I created my own crepe with strawberries, Nutella, and vanilla ice cream. My friend got the strawberry chocolate cup with the Dubai style upgrade. The crepe was delicious and absolutely covered in Nutella. My friend enjoyed hers, but noted that it didn't have kataifi. The staff member was very patient and friendly as we decided what to order because everything looked so good. There were chairs and tables right outside the shop to immediately enjoy our treats. read more

This was my 2nd time attending French Touch, and it was very enjoyable. This time I tried the honeymoon, which was a sweet crepe including Nutella, bananas, and strawberries. My first time, I "Created my Own", and had a savory crepe that included chicken, pesto, and avocado. It was so fresh and delicious, I can't forget it. The service was great ! Felt very authentic, and I would definitely return. Thank you! Bon appétit. read more

French Touch delivers crepes that are light, fresh, and packed with flavor. My go-to is the banana strawberry crepe an all-time favorite I can never skip. The staff is warm and welcoming, and I love that this spot is in a kid-friendly mall. Cozy beachside vibe makes it the perfect place for a treat or casual hangout. read more

The store was a little hard to find. It's located inside the mall so park in a structure and walk into the mall. Looked them up in the directory. It's a small store. No seating inside but there are tables and chairs right outside their store. I ordered the Milano. It was like a pizza but sweet and savory. Surprised me but delicious and good crepe texture. They have preselected crepes or you can design your own with various toppings. May be on the pricier end but most French things are ;) Staff was pleasant. read more

If you're craving for a good Dubai strawberry chocolate cup, this is the perfect place! It's only $12 which is pretty good compared to $17. The crepes & bubble waffles are extremely soft and delicious! read more

This place is soooo yummy! Was craving a crepe and decided to come here. I ended up getting the Choco Banana Bubble Waffle , that was a 9/10, it ended up being too much chocolate for me but I definitely enjoyed it! We also got the Oreo Lover Bubble Waffle and that was a 10/10.. will be coming back just for this one!! The crepes were okay! My kids got milkshakes and liked them all. The Nutella, Chocolate, & Cookies N Cream, and they are usually very picky! Service was good, we were greeted as soon as we walked in. Then proceeded to order via their system. Our order was done within 15-20 min, we had enough time to go to Sephora. It is very small in there, but they have chairs outside for you to enjoy your desserts. read more

This is a small crepery in the beautiful upscale Manhattan Village mall. The single attendant was actually French and recommended a few savory and sweet crepes for my family. It's very customizable but there's also many cool preset choices like pepperoni and spinach pizza or strawberries and Nutella crepe. They have these huge ice creme cone-like crepes that I didn't try. But maybe with more kids it'll be good pick. Anyway it was super easy to order and the crepe was piping hot and fresh in less than 10 minutes. Not bad at all for a tiny location. Some places like in Santa Monica will make you take a table and wait 30 minutes for the same thing. read more

This was our first time trying out the crepes at French Touch, and they were delicious! I got a savory crepe, and I really liked the "pick three" option, where you get the crepe and mozzarella cheese as a base, and choose three items to go inside. (I had spinach, red onions, and cream cheese - yum!) My friend let me sample her strawberry, banana, Nutella crepe, which was also really good. The two people working there were warm and friendly, and managed the large order for our group of six with no problem. What a great little hidden gem! read more

This place is located inside the mall across from the Apple Store. There are some small tables and chairs and seating areas in the mall to eat but it's not a food court so it feels a lot more relaxing. You can also take it outside to eat on the grassy area on a nice day. There aren't many other grab and picnic type foods in this area so it's perfect for that. The price point is also $9-10 each so it's one of the more affordable food items here. we went to the grand opening where they gave out free ones to try and it took a while but we tried sweet and savory. I liked that you can create your own. I am not huge on desserts so like that they have savory. Our favorite is the Malibu (Turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato). It's a good snack or light lunch. It's actually great for little kids because they can hold it and not have everything fall out. The sweet ones are delish too. It did take a while to get our order and we wondered if it would stay that way. Well we returned recently and there was an order in work ahead of us but no one else in line. We ordered and they said it would be about 10 minutes. That was perfect for us to browse a sale at Bath and Body works and return, but if you're hungry you may want to plan for a short wait. Good news is that it's all made fresh to order. My 1 year old picky eater enjoys the Malibu so I'll definitely be back. I also want to try the bubble waffle and Crepe cup! Because sometimes you don't want to sit down with a knife and fork! read more

