Avalanche Crepes & Waffles

Nestled on West McMillan Street just steps from the University of Cincinnati campus, Avalanche Crepes & Waffles delivers a mountain‑inspired brunch experience that blends bold flavors with generous portions. Owner‑operator Raegan Funes, a Bozeman native, brings her love of crepe‑making to Cincinnati, offering both sweet and savory creations that cascade with toppings. Signature items include the Avalanche – a hearty stack of bacon, chorizo, scrambled egg, hash browns, white cheddar, green onions, jalapeños and a drizzle of country gravy – and the Snow Bunny, a sweet crepe piled with strawberries or bananas, Nutella, powdered sugar and whipped cream. For dessert lovers, the Bonfire crepe mixes marshmallows, graham crackers and dark chocolate, while the Glacier waffle tops strawberries, brownies and white chocolate. All menu items can be made gluten‑free for an additional $2, and meat can be removed from savory options. The bright, airy interior features mountain‑theme artwork, a chalkboard menu, and plenty of seating for groups of friends or study sessions. Breakfast‑time coffee selections range from classic black coffee to caramel and matcha lattes, and cold brew is available for a dollar. While the website lists no fixed hours, the restaurant typically serves brunch daily from early morning until mid‑afternoon, and takes online orders through its site. Whether you’re hunting a hang‑over cure, a sweet treat, or a hearty start to a Saturday, Avalanche promises an avalanche of flavor that leaves diners smiling.
