Crepes + Coffee = Cafe Bonaparte
Some people love crepes while others not so much. I guess I fall in the latter category. I can do with out thin pancakes for the most part. What I can’t live without is great food and coffee and Cafe Bonaparte certainly delivers on both.
My favorite spot is at the bar where I can have a little more space if it isn’t too crowded, plus you don’t have to wait if there is a seat available.
The coffee here is excellent and I recomend the various espresso they have. The Dulce Espresso starts out with a dulce laced cup and finished with whip cream. Their lattes can be considered art in some circles but the taste is what is important and they deliver.
Their crepes are filled with fresh ingredients. The Verona is filled with ground Italian sausage, caramelized onions, green peppers, and two cheeses, provolone and fontina. I honestly wanted to pick this up and eat it like a breakfast burrito as I almost did with the Florentine.
The omletes and other plates servered are filling and some would find it difficult to finish the entire meal, I know I do and I can eat!
The sweet crepes are enough for 2 so share. I’m not much of a sweets guy so I tend to go the savory route when it comes to crepes but if you must try one, go with the Dulce, which is filled with fresh bananas and Ducle de leche.
This has become a favorite of mine. It provides such an international flare and takes me back to Paris or Buenos Aires each time I walk in.


The only crepes I have eaten are sweet ones but while in New York last summer, I ran into several crepe shops that serve savory crepes. And people would walk out of the crepe shops eating it like a burrito. Will have to stop by Cafe Bonaparte to eat one of their savory crepes soon.
