Guibert and Neagoy charge a flat rate of $200, which covers expenses, time, and 30 crepes. Each additional crepe is $3 per crepe.

The girls met in school when Guibert moved to West Simsbury from France. She couldn’t speak English and though Neagoy doesn’t speak much French, they were able to connect over their love of making crepes.
