I have generally liked most of the crepes I've had at Cafe Crepe. I crave and miss savory crepes being served with the traditional Breton sarrasin/buckwheat batter, but since this isn't France, I shouldn't complain.
However, tonight was the first time I was dismayed at what was on my plate and so I just wanted to make a public service announcement so you don't make the same mistake I do: If you order the strawberry/banana/Nutella crepe, the aforementioned ingredients which are listed on the menu, will be served to you under chocolate sauce of Hershey's-esque quality.
The delicious Nutella you were expecting will be barely perceptible, hiding inside the crepe which is swimming in the sauce under a mound of whipped cream. For the purist, this is a bit bewildering, so I advise requesting the Nutella crepe, hold the cup of chocolate sauce.

What a surreal and crazy concept to combine cajun and Vietnamese cuisines! I ordered the Cajun Bun which was the traditional Vietnamese Bun served with cajun sausage and crawfish. The crawfish fortunately tasted really fresh and it was surprisingly spicy and delicious, with cilantro and carrots and dried onions complementing the meat and vermicelli.
While the ambiance is somewhat lacking (I abhor the overhead fluorescent lighting that is ever-present in strip mall restaurants), it does have a rather eye-catching combination of Vietnamese and Cajun decor.

Every time someone walks into my bedroom, the first thing they notice is my Sarabi Studio stainless steel bench. It is a beautiful piece with perfectly joined seams and a really nice soft feel to the brushed steel.
I am amazed that we have this kind of craftsmanship and gorgeous design for modern furniture in Austin. I love the combination of natural woods and organic shapes with clean lines and metals in their furniture.
I've been thinking about which piece to get next. It's fun to see their steel planters around town and I also loved the painted reclaimed file cabinet planters that I saw at an Austin Home Show too. Maybe I'll try to pimp my garden or give my indoor plants a more swanky home!

Did inspection quickly. Friendly and with free wifi.
Very reasonable prices for the quantity and quality of food. We had chicken with pistachios and apricots surrounded by shittake jus, tender squid with capers, a great port and a rich chocolate dessert. My mouth is watering as I think about it!

Real Estate Agents
Neighborhood: East Austin
I am very picky about which real estate agents I work with. After some difficult and costly experiences trying to buy a house on my own, I doubted I could find anyone who would be experienced enough to meet my standards. Fortunately, through a friend's recommendation, I found the GoodLife Team and was thrilled with the experience I had in having them help me find my dream home.
Scott Wiley, my buyer's agent, was dependable, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to work with. When I needed a lot of information about any of the properties we saw, he diligently went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my questions were answered. It was great how he and the team kept the process on track and made it all a lot less stressful.
I felt very fortunate that we found my dream home in the first week after looking at a small handful of properties! All in all, a great experience.

Straightforward deliciousness. Bring your appetite.
I was glad to have the lowdown from the other reviews on how to navigate this place and shared the info with some confused tourists who were grateful. Thanks, Yelp!
Now to devour the rest of this gargantuan fresh prosciutto, mozzarella and sun dried tomato sandwich! Sooo tasty!

Tasty pastries and nice cappuccino with a thick head. I came in for the Sacripantina, but when I saw its size, I realized that I should probably bring a friend back to enjoy it with me. Instead, I got a bunch of other delicious goodies (macaroon, almond cookie, jelly cookie, hazelnut biscotti) and I left satisfied.
The ambiance isn't the most deluxe, but being able to sit out front makes for a good street spectacle on a nice day.

Why You Should Read My ReviewsBecause you're hungry and I was too
My Second Favorite Website My First ConcertJackson Victory Tour
I love the following and would order all of them again:
madai (japanese bream, shiso, meyer lemon zest, olive oil)
loup crudo )mediterranean sea bass, texas grapefruit, avocado, fennel vinegar)
brussels sprouts (crispy brussels sprouts, lemon chili)
pork jowl (brussels sprout kimchee, preserved lemon crème fraiche, romaine) -- this was my second favorite. So succulent and crispy and dreamy.
Wagyu sous vide short ribs (cooked for 3 days!) -- this was my very favorite. It was meat that had more of the consistency of rich butter. It was the most tender meat I have ever eaten.
The wakatake onikoroshi "demon slayer" junmai daiginjo ($110) was the most deluxe and delicious bottle of sake I have ever had.
My knees go week when I think of Uchiko.
