A Guide to Sweet Crepes in Old City Philadelphia

A crepe is a thin pancake that can be paired with many fillings and toppings. Some menus focus on savory crepes and others on sweets. Mocha Melt Cafe's listed crepes offer a dessert-focused range, so that is the place to start when planning your order.

The category includes Nutella, fruit and chocolate combinations, as well as fettuccine-style crepes and pistachio options. Browse the item names and photos together: the way a crepe is presented can be as useful a distinction as the flavor.

If you enjoy a familiar chocolate-and-fruit pairing, look at the Nutella and strawberry or banana listings. If you are after a more chocolate-focused dessert, compare the triple chocolate options. Pistachio and Lotus choices offer other directions to explore.

Choosing a broad flavor first makes a long menu less overwhelming. It also helps when you are sharing: agree on the flavors your group enjoys, then ask the cafe about the serving and ingredients of the particular item rather than guessing from its name.

A sweet crepe can be the reason for a cafe stop or the dessert after something savory. If you want a meal first, browse the breakfast, panini or wrap listings separately instead of assuming that the sweet crepe menu includes a savory equivalent.

For a drink, consider whether you want another sweet flavor or a simpler coffee beside the dessert. Espresso drinks, specialty lattes, matcha and milkshakes are all separate categories to browse. There is room to build the order around your own preferences.
