On the first day of my brother’s visit, we decided to go out for brunch. I had been to Café Pan, an organic café and creperie, once before and really enjoyed it, but had then promptly forgotten its existence until it was reviewed on Karlsresource. They are closed on Sundays, which limits the opportunities for me to visit, but being off work during the week meant I could actually go there. On my first visit, we sat outside in the courtyard, but as it was raining off and on the day my brother and I went, we decided to see what it looked like inside.
The menu mainly consists of numerous crepes, both sweet and savoury, but there are also cakes and a soup of the day. We, of course, opted for crepes. The savoury ones are made without egg and milk, so are suitable for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant. Sweet ones are not vegan friendly, but on request they will make a sweet crepe using the vegan batter from the savoury crepes. Here’s the list of sweet crepes, photo courtesy of my brother:
My brother went for the Schokolade crepe, which was topped with Nutella. Meanwhile, I decided to start my day with something savoury and had a spinach crepe, consisting of spinach (obviously), tomato and cheese… I asked for it without the egg.
To drink, we both opted for coffee, although various freshly squeezed juices were available. Maybe I’ll try one of those next time. My brother and I both thoroughly enjoyed our crepes and I will definitely be going to this café again… hopefully it won’t take me several years this time!
Can I have the Normandie without Ahornsirup, please? Ta.
😀 If you ever find yourself in Karlsruhe I shall take you there!
I want to go back and try their Pflaumen-Chutney one. It sounds weirdly interesting.
Oh yes 🙂 To all of that!
What a great place! I love that they offer vegan options, you do not find that everywhere!
Yes, even vegetarian options are pretty limited in Germany (usually the choice is pasta with tomato sauce or Käsespätzle!).
I had some amazing savoury crepes in Amsterdam a few years ago, but I’ve never had vegan savoury crepes! x
The Netherlands do the BEST savoury pancakes. We had one with bacon and ginger in Leiden. So, so good!
Yummy! I love crepes – I’ll just work my way through the menu 😉
Start at the top and wait to explode 😉
Sounds like a good way to go 😉
The juices there are great! I remember reading the menu and thinking it all sounded really strange but then loving my order!
I definitely need to try one of their juices next time!
