    the ambiance was amazing the decor was so cute but I noticed we did not get greeted as other people there and I had to walk up and get my own menu as other people got walked to their table and handed a menu it took the waitress about 10 minutes to come even though they were standing and waiting even talking amongst themselves. They only loosened up when they realized I spoke Spanish too. The milkshake I ordered was the vanilla milkshake and I told our waitress "for here" but she gave it to us in a to go cup but I didn't mind. The milkshake was okay the only flavor was the marshmallows on top but other than that me and my boyfriend both agreed it tasted like Pedialyte. Overall I would come back but maybe I would try the food next time instead of any milkshakes or beverages

    We came in at approximately 8:35PM, just in time to order for a dine-in experience. The cashier was a helpful young woman and everyone was very friendly. After we ordered, I proceeded to take pictures and some video of the store and of them making the crepes. Even though I made the lady doing the batter nervous on the first crepe, she persisted and was able to flip the other 2 successfully and without hesitation. I watched as the hand-cut every piece of fruit and even saw that the whipped cream was made in-store (best kind). The fresh-cut strawberries were sweet, juicy, and slightly tart. Perfect! The bananas weren't mealy and had plenty of flavor. The whipped cream had depth and was fluffy and not overly sweet. They actually added powdered sugar over the top of the crepes with drizzles of either caramel (delis, as I can attest) or chocolate sauce. The crepes were still warm while the fruit was still cold and the ice cream stayed frozen while we ate them too! While the workspaces were not at all clean and were covered in chocolate, cream, and fruit juice smears all over the place, it honestly didn't really bother me. However, I know it will bother some. If you have allergies or are worried about cross-contamination, this might now be the place for you. These are no Japanese-level crepes, but they happen to be one of the only fresh crepe places in the OTP North "Atlanta" area. I mean- they're in Duluth. The only other places that even offer crepes are not even listed on Yelp because they are individual sellers as opposed to full-on businesses. The place was pretty busy and had music. It was lit with somewhat harsh fluorescent lights, and the signage was a bit difficult because outside it says "Crepes and Fresas", but the door and inside says Postres and Bakery". I asked about this and they said because they are all under the "La Abuela" business umbrella, the bakery and crepes businesses were combined into 1 shop. I took one because of the cleanliness issue, but the crepes were delicious, so they're getting a good score from me. Give them a shot and see what you think!

    Absolutely loved this spot! This cafe is a dreamy pink paradise -- the decor is stunning, with beautiful floral arrangements, pink chairs, and cozy vibes all around. The atmosphere is super aesthetic and perfect for hanging out with friends or snapping some cute pics . We ordered crepes with Nutella, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and a cherry on top -- they were delicious and beautifully presented. The small ice cream dish on the side was a nice touch too. The portions were just right and everything tasted fresh. Service was friendly and quick. I also appreciated the little details -- from the gold cutlery to the marble tables -- it all felt very well thought out. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun, Instagram-worthy dessert cafe with great food!

    My friends and I visited after I mentioned a high school friend of mine liking this place. Once I…read morerealized where it was... I was skeptical. I do not feel as though downtown Duluth truly captures the amazing food scene of the city, but again, an old friend did like it enough to tell me about it. Inside was pretty spacious. High ceilings and bright. You have to go up front and order, and they'll give you a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. Pretty standard so far. It's not too loud, even with the music playing in the background, so not bad for hanging out with friends after the food is done, though we didn't. We were all pretty disappointed with our food. It wasn't bad, thankfully, it was just meh. We could've literally drove 5 minutes away for better, so we left as soon as we finished. The good thing is you get to choose what protein you want with your dish, which is nice. However, the chicken katsu here is thin. Also, the K-Fried chicken doesn't really mesh with the pasta. It's like a skewer on the side of your main dish. You can eat them separately and be happy enough. I was ok with the bulgogi, but I would've expected better from a Korean establishment. I haven't tried every single protein option, but I won't lie, tofu in pasta isn't the most appealing to me. For the main dishes, it was pretty bland, especially the omurice. You need the egg and the protein for flavor. The Schezwan pasta wasn't even spicy. At least the carbonara was creamy as it should be.

    Updated : The Vongole Two-Item Special is definitely a great combo! The clam pasta pairs really…read morewell with the sweet & spicy Korean chicken and Bulgogi beef. Both proteins were flavorful and satisfying. Spending $20 also came with a free Ade, and I chose the Passion Fruit -- sweet, refreshing, and a perfect match with the meal. Definitely one of my favorite combos here!

We got drinks with our meal and then more after to chat over. Recommend anything with jasmine tea it is so good, it's made in house! Really really loved the kumquat jasmine tea.

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

While it as delicious i think charging $20 bucks for ice is a little ridiculous. I get the toppings and a scope of real ice cream is added but those are not that expensive lol. My Korean coffee would be rated at 0/10, overly sweet. I had high expectations because I love Vietnamese coffee and thought it would be strong like theirs too. But overly a good experience
