My thoughts:
I had convinced my sisters to go to Millie Creperie after I showed them an array of pictures on Yelp. Not knowing that the establishment closed at such an early hour of 8pm, we walked here from Playa Cabana, and to our dismay, the place was closed. (We had a hard time finding this place and had called the place. I was surprised that the staff still took our call even though they were closed. Alas though, as nice as they were, they didn't offer to serve us just one crepe, but that's understandable.)
And mildly downtrodden, we wandered eastward along Dundas, and stumbled upon a cafe across from the AGO. A quick once-over of the menu that was posted outside revealed that served crepes, and so in we went.
The layout is in interesting one. At least one that I have never come across. The establishment is half art gallery/half cafe. The gallery is small and forms the half closer to the entrance. The back half is the cafe.
The clientele was mostly seniors and artsy-looking people (not that I mind either kind). The staff were friendly and patient.
We decided on a banana walnut crepe ($9.50), which was a crepe filled with banana, honey, walnut and topped with vanilla ice cream and garnished with organic chocolate and roasted pistachio. No real complaints or anything remarkable to say about the crepe. It really was quite ordinary. I noticed that the bananas were cooked (grilled or baked maybe? Hopefully not microwaved!), which I didn't like.
This wasn't a bad experience, but I've had much better crepes elsewhere. Wish we'd made it to Millie Creperie before they closed. Oh well. Next time.
