A full review is coming shortly, but if you’ve been wanting to check out The Creperie just across from the theater building in the Edwards Cinema complex on Overland Road in Boise, or even if you weren’t aware of it and are intrigued now, consider this my official endorsement.  My beloved and I dropped in yesterday after a […]
