Marky's Crepes & Waffles

This week I visited Marky's Crepes & Waffles and had a wonderful dinner. Marky's Crepes and Waffles is located at the intersection of Richmond and Dufferin streets in London, Ontario. They offer a variety of options for both waffles and crepes, but sadly only the crepes are offered as gluten free options. It is also disappointing that the gluten free crepes cost an additional $1.40.

Before ordering I inquired into the cooking method and was happily surprised when the owner, Milica Markovic, answered all my concerns. She mentioned she was nutritionist and understood the concerns I had about cross contamination. While they do not use a separate surface to cook the crepes she did take the time to clean the surface before cooking my gluten free crepe. She also cleaned the stainless steel spatula and explained that she uses a separate wooden tool used to flip the gluten free crepes. I asked her if all her crepe options were gluten free and she said yes. I then inquired about the toppings and she retracted her earlier statement and said that not all her toppings were gluten free. She explained which toppings were not safe, and that she would omit those toppings if I ordered that crepe. Make sure you inquire about toppings before you order to ensure your crepe is fully gluten free.

I ordered the lemon crepe and found it was delicious. I was a little surprised when she only topped my crepe with icing sugar and lemon juice when the description also included a lemon filling, even though she did not mention the lemon filling when listing the not safe toppings. None the less the crepe was delicious and very satisfying. I will be back to try other gluten free crepes.
