CREPE(noun) - a thin light pancake
Infor: If you think you there is nothing good on UCSD's campus that's good to eat, then being on the campus on Tuesday's will definitely change your mind because we have a decent farmers' market next to Price Center every Tuesday. However, if you haven't been to the farmers' market, and you have no idea what to eat, you should aim for the longest line. There are 2 big giants at the farmers' market, one is Lemon Grass, the other is the almighty Bibby's Crepe. Whenever I go to farmers' market, Bibby's is my only consideration; however, sometimes it is very hard to be patient to wait for another Tuesday to come, so I decided not to wait for another Tuesday and head to its restaurant by the beaches.
Location: It's a nice area to go to because you have the beaches so close to you, but you decide to go on a weekend, you may be looking at a good 20 minutes around-the-block looking for parking.
Friendly Reminder: To find this place, it's better the Google Map this location rather than relying on your GPS before you decide to head out because this place doesn't stick out much and you get a lot of narrow streets and usually with busy traffics around this area.
Food: Savory and sweet crepe, they are both good, but depends on your mood. Some people only prefer eating sweet crepe, but personally when you are here, you can't go wrong with either.
On the left: Savory crepe with spinach, egg, and swiss cheese. On the right: pan fried bananas with rum, whipped cream, and a scope of vanilla ice cream.
Price: a bit pricey for a light lunch, I paid a total of $24 including tips at the end for two crepes. Comparing to the school's Bibby's, eating at the restaurants costs a lot because the savory crepes only cost $9, and the sweets cost $8. Furthermore, tips are "optional" since it's farmers' market, and the portion is twice as big, so it really is unnecessary to go to the restaurant. However, if you think your choices are limited, then going to the restaurant will triple your choices in both savory and sweet crepes.
Bottom Line: If you are a UCSD student who spends a decent amount of time on campus on Tuesdays', going to Bibby's should become a habit of yours
