Our favorite Saturday morning activity during the spring/summer is to have breakfast at the Beaverton Farmer’s Market. We usually enjoy an omelet from the Canby Asparagus Farms but a few weeks ago I noticed a new food booth – Zest Crepes.
We couldn’t wait to try it. I knew I would love the crepes before I even tasted them because the Zest Crepe booth was so cute with a black and white pendant banner and their cute black and white polka dot caps and great logo t-shirts!
Cali and I had a hard time deciding which crepe we wanted. We had our choice of sweet or savory. Since we couldn’t decide on just one we got two! After several minutes of deliberation we decided on the Nutella Bliss and Sweet Italy
Owner and Crepe Chef Tina Abrams was hard at work! Each crepe is prepared fresh to order.
Everyone needs a crepe maker at home like this one!
Tina used this fun little wand to spread the crepe batter perfectly even.
She was a master at flipping the crepe too!
The Sweet Italy had berries, marscarpone cheese and a squeeze of orange with zest.
Cali couldn’t even wait for a fork – she dove right in!
My favorite was the Nutella Bliss!
The Nutella Bliss had nutella, strawberries, whip cream and a dusting of cinnamon
Each crepe prepared and served by Tina herself!
I have never been to France but after eating a Zest Crepes I feel like I have had a little taste of Paris!
If you are in the Portland area I highly recommend you pay a visit to the Beaverton Farmer’s Market and enjoy a treat at Zest Crepes - tell Tina that Leigh Anne at Your Homebased Mom sent you! Maybe I’ll see you there!
See you next Saturday Tina!

Crepes are my favorite. Wish I were there.
The only thing that would’ve made that post any better would’ve been to hear “Look for Zest Crepes coming to a Farmer’s Market near you”. That looks so very yummy. My tummy is rumbling now. Cereal is just not going to cut it now.
Those look positively amazing. Wishing our farmer’s market had those!
My husband makes the best crepes. If he sees this post, he is going to want one of those professional crepe makers!
I’m definitely trying Nutella on my next one… We usually do berries, puddings, whip cream, and mini-chocolate chips (our favorite puddings are: chocolate, white chocolate, and cheesecake)
Mmmmmmm. I love crepes. I think I’m going to have to visit Portland some time soon!
Oh my goodness, those look fabulous! Wish we had a crepe place close to me. Yummy!
I have been going to the much less crowded Hillsdale Farmer’s Market (in the parking lot of Wilson HS) for the past several months. They too have a crepe vendor that is wonderful. Plus the most amazing tamales from Salvador Mollys AND wood oven baked pizzas and bagels that have really unique toppings. I almost forget to buy produce when I’m there!
If you ever feel like mixing it up, you should check them out too.
In my world CREPES truly are the best invention of all time! I will be making a trip to Beaverton in the very near future with friends and family in tow =) (Thank goodness we live close by). I love crepes so much that I’ve used crepes in place of tortillas in enchiladas and also in place of manicotti shells when making stuffed shellls. TRUST ME….they are extremely versatile! I also make a filling for crepes that includes cream cheese, whipping cream, powdered sugar and lemon zest…DELISH!
