For Crêpe Sake
FCS began in 2014 in the Lansing City Market before moving downtown Lansing and finally to M.A.C across from the campus of Michigan State University to serve our friends in person and at special events around the greater Lansing area. We would love to cater your next event – indoors or outdoors, big or small.
Stop by for a visit in the heart of downtown East Lansing!
Brown Butter Crêperie and Café began in 2015 as a food truck and continues to serve our friends at farmer’s markets and special events around West Michigan. We would love to cater your next event – indoors or outdoors.
Come visit us in the historic windmill building located in the Eastown neighborhood of Grand Rapids!

The Local Epicurean Grand Rapids
The Local Epicurean Grand Rapids is the original home of the concept. What began as a small idea centered on fresh, small-batch pasta production in downtown Grand Rapids grew into something much more.
From its roots making pasta by hand, the space evolved organically into a beloved neighborhood destination offering cooking classes, curated wines, take-and-bake meals, and a European-style market filled with Italian specialties and house-made favorites. The Grand Rapids location carries the soul of the brand—grounded in craftsmanship, curiosity, and the simple joy of great ingredients brought together with care.
This is where The Local Epicurean began, and where the philosophy of slowing down and gathering around food first took shape.
The Local Epicurean East Lansing was designed from the ground up as an immersive culinary experience. Built around hands-on, three-course cooking classes, the space brings people together to cook, learn, and share a great meal in a warm, welcoming setting.
Guests can watch fresh pasta being made in-house, enjoy curated Italian wines and cocktails at the bar, and explore a thoughtfully selected market featuring handmade pasta, take-and-bake dishes, cheeses, sauces, and specialty items sourced from Italy and beyond. Whether hosting a private group, celebrating a milestone, or simply stopping in, East Lansing is about connection through food.
The Local Epicurean East Lansing isn’t a restaurant. It’s a place to gather, slow down, and experience food as something meant to be shared.
