Brunch Near Forest Park: Why Crepes & Treats Is the Answer Every Weekend

The Best Brunch Near Forest Park Is Closer Than You Think
Every weekend, thousands of people pour into Forest Park — one of the largest urban parks in the country, home to the St. Louis Zoo, the Art Museum, the History Museum, and miles of walking and biking trails. And every weekend, a good chunk of those people ask the same question: where should we eat brunch?
The answer — if you haven't discovered it yet — is Crepes & Treats at 4630 Lindell Blvd, literally steps from the park's eastern edge in the Central West End.
We've been serving handcrafted sweet and savory crepes here since we opened, and weekend brunch has become something of a ritual for St. Louis locals who know that the best way to start a Saturday or Sunday is with a crepe in hand.
What to Order for Brunch at Crepes & Treats
The beauty of brunch at Crepes & Treats is that the menu works for everyone at the table — from the person who wants something light and sweet to the one who needs a full savory meal to fuel a long walk around the park.
For the sweet side, start with our Bananas Foster Crêpe — caramelized bananas in butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, topped with caramel sauce and house-made vanilla whipped cream. It's our most-ordered item and for good reason. The Strawberry & Nutella Crêpe and the Cinnamon Roll Crêpe are close runners-up.
On the savory side, the B.B. Crêpe (Black Forest ham, Brie, raspberry sauce, house salad) is a fan favorite. So is the Smoked Salmon Crepe — a sophisticated, brunch-worthy combination of salmon, goat cheese, red onion, everything seeds, and fresh tomatoes.
Add a coffee and you've got a proper brunch.
Why This Spot Works for Every Kind of Brunch Plan
- Pre-park fuel: Come in at 7am, eat well, and hit the Zoo or Art Museum refreshed.
- Post-walk reward: You've earned that Bananas Foster after a few miles on the trails.
- Leisurely late brunch: We're open until 2pm — no rush, no pressure, just good food.
- Date morning: The Central West End setting and the food make for a genuinely lovely morning out.
