The first time we went to Coquette’s, we were famished and the smell wafting through the building made my eyes roll up like I was in some kind of zombie movie. We consumed the food with such ferocity that our pretty picture opportunity had expired but our stomachs didn’t really mind much. The first time we shared a few different crepes and found ourselves consuming them like competition. The “Coquette” was our favorite. It had Swiss cheese, eggs, mushrooms, some other cheesy sauce and black forest ham. We also had a Farmer John with goat cheese, chicken and other goodness. Both were served with garlic potatoes, which left us desiring a mint but not regretting our choice one bit. After dinner we had a bananas fosters crepe. The caramel, crepe, cream and bananas were bliss. The food was consumed like a last meal.
We felt bad that we didn’t get quality pictures for you, my loyal readers so we went back later in the week. (It’s all about you, not our gluttony, people.) We got a couple more coquettes for the 3 of us and my daughter got her own kids crepe. We also shared a blueberry blintz at the end. It had home made blueberry preserves mixed with ricotta cheese and was served piping hot with whipped cream on top. I absolutely loved it. The other ladies preferred the bananas foster. The ricotta kinda weirded them out, whilst I thought the juxtaposition was perfect. Then again I have enjoyed avocado shakes in the past. If you are near Colorado Springs, you have no choice but to eat here. It’s not cheap, so save. We spend about $38 for 3 and ½ of us. If you have people with you who can eat gluten, they won’t care. They will fight you for the last bite.
