About this place
Go for the sweet-tart flavour of apple, or the contrast of chocolate and crunchy almonds. At Challenger, on the basement 1 floor of Nakano Broadway, choosing what to put in your crepe is part of the fun. The Apple & Whipped Cream crepe combines apple and cream, and some diners have remarked on the fruit’s sweet-sour flavour. Apple crepes can also be ordered with custard cream instead of whipped cream. The menu describes an option with 2 times the apple, topped with apple jam.
For a chocolate option, consider the Chocolate, Almonds & Whipped Cream crepe. Diners who have chosen a chocolate crepe have enjoyed the generous amount of cream with the crisp texture of almonds. Crepes made with the house-made caramel sauce can be topped with options such as coconut and almonds or apple. It’s an easy choice to tailor, whether you want something nutty with the sweetness or paired with fruit. Some diners have also praised the crepe’s fragrant, lightly chewy batter and the balanced sweetness of the cream. You can eat in or take your order away.
The menu extends beyond sweets to savoury crepes such as tuna and lettuce, as well as meals including curry, spaghetti and yakisoba. For a treat after eating or a quick break, try soft serve in Hokkaido Milk or Amaou strawberry. Crepes may be the reason to stop by, but there are also light meals and soft serve to suit the moment.
