Best Crepe Places

Thank you, @Tracypie. Much necessary. For some reason, Palo Alto and Menlo Park seem to have an abundance of French-themed restaurants. Here are a few to add:

1. Crepes Cafe, Menlo Park. Galette-style (buckwheat, savory) and sweet (white flour) crepes alike. Both are delicious. The only downfall to the food is that they do not properly flambe the crepe suzette (the alcohol doesn't burn off in the way that it should), but it doesn't affect the taste too aversely. Indoor and outdoor seating, although it always seems to be windy there for some reason - gotta love the Bay Area microclimates. Kid-friendly, outdoor seating can double as a play area, train is right across the street. Park wherever you can. http://www.crepescafe.com/

2. Coupa Cafe, Palo Alto. Venezuelan restaurant with French influences. Haven't had the crepes personally, but all of the other pastries are fantastic. Somewhat high-end for such a crowded place with over-the-counter order. Some outdoor seating, indoor seating with couches in the back and tables in the front. Downtown Palo Alto means that parking is a nightmare. Great coffee, free wifi. http://www.coupacafe.com/

Also, this doesn't necessarily need its own category, but downtown Palo Alto also has a Crepevine (parking there is even more disastrous given that it is located right on University Avenue, the main drag). The crepes aren't quite as good but the portions are beyond generous and the outdoor seating is certainly a nice option.

[On a small side note, I grew up in a French household with a first-generation immigrant father who made the best crepes on the planet - not that I'm biased - so this is one genre of food in which I consider myself a little bit of a connoisseur. If it's not good, I won't post it.)

@NightOwlnOrinda I am definitely going to check out ChezMaMa in Potrero as I have a lot of friends that live over there. They say it's good too. And @StephSF, I agree, it's hard to screw up a crepe to where it's inedible. But there are good and then there are GREAT. ;-)

Excuse the off-topic comment, but the great thing about Potrero and that area of the city is that you actually get to see the sun a good portion of the day. If I were going to live in the city again, with a boyfriend, and the whole deal, I think that would be a great place to live. It's more a a couples neighborhood though, isn't it? I mean there are singles neigbhorhoods, like North Beach and then their are quieter more family friendly neighborhoods for young couples like Potrero Hill and Noe Valley.

Here's one more crepe place that I just remembered: Genki's Crepes--north of the Panhandle--I'm not sure what neigbhorhood that is--Richmond maybe. Its got salmon crepes and okay ice cream too.
