This is a window for Japanese-style crepes and soft serve ice cream attached to Konbiniya. The quality of the ice cream itself is okay - the texture is good, but the flavour is a little weak. When getting the matcha ice cream, I suggest getting straight matcha instead of the twist with vanilla because the vanilla washes out the matcha; it comes through better on its own. The sundaes are fun and a good, more affordable alternative to the similar parfaits at high end matcha cafes. I tried the tuna egg salad crepe and thought it was actually really good! The crepe was fresh and tender, there was a healthy amount of filling, and the tuna salad was actually mostly tuna with just enough mayo to hold it together which is how I prefer it. Again, the service is just through a window - you actually order at an electronic kiosk and the only interaction with a person is when your order is ready. There are two small tables outside if you want to eat there. During the busy summer season, it's very difficult to actually secure one of these tables, but there's other seating on the pedestrian streets just a few blocks away on Robson. read more

Bon Crepe - a hand holding a cup of yogurt - Creperies Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

A small dessert section attached to the Konbiniya Japan Centre. We ordered a Matcha Parfait ($8.46 USD) and shared it among three people! Liked how the parfait has different toppings throughout and the cereal added great texture. Green tea flavor was also good and I liked how it was not too bitter, which sometimes happens with matcha desserts. read more

I been to this place 2 years ago and really like them so I decided to go back here when I'm in the area. Unfortunately, the things I got this time was somewhat disappointing. I got the Japanese corn dog which like a corn dog with takoyaki sauces and flavoring. The corn dog was too mushy and the corn dog itself was low quality. The kaniko ice cream was also lack luster. It was soft serve with some black sugar syrup which made it very sweet. Overall, I would maybe try their crepes next time or just stick to the parfait read more

Inside the cute little Japanese grocery store on Robson, you can indule in delicious soft serve and other Japanese treats (I spotted $3.99 for Takoyaki - uh yum! - but we spotted it too late sadly). Anyways, we ordered a kinako soft serve ($4.99) which was vanilla soft serve with this soy bean flour on top. It actually has a coffee caramelly taste and was really delicious and unique! I am glad I tried it, though matcha soft serve also caught my eye and I am a sucker for green tea ice cream anything. Regardless, if you're out for a stroll on Robson, and craving something sweet, grab a soft serve, crepe or ice cream here or check out one of their savoury options like takoyaki, corndogs (American or Japanese), or savoury crepes! read more

stopped by Bon Crepe for a post-dinner dessert! it's a cute japanese shop that has a sidewalk pop up stand - very similar to the crepe shops in japan. // matcha vanilla soft serve $3.99 // it tasted like a pretty typical vanilla soft serve and the matcha tasted more like green tea (think of green tea kit kat or mochi vs. that strong matcha flavor), can't beat the price of a $3.99 soft serve though. note: the standard cone is free, sugar cone and plastic cup are extra $0.25. they take card too read more

I've always loved stopping by Konbiniya for groceries and snacks and sometimes, I would also get an ice cream or crêpe to go :) Food: 5/5 I've included three different ice creams that I've tried. Yuzu soft serve ・ This ice cream is only available during summertime. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit and it's sour, light, and VERY refreshing. It makes sense that you have to wait until summer for it. It's absolutely perfect on a hot day. I recommend getting it in a different cone or a cup though because the waffle cone has a sweetness that doesn't really suit the yuzu flavor well. Vanilla ice cream with strawberry whip crêpe ・ You can't go wrong with vanilla ice cream and strawberries. The combination is so good! The crêpe itself is very soft and light. It did stick to the paper a bit, so be careful while you eat it. Regardless of that, I would still eat it anytime. Kinako soft serve ・ SO DELICIOUS. Kinako is roasted soybean powder and it usually goes on mochi and other wagashi, but I love the way it tastes with the creamy vanilla ice cream. There's also swirls of kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) which is always perfect with nutty kinako. If it was easy to find kuromitsu, I would be eating this at home. It's that good. Staff: 5/5 They're always so nice and welcoming, and seem to care a lot about making a perfect treat for their customers. Atmosphere: 3.5/5 They have two spots to order: outside (ice cream) and inside (savory food). Inside, there's a bench where you can eat and wait for your food. It's quite loud since it's also a store, but I don't mind. There aren't tables outside, but the ice cream and crêpes are street food, so you can take it on the go or stand outside. I like this though. It's nice to walk down Robson and window shop with ice cream or a snack. Price: 5/5 The yuzu soft serve is $3.80, the crêpe is $7.49, and the kinako soft serve is $4.99. The prices are quite low for what you're getting. The crêpe might seem like a lot, but it's big and has lots of fillings. You could even share it with another person. There's a lot of ice cream spots on Robson so Bon Crepe might get overlooked, but please give it a chance. They have an extensive menu and everything looks good. I really want to try their matcha parfait in the future. read more

