Stop by with my wife at Olala Crepe for a quick fix for her sweet cravings. She ordered the A LA FOLIE CREPE. It's a NUTELLA, STRAWBERRY and BANANA CREPE and we shared it. As usual, it tasted good and not overly sweet. There was a great amount of Strawberry in it, but the Banana wasn't quite ripe, so the banana part was a bit unpleasant. The lady who made the crepe was nice and quick prepping the Crepe. Sitting inside has only a few tables, but they have a good amount of outdoor seating. Parking was easy to find when we came on a weekday.
Great little breakfast place in Gaslamp. I got the banana and peanut butter crepe. It was delicious and filling. There are plenty of other breakfast offerings. The service was reasonable and the place is within the other restaurants and cafes in the district.
Perfect quick stop for gelato, they have a variety of unique flavors like smores, oreo, peanut butter and mint, along with some traditional flavors and sorbet fruit flavors. Small spot more of an order and take out. Clean, good service and fast.
Favorite place to get sweet crepes as desert after dinner! Always lovely staff, busy always as it's inside the food court at liberty station but always quick service. I have gone here for years and the crepe dough is one of the best I've had. Don't really get the savory crepes as the crepe itself isn't freshly made as the sweet ones.
The banana cream pie latte is out of this world good. My good I could have 10 of these. The crepes are fantastic and the staff super helpful and friendly. The place was packed and they still got thing out quickly. Really loves this place and I will be back.
Stopped in for breakfast. Immediately upon entering the store, it was very warm. I ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich and then decided to sit outside. There was loads of bacon on the sandwich and the staff were friendly and patient as I decided what to order. Thankfully the outside tables were available so I enjoyed my sandwich outside then went for a walk and came back and got a match latte with a shot of espresso. The ladies were very confused with the drink order but made it as requested and it was delicious. The ambiance in the store is open and welcoming though, I hope the warmth in the store was just that day otherwise it may keep people out.
I have yet to order their gelato and I plan to one day, but the items i have ordered are always YUM! Lately, it's their Blended Cafe Mocha. I'm a sweet bias, so it fits me perfectly. Coffee not too strong on this drink, which is fine with me. I had their salmon crepe before and it's lovely. The setup outside is small, but cute and a great place to sit during the days where our weather is great, which is very often. I think if I'm going to grow about one thing, it's that's they don't have AC, so it can be kinda stuffy inside when it's warm, but there are only a few seats inside anyways. The service is great. I had my dog with me and was talking to him, telling him I don't have a pup cup for him. The server overheard me and got my furbaby a pup cup anyway, which was sweet, because I didn't know they have those out.
This review is just for the pizza alone as that is all that we have. I'm going to say it's a salad no for me and enough to make me not go back and try anything else. We stopped here during Comic Con as there wasn't much else that had space. The pizza was over $15 for a pepperoni, and it was some of the blandest undercooked Pizza I have ever had. They added nothing to it to give it any type of flavor it seems, and the sauce was pretty much non-existent. We stomached what we could just because we were hungry, and left the rest for the trash.
Got a Pas Du Tout (peanut butter and banana) sweet crepe with scoop of dulce. My daughter got a blue magic. Bother were great and hit the spot. Service was good and ambience was cute.
Ordered the espresso. Tasted amazing like a double espresso with cream. All scoops come in cups with small spoons. The cashier said they make their own gelato. Its really good!
Looking for an affordable and quick place to grab a bite, look no further. The Nutella and banana crepe was delicious. It really hit the spot and had plenty of Nutella and bananas in the crepe. We also ordered an Açaí bowl with berries, granola and honey, it was DELICIOUS! We split the larger for only a few extra bucks over the 16oz, and it was big enough to have spilt three ways. The service was fine, the lady who took our order was nice and helpful. I can see why others say about friendliness, the workers won't go out of their way to say hi, but the service was fine. The store was kinda small, so we ate outside. On a beautiful San Diego day, it was an excellent way to grab a quick bite and enjoy the scenery.
This is my favorite gelato shop! I've been back 3x so far since trying it. The service is always fast and friendly. It looks like a cute little moms and pops shop. Small and intimate. I've tried the Rocky road 10/10 Mixed berry 10/10 Double chocolate 11/10 Mango 10/10 Lemon 10/10 The gelato just melts in your mouth and they give you a really good portion!
This place has it all... ice cream, milkshake, cookies and more. It's a good thing they do because if they sell just the cookies alone, they would not make it. Service was OK. My teens got the birthday cake cookie and the cookies and cream cookie. Three cookies were hard as a rock. Perhaps that's not their signature items. The cookies seem to be sitting out for awhile. My teens didn't even finish their cookie and it was not cheap! Stay away from the cookies.

