Crêpes à la Cart (New Orleans, LA)

Crêpes à la Cart is a catering service that serves delicious crêpes with filling of your choice. They’re at all the NOLA festivals and can be hired for an event as well. I’ve had them 3 times this year! I had crêpes at the Fried Chicken Festival 2016 and Gretna Food Truck Festival 2016 this past weekend and at Wednesdays at the Square (WATS) a few months ago. My verdict? Delicious! They are definitely hit or miss depending on who’s working the booth. Great crepes and service at the WATS and Fried Chicken Festival, but a big FAIL at Gretna Food Truck Fest 2016. Execution and service was slow and poor that day. My favorite flavor? Speculoos, a delicious cookie butter found at Trader Joe’s. I’ve seen them use a generic cookie butter brand also but it’s still good.

I was in the neighborhood and craving some Dat Dog on Magazine St when I noticed some changes. Dat Dog now has a cute little art market where you can enjoy your hot dog and peruse some cute local art. At the front of the market is a a little stand owned by an adorable French couple who came to the states to share some ice rolls with us!

Speculoos, a cookie butter, is my favorite so far! I also tried the Oreo and that’s good too. My group was lucky since it was the last one of the day. Typically, they serve until there’s no more cream. The presentation could be quite showy, but it’s definitely a more artistic style to ice cream-making. If you’re in the area, try it! That’s all I gotta say!

TIPS: CASH ONLY
