UPDATE – March 25, 2011: Happily, it looks like Crepe Avenue has been working out the kinks. The guys behind the counter are much faster at putting out the product now. And best of all, the haphazard seating has been reorganized.
I’m convinced there’s no way to take a pretty picture of a crepe. If [...]
There’s finally a bakery in Kensington again, yay! Malicher is located next to Nellie’s. There’s a handwritten sandwich board on Kensington Road advertising lunch specials and baked goods.
