From Baltimore to Paris via Sofi's Crepes - Page 2

The location on North Charles is one small room with a U-shaped red counter and matching stools. In the center of the U are three crepieres — large round heating plates designed specifically for making deliciousness — and most of the ingredients. The batter is poured, worked into a thin skin with wooden tools, and topped with ingredients. Even though I watched closely, I missed the step where they added the fresh squeezed awesomeness. The hands that folded and wrapped our crepes were clearly well trained and well practiced.

Crepes run between $4 and $8 at either of the two locations. The one we visited is entered through the Women's Industrial Exchange store or the side door on Pleasant Street. They are also at 1723 N. Charles Street, next door to the Charles Theater. Plans are in the works for an Annapolis waterfront shop as well. For more information on what will no doubt become a perfectly pleasant habit, visit their website.

As I went through my day, I kept returning to what my wife said about nothing else tasting as good. As usual, she was right. In fact, even days later, this is heartbreakingly true.

    Thanks for the post. I didn't realize they had two locations.
