🥞 Rochester Brunch Map｜Simply Crepes: Where Crepes Become the View, the Ultimate Sweet vs. Savory Showdown! On Rochester‘s brunch map, Simply Crepes is a prominent name, hailed by countless bloggers as a “super popular must-visit Brunch spot.” With endlessly variable crepes as the star, it draws crowds to the quaint village of Pittsford. This time, armed with expectations of “amazingly delicious,” I embarked on the ultimate taste test between sweet and savory crepes, discovering that the power of sweetness is truly irresistible! 🍯 🏡 Ambiance & First Impressions: A Sweet Stop by the Village Canal The restaurant is located in picturesque Schoen Place, Pittsford, right by the Erie Canal. Huge windows invite canal views and sunlight inside, creating a bright, cozy atmosphere full of American countryside leisure. It‘s more than a restaurant; it‘s a destination for weekend relaxation and slow living. Glancing at the extensive crepe menu instantly triggers (choice paralysis)! 🍓 Sweet Victory: The Divine Seasonal Special Following the server‘s recommendation, I decisively chose the soon-to-be-discontinued Lemon Raspberry Chiffon Crepe. As a seasonal special, it lived up to the hype, earning a solid five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The thin, pliable crepe wrapped around a cloud-like lemon chiffon cream, dotted with fresh raspberries. The first taste was a bright, refreshing lemon sweetness, followed by the subtle tang of raspberries, perfectly balancing the cream‘s richness. The texture was delightful, the flavors distinctly layered, like eating a dessert that breathes. The only advice: Portions are huge; strongly recommend sharing! Finishing one alone might lead to a (sweet “coma”). 😇 🥓 The Savory Experience: An Interesting Try, Slightly Discordant For a comprehensive review, I also tried the savory Rugby Crepe. Labeled on the menu as “The best thing I ever ate,” its fillings were indeed hearty: packed with eggs, ham, cheese, and… roasted potatoes. 🧐 Ingredient-wise, it‘s a solid, substantial brunch. However, wrapping all these savory items inside a slightly sweet crepe created a (curious) sense of discord. The soft, faintly sweet crepe seemed to be having an uncoordinated conversation with the rich, salty fillings. Not bad, but it takes some getting used to. For steadfast savory fans, it might feel uniquely appealing. 🥔 A Minor Ordering Mishap: The Importance of Information Symmetry We also ordered Loaded Potato. It was a decent, loaded baked potato with generous cheese, bacon, sour cream, etc. But when we realized the Rugby Crepe already contained a significant amount of roasted potato, a pang of (redundant) regret hit! 💡 So, carefully reading dish descriptions or asking servers about ingredients beforehand can help avoid this “carb-overlap” dilemma. 💡 Key Takeaways & Ultimate Advice Flavor Choice: If it‘s your first visit, stay firmly on Team Sweet! This is heaven for sweet crepes. Combinations with fruits, ice cream, chocolate, nuts, etc., will not disappoint. Savory Attempts: If trying savory, opt for fillings more “Western” in profile, like spinach and mushrooms with white sauce, which might harmonize better than a “full breakfast” combo. Sharing Strategy: Both crepes and sides are large, perfect for sharing with friends or family to sample more flavors. Surrounding Fun: Schoen Place itself is a beautiful waterfront plaza with shops. A post-meal stroll is ideal for digestion and soaking in the village vibe. Overall, Simply Crepes is a true “destination restaurant.” It offers a unique and sweet option for Rochester‘s brunch scene. Although the sweet-vs-savory battle ended with a sweet victory for me, that doesn‘t diminish its appeal as a perfect excuse for a weekend escape and a ritualistic, delightful breakfast. Just remember to bring your biggest sweet tooth and a willingness to share! ❤️ 📍 Address: 7 Schoen Pl, Pittsford, NY 14534 #RochesterFood#RochesterEats#Rochester#RochesterNY#UpstateNY#RochesterFoodReview
