Recently, I went with Kind Lifer Lisa to the Arts, Beats, and Eats festival of bands and artists in Detroit. I found one artist I loved, Urban Landscapes Pottery's Laura Macntyre and I bought 4 bowls from her.

I'm so happy because I've been meaning to buy soup bowls for two years, and now I can cross it off my list. I really like them - perfect size for nabe yaki udon from my book, or for any large soup. I was so happy to find this perfect size!

Then we went to Royal Oak, as suggested by Kind Lifer Shannon Hall who told us to go to a crepe spot What Crepe - they have vegan crepes if you ask. Our waitress was vegan too, and she recommended a crepe, filled with avocado, sundried tomatoes, asparagus, spinach, mushrooms, and an orange jalepeno sauce....delicious!!! Then we shared a crazy one with chocolate, bananas, pecans, and ice cream...we went nuts clearly! I'm not sure I ultimately made the best dessert combo - don't get me wrong, it was good....but the savory crepe was delicious and I would love to have that again and again.

Our waitress also recommended the apple pie crepe, done vegan. But Lisa and I weren't feeling apple pie. Lisa came up with an idea for blueberry agave and banana - maybe next time, since you can build your own crepes!

Dessert Crepe

We both left with headaches from the sugar. It was fun for a second and I'd do it again, but maybe a crepe with strawberries, fresh bananas, and pecans, but no ice cream or chocolate - a super yummy, no-headache dessert, with maybe a tiny drizzle of agave to top it off.

Has anyone been there and had the perfect combo for a sweet crepe, or do you have any other vegan crepe combo you can recommend?

Hmm maybe I should learn how to make crepes at home!

Thanks for the recomendation! I was in Royal Oak for a fundraiser and knew exactly where to go! It was amazing!

mmm, those crepes look super yummy! going there this weekend!

Hi All. I'm new to the site and have a lot of learning to do. I've been struggling with trying to go vegetarian/vegan on and off for quite some time now. I'm hoping that some support will make the difference. Regarding your post Alicia, about the crepes, was it vegan ice cream or do you consume dairy? Thanks for the site.

 

teresa..the ice cream was vegan.

Wow, this looks and sounds absolutely amazing!

I just went there for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend and it was incredible. I got a crepe with asparagus, red onion, spinach and cheddar cheese (my current diet plan is to save dairy for when I'm eating out, but I never eat meat. Baby steps) with that orange jalepeno sauce. My God, it was a big portion and at first I thought I would never be able to finish it, but I ate every crumb. I would go there again and again, and hopefully I will since my boyfriend just got an apartment there!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the site and looking and open to all information. Super Excited!!!!!!
