If you’re looking for a fresh, unique meal idea, A.B.’s Coffee and Crêpes,17 W. Ninth St., is the perfect place to try something different. “It’s something that’s not the most obvious choice for a meal and something new for people to try,” says Erin Birney, Winfield junior and a frequenter of A.B.’s Coffee and Crêpes.

The shop offers a variety of crêpes, including breakfast crêpes made with eggs and cheese, lunch crêpes made with a variety of meats and veggies and, of course, dessert crêpes. All crêpes cost about $6. Birney says her favorite crêpe is the Black Forest crêpe, which is made with ham, apples and Brie cheese.

The portions aren’t skimpy, either. One crêpe is large enough to satisfy even the biggest appetite, so if you want to try a few different kinds, plan on sharing.

The shop is small, with two tables and four bar stools, so if there is no room to sit, take your crêpes to go. The setting is quite intimate, and the owner, who just goes by A.B., greets the regulars by name.

“It’s more personal than most places,” Birney says. “A.B. makes the crêpes right in front of you, and while he’s making the meal you’re able to have a conversation with him.”

However, make sure you say everything you need to before the crêpes are served, because once they are, you’ll be too busy eating to have a conversation.
