A Deviation for Crépes! - Perierra Créperie

A new obsession in our household thanks to my friend Mandy who loves all things french - Crépes!  Mandy first introduced them to me while teaching how to make crépes in our Group Leadership course.  My world was opened to nutella and banana and I've been a believer in this combo for some time.  Pretty much anything with nutella and I'm sold.  


That said, our good friends Kyle and Ahna suggested we have a sweet crépe at Perierra Créperie


Yumm!!!  My friend Ahna is right, the secret to it being as good as it is, is the way they fold it up and stick it in a cone-shaped paper wrapping.  It makes every bite a delicious one with all the ingredients evenly spread out in every bite.

Cost: Very affordable.  Average cost is $4-$8.
Menu: Nice sized menu for a food cart and a good assortment between savory and sweet crepes.  
Food:  I would rate it a 5/5.  We love their main location on 12th and Hawthorne!  It's a neat spot for out of town guests who haven't experienced the food cart craze that Portland has so lovingly embraced. 
Service:  More often then not, our crepes are delivered in a timely manner and cooked to perfection.  There are times that your order is either lost or you get stuck behind a long line.  Everything is made fresh and before your eyes so I can't blame them too much for the wait.  The only caveat to mention is to remind you that this is a food cart and we live in Portland!  Many times it has rained and we are huddled underneath the covered area doing rock, paper, scissors for who orders and picks up our freshly made crepes.  At least there is a covered area, right?
