    About CrepeMaker

     
     The Original CrepeMaker was established in 1992, an idea conceived by the founder, Christopher Hoffman - upon returning from a vacation in France. As he enjoyed the French crepes sold on the street carts of Paris, he envisioned an innovative hand-held crepe concept for the streets of South Florida. He created a meal in hand filled with super fresh, delightful food combinations that would satisfy the heartiest of appetites and the sweet tooth.
