pool deck at Casa del Mar Beach Resort, serving a vari-
ety of sweet & savory Crepes, Waffles, Muffins, Ice Cream,

What Is a Crepe Exactly? A crepe is essentially a thinner
version of a pancake. Typically made with eggs, flour,
milk (or water) and butter, they are cooked on the stove,
ideally using a special, flat crepe pan. The word, like the
pancake itself, is of French origin, deriving from the Latin
crispa, meaning "curled."

freshly made bite, enjoy with a good coffee or any other
beverage.

M’s crepe shack is located by the pool at Casa del Mar
Beach Resort Aruba, Eagle Beach.
