La Crêperie Café Bis has a sign on its front door informing customers that it is now closed. Those who hold a gift certificate can have it redeemed at their Center City location.
The G Lodge Restaurant is our most recent Local Business Spotlight. Located just a couple of miles from downtown to Phoenixville, the G Lodge has been a go to spot for breakfast and lunch for over 34 years. It was even featured in M.Night Shyamalan's 'The Happening'. The following is from RetroRoadmap.com:
If you’ve just visited Valley Forge National Park you may still be in the Colonial-era headspace, so why not continue in that vein by breakfast/lunching at the G Lodge? The inside of this unassuming roadside eatery (attached to an auto repair shop) echoes the log cabin structures of adjacent national park...just not as drafty.
Daily specials are listed above the counter, and there’s a lot on the menu as well. My eyes to always be bigger than my stomach here, though I’ve never sprung for the G-Buster special. Unlike many diner fans I am not a fan of breakfast homefries so I love that they have potato patties (deep fried!) as an option.

I agree it's a shame, but I always thought the service was dreadful and the food was so-so. here's an account of my experiences there:

a bakery would be awesome...I've heard that Eliza's makes some fantastic cakes, but I've never had a chance to try one.
Au Revoir....
Can't say I'm gonna miss you!!!
I would LOVE to see a sushi/hibachi place to up in town.
If you want to know, maybe just email Henry Wagner, at ___________?
The creperie definitely did themselves in with their lack of service (even when we were the only ones in there...what were they doing?). I went there many times becasue the food was delicious, but knew it was only a matter of time due to the poor service. What a shame.
As for the bakery - I stopped in once to ask if she baked rolls and she looked at me like I had two heads, LOL. Was that too much to ask? I never went back. I can say that I did the same at JoeysII. I made a comment to the owner when the store first opened up and he looked right through me. After gettin my wing orders mixed up a few more times I decided to go elsewhere. Thats the way it goes.
Good god, I hope there's no Startbucks. No more coffee.

The service was slow and the waiter was horrifically rude. We came in an hour before closing and after it took us 45 minutes to get our dinner crepes he let us sit there for 20+ minutes with empty plates in front of us, despite the fact that were were one of two tables left in the place. (My boyfriend even left at one point to feed the meter a few blocks away and came back and our plates were still not cleared.)
When he finally decided to come over to us we asked if we could order dessert and he sniped that the kitchen was closed. So I got upset and told him I wanted to speak to a manager and he started yelling at us and told us to get out. I have NEVER been treated like that at a restaurant and as a former restaurant server myself, I can tell you that's not how you treat customers.
I am making it my personal mission to start a bad word of mouth campaign on them! I hope all their stupid locations go out of business!
