As for the actual crepes, they offer a variety of sweet as well as savory crepes. On the savory crepes, you can get anything from cheese, mushroom, tomatoes, basil, chicken, turkey, chorizo, bacon, ham, and fried egg. Salt and pepper is optional but the "special" hot sauce is a must that adds a great flavor to the crepe. The savory crepes here can range anywhere between €3-5 depending on the number of toppings.
The sweet crepes are a little more limited compared (surprisingly) with bananas usually being the only fresh fruit available. There are however options of heaping mounds of nutella as well as coconut shavings, strawberry/blueberry/orange jam, almond shavings, and even drops of alcohol.
Overall, this local crepe shop is a plus. While the crepe batter may not always be fresh (there's usually a stack of pre-made crepes that are quickly heated up) and the selection of fresh fruits is marginal (seems to be like that with all crepe shops in Paris though as fresh fruit is definitely an expensive delicacy), the proximity of the shop to the hotel as well as its accessible hours (10am-2am) make it a place i frequent often to satisfy midnight (or 1am) cravings of hunger (usually with a savory crepe). But I think Ryo-san back home at Harajuku Crepes would be pleased to know that his dessert crepes are still my favorite.
So far i have tried the following combinations:
-nutella/banana
-ham, cheese, tomato, mushroom
-chicken, cheese, egg, tomato
-bacon, mozzarella, tomato
