For many people, “Chinatown” in New York means the one in downtown Manhattan. But, if you ask the people who knows about the “REAL” Chinatown, they will tell you it is in Flushing, Queens. Tasty crepes also can be found in Flushing as well, at this lovey spot called A-Crepe. It is located inside the Arcadia Mall, right on Main Street.
When we arrived, the owner David was very busy making all the orders that came in through the online order. He told us that it will be a while before he can take our order, and since we were not in a hurry, we were ok to wait. After he finished making loads of crepes, without a second of rest, he greeted us with a warm smile and took our order.
For drinks, we ordered Matcha Boba Tea and Strawberry Milk Boba. He asked if wanted the Matcha one sweetened, and I asked him to make it “not too sweet.” The result was perfect sweetness! It had a really great matcha flavor, super tasty! Boba was plump and chewy like mochi, in a good way.
Strawberry Milk Boba had a very pretty pink color, with nice strawberry flavor. It was like delectable strawberry milk drink, something I’ve had in Japan a few times, and of course, loved… This was really awesome!
For crepes, they offer Sweet Crepes, Gourmet Salad Crepes, Pizza Crepes, and Breakfast Crepes. How fun is that??? And their crepes are gluten free.
We chose Strawberry Cheesecake Crepe and Spicy Shrimp Avocado Salad Crepe. The strawberry one, strawberries were perfectly ripe, with a generous amount of cream and custard. The ice cream had real bits of strawberries in it, and Pocky makes it extra fun to eat! The size of the crepe is really nice too.
The salad one had a nice kick to it, which I really enjoyed. A good amount of shrimp in there, being friendly with creamy avocado. Everything was super fresh, the greens had a nice crunchy texture. It is cool that you can get “salad to go” in a crepe!
We had a lovely lunch here. David was very friendly and welcoming, and everything we had a was really good. Crepes were light and airy, with elegant sweetness. We were comfortably full and our...
Read moreGreat place for delicious crepes. They are very aware of their gluten free options and are familiar with what you can and can’t have. Their dessert crepes are phenomenal, and you can add a scoop of Haagen Dazs ice cream to them too! Delicious combo and a great find. They informed me the sesame dressing contains gluten, but the spicy dressing in the southwest chicken and spicy shrimp are fine. I tried the shrimp and absolutely loved it. Never a line either. Guy who works there every time I go is also very friendly. There is a small seating area there and a restroom downstairs. I've been three times so far and would definitely...

I enjoy getting the savory crepes. They do fill me up. I could even order two, and it won’t break the bank.
