Arcadie Crepes

On the fly, we decided to head to Santa Monica after our adventure at Sprinkles. So basically, I paid $3.25 + $1.50 for a cupcake if you count transportation. But at least buses are mad cheap here. It’s like 75 cents per ride!

On our way to the pier from the 3rd Street Promenade, we passed by Arcadie Crepes. Looking spiffy on the outside, we were all like, “OMG crepes! Let’s get them to go and eat them on the pier!”

But 2 things prevented that from happening:

  1. The place was  understaffed. Besides looking a bit shady when we got in, there was only 1 person working. Three crepe orders plus another order after us had the lady on standby. It took some time before our food was ready
  2. It was freakin windy as heck outside!

But, at least the crepes were delicious! They’re priced fairly (I guess) and I got the Cevenol ($5.50), which is a crepe filled with chestnut puree and a scoop of vanilla. All of the chestnut was stuck in the center so as I neared the end, I got gloopy messes of chestnut exploding out of every bite. But, I guess that’s what makes it a crepe!

Above is Janice’s Dulce de Leche, which she added bananas too. She says that her thighs are still suffering from it right now…

Oh! Most importantly, I wouldn’t get the soup. That’s the French onion soup. It should have been named the French melted cheese soup. He was just spooning out endless melted cheese, which I guess could be a good thing if you’re into cheese.

(See what I mean by shady?)
