The Turkey Melt Crepe: The Lunch You Didn't Know You Needed

Melted Swiss cheese, savory turkey, and a golden-crisp crepe wrapped around it all — this is the lunch St. Louis didn't know it was missing.
What Is a Turkey Melt Crepe, and Why Is It Better Than a Sandwich?
A turkey melt crepe is everything you love about a classic turkey melt — savory turkey, melted cheese, warm and satisfying — folded inside a paper-thin, made-from-scratch French crepe instead of bread. The result is lighter, crispier on the edges, and a whole lot more interesting than whatever you packed for lunch.
At Crepes & Treats, we make every crepe to order on a hot iron. Nothing sits under a heat lamp. You watch it happen.
Sandwiches are fine. But once you've had a turkey melt crepe in St. Louis, going back feels like a downgrade. Learn more about our approach to savory crepes in The History of French Crepes in America — And Why St. Louis Does It Best.
Where Can I Get a Turkey Melt Crepe in St. Louis's Central West End?
Crepes & Treats at 4630 Lindell Blvd, inside Hotel Indigo in the Central West End, is your spot. We're one of the only dedicated creperies in St. Louis, and our savory crepe lineup is built for people who want a real, filling lunch — not a side dish.
We're steps from Barnes-Jewish Hospital, WashU Medical Campus, and Forest Park. If you're doing a long day at the St. Louis Zoo or walking the park, we're the lunch stop that makes it worth it.
Find us on Google Maps at 4630 Lindell Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63108. We're open Tuesday through Sunday, 7am to 2pm. Closed Mondays.
What Makes the Turkey Melt Crepe at Crepes & Treats Worth Ordering?
It starts with the batter — made fresh from scratch every morning, no shortcuts. The crepe itself is thin, slightly crisp at the edges, and soft through the middle. The turkey and melted Swiss go inside while it's still on the iron, so the cheese actually melts. Not just warms. Melts.
Saul Juarez, who opened Crepes & Treats and still runs the kitchen, built the savory menu around one principle: every crepe has to be something you'd come back for. Not a novelty. A craving.
