Signature Dishes: Raspberry sweet cheese or gyro crepes at Cream of the Crépe in Uptown Park Ridge

Cream of the Crêpe
8 S. Northwest Highway in Park Ridge
847-720-4246
CreamoftheCrepe.com

Cream of the Crêpe, in the heart of Uptown, will whisk you away to the streets of Paris with their creative crepe, panini, pastry, coffee and smoothie selections, all made to order in minutes using fresh ingredients.

Raspberry cheese crepe

You can actually take your pick between blueberry or raspberry to satisfy your sweet tooth here. Our French-style pancake was filled with a raspberry sweet cheese, berries and graham crackers, then drizzled with a berry sauce with whipped cream on the side. Simply delightful.

Gyro crepe

This French-Greek combination falls into the savory category on the menu. A generous portion of gyro meat is paired with caramelized onion, mozzarella, lettuce, tomato and tzatziki sauce for a unique blend of cultural favorites — but without the guilt of a heavier, traditional gyro.
