From the many soft, thin layers stacked atop one another to the diverse selection of sweet and savory toppings, crepes are a French staple that is as beloved as they are exquisite. Thankfully, one doesn’t need to fly to Europe to enjoy these sensational delights. Instead, Paris comes to Southlake with the opening of the brand-new Sweet Paris Creperie & Cafe.
First opening in Houston in 2012, Sweet Paris has perfected the art of eating crepes with over 30 varieties on its menu. While the rapidly growing franchise has 18 cafes and counting across three states, the Southlake location represents its first foray into the DFW Metroplex.
“We’re excited to see Sweet Paris grow,” CEO and cofounder Allison Chavez says. “Southlake Town Square is the optimal location for our entrance into the market with its vibrant shops and upscale boutiques.”
Locally owned and operated by the Hymes family, Sweet Paris is located in the space that formerly housed Rockfish Seafood Grill and has been transformed into a bright and lively Parisian bistro with cozy seating, ambient lighting and a spacious patio perfect for brunch dates and outdoor gatherings. With a multifaceted background in running their own restaurant and catering business, Edward and Cynthia Hymes are more than ready to introduce Sweet Paris to Southlake.
Those who show up early can indulge in the cafe’s breakfast crepes, which are filled with everything from scrambled eggs and smoked salmon to feta-ricotta and bechamel sauce. For lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers even more extravagant options, whether it be chicken alfredo, Philly cheesesteak, ham and gruyère or truffled caprese. Of course, the sweet selections never fail, especially when they involve decadent offerings such as dulce de leche, cookie butter, lemon and sugar or apple cinnamon creme brulee.
Between its relaxing atmosphere, gorgeous patio, refreshing cocktails and delicious bites that diners love to sink their forks into, it’s no wonder why Sweet Paris is the new talk of the town.
“We started out as customers of Sweet Paris and have frequented many of its Texas locations,” owner Edward Hymes says. “We are excited to continue our love for Sweet Paris as strategic partners, building on its legacy in Texas while at the same time creating our own family legacy.”
