Big Mountain Deli & Crêperie
2475 Main St, Lake Placid, NY
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Lake Placid, this spot is a spirited crepe and sandwich destination where 46 menu items are cleverly named after Adirondack peaks, making each order feel like a small adventure. The kitchen genuinely cares about their craft—whether it's a decadent Nutella crepe, a properly loaded chicken sandwich, or a creative mocha-based drink—and the generous portions of quality ingredients shine through even during their busiest hours. It's the kind of warm, unpretentious place that works equally well for a quick breakfast before hitting the slopes or lingering over brunch with family and friends.”

Wow! The people there really enjoy making their food. It was probably the best crepe that I've ever had (strawberry Nutella). And the chicken sandwich (#44) was really good. The avalanche (mocha and other ingredients I can't remember) was a wonderful recommendation by the person taking our order. We will definitely be back again!
We were in town for a nice day skating at the oval, and the competitions... we walked in about an hour before closing, which shouldn't make any difference in the quality of merchandise to each individual customer. Looked cute staff was friendly even if one was a little new to english, we were confused about where the line started, I asked the cashier looked confused, so I asked a customer and they pointed us in the direction of their group which wasnt all ready to order yet. So we stepped up with our orders ready, my partner got a plain hot latte, my daughter got a plain hot chocolate and I got a fun latte called "the bark" a maple latte (it sounded good. After waiting a few minutes in anticipation, we pick a table it hadn't been cleaned off from the last customer since it had been busy, understandable; so we wiped it off. The lady shouts our order and I picked up the latte and the hot chocolate first and bring it over to the table, then I grab mine and thank the lady with a big smile. Little did I know the next few sips were quite confusing, the latte I ordered was cold and had an off taste to it, I took a few more sips, thinking it might have just been the whipped cream that cooled it off but no it didnt get warmer, the sour taste didnt go away. I threw it out, and as they were busy I didnt waste their time with a complaint. Later that day, my stomach felt horrible I got sick, my partner was squeezy all afternoon, and my daughter was throwing up all night. I should have complained as all the drinks had a slight sourness to them. We didnt go anywhere else to eat that day because we had trail snacks from home for our next event. I wouldn't come here again with the level of care our drinks recieved I dont think I could trust another sip after the night we have had. Cute place, but that's unacceptable customer food handling and care.
First time here we ordered sandwiches which did have generous portions of the ingredients but the second time no so much. The person making the sandwich put less in the sandwich and forgot to add the provolone cheese for the Marshall sandwich. We were disappointed when we got back to our hotel room for lunch and opened it up. For almost $14 not worth it. It was tasty but not prepared properly. I did call to let them know just so the workers preparing the food are more careful.
Big Mountain Creperie is an absolute must-visit in Lake Placid! They have 46 different sandwiches named after the Adirondack peaks — such a fun and unique touch. We tried the banana Nutella breakfast crêpe (amazing!) and the spinach, mushroom, and feta omelette (delicious, fresh, and satisfying). The food comes out hot and flavorful, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming even when the place is buzzing with people. A cozy, busy spot that delivers both charm and great food every single time.
Some banging sandwiches, decent prices. 44 (Chicken with other stuff) comes with a lotttt of grilled chicken and it’s really good. The roast beef is delicious. Overall, you can tell they use quality ingredients. My one qualm is that more of the sandwiches should come toasted my default. Like roast beef with cheese should be toasted. Just sayin. Their fun lattes are also a delicious sweet treat. I really liked both the peppermint mocha and coconut mocha. Took about 10 minutes to get our sandwiches after ordering, and waited around 10 mins in line (in August on a Saturday)
