From TikTok Fame to Late-Night Favorite: How Creperie NYC Became a Sweet Staple
Creperie NYC went from a single “famous crepe” to viral TikTok stardom with over 50 irresistible creations. Owner Amnon shares how 25 years of flavor, feedback, and late-night service keep New Yorkers coming back for more.
Creperie NYC has been serving up sweet and savory crepes in New York City for over 25 years. Owner Amnon shares insights into the journey of this beloved creperie, its viral menu items, and the dedication to quality that keeps customers coming back.
A Journey Rooted in Experience
Amnon's culinary journey began in the 1980s with travels to China, where he immersed himself in diverse flavors and cooking techniques. This global exposure laid the foundation for Creperie NYC, which opened its East Village location a decade ago. Since then, the creperie has expanded its menu to over 50 items, catering to a wide range of tastes.
“If the food is not good, the customer would not talk into the door, not only the quality of the food,” Amnon emphasizes.
Crafting Viral Delights
Creperie NYC's menu boasts a variety of sweet and savory options, but it's the innovative creations that have captured the internet's attention. The VIRAL Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Crepe, featuring pistachio cream, milk chocolate, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream, became a TikTok sensation. Amnon's dedication to quality led him to taste over 25 pistachio creams from the US, Middle East, and Europe before selecting the perfect one.
Another standout is the Tiramisu Crepe, combining the classic dessert with a crepe twist, and the New Yorker Cheesecake Crepe, blending cheesecake, strawberries, and chocolate. These creations not only delight customers but also showcase Amnon's commitment to innovation.
Engaging with the Community
Creperie NYC's appeal spans from celebrities to students, thanks to its diverse menu and welcoming atmosphere. The creperie offers seasonal flavors, such as special options during Latin Heritage Month, and caters to various dietary preferences with healthier choices and five different types of chocolate.
Amnon values customer feedback, often asking patrons for their thoughts to refine offerings. This engagement ensures that the menu evolves with customer preferences, maintaining the creperie's relevance and popularity.
Looking Ahead
Beyond the storefront, Creperie NYC offers catering services, bringing its delectable crepes to events and collaborations with various brands. The creperie also adapts its hours to meet customer needs, staying open late to serve night owls and club-goers.
“We are doing catering, with lots of brands, street food, waiting for the crepe to be done is a completely sensory and entertainment experience,” Amnon shares.
