We just had buckwheat crepes this afternoon at this café, and oh my goodness! They were absolutely delicious! I first heard about this café on a website or group (maybe here?) and wanted to check it out.Their brochure states that the buckwheat mixture is gluten-free. When we first walked in, I was little dismayed to see bits of crumbly flour all around their crepe machines. I was assured the buckwheat mixture only went on the buckwheat crepe maker and the whole wheat mixture went on the whole wheat crepe maker. Their savory crepes are served on buckwheat crepes, and their sweet crepes are usually served on whole wheat crepes. Their website is crepescafe and then .com.After confirming with the cook that the Chicken Dijon sauce had no flour in it, we ordered the Savory Chicken with carmalized onions and added some mushrooms. We also ordered the Sweet Mixed Berry Crepe with whipped cream, but had them put the fruit on the buckwheat crepe instead of the whole wheat crepe. It was absolute heaven! The crepes were soft and delicious! I cannot vouch for any of the other fillings for the crepes, just the ones we enjoyed. So, if you choose to eat at this café, be sure to ask the right questions. As we know, eating out is risky.P.S. If you want me to e-mail you a pdf of the color brochure, I'll be glad to do so. Just e-mail me at susan.hersomgmail.Sue

I go to the Crepes Cafe frequently. I asked them long

ago about utensils. They are quite aware, but it's

always good to remind them.

To and :

The girlfriend that I enjoyed lunch with is also celiac. She is so

sensitive to gluten that if she ingests even the tiniest little bit,

she, unfortunately, blows up to be 9 months pregnant! We kept

looking at her stomach all through lunch and no swelling. She is my

own " personal " glutenometer!

No, , I did not ask about the utensils and surfaces. I usually

do, though. We were so focused on asking our waitress about the

ingredients that I didn't even think of asking about that. Good

point. If celiacs do go there for a meal, be sure to ask.

By the way, we had the usual, spontaneous " requisite " tears of joy

while enjoying our meal..... Doesn't get better than that!

i had the tomato basil soup at crepes cafe last week--delicious--they assured me

it contained no gluten whatsoever-i experienced no problems.

i have eaten scrambled eggs there on occasions in the past, no problems--

had the buckwheat crepes last year w/no ill effects and the owner assured me no gluten was

in the buckwheat mix -
