Millie & Pepper Creperie is a cozy neighborhood restaurant right in downtown Traverse City. We serve sweet and savory crepes, some reminiscent of the streets of Paris and others reflective of our Michigan and Florida roots. Our savory buckwheat crepes are naturally gluten free and can be substituted for the four based sweet crepes upon request. A Bloody Mary, French 75, mimosa, or glass of wine complement our crepes nicely for a memorable and relaxing breakfast or lunch.. On Friday and Saturday evenings, we also offer a menu of delicious small bites that pair beautifully with our wines and cocktails. The classic charcuterie and cheese plate is a constant but the other items come and go based on the season and our culinary whims.
