Simply Crepes Raleigh

About the Business

Specialties

Simply Crêpes is a full service "polished casual" restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. We serve beer, wine, specialty coffees and frozen drinks year round! Catering options include box lunches, party platters and customized solutions for you to enjoy at your office or home! Our goal is to "simplify the mystique of the crepe" by serving many recipes that are very familiar to our customers. Examples of those include Buffalo Chicken Crêpe, Philly Cheese Steak Crêpe and Banana Split Crêpe. At the same time our goal is to give many recipes a unique twist from the norm by serving items like Chicken Tarragon Crêpe, Goat Cheese and Arugula Crêpe and Berry Gulée, to name a few. Simply Crêpes is now serving in Rochester, New York, Canandaigua, New York and Raleigh North Carolina.
