"We were in town visiting relatives for Thanksgiving and we were looking for a place to eat breakfast and my daughter recommended Geppetto Cafe. What a great experience. Very eclectic decorations--hanging books above the tables, exposed walls painted white, and other items with an industrial feel to it. The restaurant is thin up front and opens in the back a bit. Our waiter said the weekends are really packed, so plan accordingly. Their menu is perfect if you like a nice variety. There are savory and sweet crepes as well as paninis. While we did not try it, they also have a wide variety of coffee drinks and gelato for dessert. We tried two different savory crepes, the Ham Cheese and the Love Hate Thing. The Ham and cheese, well it had both on it, served with gruyere cheese and a honey aioli. We added spinach (and they have tons of other choices you an add to any dish or create your own crepe from scratch . The Love and Hate Thing crepe was smoked turkey, goat cheese and avocado with a Béchamel sauce (Béchamel sauce, also known as white sauce, is made from a white roux and milk. Of the two dishes, I have to say that I liked the Ham Cheese better because of the combination of flavors. We went the Sunday after Thanksgiving so I might just have been tired for turkey, but I think the goat cheese was a bit overwhelming. All the savory crepes are served with a side salad which was also yummy. All table are provided a free bottle of water, other drinks including the aforementioned coffee cost money. I can't wait to get back to the Burgh to visit this place again. There are a ton of other crepes to try and maybe a few paninis too."
