Why Crepes are Fun for Kids

You’ve been to those stuffy little eateries where kids seem like an afterthought. That’s not how we do things at The Skinny Pancake. We’ve thoughtfully crafted a kids’ menu for little hands and inquisitive minds, combining colorful foods kids will love to try with familiar favorites you know they’ll eat. Plus, crepes are easy for kids to hold and eat on the go when there’s no time for a sit-down.

Growing children and parents alike love the open crepe-spinning window. That’s right, crepes are spun. You and the kids get to watch the process as our expert cooks scratch-make your food from fresh, real, and local ingredients.

It’s interactive and entertaining—an opportunity for children to learn about how food is made. And as they see the food of others being made too, it encourages even picky eaters to ask “what’s that” and try new things next time you visit.

We turn mealtime into the most exciting part of your back-to-school shopping adventure.

More than Crepes

Of course, we love crepes. It’s in our name—The Skinny Pancake. But we also offer burgers, salads, soups, and snacks that appeal to all ages—all crafted with the same locally-sourced, wholesome ingredients.

If you’re looking for a quick bite or drink, you can enjoy coffee, local craft beer, or a fresh salad while kids tuck into crepes. Did we mention, kids love our crepes?
