Crepes a la Carte


If you’re lucky enough to be walking through the streets of Minturn, Vail, or Breckenrige, Colorado you’re lucky enough.  That’s for sure.  
So how lucky are you considered if you just so happen to be eating a crepe at the same time?  I’d say effing lucky.  Really effing lucky.  
Crepes a la Carte was started by a mother and son team in the late 90’s and is a staple at the Minturn Market on Saturdays and Vail Farmers Market on Sundays during the summer.  They have 3 full time eateries in Breckenridge, Boulder, and New Orleans.  
Rounding the corner at these markets, you’ll normally stumble upon organized chaos—the line of people waiting for a crepe.  I may or may not have stood in this line upwards of half hour for a crepe once…just saying.   Yes, they’re that good.

The batter is thin—not fragile, but not pancake-y.  The ingredients are fresh.  The people are fun.  You really can’t beat this combo.  And they have crepes to suit all tastebuds:  breakfast, savory, and sweet.  


My favorites include the BEST (bacon, egg, spinach, tomato), Parisian (brie, mustard, and ham), and Nutella & Bananas.  My tastes are always changing, but a crepe is a staple at the Minturn Market!  They’re not greasy, they can be healthy…if you choose, and make your tastebuds sing!
