A Taste of Paris in Yorkville

No need to fly to Paris to find the perfect crepe…
Yorkville Creperie is right around the corner!

On a snowy New York afternoon, there is no better way to warm your hands and belly than a rich, delicious crepe from the Yorkville Creperie. Whether it is a quick lunch, after-dinner dessert, Sunday brunch, or coffee break while browsing the Internet using the creperie’s free wireless - there is something for everyone at Yorkville Creperie.

Having only been open since April 2009, this hot spot is the go-to Upper East Side eatery for both sweet and savory crepes. With a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, the Yorkville Creperie offers overflowing natural light, mellow music, aromatic coffee, and a variety of seating including over-sized comfortable couches, standard tables, or even a charming alcove in the corner.

As I settled into my cozy alcove, I browsed the diverse menu of sweet and savory crepes, salads, and panini’s. My eyes and taste buds shifted immediately to the U.E.S. crepe. This unique crepe, dedicated to local Upper East Siders such as myself, combines life’s sweetest pleasures by layering a chocolate brownie, bananas, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and drizzled with Nutella! Before I could indulge in my sweet tooth, I started with the Roma Crepe – an herb crepe with chicken, mozzarella, and tomato bruschetta. Yum!


While enjoying my Roma and Upper East Side crepes, I admired the beautiful artwork displayed on the walls throughout the cafe. Chris Boyce, one of the owners of Yorkville Creperie, explained to me that local artists approach him to showcase their art. Artists typically display for one to two months and all pieces are available for purchase. This local creative touch brings a special intimacy and connection to customers with their Upper East Side neighborhood.

Next time you are craving something sweet or savory, there is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a ticket to Paris, just head over to the Yorkville Creperie located at 1586 York Avenue between 83rd and 84th Streets and enjoy local food, art, and ambience!