We've always seen a huge line outside Bon Crepe during our walks on Robson street. Their menu us placed right outside and has pictures of the crepes which makes it easier to decide what to order. On a particularly hot day in Vancouver I was craving a soft-serve icecream. Lo and behold my search result showed that they sell soft serves too! As expected there were a couple ahead of me and it was closing time. When it was my turn the staff put up the closed sign and that was disappointing! She then realized and took my order. Got the matcha-vanilla. They asked everyone to wait inside the store for our orders. The soft-serve looked exquisite. And tasted good too! Heat wave conquered! read more

Bon Crepe - Matcha Vanilla Soft Serve - Creperies Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The matcha soft serve was icier than it was creamy, and the actual matcha flavour was pretty subdued. At only $4, perhaps it was worth a try (higher quality matcha ice cream is typically more expensive) but definitely not worth a repeat. read more

$2 crepes, ayeee. My boyfriend and I dropped by because we saw this place last time we came to visit but didn't go due to being unsure of what it was exactly. Fast forward a year later, and we gave it a go and I wasn't disappointed. The line was long, but didn't take long to go through. The crepe my boyfriend originally wanted was not available so he opted for a whip cream and strawberries crepe while I opted for a whip cream, bananas, and chocolate drizzle crepe. For $2 the crepes are smaller than your average size, but the flavor was there. read more

Got the #26 and #52 strawberry Nutella crepe with cream and similar with vanilla ice cream. My kids loved both and we ended up getting it again one or two days later (we were on vacation. If you're on Robson Street and looking for a dessert this is a good option. read more

The matcha parfait was very pretty and very instagram worthy, but I think I might have been happier with just a plain soft serve cone. There was too much filler, and the cakes were on the dry side. The best part was the matcha ice cream itself --that part was very yummy! Maybe I have to try it again on a hot summer day. I decided to try it for the first time on a cold winter day in February, what was I thinking.. lol ! read more

While exploring Vancouver I stumbled across the cutest Japanese mini mart that had cute and exotic snacks. Along with it was this crepe stand that made me feel like I was in Japan. This slice of Japanese crepe goodness made me weak to my knees. You are able to watch them make the crepe in front of you as they serve you with pleasure. I would come back and try another flavor as they had a lot of crepe variety and other desserts. It was such hard time choosing just one so I asked the worker for any recommendations! read more

Bon Crepe - Vanilla Ice cream with Strawberry and Banana - Creperies Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Located inside Koboniya Japanese Centre, Bon Crepe has a mix of crepes and soft serve available to order. I've been here a few times and my go to items are their matcha parfait/matcha ice cream. It was up to their general soft serve standards - creamy and delicious! For the kinako in particular I did wish there was a bit more soybean powder but otherwise was quite delicious! An old favourite in the downtown area for soft serve ice cream. read more

I've been here twice or three times already and their Matcha soft serve is just unforgettable in my personal opinion. I came all the way to downtown on Wednesday just for Matcha ice cream($3.80). I usually don't like finishing the cone, but the owner filled icecream all the way to the bottom, and I had to eat the bottom part of the cone. Also it's not too sweet for my liking,YES!

Bon Crepe - Matcha soft serve ($2.95 including tax). So yummy - Creperies Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

If you are a matcha lover, then this place is definitely worth checking out! Although the parfaits and many other items from the menu looked amazing, I settled for the simple Matcha Soft Serve. NO REGRETS! It was amazing... Many other places that serve anything matcha is a tad bit too sweet. Matcha is supposed to be slightly bitter and that is exactly what I got! The matcha flavoring was rich and strong, and the soft serve had a great smooth and creamy consistency. The gentleman that helped me out was nice and the soft serve came out quick. However, there was a line and it moved at a slow place, but that's alright! It was worth the wait. I thought the set up was cute. You can go inside into the store where they sell many Japanese snacks and or you can order from the booth outside! read more

