RICH FLAVORS INSIDE A BLANKET OF DELICIOUSNESS Enjoy Fresh-Made Crepes, Smoothies And More At Keywa’s In The Mall At Wellington Green STORY AND PHOTOS BY MELANIE KOPACZ
Sweeten your life with rich flavors wrapped inside a warm blanket of deliciousness at the newly opened creperie, Keywa’s in the Mall at Wellington Green. “We specialize in sweet crepes,” owner Julian Sierra said. “We’ve created our own recipes.” An array of colorful pictures are displayed along the menu wall, featuring mouth-watering creations that are sure to satisfy anyone’s taste buds.The menu ranges from a number of sweet and savory crepes to a tasty variety of boba teas, smoothies, thick milkshakes and an assortment of frozen drinks. “We try to give customers something they can’t forget.” Sierra said. “If they always remember, then they always want to come back for it.” Sierra knows what customers love to come back for, as his recipes have turned into cravings for many who frequent the original Keywa’s location in the Boynton Beach Mall, which opened last fall. Less than one year later, co-owner Tania Eifert, Sierra’s wife, feels blessed to have this opportunity to be a part of the Wellington community. “We appreciate the friendships we make with our customers. It’s not like you pick up your food and leave,” she said.“We really like to have a relationship with the clients.”

Situated near the mall’s food court entrance, the freestanding location sits alongside the sunroom of the main dining area. A portrait of their beloved border collie Keywa, the eatery’s namesake, greets customers at the register.The mascot’s name means “one of good spirit,” and it’s that spirit Sierra wants the crepe-
rie to exude onto others, with its friendly staff and delicious, comforting flavors made with fresh ingredients. “The general idea is crepes. Not many places have them,” Eifert said. “Little by little, we’ll keep adding more when we see what our customers like.We’ll listen to their ideas and grow with them.” wellington the magazine | july 2022 51
