So, Friday after Christmas, Regina and I FINALLY (and I mean finally–we hadn’t seen each other since JULY) got together for a brunch date. Where did we go? A cute-as-can-be little creperie in Buffalo near the zoo. Andrew and I had actually pointed it out before while driving by and remarked that it was a must-try.
We ordered coffee first–a regular for her and a Vanilla Ginger Latte for me. I was all set to get a regular coffee (cheaper, fewer calories), but the word ‘ginger’ on the menu caught my eye and I couldn’t resist.
There was even a hunk of crystallized ginger in the mug! I would definitely get it again. Andrew is a huge crepe fan (who knew?), so I’m sure we’ll find our way back there at some point.
When we decided on our breakfast, it was a nutella and banana topped crepe for Regina and a baked-brie-filled, sauteed apples-topped crepe for me. Heavenly.
And, fingers-crossed, Regina and I have another date coming up next week. This time, we’ll probably partake in a little frozen yogurt…
