Mr. Crepe in Salem Has Closed

A pair of creperies is back down to just one, as its second location has shut down.

According to a source within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Mr. Crepe in Salem is closed, with a sign out front saying that the Washington Street eatery shut its doors on November 8 while also referring customers to its Somerville location, which remains in operation. The Salem outlet of Mr. Crepe first opened in early 2018, joining the original Davis Square location; the shop served such items as stuffed crepes, soups, salads, pastries, bagels, and more.

The address for the now-closed Salem location of Mr. Crepe was 83 Washington Street, Salem, MA, 01970. The website for the Somerville shop can be found at https://www.mrcrepe.com/

by Marc Hurwitz

A creperie in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline is looking to expand to the Boston waterfront.

According to an article from Eater Boston, The Paris Creperie in Coolidge Corner is planning to open a new location in the Seaport District, with the new outlet being in the same Seaport Boulevard building that houses Tuscan Kitchen and the Grand. The article says that the waterfront dining spot would be different from the cafe-style Brookline location, instead being a "crepe and cocktail bar," and that famed bartender/mixologist Brother Cleve will be setting up the cocktail list for the place.

If all goes as planned, the new location of The Paris Creperie could open late this fall.

The address for this upcoming creperie in the Seaport District is: The Paris Creperie, 60 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, MA, 02210. The website for the original location in Brookline is at http://pariscreperie.com/

Crispy Crepes Cafe Is Reopening on Commonwealth Avenue by Boston University

It looks like a now-closed dining spot that was popular with college students is going to be reopening at a nearby location.

According to a Twitter post, a "coming soon" sign for Crispy Crepes Cafe is in the window of a storefront on Commonwealth Avenue, and we are told that it will be moving into the former Sal's Pizza location by Boston University (which has been confirmed by the restaurant's website). The eatery--which was known in part for its sweet and savory crepes--had been located on Park Drive for more than a decade before shutting down at the end of October.

A Facebook update that Crispy Crepes Cafe put up last month simply said at the time that they would be "relocating in the Boston area," though no address or time frame was given. Based on the website for the dining spot, it looks like the new shop should be opening sometime next month.

The address for the new location of Crispy Crepes Cafe is 714 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215; its website can be found at http://www.crispycrepescafe.com/

[April 4, 2016 update: Eater Boston states that Crispy Crepes Cafe is now open in its new home on Commonwealth Avenue.]
