- crepesMy experience at this itty bitty place in the heart of the Mission was fantastic! They serve killer sandwiches and super savory crepes. My personal favorite is The Mexican sandwich on Dutch crunch, which is generously filled with grilled chicken and avocado, and topped with their signature sauce, aptly named 'The Bomb Sauce'.

Ambience (5.3 out of 10)
mentioned by 42% of the guests
Many folks find the ambience quite charming, appreciating the hole in the wall feel and the cute and small space that creates a chill vibe. Out of 23 pieces of feedback, 8 positive remarks highlight these aspects, contributing to an average 5.3 score for the overall atmosphere. However, its not all smooth sailing.
A significant number of customers, 9 to be exact, point out issues like bad techno music and strange videos by the cash register. The biggest drawback seems to be the lack of seating, making it to-go only and often feeling crowded', which unfortunately results in a poor customer satisfaction of just 34.8%.

- crowdedso it got really crowded
- eat insideI love this place, they make very good crepes. The downside is that after the pandemic, you can't eat inside the restaurant anymore. You have to wait outside if you order, which is a shame.
- house musicThe place is cute and small, and I love the varied selection they offer. However, there's always unfitting house music playing with strange videos by the cash register.

If youre looking for a quick grab-and-go spot with a unique, small-space vibe and dont mind the music, this could work. But if you prefer to sit down, relax, or dislike techno, you might find the experience frustrating.

Boba Price Increase and Topping Policy
My experience was just okay. The price for boba has gone up a few bucks. I thought I could swap toppings, but that wasn't an option, and they charge extra for them.

Sweet Boba and Delicious Crepes
I was in the area for a quick errand and had a craving for boba. I found this spot based on the reviews. I ordered the Taro boba and a French Connection Crepe.
The taro boba was on the sweeter side, as there are no custom sugar percentage options, but the boba itself was pretty good. The crepe was also delicious! It's a nice little hole in the wall.

Amazing Sandwiches and Service in the Mission
My experience at this restaurant was highly recommended. The place is located "in the cuts, " but it's definitely worth seeking out. The owner is amazing, and the sandwiches are both great and very delicious.
If you're in the Mission, you absolutely have to stop at this place; you will not regret it.
