Dessert business opening in Sarasota County

A new eatery specializing in crepes and sweet treats is opening soon in The Meadows community in Sarasota.

Darin Abdel is the owner of Crepetopia, which she says was inspired by her passion for desserts and the desire to deliver “something unique” to Sarasota. Abdel says she also wanted to create someplace that was both international and family-friendly. 

“Crepes felt like the perfect base since they can be enjoyed in so many creative ways,” Abdel says in an email to the Business Observer. On the menu are a variety of sweet crepes, such as strawberry nutella crepe, pistachio crepe and cinnamon toast crunch crepe. All are drizzled with either chocolate or Lotus butter, which is made from crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies.
