is important for a crepe business if they want to be good.
Service: Lackluster
I would have appreciated it if I were given an ETA for my crepe order so I could have wandered around the rest of the market rather than waiting around for 20 minutes. The people working the tent seemed really uninspired and disinterested. I just feel like if you are trying to build a successful small business in the food industry and you want to create loyalty and have repeat clientele, this is not acceptable. I know I'm over-analyzing, but the service here is really just deserving of a 3-star "A-OK," when I feel like it could so easily be so much better.
Payment: Accepts credit card
I paid for my meal with a credit card and there was no extra service charge, which was a nice, consumer-friendly offering of theirs.
Come back?: Probably not for a while
The next time I'm at the farmer's market and looking for a meal, I'm more likely to try the other vendors. read more