Becker's Bakery

A Sweet & Thoughtful Gift Idea…read more I wasn't sure what to get my grandparents for their 73rd wedding anniversary. They've lived a lifetime of experiences, don't get out much these days, and don't need much -- so I wanted to give them something thoughtful rather than just another gift. My grandma used to bake quite a bit when she was younger (I think she even had a little side hustle with it!), and my grandparents both have a serious sweet tooth. Since they're Mexican, their usual go-to is pan dulce. They also don't really make it out to the South Bay, so I thought this would be a fun opportunity to introduce them to something new. I decided to try Becker's Bakery and ordered custom photo cookies. The ordering process was easy and straightforward, and the staff were friendly and helpful when I had questions over email. When I arrived for pickup, my order was ready right on time. The real test, though, was giving them to my grandparents in Pico Rivera. They were so surprised by the photo-cookie idea! The picture came out sharp and clear, and they genuinely loved the cookies themselves. The taste was just as impressive as the presentation. Honestly, my favorite part was seeing their reaction -- first being amazed that their photo was actually printed onto a cookie, and then being pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted. I'm already looking forward to introducing them to more pastries from Becker's, and I think I may have accidentally created a new tradition for myself: custom photo cookies as a unique, thoughtful gift idea. A really sweet experience all around -- literally and figuratively!

I placed an online order for next-day pickup for my daughter's birthday since we were coming into…read morethe area for a few days to celebrate. After seeing the bakery had such great reviews, I was really looking forward to our experience. Unfortunately, the service left a bit to be desired and I felt more like I was in the way than welcomed as a customer. I completely understand that it was a very busy weekend, but even a simple "hello" or "welcome" can go a long way in making customers feel acknowledged. The chocolate cake was also disappointing. It looked beautiful, but unfortunately, the taste just wasn't there, and most of the cake was hardly touched. The one bright spot was the custom sugar cookies they were delicious! We only ordered a small amount, but after trying them, we quickly realized they would have been the better choice. Overall, I appreciated the presentation and the cookies were definitely a highlight, but unfortunately, the service and cake didn't meet my expectations.

Nice, but not super nice. I felt like we were a chore. The whole reason for my review is the bussing staff...THEY. WERE. INCREDIBLE! Each and every one of them were personable, had the biggest smiles, and were genuinely caring people. They joked with us and made the whole experience worth it. The food was delicious. The ambiance is a bit too uppity for me. Great place to grab a drink...the bar is lovely and the servers were great. Back to Jason and "the table".

From the moment I stepped into French Touch, I was captivated by its warm and inviting atmosphere. The owner, Nate, has truly poured his heart into this space, creating not just a restaurant but an experience. His attention to detail in the design is breathtaking, blending elegance with a cozy, Parisian charm that instantly makes you feel at home. Beyond the ambiance, the craftsmanship of the crepes is something I've never experienced before. The texture is delicate yet rich, with a signature taste that sets it apart from any other crepe I've had. Each bite was a perfect balance of flavor and artistry, whether sweet or savory. The savory crepe I tried was incredibly satisfying, filling me up while still feeling light and fresh. But what truly made this visit special was Nate himself. His kindness and passion for his craft shine through in every interaction. He treats every guest like family, ensuring that each experience is nothing short of exceptional. I can't wait to come back and indulge in more of these incredible crepes! Thank you, Nate, for creating such a beautiful space and sharing your passion with all of us. French Touch is truly a hidden gem in Manhattan! read more

By the time our order arrived, the crowd had cleared, and we were able to relax and enjoy everything at a slower pace. I had a cortado along with a warm, toasty ham and cheese croissant. My husband ordered the wagyu brioche and couldn't stop reacting with "oohs" and "ahhs." One thing to note that the brioche is toasted, but the sliced beef is served cold. That didn't bother him at all since the meat was incredibly tender. The dressing that came with the side salad also had some heat! As for me, I loved the Cendrillon Doré pancake. It was light, fluffy, and topped with mandarin oranges. It reminded me of pancakes I once had in Amsterdam, but even better. We also had the chance to chat with the owner, Mary, who was so kind and welcoming. She shared a bit about her Moroccan background and her time in France, where she learned many of her recipes. Next time, we'll definitely come earlier since the avocado toast was already sold out. And our pup loved that it's a pet-friendly spot too!

In addition, the food was very bland and dry, far below the quality we had come to expect from this location. Because we have been loyal customers over the years, this experience was especially disappointing. I am currently waiting to hear back from the owner, as I hope these concerns will be addressed. At this point, we are uncertain whether we will return to this location.

Whether I'm grabbing breakfast, lunch, or a smoothie, I always leave feeling energized instead of weighed down. The service is just as impressive as the food. Every member of the team is welcoming, friendly, and genuinely seems to enjoy what they do. They remember regulars, make you feel appreciated, and create an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Finding a restaurant that's both genuinely healthy and consistently delicious isn't easy, but Love Life Cafe has absolutely nailed it. If your goal is to eat clean without compromising on flavor, I can't recommend this place highly enough.
