High Point Cafe
| 602 W. Carpenter Lane Mount Airy 215-849-5153 Creperie, Chestnut Hill/Mt. Airy Sometimes the best crêpes, like parking spots, are located where you’d least expect them. And when the alternately crisp and supple, thoroughly golden and buttery crêpes made to order at Mount Airy’s High Point Café are filled with toppings like caramelized apple and cheddar, or spinach, onion and chevre, it’s almost as rewarding as a spot with a full meter near Rittenhouse Square. Open daily, 7 a.m.-5 p.m.

Went to the cafe 6-27-08. I had a crepe w/carmelized apples and cheddar, spring mix and blueberry bread pudding, and OH GOODNESS! I was ready to sing the 'hallelujah chorus'! Excellent food, excellent atmosphere and service.
