Small small place hidden on rivington road, they serve excellent coffee, sandwiches. but they are specialized in krepps. Unfortunately, I didn't try their crepes, but their sandwich and omelette, both were good. I ordered a smoked salmon, avocado, egg on roggenbrot and an omelette with salat and sourdough bread with extra smoked salmon inside. <= <= < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <

Shutterbug Bar and Creperie in Shoreditch offers a fantastic selection of traditional and innovative French pancakes. I decided to try the pulled pork with cheese and pickles, which was incredibly delicious. The menu had a variety of tempting options, and I would have been happy to try many of them. What will you choose?

This is a fantastic small bar located just off a lively street, offering a unique combination of cocktails and crepes. The banoffee crepe was absolutely delicious, filled with crunchy biscuit pieces, whipped cream, and caramel sauce. I felt a mix of contentment and longing after finishing it. Although I didn't get a chance to try the savory crepe options, I know that the black truffle option will be my choice when I return.

Tasty cocktails, plenty of seats, no queues, crepes if you want them. Go before it gets packed full of hipsters.

So the pancakes weren't bad, that's about the only good point I have to say. I was expecting it to be busy, but they just seemed woefully underprepared/staffed. We were seated outside in a yard in a marquee with no heating, not great in this weather, with drafts coming in the gaps. We also had the delight of listening to people working with power tools whilst we ate there. Seemed like they only had one person actually making the pancakes, which doesn't seem like the best idea given the fact they were fully booked inside and out. When my first lot of pancakes hadn't arrived I asked one of the staff if it was coming. On way back from speaking to the chef he stopped to take new orders instead and didn't come back so I had to go up again and ask. This took about 40 minutes or so. I felt sorry for the table of 16 or so people behind us who were still waiting when I had left and had arrived not too long after I did. Not sure what service and food are like normally, but on this occasion they were clearly underprepared and taking on more bookings than they could handle since it was pancake day and not giving anyone any warning of how long things were likely to be.
