Creme De La Crepe: Best Crepes
Crème de La Crepe brought a touch of Paris to Hermosa well before the sidewalk widening. Photo
What started as a single location in Hermosa Beach has become a business empire built on French pancakes. Crème de la Crepe now has locations as far away as Beverly Hills. And though they now serve fondue and a wide-ranging menu, the core is still their crepes. They make their savory batter with buckwheat flour and sweet with white flour and fill them with all manner of delights. The attention to detail and reverence for tradition keeps this the place we go when crepe cravings hit. — RF
