Caravan Crêpes

First timer here and absolutely loved it. I got the Shorty that has roasted chicken and some other yummy stuff tucked inside. I want more. Like seriously I almost went back down and got another for later. Hehe

I’m so glad this truck makes weekly appearances in the ID, because I look forward to it constantly! My go-​to crêpe is the Wedge, which is perfectly decadent with its prosciutto, apple slices, onion chutney and brie. Every so often, though, I’ll get the special, which is always so unique. I’m loving the addition of delicata squash as an ingredient lately! (Fingers crossed for some butternut squash in the future?)
Also, Brooke is awesome and friendly, and won’t make you feel like an inconvenience for requesting ingredient swaps. That’s a huge plus for someone like me who can’t get behind mushrooms and the more spicy options. Also, I haven’t had it, but they offer a gluten-​free batter option, too.

What luck I show up at the magnolia farmers market and there is a crêpe truck. With so many options I had to debate a savory or sweet crêpe or the crêpe of the day.
I decide savory was the mood for today since the morning was a bit dismal so the wedge sounded pretty good I mean Apples prosciutto and Brie… my savory crêpe came with a side salad and sour cream. The salad was nicely dressed even though they almost forgot to add the dressing.
Overall the crêpe was nice and thin and was a very nice and light brunch snack. The brie wasn’t fully melted but it was soft enough to complement my thinly sliced apples there were hints of prosciutto.

I ate here during the Seattle Street Food Fair. They only had sweet crepes. I ordered the Bulgarian feta cheesecake with fresh berries and pistachio crumple crêpe. I have to say that I was rather disappointed. The feta cheese was just scooped on and didn’t add anything the crêpe. The fresh berries were just a few blackberries. I don’t know if it’s because there were a lot of people at the fair so that they chose not to do their more complex crepes. But after eating it, I didn’t think it added anything new to the crêpe world. I really enjoy creperies that try to do something exciting with the different combination of things that they can put on crepes. But this one was just very safe, and very plain, and not worth writing home about.
The lady making the crêpe was nice. Perhaps I will give this truck another chance when they park in downtown Bellevue. I am always more of a savory crêpe kind of person. So maybe I will be wowed by their savory crepes?

I fell in love with their Bulgarian feta cheesecake crêpe with fresh berries and pistachio crumble! I’ve never had feta cheesecake so I was really excited on how it would turn out!
It was amazing. The texture of the cheesecake was smooth and not too sweet. The crêpe wasn’t rubbery, it had a soft texture. I just wish there was more the pistachio crumble.
One of the best crepes I’ve ever had!

Wow, I love crepes but had never ventured out of the sweet crepes until now. I ordered the savory special crêpe (chorizo), holy-amazeballs…The most amazing thing I ate on my whole vacation, I was crushed not to have had another before heading home to Arizona. Service was spectacular and I assume Caravan is a local favorite as the chef knew most of the customers by name. Now off to cry some pitiful Caravan Crêpe blues, until next time Seattle…

I’m so glad that DT Bellevue finally wised up and started hosting a dedicated food truck pod every day. Caravan Crepes comes on Mondays and I had the best experience with them yesterday!
I ordered a Crescent, which has lentils and comes with a side of crème fraîche and a teeny salad with some kind of vinaigrette dressing. It was about $ 11 with tip, which is on the pricier side of a food truck lunch (for me) but worth it, and took maybe 5 minutes to deliver since I was first in line.
I really liked the crêpe; it’s square and buttery and crispy, and the ingredients were well-​seasoned and tasty. But the best part was the really nice people working inside the truck! Playful and just so genuinely sweet. I felt really cared for and special for the five minutes I stood near their truck. Can’t wait for the next crêpe day!

Incredible. Amazing crepes and great service/​attitude. I keep a calendar for when they are at Chuck’s Hop Shop in Greenwood and make it a point to go whenever possible.

The best crepes you will ever have. Must try shortys. It was above and beyond my expectation so yummilicious that you will crave for more. So order at least 2 portions. Also it seems like that the chef really enjoys cooking. She is very humble and fun.
Must try!

My whole family loves Caravan Crepes; we usually have it for Thursday dinner as their location is in my neighborhood then (Chuck’s Hop Shop). All of their savory crepes are delish, haven’t had the sweet menu. And, the staff are sweet and cheery. Seek this one out!

This is the best of the SLU food trucks, in my humble opinion. When I worked at Amazon, I would keep a schedule of when this truck was in the area and get weirdly excited for «crêpe days.»
The coolest thing they do is have ever-​changing daily special crepes. ⁸⁄₁₀ of these are very good. ²⁄₁₀ are utterly, earth-​shatteringly incredible. The weirder they sound, they better they are.

Service was excellent, and not too much of a wait after I ordered, in spite of a reasonably long line (6 – 8 people maybe?)
I forget what my crêpe was called (it had lentils inside, and was vegetarian) but it was delish! I also enjoyed the side salad and the little cup of sour cream that went with it. Will definitely come back to try another.

Caravan Crepes hits a several key notes for a food truck — the truck is clean, the menu is simple and delivery is fast. Vegetarians and gluten free options a plus. Mexican coke, sriracha even better. I tried the vegetarian crepes and they were delicious. Highly recommended — four stars.

I work down in South Lake Union on Dexter Ave and I was really happy to even see a food truck nearby. So i chucked my lunch from home and made the quick walk down to Caravan Crepes. When my coworker and I got there trying to decide what to order there was no line just us. In about five minutes it got packed!
I ordered the «shorty» crêpe, which had grilled chicken, harissa sauce, arugula and pickled corn with a side of arugula salad for 9 bucks. The meal itself was filling no doubt, lots of chicken the harissa sauce wasn’t too spicy, I really enjoyed it. It was first time having a savory crêpe and it was really good. But most of the customers I noticed were ordering their sweet crepes: strawberries and nutella (yum), maui cane sugar and lime (definitely will try) and some others I couldn’t remember of the top of my head. It’s a good break from the normal lunch places around here.

