Cool Cafe review

I have a new favorite restaurant in San Antonio! My bff, Lauren, came to San Antonio to visit. Knowing how much she loves crepes (with Nutella and banana, specifically) I did a search for crepes in the city. There weren't many results, but one of the few really got my attention: Cool Cafe, a little local place with a random Greek/Italian/American/Thai menu and...crepes! Savory and sweet, any kind you can imagine. So...we went. And let me tell you, we were NOT disappointed!

I had the "Fisherman" crepe - shrimp, green onions, and a peanut sauce, all wrapped in a thin delicious crepe. Served with a little green salad on the side, it was delicious!



Lauren had the Thai basmati rice, which boasted spinach, bell peppers, black oives, green onions, and a peanut sauce. She loved it - saved the leftovers and ate more later, in fact!


And of course for dessert we had CREPES, but we inhaled them so quickly that we forgot to take photos! So I'm going to convince Nick to take me back, and when he does, I promise to take photos of dessert. To whet your appetite, I'll tell you what we had: Lauren, of course, had a classic crepe with Nutella and banana. It was INCREDIBLE - just like the street vendors sell in France, if you can believe it! I had the "Jamaican" crepe, with bananas and coconut in caramel. It was heavenly. You can believe me, because we inhaled them! And at about $3.50 apiece, these wonderful desserts were well worth the trip.

I'm going back, you can bet on it!
