Cafe L’Aube Returns to Graduate Hospital

Posted by Foobooz on January 16th, 2013

Cafe L’Aube has returned to Graduate Hospital, opening inside the NextFab Studio space at 2025 Washington Avenue. The cafe serves coffee, French pastries and of course, crepes. Cafe L’Aube’s original location was on the 1500 block of South Street but closed shortly after owner Jean-Luc Fanny opened his second location in Fairmount.

Fanny will also be roasting out of the location and his roaster hooked up and ready to go. And this opening is just the latest for what looks to be an empire on the making. Fanny is also looking to open near Rittenhouse Square.

As for NextFab Studio, it looks to be a high-tech playground for Philadelphia artists and innovators. Check out the grand opening tomorrow.

Coffee and Crepes and Shakes, Oh My!

Posted by Maegan Cadet on December 10th, 2012

Who says crepes are only for the French? No one really, but the question had to be asked because Philly is set to get one more creperie: Global Crepes and Local Shakes. Set to open in Passyunk Square this January, owner Liza Iezzi is hoping to bring good food and memories, inspired by a shop her grandfather owned on 11th and Christian.

The cafe will serve coffee, crepes, homemade shakes, and an assortment of teas, ice creams, and wraps. If you want to get a sneak peek at Iezzi’s crepes, head over to Christmas Village at Love Park, where she’s serving crepes and baked waffles. Rumor has it Nutella is involved.

So Crepe Coming to South Street West

Posted by Foobooz on October 17th, 2012

We here at Foobooz World Headquarters shed more than one tear when creperie and coffee shop Cafe L’Aube closed on South Street. So imagine our excitement when we spotted signs for So Crêpe at 1506 South Street. Owner Fabrice Goutte told us that So Crepe will be a casual restaurant of course focusing on crepes. The restaurant’s tagline is “So Simple, So Healthy, So Gourmet, So French.” Goutte and his partners hope to be open before the year is out but the former salon will need a complete redo before it becomes a crepe spot.

Roti, Crespelle, and Other Crepe-Like Objects

Posted by Aubrey Nagle on August 30th, 2012

Researching for our Foobooz Six Pack on crepes in Philadelphia got us thinking about other thin pancake-like dishes that we’ve seen around town. From Italian, to Trinidadian, to Ethiopian varieties it is clear that crepes are not just for Francophiles anymore.
