Cafe L'Aube expanding into Fairmount
Jean-Luc Fanny's Café L'aube, which the Ivory Coast native opened at 1512 South close to two years ago, is growing north, with a second location at 1631 Wallace Street. Its tentative opening is slated for "summer 2010." (Hey, that's right now!) More details soon; in the meantime, read Trey Popp's March 2009 rave about Fanny's specialty. Crepe lovers of Fairmount, rejoice! (h/t @FairmountNews) UPDATE [3:48 p.m.]: Just touched base with Fanny to grab a couple more details. This new space will be two rooms, and bigger than original. Same exact approach as the original café, with the exception of the waffles - here they'll be served Liege-style, which is denser/chewier than the Brussels style he presses on South. Fanny is aiming for an August 15 opening. Craig D. Posted 2010-09-09 09:25:49

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAFE FACADE WILL NOT BE THE GREEN CURRENTLY VISIBLE! A TRUE MIX UP IN PAINT COLOR! I JUST SPOKE TO THE OWNER AND THE INSIDE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
Thank god I won't have to go to Mugshots anymore.

Just a second to the earlier review -- this is a complete gem of a cafe. The crepes and waffles are made to perfection, and, coupled with the coffee roasted in house, quickly becomes addictive. I couldn't be happier to see it opening in a neighborhood like East Fairmount!

there's no such thing as East Fairmount, it's spring garden
there's fifteen different terms for my home area--francisville, fairmount, spring garden, etc. (can't wait for this place to open!!!). so why not add another?
