Crepe Traditions Opens on Franklin Street

A new restaurant opened its doors with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday.

Crepe Traditions sells sweet and savory crepes for all occasions, along with coffee and other items.

“I see food as lightening you up,” said owner Sree Valluru. “You have something tasty in your mouth that goes into your stomach it’s just lightening your whole day.”

Valluru offers a number of traditional and non-traditional crepes, but perhaps his most outside the box invention in the PBJC.

“We have our chef’s favorite PBJC which is a unique concept,” he said. “Peanut butter and jelly with chicken.”

He said he has not heard of another restaurant selling anything like the PBJC.

“We have sweet and we have savory so we thought okay let’s have a combination of sweet and savory in a single crepe,” he said. “That’s how the whole thing came about.”

Valluru lives in Cary, but said he loves coming to Chapel Hill.

“I’m a huge Tar Heel fan and Chapel Hill is like my second home,” he said. “I come here pretty much every day. I support the teams, I cheer for the teams and Franklin Street is where I’ve always wanted to do something.”
