Wow I did not expect layers of strawberries in my crepe. I loved it so much. I love desserts that aren't too sweet and this was perfect! I also love crunchy textures so the corn flakes were a wonderful balance. The service was honestly very fast. It's a small shop and there's only one table so if you're a big group, you might have to take your crepe elsewhere. You order using a kiosk and there's only one so I'm not sure how it gets on a busy day. Came right when they opened and we were 3rd in line. read more

Definitely not authentic. Crepe itself was like tortillas no flavor no texture to it it just holds things in. Whipped cream is on heavy side after few bites you just get ugh this is getting too much! When you go in, you can see the staff with NO SMILE NO GREETING NO WELCOMING It's a tad cold atmosphere. After this first time I'm not going back I was a tad bit disappointed read more

It was my first time here, I heard about Wakaba through their IG. We went here on Mother's Day for the Strawberry Bouquet crepe. What I liked about the crepe was that it wasn't too sweet and they used real strawberries. The presentation was beautiful. You order at a kiosk and then wait for your order. There's limited space inside, so most people get their order to go. read more

Once you walk in, it's pretty stark inside. Clean, white, and minimalist, with a handful of small pictures handing on the wall, and a tree in the corner. There's only one tall, wooden stool table inside for two up against the left wall, along with a wooden bench by the front window that seats two comfortably. Cold bottled drinks in the refrigerated clear counter. On the right hand side is where you order and pay at the kiosk. Quick and simple. I like that a lot. You input your name and cell phone number. They text and call your name when your order is ready. There wasn't anyone else in the shop, aside from the three staff members behind the counter. Their work area is larger than in front of the counter. When my order was ready, one of the gals behind the counter called out my name and handed me my order. She kindly asked if I wanted a top to my small cup of vanilla ice cream. I declined, since I decided to dine in. I ordered the crème brûlée matcha crepe ($11.95) with vanilla ice cream ($2.00) on the side. I can't really say it's for me. It's a hand held matcha crepe wrapped around whipped crème and some corn flakes that added a bit of crunch. The top had a little burnt sugar. That was my favorite part. It's wasn't sweet, so it's not really what I would call a dessert. The scoop of ice cream was good though. Staff are quiet, but friendly. They greeted me as I came through the door and handed me my order with a smile. There's plenty of free shared Nijiya Market parking. read more

Cute little place with a lot of options! Very friendly staff as well. My husband and i love gluten free crepes and i got the matcha brulee - the cornflakes were a great texture addition! My husband got the triple mix and he enjoyed it but he did say it was a bit flavorless. Even though mine tasted like matcha and was great, i could see what he meant. Mine probably needed a fruit in it too but you cant make too many changes (which i totally understand). I do want to go back and try yuzu cream cheese one. If youre in the area, make sure to stop by! read more

Went here for the first time. Was pretty good, I was a little confused because when you order it does not say what exactly is in each crepe (so please add that if you are able!), I ended up ordering the strawberry whipped cream crepe and the ice cream with strawberry crepe. They were pretty good, the crepes were thin and if had a lot of filling. I was looking for something closer to me that is like Millet Crepe (in Sawtelle). They are pretty comparable, but I do like the texture of the crepes better at Millet. Overall, our crepes came out quickly and the place is small but clean. I would go again to try the matcha creme brulee crepe read more

The good: I got the Dubai crepe and Yuzu cream cheese crepe. It was around $25 for two crepes. The crepes were so light and airy. We thought they'd feel heavy and that we'd be super full after them so we intended to eat it for our lunch but they were so light and airy (so we ended up eating more next door at the grocery store after). We loved that the crepes had various textural elements. The Dubai one had crunchy chocolate cereal (cocoa puffs). The yuzu one had a yuzu jelly on top and some chunks of mandarin inside. The bad: If we waited 15 minutes we would have qualified for the $1 discount at 12PM for the crepes (excludes the Dubai one) but we didn't know until after we ordered. There's no outdoor seating but the plaza had some benches around so we sat on those to eat outside. Inside, there's a small high table for 2 people. I wish there was more space inside to enjoy the crepe. The interesting: They have a self-ordering tablet inside. It made ordering very easy and contactless. read more