This place is one of the best hidden gems in Vancouver!! It's located inside a Japanese market. And it's run by this Japanese couple and they sell crepes, ice cream or parfaits. My friends have been telling me how delicious this place was so I had to try it! I ordered the matcha parfait and every bite was a delicious taste of heaven! You can tell it was made artistically with love. The cup came with corn flakes at the bottom, sponge cake, mochi, red bean, green tea sponge cake, generous matcha froyo swirl, and a vanilla wafer. It was one of the best desserts I've ever had! Totally reminded me of Japan. You have to come check this place out. Seriously the BEST matcha parfait I've ever had!!! read more

If you love matcha, crepes, parfait - you need to come here. It's in small corner of a Japanese konbini store and you could easily miss it. Or maybe not if you notice the big soft serve ice cream on a cone in front of their little stand. You can have green tea ice cream, custard, red bean, etc. in a crepe or a parfait. I like to keep it simple so, I got a matcha soft serve. The matcha flavor was strong which is definitely a good thing. Creamy, smooth, mildly sweet soft serve. Oishi! They only take cash. read more

Bon Crepe - Matcha Parfait - Creperies Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Tried the matcha parfait and it was so refreshing on a hot summer day! This location has a convenient walk up window for you to order your dessert rather than walking inside the store. Prices for their crepes are slightly pricier than other places. They have to occasionally make more of the matcha flavor due to high demand, so don't be surprised if you have to wait. The matcha flavored yogurt wasn't as creamy as I expected it to be and I definitely had better elsewhere in California, but it was nonetheless good. (Gunther's in Sacramento, CA serves the BEST green tea ice cream!) The parfait comes with a wafer, red beans, vanilla ice cream, green tea cake and corn flakes on the bottom of the cup. Everything was good except the green tea cake. It was very dry and tasted chalky. Anyway, stop by here and treat yourself! This place does not disappoint. Lots of crepe selections to choose from and you'll definitely leave here with a happy belly! :) read more

I came here for desserts. Looking at their menu, they have a wide variety of crepes and other green tea desserts. Lots of people especially students visit this shop or crepe place. I ordered a pudding whip topping crepe. The crepe was warm and soft and smelt so good!! The egg pudding tasted excellent as well. It went so well with whip cream. The whole crepe did not taste too sweet. It was about right. Even I had finished the pudding whip topping crepe, I wanted to eat and order more! There are only four seats inside the shop. This shop is a small Japanese supermarket as well, so there is limited space for an eating area. However, I would highly recommend to try any of the food on their menu!!!! There must be something that you like. read more

4 stars for the matcha soft serve freshly made but be prepared for a wait if they need to make more. I ordered it in a crepe but that was nothing really special and the ice cream to red bean to crepe ratio was way off. This place is cash only. Note: If you're from the United States​, please have Canadian money on hands because their exchange rate was $1 usd to $1 cad. Definitely the worst exchange rate I've seen on my recent visit. read more

If you've been to Vancouver and walked along Robson, then you know Bon Crepe. They are attached to the Japanese candy/pocky grocery market, Konbiniya, which I didn't realize the last time I was in Vancouver. I wanted something sweet after our ramen dinner so I decided to try one of their Japanese crepes. I was hoping for something similar to the awesome ones I had in San Francisco, at a place called Genki Crepes.That place is LEGIT. I settled for a poor man's version instead: - Green tea ice cream with red bean ($4.72) - the green tea was good but the crepe was flimsy and didn't have a good crispy texture or taste to it. It kind of was just there to hold the green tea ice cream and red bean. I should have ordered one of their green tea parfaits instead, which looked waaaay better. Anyways, Bon Crepe is a spot to drop by if you want a quick bite or more like, if your already in the area to buy/re-stock up on your Asian sweets. Seriously, so many types of Pocky = girls swarming like bee's to get their fix. read more

Quick note: We only had the matcha parfait, so this review does not reflect the quality of the crepes or other offerings provided. Yummmmm! Green tea + soft serve = A matcha made in heaven. I wouldn't expect to have a "sit down" experience here, as it's only a walk-by window located inside a Japanese-themed convenience store. The older gentleman serving the desserts was rather...gruff. He's not one for small talk, but he was accommodating enough to provide exact change in American currency. A gesture we very much appreciated as we were in the final hours of our stay in Canada. It takes them a bit of time to craft these desserts, so be prepared to wait for a bit if there's a line. Overall, the parfait was fantastic! I don't personally have a great deal of experience of matcha soft serve (it's just now starting to catch on in Portland), but the taste had just the right mix of matcha powder bitterness to make it taste green tea-like, while still maintaining enough sweetness to be considered soft serve ice cream. The texture was smooth and wasn't icy, like some of the cheaper quality soft-serves I've experienced. The sponge cake and tapioca's textures were also spon on. I would definitely return again if I were a resident, but would probably just get the matcha soft serve on its own. The corn flakes and wafer made for a beautiful parfait visually, but I felt like I would've enjoyed the ice cream more without them. Cash only. read more

