Crepe World-on Convoy, dessert crepes after a quick meal at Chopstix

mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog and today Cathy is blogging.  Because Kirk and ed (from Yuma) are eating.

Hi.  The other day, The Mister and I went to Chopstix and got large bowls of soup, because at 96°, with 18% humidity, it just wasn't warm enough for us.  004 006  The top one is the miso ramen and the bottom one is the dumpling ramen.  Each about $6.50, huge, tasty, warm.  027 When we were done, we walked out and wanted dessert.  We thought about Yogurt World and Tapioca Heaven, but this new building is closer when you walk across the street.  Crepe World.  (The Nice Young Lady who waited on us was wearing a Yogurt World t-shirt; I did not ask if they were owned by the same people)It is right on Convoy, so you don't have to encounter what I like to call the 'parking lot from Hell'.  It was not crowded.  As in, we were the only people there, our order number was 13 and it was 6:41 in the evening…I think this was the second day of it opening.010  A large area, lots of tables and chairs and some park benches for seating…a rather extensive menu of savory (takoyaki, various 'sandwich crepes') and sweet crepes and waffles.  There is a website on the business card, but it is not set up yet. 011  We ordered and each crepe was served up in pink paper cones. (click to see full photo)(Typepad is acting strange again)021  I chose the #20, red beans with custard and bananas ($4.58).  It was huge and filled with all the ingredients.  The crepe was light and crispy on the edges.  The custard was light and eggy tasting, the red beans were sweet and tasty. 019  The Mister chose the #15- a fruit crepe stuffed with Nutella­® and fresh strawberries ($3.68).  The same delightful crepe, filled with nutty, chocolate-y Nutella­® and sliced juicy, flavorful strawberries.

A nice ending on another hot, but not humid, day in San Diego.

  1. Hi Cathy! Wow sweet azuki beans in a crepe.. “Crepe World” is right! 🙂 Too bad I don’t have a sweet tooth.. did you notice any savory type fillings offered? Cheers

  2. Come to my side of town if you think that’s not hot enough 😉 It’s only in the triple digits with about 60% plus humidity here. The food doesn’t look too appetizing.

  3. I’ve been wondering about that place and I’m glad to see it looks good. I never enter that Parking lot from Hell. It really is the worst.

  4. I edited the post, Dennis- Takoyaki and about 8 ‘sandwich’ crepes-meat,lettuce, tomato, sauce… I will try one in the future. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth either and hardly ever have dessert.
    60% humidity?!?!!! Oh Bill, OK, not complaining. Sorry about the photos. Food was OK and I did not have to cook at home. Crepes were fresh made and different for us.
    Hi Lynnea. You’ll like it. Park and walk.

  5. There is some sort of affiliation with Yogurt World and Crepe World. Shortly before CW opened, YW had flyers for CW’s grand opening. I’ve been curious about CW, too, Totally agree on the parking lot from hell; it’s better to find street parking and walk.

  6. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been to Chopstix. Yum, crepes! I could go for some crepes with strawberries and cream right now.

  7. Ah, it is then Sandy…I suppose the “World” part is a clue. Stopin; you’ll like it.
    Right, Bill. I just don’t want to cook unless everything is clean first…which means I need to clean up when I am done and lately I just don’t feel like anything.
    They have crepes with fruit and ice cream, Carol… 🙂

  8. Crepe World looks like a fun place to eat! The red beans I have never seen before on a crepe. I think you may be able to fix the photo problem by resizing the photo and making it smaller by adjusting the html coding if that works on Typepad (no prior experience).

  9. It is very nice and a bit different kind of dessert, ETE. I do like red beans as a sweet, when I have those rare cravings. I’ll try playing with the html stuff for another post. Thanks.
    Hi Sawyer-We seem to go to Chopstix more than Tajima when I want miso ramen, but I can’t say either is a favorite; each is different and the other menu choices in each sometimes determine why we are eating (tempura at Chopstix)…Chopstix Too has a butter miso ramen that I sometimes crave…
