Joe Bar Until recently, 611 Supreme was the only place to get serious crepes on Capitol Hill. Those thin French pancakes, filled with delectables sweet or savory, are such a good fit for Seattle’s New Bohemia that competition for the crepe crown was inevitable. Lest the neighborhood resort to street fighting of the Jets-and-Sharks variety, 611’s nemeses—the kindly, adorable baristas at Joe Bar—are making crepes at the north terminus of Broadway, far enough from the Pike/Pine corridor to cater to a different crowd. And, thanks to the crepes, business is booming: People who once passed over Joe Bar seeking substantive Sunday brunch fare now wander in with their kids and/or micro-dogs, savor crepes filled with fresh mozzarella, plum tomatoes, and basil (or, for the sweet-toothed, Nutella), and talk about Fahrenheit 9/11, or what’s in The New York Times, or the perfectly cloudless sky above. Crepes are available Tuesday through Friday from noon to 9:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. NEAL SCHINDLER 810 E. Roy St., 206-324-0407. CAPITOL HILL
