Mesa crepe restaurant to celebrate grand opening with free food, live music

PHOENIX — Local dessert chain The Crepe Club will celebrate the grand opening of its first Mesa restaurant over two days next month.

The chain’s third Valley location is located just north of Main Street at 50 N. Centennial Way, the downtown Mesa site of the Arizona State University Media and Immersive Experience Center.

When the restaurant opens April 12, guests can get free crepes from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The next day, The Crepe Club will have a grand opening celebration with live music and giveaways. (UPDATE: The owners announced on April 4 that the opening has been delayed indefinitely and they will set a new date soon.)

The opening was originally scheduled for Friday (March 29) but had to be bumped back two weeks due to unforeseen construction issues.

Co-owner Fares Tarabichi said he and his brothers and fellow owners, Omar and Karim, are excited to expand into Mesa.

“We are thrilled to bring the unique cuisine that Crepe Club offers to the people of Mesa,” he said in a press release. “Mesa is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and we are proud to be part of this booming, charming city in the desert.”

The location is nostalgic for Tarabichi and his brothers. They started their business by selling crepes from a food cart on the ASU campus in 2014.

“As ASU alumni, we love to continue growing so close to campus,” he said.

What is on the The Crepe Club menu?

In addition to a variety of crepes, the restaurant will also sell drinks, from plain coffee to espresso with various flavors.

Customers can buy honey lavender, Nutella and dulce de leche lattes. There will also be white chocolate raspberry mocha lattes.

The Crepe Club’s other locations are at ASU’s main campus in Tempe and Scottsdale Fashion Square.
