Could not begin to describe how yummy this meal was. Yes, I am a guy and I said the “yummy” word as it was that good. It’s one of those meals that makes you feel as if you are eating dessert no matter what you order. Yet, that’s a good thing!
Yorkville Creperie is one of those spots in our hood on the Upper East Side NYC that we knew about but never really ventured over to. Finally decided to make a go of it. We arrived here on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It was after brunch hours and since it was a summer season weekend we had the place to ourselves at around 5PM. Grabbed a seat by the opened front windows and there was a nice breeze blowing in. Looked over the extensive menu of crepes and panini’s and decided to go with the Roma crepe – Chicken, Mozzarella and Tomato Bruschetta, in an Herb Crepe.
Hot damn! Was this good! Just the right amount to fit my appetite this afternoon. (Personally, I could have eaten two of them. Shhhhh…….)
We also ordered the Greco Crepe – Spinach, Tomato and Feta. For a few dollars more grilled chicken was added to it. Tasty and savory for sure! Feta makes everything better.
But of course being the gluttasaurus animals that we are we had to try a dessert crepe. How could we not? We happily ordered the S’MORE – Dark Chocolate, Graham Cracker Crumb and Fluff.
Yes, freakin’ FLUFF! I used to eat jars of that stuff as a kid. Fluffernutter sandwiches were a part of my normal diet! FLUFF! FLUFF! FLUFF! Yes, I was a fat chunky kid.
(They also do have a Fluff -A- Nutter crepe which includes Peanut Butter, Fluff, Nutella, Banana and Graham Cracker Crumb. OMFG! I must return for this!)
Anyway, the dessert crepe was warm and sweet. Just right for two people to split. The dark chocolate reminded me of Bosco. Maybe it was Bosco. Double Yum!
This place itself has a nice decor. Clean and homey like. Service was attentive. Lots of options on the menu, and you can also build your own crepe from scratch if you want. They have some pretty decent specials each night of the week. I remember seeing a list and one of them was “Wed Date Night” deal for $50 you get a bottle of wine, two crepe entrees, and a dessert crepe – not a bad deal at all! On certain nights they even feature live music. Brunch on weekends. Half price wine. It’s a great local spot for a low key meal for two, a first date, or a fun dinner with friends.
Will definitely be back to try out more crepes here! FLUFF!

You’re killing me. You know that right? As I gnaw on my raw veggie “lunch” and plot my Escape to New York for a Nutella crepe. OMFG.
Hey Jill!
Don’t blame me! Blame the food porn!
I grew up on Fluffernutters. I actually made myself one a few months ago when no one was home for dinner. Now I think I need to try to recreate some of those crepes. I’ll be starting with the dessert ones!
Hey Karen!
I am sure you will make awesome fluffernutter crepes. Send me some!
I love crepes in fact this weekend I’m going to a food truck rally and will be on the hunt for the crepe truck!
Hey Emily!
Nice! Food trucks rock. We have a few here that does crepes. Good stuff!
Holy Crepe! I would not have been able to leave after dining on the delish sounding dessert crepe because I would have ordered and eaten two, ending up in a food coma.
Hey Cowboys!
I almost wanted to skip the dinner crepe and go right to the dessert ones myself!
this looks amazing! i’ll have to put it on my list of places to go next fall.
Hey Liv!
It’s one of those really nice local spots that’s casual and serves up good food. Their crepes rock!
Now I want dessert or crepes or something as good as what you ate 🙂 I love that they have savory crepes, I have never tried those!
Hey Foodie!
The dessert crepes are a sweet guilty pleasure. Their savory dinner crepes are really good too. Can’t go wrong!
Not much on the fluffer stuff… but crepes… ooolala… love it! Loving the feta and chicken and spinach combo too. Place looks great.
Hey Peggy!
I think we just might go there for dinner tonight and get that dinner crepe! Of course, a dessert one too!
I make FABULOUS crepes…..but you had me at Nutella.
Hey Mother!
I’ll be over with a bottle of wine so we can crepe together!
crepegasm is right! Holy lord that looks amazing. Eating it must be a religious experience. *licks lips*
Hey Beth!
How can anyone resist nutella, fluff, and chocolate syrup poured over their body and licked off?
Wait – did I say that out loud? What I really meant is…..oh forget it!
Looks so good. Japan loves les crepes aussi! As for “FLUFF” I don’t think that yummy stuff ever made it into my house as I have no idea what it is. I was obviously missed out! 🙂
Hey Shelley!
FLUFF is that magical soft marshmallow spread that goes so well with peanut butter!
OH.MY.HOLINESS! NO.WORDS.CAN.DESCRIBE. HOW. MUCH. I. AM. SALIVATING. AT.THIS.VERY.MOMENT…
When I was visiting in Puerto Rico last year, this Argentine restaurant had the most amazing churrasco with chimichurri sauce, of course, AND for dessert, crepes filled with dulce con leche! IT.WAS.SIIIIIIIIIIIICK!
Hey Brickhouse!
Crepes are a pretty amazing invention. Whether for a meal or dessert you just smile when eating them! Dessert crepes rock!

btw, you can say YUMMY all you want, dear. x
Hey Kim!
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!
Crepegasm!
Ah I love a good crepe (got to be careful how I say that out aloud). I really enjoyed eating them particularly in Paris, most definitely yummy.
Fluff? No idea what you mean by that. Here in the UK fluff is that stuff you find in your belly button at the end of the day.
Hey Guy!
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t enjoy a delish crepe!
FLUFF is this magical marshmallow spread that goes so well with crepes, Nutella, and peanut butter!
We’ve had a crepe thing going on in our house over the last several years. This place looks right up our alley and I love the decor. :))
Hey Hazy!
Sound like the kind of place you would move into! Crepes for all!
Crepes are the best! That one with feta and spinach sounds, you said it, yummy! But what is Fluff?
Hey Mitzie!
That is a good one. Of course, we had a dessert crepe too. Fluff is a magical marshmallow spread that goes so well with peanutbutter. I want it now.
I will take one of everything. Please.
🙂
Hey Coleen!
We went back there for dinner last night. I ate enough for both of us! 🙂
My kind of place! Not sure my blood sugar would handle that sweet one, but everything else sounds pretty damn awesome. Would love to try it!
Hey PJ!
Yeah, that one might put you in diabetic shock! So good here though. Good food! They also make a killer salad!
