- crepesI love how much they pay attention to the presentation of the crepes, especially when they add cute little faces on each of them. I've been coming here for years now and I can say that they have always made their crepes still as good. I always get the nutella and strawberries crepe with chocolate ice cream, whipped cream and cornflakes, but they have a lot of different combinations and you can customize it yourself too!
- ice creamMy experience was delightful! I enjoyed delicious ice cream that was so creatively crafted to look like animals, they were almost too cute to eat. It's the perfect place to stop for a snack while exploring the Japan Center shops.
- crepeMy experience at the restaurant was great! I had a delicious crepe which was made right in front of me. It was served with vanilla bean ice cream that tasted very fresh and was very good.
- flavorsThis is my go-to crepe place because they have so many options. Tons of different flavors and creative toppings including green tea cheesecake and tiramisu! They also make the cutest crepes you will ever see!

- crepe placemy go to crepe place because they have so many options
- drinksThe drinks and the crepes were delicious!
- presentationI got the crepe filled with strawberry cheesecake ice cream, strawberries and condensed milk. They made it super fast and it looked super cute, almost too cute to ruin! Their ice cream was really the selling point for me since it had chunks of cheesecake within.
- Asian fillingsThey were topped off with creamy ice cream and a cute face, making them definitely something to try at least once. I also appreciated the option of Asian fillings like red beans and matcha. The bubble tea, however, was way too sweet for my liking.

Worst Crepe Experience Ever
I genuinely don’t know what the HELL the other reviews are talking about. Giving this place a 4. 6 is simply unfathomable.
When I received the crepe, I was mildly befuddled by the presentation; it was most definitely the ugliest crepe I’ve ever had the shame of witnessing. It also tasted just like pure sugar, except it wasn’t even good; it felt like I was eating sugar to torture myself. I couldn’t even finish this crepe, and I always finish my food unless it’s terrible.
My friends and I were all pissed off about this, upset that we wasted our money and appetite on this. Do not come, I plead with you all.

Adorable Crepes with Unique Flavors
My experience at the restaurant was delightful! I absolutely loved the crepes and service. The crepes were incredibly soft and fluffy.
We tried the #28, which featured coffee ice cream and pudding. It was a unique combination, but both flavors paired well together. The presentation was also charming, with an adorable bear face (◍•ᴗ•◍) ʕ´•ᴥ• ʔ.
