If you're looking for a crêpe in EPCOT but don't want to commit to a full sit-down meal, Crêpes À Emporter by La Crêperie de Paris may be exactly what you're looking for.
Located right next door to La Crêperie de Paris, this quick-service window serves a smaller menu of savory galettes, sweet crêpes, and French beverages, making it a great option if you're short on time or just looking for a snack while exploring World Showcase.
In this review, I'll go over the menu, what I tried, and everything you'll need to know before deciding whether it's worth a stop.
Atmosphere & Location:
Crêpes À Emporter by La Crêperie de Paris is located in the France Pavilion expansion, right next to the table-service restaurant.
Unlike its sit-down counterpart, this is simply an outdoor walk-up window where you order your food and continue on your way.
There isn't any dedicated seating directly outside the stand, but you'll find plenty of benches and tables scattered throughout the France Pavilion if you'd like to sit and enjoy your crêpe before continuing around World Showcase.
Ordering & Service:
This location is walk-up only, and mobile ordering is not currently available.
There is usually a line, especially around lunchtime, but it tends to move fairly quickly thanks to the limited menu and quick preparation times.
The Menu:
The menu here is much smaller than the one offered inside La Crêperie de Paris, but it still offers a nice variety.
You'll find three savory buckwheat galettes, all made with the same gluten-friendly buckwheat batter served in the restaurant, along with three traditional sweet crêpes made with wheat flour.
To drink, there are a handful of French hard ciders, wines, and other beverages available as well as ice cream.
Overall, prices are a bit lower than the table-service restaurant, though the portions are slightly smaller as well.

What I Ordered:
On this visit, I ordered the Béchamel, Cheese & Ham Galette ($12.50), which also seemed to be the most popular choice based on what everyone else in line was ordering.
To drink, I tried the Cidre Doux (Sweet) for $6.75, which was served in a champagne-style flute.
The galette was a decent size, slightly larger than my hand, and made with the same buckwheat batter used inside the restaurant, making the galette itself gluten friendly. If you have a severe gluten allergy or celiac disease, I'd still recommend asking a Cast Member about the fillings before ordering.
The filling consisted of a cheesy béchamel sauce that reminded me a bit of melted Brie, along with thin slices of deli ham. The buckwheat galette had the same slightly grainy flavor and texture, similar to whole wheat bread, but was noticeably crispier than the softer galettes served inside the restaurant.
As for the cider, it was good, though a bit sweeter than my personal preference. It had a slight tang to it and made for a nice comparison to the drier Cidre Brut I had tried next door.
Would I order these again?
Maybe, but mainly if I wanted a quick gluten-friendly, bread-like snack without taking the time for a full sit-down meal. While I enjoyed it, I do think the galettes served inside La Crêperie de Paris are noticeably better overall.
