We came from Hollister and were told they only had buckwheat crepes. I’ll be honest, I was worried my kids wouldn’t like them and almost didn’t order. MariCruz noticed my hesitation and kindly offered us a sample to try first. That small gesture meant a lot. The kids actually loved them, and we ended up ordering three. She explained that buckwheat is a healthier option, and truly, we didn’t taste much of a difference besides the color. What stood out most was her patience and kindness. I walked in with four kids, and she treated us with such warmth and care. It didn’t feel rushed or transactional, she genuinely wanted us to have a good experience. Because of her, we’ll absolutely be coming back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Me and My boyfriend had a amazing meal and drink highly recommend this place best crepe we ever had and the workers was super kind to remake my drink due to my diet restrictions it was mainly on me for not reading the menu correctly or asking for the sweetness level or dairy substitute worker was even extremely more kind to walk outside to hand my drink 100 would come here again ❤️

I visited today and unfortunately observed a food safety concern. The employee handling my order was switching between handling cash, touching their hair, and preparing food without washing hands or changing gloves. I understand places get busy, but basic hygiene is extremely important when handling food. This made me uncomfortable continuing to eat. I hope management can address this to ensure proper food safety practices are followed moving forward.
