Sweet and Savory Crispa Crepes

Crispa Crepes recently debuted in Irvine’s Northpark Plaza thanks to Hadrien Curs, a native of France whose creperie concept offers made-to-order savory and sweet crepes prepared in just a few minutes.

The crepes are also affordable, starting at under $5 to $8.25. And students receive a price break too; junior high, high school and college students who show a valid school ID will receive a free soda with an order of a savory crepe, or a free scoop of ice cream with their sweet crepe order.

The selections include a Greek crepe filled with grilled chicken breast strips, feta, fresh tomato, fresh spinach leaves, red onions, olive tapenade and thyme; or an Indian crepe with grilled chicken breast strips, lentils, shredded carrots, mild sour cream curry sauce, red onions and fresh cilantro. The American crepe is filled with grilled chicken breast strips, avocado, aged Swiss cheese, fresh cilantro, tomato, red onions; and a Moroccan crepe is filled with grilled chicken breast strips, hummus with cumin, tomato, red onions, fresh basil leaves, olive tapenade and shredded carrots. Classic French crepes come with ham, aged Swiss and thyme, among other choices. All savory crepes are served with a small organic mixed greens salad dressed with house made balsamic vinaigrette.

Sweet dessert crepes include Crispella, with a chocolate hazelnut spread folded in a delicate crepe with powdered sugar and topped with a dollop of whipped cream.  There’s also the Vienna, a sweet crepe with stewed apples, with a drizzle of warm caramel, cinnamon and garnished with honey-roasted almonds.

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. At Northpark Plaza, 3945 Irvine Boulevard in Irvine. 714.389.5711.