stopped in for coffee and breakfast. Love the deco and as you walk in the Gelato Case is right there to see all the wonderful flavors. Crepes on the menu but did try a Banana Latte which was very creamy and good not overly sweet also a breakfast bagel sando cooked just right and watching the staff making crepes. inside had couple of tables to sit and enjoy your order. They do open late is a wonderful thing specially when you want a coffee late at night or a sweet treat. They are located in the Gaslamp area so it may be busy. Patio out front with chairs and tables I highly recommend read more

My husband and I were in SD today and after having some food, we walked by this place and it looked super cute, saw they had gelato and my sweet husband cannot say no to a gelato! When we walked in, we noticed the decor they had was the same we had at our wedding (cute white trees) so we were extra excited to try this place... however while we were waiting to order, there was a another customer in front of us asking about the açaí bowl, and the girl behind the counter answered in a not very happy tone, and she walked out so we thought she was coming back or that her order was being made. However, my husband and I were on the side where the gelato is waiting to be acknowledged. Okay cool, it's our first time there and we were just waiting by the gelato to sorry I went counter and the girl was just at the register saying nothing... yes, we missed the order here sign but she didn't even bother to greet us or say anything for about 5 minutes, until she goes I can help you here. Cool, I go up to her, apologize, and her attitude was insane... idk what it was, I ordered my gelato and my husband ordered his, she then mumbled something, and my husband didn't understand her and she made a face... I almost said you know what never mind and we should've left but it was a super hot day, my husband loves gelato and it looked good. We ended up throwing it away bc it wasn't even worth it because of how upset the customer service was. So to the girl that works here, if you hate this place so much quit and if you own this place or are related to someone who does, please do them a favor by never working here because this place is cute and we would've enjoyed it if it wasn't for your miserable customer service. I know this review isn't going to do anything but I hope people don't let themselves be treated the way we were because it sucks. read more

Stopped by here after seeing that the line for Slurp was wayyyy too long. The display of various cookies caught my eye and I was drawn in to the confetti cookie. I thought it tasted pretty standard- chewy on the inside and not too crispy on the outside. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth for the time being!! read more

Stopped in for a quick cappuccino & Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel! Food was great and the cap was enjoyable as I walked around! Staff was super friendly & kind! I enjoyed the atmosphere as they got their morning rush and I had my brunch in the eclectic cafe! read more
Cute little shop nestled in downtown San Diego. They offer an array of different sweet and savory crepes, gelato, smoothies, specialty drinks and more! Truly a place everyone can find something to satisfy a craving. Service was quick and attentive. The store offers some indoor and outdoor seating. Plus prices were reasonable. I will definitely be back to try new things whenever I'm in town. read more

Mid nothing special. Flavor and texture was not there compare to other places I've gotten macaroons from. Nice and clean place very well kept. Fast and easy good service and good info. read more
This crepe spot will satisfy your sweet craving at night, but I don't know if we would return to grab a sweet crepe during the day. We were walking around Downtown and stumbled across this shop. We thought it was closed just by looking at its hours via Yelp and in the front, but they were still open. Their hours are not up to date or maybe they were open late because of comic-con. We ordered a classic crepe and substituted Nutella for condensed milk; strawberries and bananas were added to it, too. I'm not a huge Nutella guy, and some of the menu items had condensed milk instead of Nutella, so it still made sense. We waited a bit, and the lady making our crepe did not seem like she wanted to work. The crepe was a bit chewy but good! I enjoyed the seating outside, and the owner's little son took our plate and asked how the food was. read more

