Savory or Sweet?

I'm talking about crepes, of course! Do you like yours savory or sweet?A new crêperie called Melt gelato & crepe café recently opened by my house in the newly expanded section of the Natick Mall, or as the marketeers call it, the Natick Collection. As I was walking through the new section of the mall for the first time, this new eatery caught my eye, since I realized a few years ago that I actually like crepes. There is a crêperie in Greenwich, Connecticut named Meli-Melo that turned me on to crepes for life; crepes and coconut sorbet actually!

Anyway, melt serves a variety of savory and sweet crepes as well as lots of homemade gelatos, smoothies, and coffee drinks. They also have a chocolate fountain and fresh fruit if you prefer chocolate covered fruit!

On my first visit to melt, I decided to go savory with my crepe. I tried the Andalusian crepe, a soft French-style crepe filled with avocado, spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and a mild jack cheese. Served with a side of mixed greens and creamy Italian-like dressing, this crepe was good, very fulfilling. To finish my meal I had a scoop of the coconut macadamia nut gelato, it too was great.

Melt Gelato & Crepe Cafe is a public company (MLTC) and has franchise opportunities available if your interested. I personally just want to go back for a peanut butter and jelly crepe or a strawberries & cream crepe with fresh strawberries, chocolate or nutella, and whipped cream.
