The Story of Crêpes & Waffles

Crêpes & Waffles first opened its doors on April 13, 1980. Two students from Los Andes University started their very first restaurant in Bogotá, Colombia. It was a small, cozy place, like a French crêpe shop.

The restaurant was quite simple back then. Even the menu was unique! It was made from a piece of wood. This wooden menu showed all the different crêpes, waffles, and ice creams they offered.

Over the years, the restaurant chain grew a lot. It became so popular that it now has locations in many other countries. You can find Crêpes & Waffles in Spain and Peru, for example. The newest international restaurant opened in São Paulo, Brazil. The company decided to stop selling franchises, meaning they own all their new restaurants themselves.

In Colombia, Crêpes & Waffles is also known for hiring single women and women who need a job. They do this to help provide opportunities and support for these women. They also follow this practice in Quito, Ecuador.
