Off the beaten Path – Sweet and Savory of Port Jefferson
Take mom out for a brunch that’s truly one of a kind… like her! Sweet and Savory Creperie is a sophisticated crepe and rice pudding bar, serving Breakfast and Lunch and Dinner in the heart of Port Jefferson. The menu is unique, much like the ambiance,offering vegetarian dishes like Artichoke pizza and gluten free & whole grain options for the health conscious.
We highly recommend the Number 13 for sweet tooths, which is a traditional crepe exploding with strawberries, Banana, Nutella & Whipped Cream. For the Savory palate, the Crepe experts at Sweet & Savory recommend the Hot Wyngz which packs Buffalo chicken wings, cheddar cheese, bacon and your choice of ranch or bleu cheese dressing into a savory crepe. Customize your own crepe, for those who fancy themselves a foodie! Don’t let the name Rice Pudding fool you… These dishes are nothing like your Crazy Cat Lady of an Aunt used to make… With flavors like Canoli, New York Cheese cake and peanut butter cup, you’ll be signing a whole new tune for Rice Pudding with every bite! Friday & Saturday Hours 9AM-Midnight – Sunday Hours 9AM-10PM
