5 reviews for Chic Crepe Panini Etc
OMG!!! PARIS has landed in AUSTIN!!!!
I've traveled to France and never did i find such a similar taste or feeling...
In Paris i loved sitting at a corner cafe enjoying a delicious crepes listening to the wave of people walking by...
The Ambiance is truly fun the staff is gorgeous and so sweet and the crepes are truly good ....
my favorites will have to be the smoked salmon crepe and Crepe Madame!!!
I will not be going back to the other crepe places around town !
"Chic Crepes & Panini " is as close as it gets to Paris...
I am looking for these ladies. I was the Insurance Agent when they had the loss. Please have them contact me at 512-836-1395 x 428

We split an order of the crepes Suzette and the Nutella and banana crepes. The wait was very very long even though it was moderately busy. Luckily there was a nice picnic table to lounge on while we watched a girl get busted for drunk driving. We were waiting long enough to see her fail all of the tests and watch her car get towed away.
The crepes were finished and served nice and hot. I took a bite of the crepes Suzette-gagged and spit it out. Now I am a girl who ended up with a 2nd degree burn in her mouth rather than be rude and spit food out in public. It was that nasty. UGH worse than cough syrup!
Now the Nutella and banana flavor was a different story. oooooheeeee that was one good crepe. A bit think and tortilla like but tasty. Personally anything with Nutella is going to be tasty. Thus the 2 stars instead of 3.
Doubt I will be going back.
I'm walking down congress ave on a hot spring day after just getting a tastey smoothy at Amy's ice-cream and a month's worth of cat food from Rivers & Reefs when I pass by the dusty gravel food stand area.
Oh look, a Crepe place sprouted up! It is spring, and the food stands are beginning to bloom on SoCo. I wander past the cone stand, the Roppolo's pizza stand (why would I ever eat there when Homeslice and South Side Flying are so close?) and some other stand and walk up.
Its her 4th day being open. I decide to give it a try.
The options are not as exciting as Flip Happy's or Cafe Crepe's menu. I order something with Gruyere and Béchamel sauce, sit down in the sun until it is ready.
To my disappointment, the crepe is a bit overcooked with a deep-brown color. It looks and tastes like a pancake. The first few bites were good, but then it just got really boring. The flavor had no depth to it.
If the already bleak county-fair atmosphere couldn't get any worse, the noisy generator kicked in to overdrive as Chic Crepe turned on the stereo to play some French music over a single, distorting and underpowered computer speaker pointed right at my table.
Enough. I didn't pay $7 for a Crepe to sit in a dusty parking lot, listen to horribly reproduced music over the loud droning of a generator kindly reminding me that supporting this park is doing its own slow part in killing the environment. Maybe they'll get better, maybe the prices will go down, the generator will disappear, the speaker system will get upgraded (or shut off), and it will be enjoyable.
Until then, if I need a crepe, I'm going to Cafe Crepe where I can sit at a nice sidewalk cafe, watch people walk down the quiet city street and feel like, just maybe, I was in France.
The crepes are excellent and the Panini's are some of the best I have ever had. The bread for the Paninis is lite flaky, slightly sweet and absolutely delicious. They are made to order on site and the staff is outstanding. Three French ladies doing their thing in what has become an Austin explosion, out of a trailor across the street from South congress Cafe,, I will be going back,,