Wakaba Crepe - Creperies Near Me - Torrance, California

Cute cozy little crepe shop right next to red rock! For the price and the stuff you get it's a little underwhelming--borderline worth, but not over the top worth. It's a good and refreshing snack to get to satisfy a sweet crepe craving. I'll come back to get a different crepe since the matcha brulee didn't strike a wow but more so an mhm ok thats good. Not a disappointing treat to eat, but for $22 for two with the lunch discount and I only have these two crepes in my hand, I'm a little itty bitty sad. Original rating would be a 3.5 but my husband and I don't mind rounding to a 4 star because it was not bad, just not wow. read more

Wakaba Crepe - 2x Matcha brulee - Creperies Near Me - Torrance, California

Wakaba Japanese Crepe just opened up in my neighborhood. Took my family there. We got the mango coconut crepe and the strawberry matcha creme crepe. While the crepes were tasty - particularly the strawberry matcha one, it was pretty pricey. I know it is hard for small businesses right now, but it was hard to justify $25 for two crepes, no matter how beautiful they were. There is one table with seating inside, very cute, and one bench. We ate ours (party of three) outside. read more

Was recommended this spot by a coworker. It sure did not disappoint. This establishment specializes in crepes. Both savory and sweet crepes are offered here. Cozy little shop that is great for a quick snack or a aftermeal dessert. Opted for a custom crepe that was composed of a matcha crepe, sliced strawberries, vanilla ice cream, and a matcha syrup drizzle. The ingredients all meshed together perfectly. Recommend to anyone shopping or dining around the Torrance area. read more

Wakaba Crepe - Strawberry Matcha Crepe with Vanilla Ice Cream - Creperies Near Me - Torrance, California

Overpriced but pretty good. The closest thing you'll get to Japan's crepes. But far from the price. Definitely an occasional treat. The proportions are also a hit or miss. I feel like I've gotten more than the other times, and the wrap up not as neat as other times as well. Seems at times it falls apart and can be messy to eat. Service was good, quick and they seem kind. The store is super small though. Definitely something you can just buy and take out to eat. Definitely do recommend this place but just know that it is pretty pricey! read more

New Japanese style crepe in the Plaza where Nijiya is at. Excited as there isnt many Japanese style crepes around. The shop is small with one table and a bench but super clean and modern. They have a menu with their popular crepes displayed over the register so its easier to make a decision. On their tablet they their full menu listed flavors. I came on Friday early afternoon, wasn't busy. I got the matcha creme brulee, my parents got the strawberry ice cream crepe. It was pretty good! The matcha wasn't too sweet however cream kinda melted quicker then I anticipated but it was delicious nonetheless. Never had matcha creme brulee before. I will be going back as I am super interested in their Yuzu Cream cheese crepe. Definitely reccommend to try it and you could easily share one with someone else :) read more

Japanese crepes are the best! Bright lit spot, great location next to Nijiya and Red Rock. Easy to order on the kiosk. Let them know ahead of time before submitting if you have any dietary restrictions! Def recc for a sweet treat to stop by after your errands!! I brought a few friends to try it out. Minimal seating, more of quick grab and go. Open kitchen. I would prefer if they wore masks in the kitchen for hygienic purposes since they do need to communicate. I got the mango coconut (shaving) crepe. Maybe I'm a slow eater, but it started leaking at the end and was a little too sweet then. The mango and whipped cream are perfect! The skin is not as bouncy as KC's (near LAX) and has a smaller menu, which means easier to decide! Parking: free! large lot read more

Wakaba Crepe replaced the Scoops Ice Cream place in the Nikita Plaza in North Torrance. They offer gluten-free crepes that remind you of the ones you can get in Japan. They are not very sweet (a compliment) and definitely aesthetically pleasing. The staff are super nice and when you walk in, it's like you're transported into a Japanese French creperie. The place is very clean, so that's a bonus. The menu is small, which means they do what they do well. Support local mom and pop shops! read more

