    Located in strip mall near Nijaya market. We were nearby and decided to come check them out. Cute little dessert spot with plenty of tables. Their menu consisted mainly of gelato, crepes and coffee. Lady that waited on us was friendly and polite and when we asked how long they had been in business she told us 2009. We ordered cookies and cream gelato and a vanilla gelato as well. My favorite was the vanilla and next time I will try the pistachio for sure! Come check them out!

    Came here after enjoy a nice lunch and massage in the area and I just needed a good old fashion thai tea and I'm so glad I stopped in! I walked in and they inside was really nice and welcoming with some people working on their laptops and enjoying their desserts. The woman behind the counter took my order right away. I ordered a Thai tea with light boba and it was perfect. The flavor was spot on ans the boba pearls were just the right kind of chewy, not too mushy or slimy but perfect! I also asked to try some samples of the ice cream. I tried the Taro ice cream and pistachio ice cream which were both pretty decent and beautifully displayed. I asked if the ice cream was made fresh daily ans the woman said they were made every other day which was fine because the ice cream was still pretty good. Over all, a really sweet place and I can't wait to come back!

    latte!

    I really enjoy their coffee. I often come here right after grocery shopping as a treat. I've had their gelato and crepes before, but I much prefer the coffee instead. I usually get a latte, either hazelnut or vanilla, and it's quite good and strong as I like it. I absolutely love the cubed ice they use. I'm quite particular about my ice. It's also more on the acidic side than I'd like it to be, but it's still delish! The crepes I have had here were okay, they weren't great but I'd recommend to get something else instead. Employees are always super sweet and they make your orders super quick. Tables are a-plenty for a cafe.

    A perfect dessert! The crepe itself was soft enough to use only a fork to cut. I'm usually not a fan of whipped cream but the one they put inside the crepe was delicious! There's a lot of seating inside and outside, makes a cute date spot! I'll have to come back to try the gelato flavors of the brown sugar butter crepe!

    WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! A male cashier working on the evening of February 25th between 7-8pm was incredibly rude and bitter to a customer with a nut allergy. I have experienced this multiple times already and this is my last straw. My friend and I visit almost once a month and order a crepe with ice cream and always disclose that they have a nut allergy and request for the staff to do what they can to prevent cross contamination since some of their ice cream flavors and topping include nuts. This male cashier ALWAYS gives us attitude and we can't stand it anymore. The crepe ain't THAT good. I don't know what this guy has against people with nut allergies but he is always giving attitude and it gets so much worse when you disclose that you're allergic to nuts. Management needs to pull this man to the side, teach him some manners, and give him a whoopin before someone else does.

    Salted Caramel Banana Crepe with Cookie Butter Gelato

    Salted Caramel Banana Crepe with Cookie Butter Gelato (10/10): I love the thinness and subtle sweetness from the crepe; it's definitely not too eggy and allows the other flavors to shine. The bananas were at the perfect ripeness, so it did not make the dessert super sweet. The custard filling and light drizzle of salted caramel is such an amazing combination. The cookie butter gelato was nice and creamy, and it was super enjoyable eating both the gelato and crepe together. Overall Thoughts: I highly recommend the crepes (although I wish they put more custard in the filling) and gelato. They have a lot of unique Asian flavor gelatos, which makes each visit a pleasant surprise because I can try a different flavor each time. The vibe of the cafe is super friendly and cute. There are lots of chairs and tables, and it would be a great study spot as it isn't too noisy to concentrate. The workers are very nice, and it doesn't take them too long to make my order. I'll definitely visit Cafe Hue again to try a different flavored crepe and gelato!

    I get the mixed berries with Nutella crepe and a side of pistachio every single time. Fast, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I could eat crepes everyday, especially the ones from Cafe Hue! :)

    Matcha coconut
    Grace C.

    I ordered their matcha coconut drink and it was decent. I got the large and after tip and tax it was almost $10 for the drink. Service was great and my drink came out pretty quick. The drink was on the creamy side and the matcha had some clumps but it was still good. I would come again but I'd just get the regular size.

    My friends and I used to go here all the time since 2012. We came by to visit just like the old times and it's still as good as I remembered! I ordered my usual nutella crepe. I didn't realize how much I missed it! It was so good I finished it in less than 5 minutes! They also had a lot of gelato flavors to choose from. If you're not into sweets, they also have savory crepes! Service was fast, and they have plenty of seating areas. It was clean and there's planty of lighting inside. Save some room for dessert and stop by here for a crepe!

    This place serves a large variety of food, from crepes, to ice cream, and even boba! The workers there are very friendly, and overall it's a very chill atmosphere.

    If you have not visited this small place, you are truly missing out. If you like Belgian waffles or French crepes, this is the place to get one. I have been around the world, have had many decent crepes even in Paris; those made at Cafe Hue are amazing, better than anything I have ever sampled. I have even brought here friends who live in Europe and they concurred with me! Give this place a shot! My favorite is Nutella with whipped cream; their whipped cream is not the traditional white whipped cream but rather this buttery tasting, off white whipped cream that has a dreamy taste! Try this place at your own risk; you will be addicted!

    Alan S.

    I would say the service and the way they were able to add the marshmallow and whip cream for my kids' hot chocolate was the reason this place gets 5 stars . The price was a bit more higher than other places but it was cold day. They have lots of crepes both savory and sweet and next time I would try those other flavors and options. They have a variety of gelato and waffles and dressings. It is next to Nijiya market place and in a busy shopping plaza but parking was not hard to find.

    Do you make raindrop cakes?

    No, it doesn't seem like they have that on the menu.

    Can you make a yummy dessert without a milk product and Without nuts? I see all your pictures posted and all look yummy but my son has milk allergies and can't have anything with nuts or seeds .

    I have ordered crepes, waffles and shaved ice without nuts or seeds because my children have same allergies. They oblige and are attentive to your dietary needs.

My friends and I were just looking to get a coffee in Little Italy, but when we walked in and saw all the delicious treats we had to try something else as well.

The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door.

Pizza was good, but soggy in the middle. The pasta was good, no complaints there. The sandwich was very lacking in the meat department... It was basically a bread and arugula sandwich. Had very low expectations for the gelato to begin with seeing as the colors were extremely unnatural and the way it was heaped was a clear indication to me that it is not legitimate gelato and unfortunately, I was proven very right. I got the strawberry so that my toddler could have a few few bites and it was so unnatural and weird tasting that she didn't even want any... And if that doesn't say something! My husband got the coffee flavor and he literally took three bites and threw it away as well. I will say, though, on the food front, the prices are reasonable here all things considered, but maybe stick with pasta... based on everything As a whole though, you can likely get a much more legitimate Italian meal somewhere else in the area, but it will probably cost you more.

There was hardly anyone in line when we walked in, but by the time we got our gelato and turned around, the line was out the door!

What made the experience even better was the staff. One of the employees was incredibly friendly, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the gelato. He encouraged us to sample flavors, asked what kinds of flavors we enjoyed, and made thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences. It felt like talking with a wine sommelier--someone who truly understood flavor and wanted us to find the perfect match. You could tell he genuinely loved his job, and that enthusiasm made the whole experience even more memorable.

The shop itself is casual, with just a few seats inside and several tables outside. It's a great stop whether you're on a date, out with friends, or enjoying a family night in Little Italy.