One of the best food trucks, of ANY cuisine, in the Seattle area.
Seriously, what’s not to like here? High quality ingredients. Delicious execution. Good portion for the price (savory crepes include a side of mixed greens). Options for all tastes. Friendly service.
I’ve tried a few savory options (the «wedge» with brie & prosciutto, and the «shorty» with chicken and chili sauce). I’ve also tried 1 sweet offering: a special with chocolate and fig. All were Terrific with a capital T.
Forget the whole «next time it’s in my neighborhood» baloney. They’re doing magic in this big yellow truck. You should be chasing it down.

Attended the Mobile Food Rodeo earlier this month. Caravan Crepes was there serving their selection of sweet and savory crepes. Caravan originates from Maui in which the owner had a creperie there who has transported that vibe to the Seattle food truck scene.
Caravan’s selection of crepes is a bit different from your usual. If you look at the gourmet ingredients they use, you can tell that. Not only are the ingredients in the crêpe different, but the batter is too. The batter is called teff and is a wheat alternative that is gluten free.
Since it was Cinco de Mayo, Caravan offered a few holiday related crepes. I decided to go for a savory crêpe, the tequila-​lime wild boar crêpe ($ 5). It was served with a side of mixed greens. The serving size was just right as it allowed me to try other trucks without feeling too full.
The crêpe was alright. The taste of the teff batter is a bit of an acquired taste since I am used to crepes tasting differently. It does take getting to use to, but I found it enjoyable the more I ate it. The wild boar though was a bit dry inside the crêpe. It could have also used a little more spice.
The prices for crepes here is quite reasonable. So if I was attending an event in which Caravan was at, I would give them another shot. Particularly because their crepes has some interesting ingredients in them.

Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time. I’d say Chucks Hopshop on a Thursday night is already a good place to be, but with a fantastic crêpe stand nearby that brings the «thin pancake» to you while you’re drinking a beer… sublime.
Let’s be clear, i’ve had crepes before. Done all of the what Seattle has to offer including the other crêpe trucks. I also just got back from Paris to which one could say its a pretty prevalent dish. Theres something special about this crepes which create both a unique flavor experience but give you exactly what you want from that light fluffy thin rich french classic.
I went for 1 and ended up trying 3. The savory «the wedge». (apply sour cream and dig in for salty sweet balanced bite. And then 2 sweet– The nutella-​nana, and was the Orange curd. See my pic of the Orange curd. nuff said. Nutella was a staple done well but i’d say go for their staff creations for a fun flavor roller coaster.
These crepes are the perfect compromise between high end quality with creative ingredients and street food non-​pretentious deliciousness that you hope to get from a truck. Eat up.
Staff was fantastic, service incredible and fast.
Will be back to try the rest!

Crepes. Love at first sight. I’m always looking for a new crêpe around town. Somehow, the truck route didn’t really line up with my schedule. I work downtown and often have to trek far and long to see my beloved food trucks. The owner is super nice and I liked her instantly.
I knew Caravan was going to be at the Mobile Food Rodeo in September (if you haven’t been to one, you should go — that is all). Caravan was on my list for the day, which is a pretty big deal since my list is very short for an event with 50 or so trucks. I went to the truck a few hours after the Rodeo began and ordered a sweet crêpe. Before I got it, I did a double take at the menu. Since I had already been there for hours, I knew that the prices had gone up. I asked the person who took my order (and money) about it and she said that was a special for VIFs (Very Important Foodies). I held up my VIF badge and it didn’t matter — still paid the same price. I want to be clear that I paid a fair price. It simply is not cool to change prices midstream, have a customer call you on it, and refuse to do anything about it.
Back to the crêpe, check it out:

This is a beautiful crêpe! I love the presentation and the little touches. The crêpe itself is slightly spongier than I like but combined with the fillings, well, it was good. The salted caramel sauce you see on there is fantastic! And whipped cream? Can you ever really go wrong with whipped cream? I think not.
As I said before, my regular work week schedule didn’t put me in the path of Caravan again until recently. I always try to eat at a truck twice before reviewing it. I lucked out and Caravan made a few appearances at Fremont Sunday Market where I spend a lot of time. This time, I tried a savory crêpe, The Wedge, shown here:

Again, top notch presentation. Beautiful! The crêpe itself had brie, prosciutto, apple and sweet onion chutney and a side salad. Honestly, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the side salad. I liked it — it was a nice touch that went well with the crêpe. I think the portion could be bigger but I definitely enjoyed the taste.
I hope our paths cross more — I’d like to visit Caravan more often.

Crepes! Last time I had one was at UniCone Crepes summer of ’12.
I tried the Hobuck and it tasted so good! The side of sour cream went well with the black forest ham and gruyère cheese. The side of greens tasted great too. The line wasn’t too bad. The menu had a lot of choices. The service was friendly. UniCone Crepes is closer to my work place but if I’m ever near the market and want a crêpe again I’ll stop by this food truck.

OMG I love this place! The people are friendly and the crepes are amazing! This was a pleasant surprise to working in Seattle. The prices are average for food trucks and the service is pretty good-​of course that depends on the time that of the day that you go.
I had the strawberry and nutella crêpe with toasted almonds and crème. It was amazing! There was a little raspberry or blackberry drizzle of sauce to make it pretty and it added to the amazing taste. The other people that I went with ordered savory crepes that were good portions and interesting combos. I will have to go back to try a savory one.