After changing from scoops ice cream we wanted to try out this new dessert spot ! Inside is small and there is limited interaction with staff members since there is a kiosk available. Parking isn't really an issue as well! Ended up getting 2 different crepes - 1. Strawberry matcha - from their signature collection. Very good but the matcha flavor is very light. 2. Strawberry banana crepe - I liked it but very basic, just your average strawberry and banana crepe. Things to keep in mind - the crepe and cream inside are not that sweet, so if that's what you're expecting, probably be a bit disappointed. I honestly didn't mind it because I enjoyed the sweetness from the fruits. Also I really appreciated that the crepe was filled with toppings from top to bottom instead of just stacking everything on top! Would go back to try the other flavors for sure ! read more

Shop was quiet and clean. Took awhile to order since thre was only one order screen. The crepes didn't take very long but the employee rolled the crepe and was trying to add the ice cream and toppings into the cone one by one. When I've seem them make it in Japan, they would put everything onto the crepe and then roll into a cone shape which seems easier/faster. 1. Strawberry matcha: matcha crepe with cream, strawberry and strawberry syrup. There was no ice cream which is fine but there wasn't any matcha flavor. Did taste good with the strawberry. 2. Triple mix: Bananas, strawberry with vanilla ice cream and chocolate syrup. Good too. Might have been an off day but the crepes were kinda messy/hard to eat. They kept slumping over when it wasn't supported by the paper wrapping. I think the crepes were to soft? Overall 3.75. read more

This is my ideal dessert spot!!! The mango coconut crepe was the perfect "not too sweet" dessert that perfectly satisfied my sweet tooth. The fruit was fresh and the whipped creme was very light! The crepe was thin yet was both soft and slightly crispy. Ordering was very straightforward via touch screen which had pictures of different items. Plenty of sweet options to choose from and a handful of savory. Service was very welcoming and friendly. Minimal indoor seating but well worth ordering and enjoying in my car or on a nearby bench in the plaza. I will be back very soon! read more

Nice for a special Friday night dessert, quite a few others had the same idea! Order at the screen toward the right of where you enter. They make your order fresh on the one professional griddle, and you can smell the delicate aroma of others' orders as you wait. The strawberry matcha cream was not too rich and not too sweet, just the way I like it. It was $10.95 plus tax. Glad to have this new option in the area. read more

Greeted warmly but to order you use the kiosk. Cute place but only one table for 2 and a bench for those waiting for orders. Very tasty crepes! Would return to try more flavors read more

The day we went apparently there was some influencer event and they were really backed up. We waited about 50min to get our order. They were sold out of quite a few so we got the mango coconut. Very good, and I love supporting small local shops, but I would say they're a bit overpriced. We paid $12+ for ours and I think ours was a slightly cheaper one. So for me, where I am a baker myself, I don't know that I would go back again for that price. But! The place is really clean and nice, I'd imagine in a normal day the wait isn't nearly as long as we waited, and if so, you could easily kill time around the area shopping or whatever else. The owner seems to be Japanese, which I love since I'm also Japanese, and he was VERY nice, so I was happy to try them out that day! I'd bring friends if they're coming to visit for sure. read more

Mmm mmm mMMM deeeelicious crepes! Conveniently located in the same plaza as Nijiya Market, Red Rock, and dog groomers. Saw a crepe sign as I pulled into the lot and i'm sooo happy I saw it! From the parking lot, the shop does look like it's closed, so I had to double check the hours on yelp and I was so happy to see it was open! Very clean and small shop with a cashier and a self order tablet. 1 hightop bar and one small bench. Menu seems simple, but all the signature crepes sound intriguing and delightful. Like the DUBAI MATCHA crepe??? Sounds awesome for Dubai Chocolate lovers! I ended up getting the Matcha Brûlée. I usually get crème brulee crepes, but since they don't offer them here, I went with matcha! It was so delicious especially with the crunchies inside i thoroughly enjoyed it. But i wouldn't be mad if they added the traditional crème brulee option Definitely stopping by every time I visit the market!!! read more

I came to check this place out. Food: the whipped cream was a bit thick. By 5 bites it was already kind of hard to finish. I went with strawberry and there wasn't really a big wow factor. Maybe go for their signature crepes instead. I like that they make it on the spot and I thought the gluten free crepe batter was good. Service: Service was pretty limited, and there wasn't much interaction. It felt a bit unfriendly, which took away from the overall experience. Comment: just curious on why they felt the need to sell drinks that are literally offered at nijiya right next to it. Maybe they can sell specialized beverages instead. Overall: For $20 crepes, I expected a bit more in terms of service and quality. It'd also be cool if the open kitchen setup made it easier to see how they're making everything (I'm a bit short haha). Compared to places like Millet Crepe or crepes I've had in Japan, these didn't really stand out to me. But I'm glad Torrance has a crepe place now, and since they just opened, I hope it gets even better :)) read more

