Crepe Delicious is a fast-casual creperie and gelateria brand that offers a fresh, healthier alternative to traditional quick-service food. The company was founded in 2004 after its founder, Chef Oded Yefet, drew inspiration from French street-food crepe culture and combined it with North American fast-casual expectations.
Headquartered in Concord, Ontario, Canada, Crepe Delicious has developed a strong reputation for high-quality, made-to-order crepes and handcrafted gelato. The brand began franchising in 2005 and has since expanded across North America and into international markets.
Crepe Delicious outlets typically operate in malls, kiosks, restaurants, or food trucks, offering an extensive menu of both sweet and savory crepes, panini sandwiches, salads, specialty beverages, and over 100 flavors of gelato, including lactose-free, sugar-free, and vegan options.
What differentiates Crepe Delicious from many competitors is its focus on fresh, healthier food options and its open-kitchen, theatrical preparation style. All crepes are prepared in full view, which reinforces transparency, quality, and a chef-driven image.