The crepes can be summarized in one word: AMAZING. Oh my gosh, do yourself a favor and order a crepe. It's reasonably priced and you will not regret it. We got the strawberry with custard and whipped cream for around $5. You can watch the crepe mixture being poured out and the crepe being made at the counter where you order. The crepe was soft. It was sweet, but not toooo sweet. The fillings were on point. They were cold, but not too cold, and it contrasted well with the warm crepe. I didn't try the green parfait this time, but it will my next order when I come back to Robson Street! read more

Bon Crepe's matcha soft serve is just like Japan's!! I got the Azuki one (without the whipped cream) and the red bean paste added just a little extra oomph to a delicious (and generous) cup of soft serve that had the perfect amount of matcha flavor. My mom got a vanilla-matcha twist and found the vanilla to be a bit bland - definitely just go for the plain matcha because it's amazing!! Will definitely be back :) read more

I visit this little joint every time I am in the area. Really good matcha flavour items (I.e. soft serve)

Whoa, this place is crazy good. I stumbled upon this place on Yelp and saw all the crazy photos of this 'Matcha Parfait' and decided to give this a try since this stand is part of an actual Japanese grocery store! There are a million and one matcha soft serve places in Vancouver and this place is THE MOST LEGIT out of all of them! I hate how other matcha soft serve places taste too dang sweet or they're too dang soft/melted through. This place has their matcha game on point. Consistency is perfectly frozen. You can actually taste the bitterness and THANK the matcha gods for that! I'm a plain Jane so I ordered just a cup of the soft serve and was pretty satisfied. The parfaits look delish and I might want to try them one day, but for now, I'll stick to just the soft serve on it's own because it's just that good! read more

There is not one delicious component missing in this stuffed to-the-brim parfait. You need a diagram to figure out what's in it, and when I spotted the sign for it, I could not pass it up. I was not even hungry. In fact, I'm pretty sure I was already full from lunch....but how could I pass this up as I've never seen such an amazing concoction in Hawaii. I was on vacation and how was I to know if I would ever encounter this again?! (Cue dramatic music) Anyway, needless to say, the expertly and beautifully layered ingredients of the pudding parfait made for a magical treat: Sponge cake Corn flakes Vanilla ice cream Tapioca Caramel pudding Caramel syrup Vanilla soft serve Strawberries Whipped cream AND TOPPED OFF WITH A VANILLA WAFER... All for $6 Canadian. Which equates to even cheaper for Americans (as of Aug 2014 :) ) If you're in the vicinity, get it! read more

The matcha soft serve was delicious. 10/10 would recommend. Service was quick and efficient.

Not a bad treat to get while walking from Stanley park back to pacific center. We saw a group of people get this on our walk and decided to treat ourselves. The green tea soft serve looked really good. It's a cute little shop from the outside. They have pictures of all the different crepes that they offered. We probably waited for less than five minutes in line the soft serve tasted okay. It was a little bitter like green tea and less sweet for an ice cream. I guess I give them credit for sticking to what it should taste like, green tea but it just didn't taste as good as the other green tea ice creams that j have had. The soft serve was also a little melted. The cone was the cheap kind, not very tasty. It was like cardboard cone. read more

While Bon Crepe is highly praised for their authentic Japanese crepes (consisting of a mochi-like texture with fresh sweet or savoury fillings), I think I'd actually prefer my crepes slightly crispier. So whenever I do come here, I tend to get the soft serve parfaits over anything else. The Green Tea Soft Serve with Red Bean is composed of the perfect density, intense Japanese matcha flavours, and completed with slight sweetness from the red bean paste. They certainly don't mess around here, the matcha flavour is boldly present during each taste and leaves a slight bittersweet aftertaste. Some argue that the soft ice cream could be sweeter, but I actually really like how Bon Crepe doesn't drown out the traditional matcha taste with sweetener. I'm so excited to have found a worthwhile place to add to my Matcha Snob list on Yelp. Pure deliciousness! Verdict: Like your typical Asian eats, please note that Bon Crepe takes cash only. If crepes with a chewier texture aren't your thing, stick with the soft serve, sundaes, or parfaits. Matcha lovers, get anything with Green Tea Soft Serve, When in doubt, always go with the parfait. read more