Second day of opening and this place is delicious! A very nice addition to the Nijiya plaza. My family (myself, hubs and daughter) heard about a new dessert place opening up, just didn't realize they literally opened yesterday; The owner and two employees inside were very nice. Employees were wearing a cute yellow beret and we could see them making crepes right in front of us. Simply order from their curated options or make your own. It's really nice that the crepes are gluten free also. Ordered up a banana crepe with chocolate syrup and whipped cream to try. The crepe was nice and thin, slightly sweet, and the filling was just right. Some filling through out the crepe and mostly on top. So cute to hold and eat. The restaurant itself has limited seating though. One bench and then one small high table with two tall chairs. The owner is considering whether or not to extend hours until 8. Which would be nice since so many dessert places in Torrance don't open later. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Delish crepes! Got the matcha strawberry and strawberry ice cream crepe! I really enjoyed how soft the crepes were and whip cream was so good! Only note on the matcha crepe was that the matcha flavor felt low quality and didn't have a great flavor but really loved the crepe texture and plain one overall. I think if the matcha powder was swapped out this place would be 5/5! I really loved the strawberry crepe! read more

Wakaba Crepe - Matcha strawberry crepe and strawberry ice cream crepe - Creperies Near Me - Torrance, California

I really wanted to like this place. Came here 5/1/26. Two crepes for $21. Barely any filling. Whip cream and canned tangerines. About 15% filling and all crepe. Other one was a few slices of banana, whip cream and chocolate syrup. Not worth it. We had to throw one away bc the taste was not there. Crepe was super soggy and lacked depth. Couldn't customize crepes much. Limited options, or repetitive. read more

Interesting crepe place next to red rock steak bowls which is next to nijiya market on 182nd st and van ness blvd. Im trying a strawberry deluxe which was around 10.95. They have an order screen as you walk in on the right and their signature crepes up on the menu but they have regular crepes and savory crepes as well. Will need to try one of the savory ones next time. The strawberry deluxe has fresh cut strawberries in a delicately not overly sweet cream cheese like filling and one side had some azuki bean and they melded fine which was great giving the slightly tart strawberries that hint of sweetness. As with most japanese style desserts, the sweetness was perfect and can eat the whole thing without feeling like you ate a ton of sugar, although it might have a lot of sugar lol. No but it's great and a great addition to the neighborhood. I will be back to try read more

Wakaba Crepe - Creperies Near Me - Torrance, California

I was so excited when I saw a new Japanese crepe spot opening at the Nijiya plaza. Obviously, I had to stop by during opening weekend. It has that Japanese French creperie vibe, but more casual. I tried one of their signature crepes and it did not disappoint. It wasn't overly sweet and you could actually taste the matcha, which I appreciate. The caramelized sugar top was such a fun touch. Breaking into it felt a little dramatic in the best way. Opening weekend wasn't super crowded, but there was a steady stream of people so orders took a bit longer. Honestly, I didn't mind. You could tell they were paying attention to the details and really taking their time with each crepe. I went back again today (two months later) and the place is still spotless. They've added more variety to the menu since opening, including more signature, seasonal, and classic crepes, plus some savory options. I let my son pick this time and he chose the Mixed Ice Cream Crepe with bananas and strawberries, drizzled with chocolate and topped with ice cream. We added the cornflake add-on for extra crunch. It was still not overly sweet, which I love. The only thing to note is that with ice cream inside, the bottom can get a little soggy if you don't eat it right away. The staff are super nice, and when you walk in it really does feel like you're transported into a little Japanese French creperie. It's very clean and cozy, and the windows give it great natural lighting. Seating is extremely limited, basically a small bistro table for two and a bench, so it's not ideal for a group looking to hang out and chat over dessert. The way it's served makes it more of a grab and go situation. Prices range from about $9.50 to $12, and the crepes are big enough to share between two people. Definitely support this local mom and pop shop. read more
