Undercooked Crêpe, Generous Filling
My experience at the restaurant involved a crêpe that was unfortunately a bit undercooked and chewy. However, they were very generous with the peanut butter and strawberry filling. If I were to return, I would opt for a cookie instead.

Disappointing Club Sandwich Experience
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I paid $17 for a club sandwich that was surprisingly small. It was served with chips that seemed like they were bought from Costco. Overall, the value for money was poor.

Delicious Crepes in Downtown San Diego
My experience at Olala! Was fantastic. We enjoyed our fresh made crepes immensely. During our stay in downtown San Diego for a conference, we visited this creperia twice and sampled both savory and sweet options. We were pleased with everything we tried. Despite the staff being very busy, they remained very friendly. The atmosphere is cozy, and we loved it!

Disappointing Ice Cream Experience
I visited and purchased a small cone with two scoops of ice cream for $10. After only two licks, I realized I did not like the flavor. I returned to the counter and asked if I could exchange it for a different flavor, explaining that I had barely eaten any of it. I emphasized that I wasn't asking for a refund or a new cone after consuming most of it, just a simple swap. The employee informed me that due to a "made-up law, " they couldn't accommodate my request, stating they hadn't done anything wrong and it was simply my preference. I acknowledged they hadn't erred, but I also hadn't known the flavor would be so unpleasant. I wasn't seeking my money back, only a different flavor, and was willing to discard the uneaten portion. After their refusal, I threw the ice cream away and left, having paid $10 for nothing due to the bad taste. While I've had positive experiences here previously, this incident has ensured I will not be returning. This situation could have been avoided if sampling flavors was permitted. I wish they had handled it differently.

Disappointing Savory Crepe Experience
My experience at the restaurant was quite disappointing. I ordered a savory crepe, which turned out to be the worst crepe I have ever had. Most bites were just dry buckwheat crepe. The sauce was simply mustard, and the portion size was very small. The spinach was raw, making for a pretty unenjoyable meal. I did substitute Swiss cheese for avocado for an extra dollar. Next time, I'm considering trying their tender greens.

Expensive but Delicious Cookies!
My experience at this restaurant was primarily centered around their cookies, which were wildly expensive but undeniably good. I tried the Ube cookie and the classic chocolate chip, and they were perfectly buttery and chewy in the middle with crispier edges. I'd rate the cookies a 100/10 – they are the ideal cookie. Their crepes were also pretty good. They offered a decent portion of fruit and other fillings, and being made to order, they were very hot. My only minor critique of the crepes is that the batter wasn't spread thin enough, but they were still very good. The ice cream itself was just okay and not really worth it as a standalone item, especially considering the small scoop size (comparable to a kids' size at Salt & Straw) for about $6. 5. However, the ice cream was great in an ice cream sandwich. 👌

Rude Service, Disappointing Food
Our experience at the restaurant was far from pleasant. Upon arrival with 4 kids and 3 adults, instead of a greeting, we were met with "hurry up. " The service continued with an attitude when our order was given to us. The kids found the cookies and macaroons to be bad. There was no reason for the staff to be rude and rushed, especially since we were paying customers.

Delicious Jelly Beignets!
My experience was centered around the delicious jelly beignets. The chocolate ones were particularly good when served warm, and the dark chocolate in the trio was a standout favorite 😍 😋! Unfortunately, I don't have a photo because we ate them all!

Disappointing Crepe Experience
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. I used to enjoy their French crepes, which featured delicious ham with white savory cheese and an egg fried and placed on top in the middle. However, this time, the bland cheese was some orange type, and the ham was equally bland. It tasted nothing like a real crepe.

Beware of Overcharging!
My experience at this restaurant was extremely negative. I was charged $106 after initially spending $20. It felt like they were thieves. I strongly advise everyone to ask for your receipt to avoid being overcharged.
