Crepes

Its tradition for Huy and I to head to our favorite crepes cafe, Cafe L'Aube, every weekend if we're in town. We usually drive there from West Philly, but its also accessible through public transportation by taking the orange line to Lombard, which is a block away from the cafe, located at 1512 South St, Philadelphia, PA 19146.

It has amazing savory and sweet crepes! Huy always gets the nutella with bananas and I always make a decision on a savory crepes, from bacon with leeks to ham with Swiss cheese, they are all delicious! The amazing thing about this cafe is that its local and its very reasonably priced.

Most crepes are around $6 to $10, and the coffee is to die for. Its very strong so if you like Wawa's coffee, this coffee isn't for you.

There's local artwork hanging on the colorful walls of the cafe, so its a good way to support your local artists, and view their work. The one that is behind me in the photo was a yellow orange watercolor painting that highlighted the orange wall paint.

The owner is very nice too. He's from France, and so if you speak French, don't hesitate to make conversation with him. That doesn't mean he doesn't speak English, but its a way for you to use your French language skills that you probably don't use every day.


I absolutely adore this place and if you're in Philly, you can check out this hidden gem too!