Olala Crepes was a nice surprise! Initially came in here wanting to try their crepes but ended up just trying their acai bowl. They offer two sizes for their acai bowls, which we had gotten the smaller size. It was a good size if you're looking for a good snack that's not too sweet. The acai mix itself was lovely; I loved that every bite you can expect to have some granola. The acai is a bit on the liquidy side and not as frozen as I am used to, but nevertheless still good. The staff was all super kind and sweet. Would come back again! read more
Returning to comic con, i always find myself stopping by here at least once for a treat on the way back to whatever telly we are at. This time around i opted to not do the crepes (was a bit sweet for me though i know they say it's more on the healthy side) We got the acai bowl and it was enjoyable, felt fresh and the toppings were yummy. Has a lot of granola in it which i welcomed for the change of pace in texture. Thanks again olala will be back next time. read more

The vibe is super comfortable and very inviting, the kind of place you actually want to sit and hang out for a bit. I tried the caramel macchiato and can honestly say it was one of the best coffees I've had in the San Diego area. Smooth, not too sweet, just perfect. For dessert, I had the Nutella crêpe with bananas and strawberries and it was amazing. Light, fresh, and not overly heavy. I was also surprised they had savory options, so I tried the chicken pesto crêpe and it was just as good. Really flavorful but still light, which I loved. They also had gelato that looked insanely good with some rare flavors like Dubai chocolate. I didn't get a chance to try it this time, but I'll definitely be coming back for the ice cream and to try more items. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Overall: small shop with okay sweets, rude and inflexible service, nothing special about the ambiance, and no bathrooms Stopped in for an acaii bowl and gelato. Both were super sweet. The lady who took our order seemed very angry to be at work. They don't offer samples even after you have paid for your order and you can only get one flavor if you order a small. There was some outdoor seating. read more
While browsing the street vendor offerings just outside, the smell of delicious crepes drew us in...that and the sign for a bagel and cream cheese with a cup of drip coffee. Sign us up! Inside, I could not get enough of the beautiful cherry blossom tree décor. That small touch really changes the entire ambience of the place. And the lights that shine on them bring a whole new level to the look. I really like it! They serve fresh crepes as well as gelato. My wife's bagel had a very generous amount of cream cheese-she ended up scraping about a third of it off, which was a little wasteful but there is too much of a good thing, I'm told. Since we were here early in the day, we weren't up to trying gelato, but it all looked good-maybe on another day we'll stop by and try it out. read more

This place is hit or miss depending on what you are ordering. Can't go wrong with dessert! My sweet tooth gets the best of me and can't go wrong with theirs. They have good crepes, macarons and they have ice cream. Today was my first time ordering a panini from them. I was unimpressed. It lacked flavor and barely felt grilled. Stick to the dessert and skip the paninis. read more

My daughter chose to have crepes for dinner. Although there are a few places to choose from in the Gaslamp quarter, my daughter was drawn to the brightly lit, cute little shop and appealing menu items. My daughter ordered the Un Peu (salted caramel, sliced almond) crepe with whipped cream, while I chose the Je Suis President (bacon, brie, mozzarella, spinach, tomatoes) crepe. Both were beautifully presented, generously filled and delicious. It was my first time having a crepe made with buckwheat flour -- it was a perfect complement to the savory fillings. After eating, we realized that my daughter's crepe didn't have the added whipped cream. When we went back in for dessert, we mentioned it to the girl who helped us. She was apologetic and offered my daughter a cookie which she declined since we had already bought gelato. It was a small $1 upcharge, so it wasn't a big deal. Nice little place situated at the center of Fifth street with seating inside and outside. Good service, delicious food. read more
I got the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe. You can see them make it behind the counter and it comes out nice and hot. This was a good dessert and hit the spot when I was looking for something sweet to eat at night. read more

Excellent peanut butter and banana crepe with a little added Nutella. Strawberry gelato was a perfect mix. My friend loved his pistachio gelato. A little bit overpriced, but not too bad. Service was fast and friendly. Nice curbside table on a street closed to vehicle traffic. read more
This review is for their satellite location in Little Italy. Quality/Quantity - Beignet Trio, picture perfect. Too bad it did not taste as good as it looked. Tasted like it sat in the display case a long, long time. Also, the filling was not proportional to the dough. Atmosphere - Satellite location, very small. But a prime location, the first business you see when you walk into the food court. Need a code for the bathrooms in the back. Service - Good service, I was able to swap out one of our chocolate trio for a strawberry one. Price - $9; expensive for what we got, even for a tourist area... Owner Comment - Congrats on your success and 4 locations. I look forward to trying one of your other locations to order a fresh crepe. I am sure that will be a more positive experience. read more
