High Noon Crepe
Regardless of the name, you can order this western-themed Overwatch-inspired creation made from a barbecue spice-infused crepe stuffed with chorizo, eggs, piquillo peppers, fingerling potatoes, caramelized onions, and sour cream any time of day.
Freaks and Greeks
When the Creperie couldn't decide between two themes for their monthly secret menu item, they combined their final two choices and birthed this tasty concoction. This Full House meets Freaks & Geeks crossover crepe is dill-infused with feta, spinach, Roma tomato, kalamata olives, grape leaves and a house made tzatziki sauce.
Berry Manilow
With one of the sweetest and smoothest voices around, the Berry Manilow seeks to capture the unique essence of singer Barry Manilow's persona and sound. This permanent menu item is a poppy seed-infused crepe with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, blueberry preserve, cheesecake cream cheese, and powdered sugar.
The Stark Chocolate
A pop culture-inspired menu is never complete without something based on one of TV's most popular high fantasy shows. Inspired by Game of Thrones' Arya Stark (and the rather bloody imagery her family inspires), this traditional base crepe features homemade dark chocolate spread, raspberry puree, and raspberry whipped cream.
Toasty Strudel
This crepe of the month, inspired by Mean Girl's Gretchen Weiners (the daughter of the inventor of Toaster Strudel, in case you forgot) is totally fetch. The graham cracker-infused crepe was made with fresh strawberries, melted butter and sugar, then topped with glaze.
The Jiggly Fluff
This Pokémon-inspired crepe uses one of the game's most adorable creatures—dual-type Normal/Fairy Pokémon Jigglypuff—as its direct inspiration and features Nutella (a Paris Creperie favorite) and a lot of extra fluff. We're pretty sure there's no defense move strong enough to resist this pink-colored crepe.
The Captain Planet Crepe
This menu item combined the powers of your taste buds to summon this colorful and tasty crepe based on the memorable Earth-saving '90s Saturday morning cartoon hero. Released around Earth Day, this Captain Planet creation was a lemon and sugar crepe featuring sunny lemon glaze and whipped cream clouds.
The Nan-Bear-Pig
Based on a cryptid (human-bear-pig) from a season 10 episode South Park, The Paris Creperie morphed the terrifying fictional creature into a sweet, salty, and savory crepe. Infused with cinnamon, the crepe also featured cookie butter, bananas, bacon, and was garnished with doughnut glaze. It was sure to be the stuff of your—and Al Gore's—nightmares.
Omellete You Finish
On the more clever side of The Paris Creperie's menu comes this nod to one of the MTV Video Music Awards most memorable—and memeable—moments. This Kanye-Taylor feud-inspired crepe includes parmesan, cheddar, tomato, red onion, and was topped with a fried egg, arugula, and sriracha-cashew aioli.
The Buddy Crepe
This holiday-inspired crepe is a play on the main food groups of Santa's helpers in the 2003 Will Ferrell comedy, Elf. The crepe combined Nutella, M&M's, candy cane crumbles, and mint glaze, which is easily a more appetizing option than Buddy's favorite: maple syrup and spaghetti.
Ron Swanson's Ameri-Crepe
There is no one who loves America more than Parks and Recreation's Ron Swanson, which is why this July 4 secret menu item was a perfect fit. This hearty American crepe featured bacon, eggs, American cheese, sausage, and ham before being topped with bacon bits and maple syrup.
