I have been to McAllen TX ... and have even eaten there (1 of 2)…read more This is yet another one of those places you've been to or experiences you've had that seem sort of surreal because you would have never imagined being here. I was in McAllen for a day or two when I spent some time on South Padre Island. Enter Sweet Paris Creperie and Cafe. It's in what seems to be the area's biggest shopping mall and on the side closest to the 2 Expressway and its frontage road, and very close to the airport. I went in one evening and the mall was hopping. You will immediately see this understated store and restaurant ... a French creperie. (I don't remember where to put the circonflexe, accent grave, and accent aigu from 3 years of Catholic high school French, nor am I going to look for them on the keyboard.) So, while a little different from the other chain goings-on in this area, Sweet Paris is tastefully decked out. Crepes tend to be slightly expensive in general. It's all about marketing ... I'm going to sell you something "French" and charge a little more for it. However, I was very hungry. I would be ordering 2 crepes - a dinner crepe with chicken and a dessert crepe with Nutella. Both of the crepes were very good. They offer quite a few options on their menu. From the photos, I saw that they have these "nifty" coffees with a foam design shaped like the Eiffel Tower, but I would not be partaking later in the evening. The service was good. Most people in the Rio Grande Valley tend to be more polite than in most American places I've lived or visited. The interior is very clean and inviting and you should definitely eat in. The mall is so popular, which is a good thing these days, that I had to go out toward the edge of the parking lot to get a space. There was also one of those "blue lights" (not as in a "blue light special") positioned in the parking lot ... and I don't see those too often. Like everything else in this area, things and places are spacious and spread out. But let me get back to Sweet Paris Creperie and Cafe. The crepes here were the real deal. Again, they were indeed good. I also like that, in this smaller urban area, they offer a unique concept like this, hence I'm going with 4 stars for this restaurant.

This place is sooooo cute! We were immediately greeted and asked if this was our first visit. She…read morewent over the different types of coffees and made suggestions for use based on our likes. The Welita coffee was delicious-very chocolatey -so you need to love chocolate. The croissants were crispy and had just the right amount of toppings. The crepes were perfect. Slightly sweet with the powdered sugar and very tasty. They had so many games to play and seating to just chill. There really is no indoor seating. So come prepared to be a little warm.

Super cute I recommend coming here with friends at night time to feel the night time lights vibe…read more They have a tenis court which I think would be really fun with a group or friend. You could also go as a date or to study they have little rooms and outside seating. I Got a caramel toffee iced coffee it was soooo good. The atmosphere and the creativity really stands out here check it out! I am an indecisive person so It was a little hard for me to pick something because I didn't notice any premade drinks with flavors to choose from. That might be nice to add for people like me who don't know what I want but after talking to the barista she made it easy for me and was super sweet.

My boyfriend and I had brunch at crepe town on a Monday morning. They are going to close soon and…read morereopen at a different location so I wanted to try them out before they disappear for a while. It is kind of hidden next to the museum but we found it after a couple of minutes. I can see why they want to move to a different location so you can find them easier and so the seating can maybe look a little more elevated. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and it wasn't too full so we chose to sit in a corner and it wasn't too full pretty quiet. This was a nice little change compared to most brunch places that are loud, we enjoyed being able to talk without yelling. There is only one server so I'm not sure how they do it if it gets busy but he was nice and knowledgeable about the menu. We got a green tea with pineapple and a raspberry tea. They came unsweetened so you could add the sugar you wanted and customize the sweetness. Soft drinks (Coke, sprite etc) were not refillable so I'm not sure if it was a can or bottle. Coffee was available (cafe de olla) and also had free refills. I got the eggs Benedict with a spinach crepe and it was pretty good. I liked the fruit it came with, it was super fresh and the eggs were perfect! My boyfriend got the poblano chicken with a spinach crepe and this one was AMAZINGGGG! I know why the server said it was his favorite. He added some spice with the chile and it was perfect. I would 1000% come back for more and I will definitely go to the new location for this specific plate. The chicken was shredded perfectly, corn, poblano pepper and the cheese was all delicious. We ordered a side of almond flour pancakes because we were pretty hungry and weren't sure if our plates would satisfy us but we loved these! It comes with strawberries, bananas chocolate sauce and I think roasted pecans. It was so yummy and the pancakes were a little dense but the toppings complimented it so well. I do wish the server came back so I could ask for more syrup because my boyfriend and I like to drown our pancakes but that little cup was fine. Overall I would definitely come back and try other things on their menu. I hope they get a soda fountain since I am a Coke Zero addict but their tea was not bad. I also got to try their mostachon with strawberries and that was hands down the best mostachon I have ever had. I will be looking into ordering a full size one because it is worth it!!

It has been over a year since the last time I dined at this location. The meals are great but the…read morefood takes a very long time to come out. I waited about an hour to eat. I had my grand kids with me and they were impatient. I had to keep them entertained. This place is not ideal to bring children. The waitress was nice and accommodating on refilling my coffee and water. Ambience was nice and they had an organist playing music. Just disappointed on being there for two hours.
