La Crepe Bakery & Café

Sunday was a gorgeous day, so my lady and I went for a walk in the Metroparks in Berea. I've been in the area pretty frequently, but never took a day to just walk around and take in the sites. Feeling a little peckish after walking around for a bit, we came across La Crepe. I wasn't looking for anything heavy, just a light lunch, so this seemed perfect.

It's a cute little shop with counter service. There is a display with the day's pastries (which all looked delicious), and you can view the staff as they prepare your drinks and food. There is a good amount of seating inside if you feel like sitting in, especially if it's a hot day outside. The cafe is decorated with lots of French inspired decor, which really adds to the ambiance.

We shared the Breakfast Panini, and also an Iced Coffee with a couple Macaroons (Espresso and Tiramisu). The Panini was a gooey, cheesy delight with salty Ham, Spinach, Mozzarella, and a Fried Egg on top. Definitely a fork & knife sandwich. It came with Pickled Vegetables and a side salad of Leafy Greens, Fresh Tomatoes, Shaved Parmesan, and a savory Vinaigrette. For $10, I found it to be a really good deal. The Coffee was balanced and refreshing. The Macaroons were absolutely delicious, they way they melted in your mouth...so good!

La Crepe is a wonderful little place that accents downtown Berea in a lovely way. Just a step away from the park, it's perfect for stopping by after a walk, or for grabbing a bite to take with you and enjoying the scenery. I highly recommend it for a light lunch, and look forward to stopping by again when I am in the area. Be sure to stop by!
