SPEAKING on the phone while creating crepes and wraps in her Flemington café, Annick Elziere is probably going against her “savor the moment” philosophy by multitasking. She’s excited to talk about the Café Annick Music and Arts Festival on Sept. 28, but is waiting on customers at the same time.

Ms. Elziere pauses to take an order from two men who have wandered in for a late lunch, both of whom ask for a side in addition to a sandwich. “Are you sure?” she says, telling the customer that one of her wrap sandwiches will be quite enough for a mid-afternoon bite – there’s no need for anything else.
