Ninas crepes on First Hill

Granted, I only had a simple caramel crepe, but if a supposed creperie can't get that right, then there really isn't any point.

I stopped in early in the morning (before 7) in the mood for a simple sweet crepe. Not finding either of my old standbys on the menu (crepe with butter and sugar, or crepe with butter and honey), I opted for the crepe with butter and "Imported European Caramel". Which came in a can. And tasted like tin. Nice.

So - she makes the crepe. Except that she has to make it twice, because she didn't have all of her equipment up front ready waiting for her when she poured the batter, and wasted a crepe in her attempt to smooth it over the element. All in all, she spent ten minutes making a crepe that it would have taken most others three.

All that would have been worth it had the crepe itself tasted fine. As mentioned before, the caramel topping had a tinny aftertaste to it. The crepe itself tasted vaguely like cardboard - not appetizing at all.
