Rock Creek: McBee's Shakes Crepes and Cones

McBee's has really good crepes. 

They serve more than crepes -- the sign lists those between shakes and cones -- but I have been most impressed with the crepes, especially after trying a few other locations.

It is not just that they are well made, but there is a variety of both sweet and savory (especially with the savory) that can cover a wide variety of tastes.

It seems like some places don't know how to punch something up other than by putting in avocado (or figs), perhaps fine sometimes, but easily repetitive.

With McBee's there is the basic ham and cheese, of course, but then you can get ultra fancy with salmon and capers, or vegetarian with pesto and tomatoes or artichoke puree, or somewhere in between with grilled chicken and roasted peppers.

Yes, about half of the sweet crepes have Nutella, which is pretty standard, but there is also one with lemon curd, which is much less common.

The crepes would be reason enough to go, but that is before you have gotten to the ice cream.

We tried out one of the ice cream pies for a birthday not long ago, and enjoyed it.


Even more recently, I tried one of the landslides, which is sort of the answer to if you can't decide between a split or a cone.


Landslides are an option along with the previously mentioned cone and shakes, as well as quakes and sundaes. You can also take home a pint of Dole Whip or one of the other flavors if you wish. 
 


Through the end of August, Wednesday nights are "happy hour", with $3 root beer floats and Gummy Shark Bowls.


There should be some option to work for almost everyone.
 

COVID: Staff is masked and distancing was possible on a Saturday at least. The space is small, so there is at least the possibility of crowding if enough people are there at the same time, and people do take their masks off to eat.



Accessibility: The space is pretty navigable. Depending on where you get on to the sidewalk outside, there may be stairs. However, there are entrances from both sides of the building, giving some more options for where to park. If your issue is nut allergies, they do use nuts and cannot guarantee no cross-contamination.


McBee's is located off of West Union, near 185th.
