About
For a real taste of France, head to Renata's Creperie, where you're immediately overwhelmed by the smell of butter, fresh batter, and coffee. Renata's has been making crepes for the local community and visitors since 2001, taking the classic French crepe and putting a very Californian spin on it with fresh, inventive ingredients. It began as a little booth at the farmers market and has grown into a full-on café as a result of Renata's passion for good food and her desire to create a community around the table.
The creperie has stayed very much in its roots with local eggs, seasonal produce and loads of love in every dish. The menu is a good balance of sweet and savory, so there's something for every taste and every occasion. It's all very much about quality, quality, quality, and there's a real commitment to sustainability as well as a lovely, friendly service. A real gem if you're looking for a good, homey café with a bit of a twist.
Vibe
From the outside, it's a very vibrant, welcoming place with the hand-painted signage, the flowers, and the outdoor tables, which are all in the sun in the morning. Inside it's a very lively place with loads of local art on the walls, all sorts ofmismatched vintage chairs and a vase of fresh flowers on every table. It's very much a boho place, and you're very muchencouraged to stay and just eat your breakfast (or lunch) whether you're with friends or on your own.
There's a good range of seating options available (cozy tables for two, a few larger tables for groups and a very busy counter where you can actually watch the crepes being made); the atmosphere is very lively and cheery, with lots of chatter and laughter and the sizzle of the batter on the griddle. The staff is described as very friendly, and the café isclearly one that makes you feel at home.
