Inspired by street vendors serving crepes in Paris, France, Chef Oded Yefet decided to take the delights of a fresh crepe and combine it with the minimalist style of a hotel/restaurant dining experience for North Americans. As a result, the urban cafe of Crepe Delicious was born.
Serving sweet and savory crepes since 2004 and luxurious gelato since 2010, Crepe Delicious now boasts more than 40 locations as the company continues to expand worldwide. Crepe Delicious began franchising in 2005 and is offering locations in the United States, Canada, and more.
