Crepe Creation Café

Crepe Creation Café features the traditional French dish and wines by the glass or bottle.

Finding a French restaurant in a bigger city usually isn’t difficult, but in the seafood haven of Myrtle Beach, French food is the exception not the norm. Sure there are lots of Italian, Mexican, and Chinese places to choose from, and some really good ones too, but French? Mais non!

So when this little French café opened a few years ago in the Market Common offering lighter fare for lunch as well as a breakfast menu, it was délicieux.

Since then Crepe Creation Café has moved to the north end of Market Common and expanded both their dining area and their menu. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and recently added a happy hour from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

What is a Crepe?

Crepes in their simplest form are like very thin pancakes, but oh the possibilities! The French often sprinkle sugar on them, roll them up and pop them into their mouths. This traditional French dish can also be spread with vegetables or meats for an entrée, or fresh fruit or custard for a dessert. Then they are rolled and topped with savory sauces, cream, or ice cream.

French Food on the Menu

The café’s menu features breakfast crepes with scrambled eggs paired with a variety of meats, vegetables, and cheeses. The Santé Fe gives crepes a southwest twist with scrambled egg, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, sour cream, and salsa, while the Swiss Morning is an eye-opening combination of scrambled egg, Swiss cheese, mushrooms, Black Forest ham, tomatoes, and hollandaise sauce.

Lunch crepes feature chicken, lamb, steak, bacon, tomatoes, spinach, asparagus, onions, mushrooms, lettuces, and lots more combinations, including an all veggie crepe. Gluten-free crepes are also available.

The service is fast, but it’s not fast food. Each crepe is made to order, so it takes a little time to create a fresh, individually made dish. There’s plenty of time to enjoy the conversation.

The menu also offers a variety of Belgian waffles, Paninis, soups, salads, and cheese and meat platters. There are specialty coffees, cappuccinos and lattes, a short list of beers, and a brief but reasonably priced wine list by the glass or bottle, along with mimosas and the house-made red Sangria.
