Local Woman to Open Sofi's Crepes This Summer

The shop specializes in gourmet crepes and will open on Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard in Severna Park.

Severna Park is about to get a lot sweeter, as local woman Abby Larkin has plans to open Sofi’s Crepes on Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard this summer.

Larkin, 25, spent the last four years working at Sofi’s Crepes in Annapolis and saved up enough money to purchase a franchise location for Severna Park. Having lived in the area her entire life, opening a business in her hometown seemed like a perfect fit.

“I grew up in Severna Park and went to Severna Park Elementary right behind the store,” Larkin said. “I thought it would be a great location for Sofi’s, so I bought into the franchise.”

Sofi’s Crepes claims to have “mastered the art of crepes” and Larkin said it’s more than just a traditional crepe with cinnamon and sugar. Sofi’s Crepes offers more of a crepe sandwich wrapped up in foil so it can be enjoyed on the go.

Having worked at the Annapolis location for four years, Larkin said some of the more popular menu items are the Kevin Bacon, the Bacon Egg and Cheese, Apple Crisp and Nutty Banana.

“What we usually say is it is a French burrito type,” Larkin said. “You can fill it up with savory or sweet items. And people just know it is a very thin pancake. “

After graduating from Severna Park High in 2006, Larkin earned her Associate’s Degree from Anne Arundel Community College. She said opening a business is always something she has wanted to do.

“I just like the customer service and being around people and working with people,” she said. “I enjoy cooking the crepes and serving them to people.”

Larkin said she is hoping for a July 1 opening date, but a lot of that will depend on the construction, which is currently underway. The shop will feature inside and outside seating and Larkin will make the crepes in the shop window.
