Crepe Escape — Restaurant in Lake Charles

Y'all want a review? I'll give you a review.

In summary: 10/10. Go here. This is a business you want to give your money to. Why? If all you need to know is that I never leave reviews and rarely do I then leave five stars, then there you have it, my commendation. But if you want to know all the why they got this glowing review on my second visit, keep reading to the bonafide novel below.

We took my kiddo out for his birthday dinner last night, 4/19, and wanted to get something for desert afterwards. He's on the spectrum and I was sooooo proud of him for wanting to try new things - he picked this place out of a list of options. When I placed our order, I briefly mentioned, in typical awkward-customer-small-talk fashion, that it was his birthday and he just turned eight, which is why he wanted to try rainbow sprinkles (texture is a constant struggle). He didn't order any crepes, just some vanilla ice cream with sprinkles.

I was positively FLOORED when every staff member came filing out to the dining area, carrying a massive, stuffed crepe covered in sprinkles and a candle on top - all of them singing happy birthday to him as they went. I was in tears, overwhelmed with the incredibly kind gesture they showed us and all the enthusiasm to match; I could hardly get his name out when they paused to let me fill in the blank.

To prospective patrons: The answer is yes, to everything. • Their crepes are fabulous and easily the best I've ever had (sorry, Nona). • Their matcha milk boba was fantastic and the tapioca pearls were prepared to perfection. • The mango popping boba my sister ordered received rave reviews from her. • The place was not only clean, but was constantly being kept clean by the employees as they made their way around and double checked each other's work. • All the staff kept their hands clean and I watched them take special care with potential allergens and cross-contamination. • The atmosphere was fun, lively, but also relaxing; it makes me want to read a book and sit by the window with my boba the next time I have some free time for myself. • Everyone was so sweet and friendly, and no one hovered or made the place feel crowded.

If you are looking for a yummy treat and a chill vibe, this is the place. Go in, have a seat, and just enjoy everything they have to offer. You're welcome.

Lastly... To all of you at Crepe Escape, I want you to know that you are the very image of how a business - and other human beings - should aspire to present themselves. You didn't know he's on the spectrum, you didn't know that we were having a less than ideal day, and you didn't know that my kiddo's dad and I recently separated. What I hope you know now, however, is that you made two people's day and created a memory that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much for the sweet experience, fantastic crepes and boba, and for the joy you gave my child, who is still smiling and talking about it today. Thank you for opening and being our last...

Hi, my name is Patrick and I fell in love with the crêpe escape months ago. It’s a great place for a refuge from the chaos For a quiet treat with a book in hand or for bringing the family for a small birthday party. We had a party of over 12 people with several young kids and they did not miss a beat at all. Their staff rocks. Today Ariel and Courtney were the pleasant smiling faces of the business and they were helpful from A to Z in everything from the call ahead to notify of our party intentions to the clean-up and were intentional in offering help with to-go accessories (the food And drink offering is great so you’re going to want to bring it home if you don’t finish it).

Really the whole team has made a great impression ever since I started going. Azeez, of course, comes from a strong family of dutiful servant leaders who take care of business and are no strangers to hard work. And they have assembled a solid team of joyful people whose hospitable intuition brings an appropriate level of charm and comfort to each visit. They don’t just make it pleasant, which they do, but they also make it enriching and I leave feeling like a better person every time because the food is on point the drinks are on point and so is the feeling of less of a burden from life on my shoulders.

They helped make my daughter’s birthday celebration special, which digs deep into my heart in a special way, and I’m grateful for the whole team. If I forgot anybody Please don’t hate me, Because I have much love for all of your good folks time and attention to detail and creativity.

Shout out to Josiah, Cheryl, Jaidyn, and...

After my birthday dinner with family, we were looking for some dessert in town. Most places were closed or closing soon, so we tried the Crepe Escape.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere first of all! Clean and fun vibe! Definitely a cute place to take pics with fam or friends. I could see myself coming day or night for any occasion or just a sweet treat! Music was playing - not too loud, but def loved it. Such a fun environment overall, but not overly stimulating.

Staff was constantly cleaning tables and making sure we were okay. The people at the counter were helpful with menu items and helping us choose the best desserts for each of us.

My mom got the Old Fashion, fiancé got the Funky Monkey, and I ordered the Coffee Milk (with almond milk) add boba and caramel. Everyone’s food was seauxxx delicious! My mom and I even ordered two extra Old Fashions to-go for breakfast tomorrow.

All the food and drinks were made in front of us too, which made the experience so much more interesting and enjoyable.

Overall I’ll 1000% be back and can’t wait to tell more people about this place! You should go check it out. :) any time of the day or week, it’ll be a...
