Tucked away in the parking lot behind Floribunda Nursery, this crepe stand is housed in a silvery vintage trailer. It's easy to believe the slogan "Made From Scratch With Love" when cradling these foil-wrapped, delectably soft treats that ooze with anything from roasted chicken, caramelized onions and goat cheese to Nutella and bananas. Seating is limited to a few lawn chairs and tables, but the late-risers and workaday types who frequent know to grab a perch anywhere or get it to go. – – High Marks – "Each crepe had different sauces, flavors, spices, and yet each one was…

A great place to eat, if you have time.

by irishindc71

This little trailer serves up some fantastic crepes. In fact, they beat Bobby Flay of the Food Network in a " Crepe Throwdown," in which Flay challenges "the best of the best." Flip Happy Crepes certainly qualifies.

My wife and I went the other day for lunch, and I LOVED the chicken pesto crepe, while she adored the Roasted Chicken with goat cheese and carmelized onions.

The only drawback is that the wait is too long for the typical lunch break. With only a couple of crepe griddles, the staff can't meet the demand very quickly.

Nevertheless, it is WORTH the wait.

  • Pros: Outstanding taste
  • Cons: Slowwwwwww

Amazing crepes, best I have had in the states

by shaft28

This is 5 stars for food but have to deduct one star for the fact cars park randomly in the lot, you sit in the open in mismatched rickety tv trays and lawn chairs and wait sometime sup to 30 minutes for your meal....but man is it worth it when you taste them. Whether it is savory or sweet you are going for you will not be let down with how good these are.

Not a good place for dates or children (especially mom's with strollers who are looking for a spot ro sit). I give up my chair but they'll loose a finger if they ask for a bite of my crepe! D-licious!

  • Pros: crepes = delicious
  • Cons: atmosphere, parking, clean tables, wait

The Details on Flip Happy Crepes

Parking:

The lot only fits a handful of cars. You'll need to look for a spot on a nearby curb.

The Extras:

At peak times, the wait can be well more than an hour.

Hit up the ATM first, as Flip Happy only takes cash.

But don't fret. Savory crepes will set you back only a little more than a fiver, and the sweet ones are even cheaper.
