Angels & Hearts: Harajuku Crêperie

Favorite crêpe place in San Diego! It’s delicious. The crêpe batter they use is what makes it really good.

Half the time they get the orders mixed up on what u actually want as a fruit or a ice cream or topping. Wish they sold ice cream separately to attend to picky kids but whatever. Still a good place to go for dessert after you’ve eaten at one of the many restaurants around here. Beware of parking. It’s always a b! tch

Delicious! For under $ 5 you can get a delicious, hot crêpe filled with ice cream and syrup among other goodies in less than 5 minutes. America is beautiful is it not?! The crêpe was soft, hot, and large. It stuck together and had just the perfect amount of «chewiness» to it in my opinion. I will definitely come back.

I wish I wasn’t full when I came here… You’re going to need all that tummy space for the amount they give you.
We came here after tofu house since its in the same crazy Asian plaza where parking is ridiculous. We didn’t want to leave just yet since we found great parking.
It’s connected to rakiraki ramen. Don’t expect good or fast service. We ordered the shaved ice with fruit and other toppings… It’s quite pricey but very good. Our shaved ice didn’t come out til like 15 minutes later! Maybe they were shaving the ice with a disposable razor piece by piece? Anyway, it was really good. We loved the soy whip cream. It’s a good idea since most Asians are lactose intolerant. Good thinking!
We’ll come back and try the crêpe too!

The employees were nice so two stars go to them but the crepes were not good at all, the whip cream really tasted to thick and the strawberries were not sweet. I think they should look into how crepes are suppose to taste so maybe they can improve their taste.

I had the strawberry with condensed milk and whip crêpe. I really enjoyed it. I wish I would have got ice cream inside but I thought it would be to sweet. Next time!
The place is super small and loud so this is a place were you just order and take your crêpe to go.

This review is strictly for their crepes.
After getting ramen next door, my friend and I decided to give this place a try. It was a Thursday night, and there was a decent crowd waiting for their crepes as well as waiting to order. There was only one worker making the crepes and handling the cash register. The poor girl looked exhausted, but she worked as fast as she could, and I could tell she was trying to make quality crepes. Eventually another cashier came and assisted her (where was he earlier though?).
The crêpe with whipped cream and the little wafer cookie they add is $ 3.95 then you pay for each additional topping. With the crêpe, ice cream, Nutella and strawberries, my crêpe came out to a little over $ 8. Looking at the crepes at first, which are wrapped and served as a crêpe cone rather than served on a plate, I didn’t know if it was worth it. However, don’t let the appearance fool you. They really stuff the crêpe to give you your money’s worth! The crêpe itself was thick and soft and extremely tasty. Overall, their crepes are good, but they’re not the best you’ll ever have. As for the location, it’s connected to a ramen restaurant and in a plaza full of other restaurants. Parking can be tight, but hey, it’s Convoy so what else can you expect? Luckily there is indoor and outdoor seating. Their service could definitely be a little more efficient.

Located in the Convoy District next to RakiRaki (ramen noodle) Restaurant. By far one of the best crepes ever! Nutella, bananas, strawberries, whipped cream topped with a chocolate wafer. It’s heaven!

This place is easy to miss because it is really actually part of the ramen joint next door. The wait is ok if there is not a lot of people before you. They only have one person making and taking the orders for the crêpe. I love the green tea mochi.

Crêpe was too hard and crunchy at the bottom like a fortune cookie. Not so great customer service. The girl overloaded the popping boba and the condense milk. She watched the condense milk drip all over my boyfriends hand and say the boba sliding down like an avalanche!!! She didn’t even care she just walked away.
The shaved snow toppings are so limited. Like basically none it’s already picked for you.
The shaved snow is very rough in the mouth it’s suppose to be smooth LIKE SNOW.
The only reason I’d come back is because of how strong the flavor of the green tea snow is. But other than that. Never. I can find a better place to but shaved snow and crepes

Hm. The shaved ice is not your typical American shaved ice. Not sure how I feel about it. It has an initial icy texture but then it melts and turns into an interesting sticky ice cream consistency. Decent flavor and I like the whipped cream and popping boba but still… Strange. Maybe an acquired texture.

Good quality crêpe. Although it can be a little pricey. I got mango, green tea ice cream, condensed milk, and green tea cheesecake, whipped cream and a cookie crêpe are included. I just thought it was ridiculous to charge $ 1.25 for 1 bite-​sized cheesecake. However, the GT cheesecake was pretty good. They really packed on the mango and they were big pieces too.
The crepes came out quickly. My Aunt and Mom don’t usually eat desserts, but they enjoyed their crepes and would go back for more.
Pretty cool how this place combined with Rakiraki, but it does get pretty loud.

Love love love this place! Always so good and ugh just everything is delicious I always get mint chip ice cream cheese cake with chocolate sauce so yummy and freshly made whipped cream is just amazing! Always a must when having dinner in the area

Love the crêpe and the special of crêpe + topping + cookie is really good for less than $ 5. Love the green tea ice cream and the green tea cheesecake.

Crepes was not bad. Try to be as basic as possible. Best way to order is just the ice cream cover in crêpe. All the fruits and the toppings cost extra. So beware. My crepes cost me about $ 6 – 7 Each. It will add up. Fruit was okay but doesn’t go well with the crêpe. Think of it terms of an ice cream BURRITO! What
Snow Ice or Shave Ice. Whatever you call it. I’d had order the green tea. It was pretty bad and tasteless.
So I’d had order 2 crepes and a shave ice.
Came out to around $ 18. Kind of pricey in my book.
Was not expecting more than $ 15.
Just get the ice cream and crêpe you shall be alright. :P

Price $$
Quality: 4.5 stars
Service: 4.5 stars
Value: 4 stars
Portions: average-​large
So far the best crepes in town. They definitely beat the french style crepes. The only drawback is that they have a limited array of flavors to choose from.
They come in a good size, big enough for two.
They are right next door to Rakiraki, so parking is a pain.

Snow ice is amazing. I’ve only had the green tea and appreciate the fact that it’s not too sweet. The toppings are delicious.

Angels & Hearts is home to cute, customizable crêpes. It’s walking distance from RakiRaki, making it the perfect Japanese dessert place after a dinner-​date. You can choose any toppings you want; including ice cream, nutella, mochi bites, and strawberry. The ingredients were fresh and it fulfilled a sweet tooth craving. The crêpier also hooked it up with choco-​waffle sticks because she liked us! However, the store itself is small and not cutely decorated. It seems to be a grab-​and-​go crêperie, but it would be 10x better if it was a cute shop. Still, I would visit again.

Two words, «Snow Angel»!
So what is it? Is it ice cream or shaved ice?
Well, it is not shaved ice for sure but not as thick as ice cream, it’s some sort of ice cream but not as thick. Whatever it is I am a fan. I normally get it with condensed milk and the red bean.
My go to flavor is taro but once in a while I do like to mix it up and get green tea or mango. It is not too sweet and it satisfy my craving for ice cream.
The line can be long since it is next a lot of eateries so park on the street.
All I can say is after having your meal any snow angel will cleanse your palate.

Omg these reviews are stupid. It’s frickin’ ice cream in a crêpe people!!! It’s messy, duh. Anyhoos, was always kinda like huh? About this place but after dumplings at Red Moon (super noms) we popped in to check it out.
Not only is it super cute, I was stoked on this treat. I had green tea ice cream strawberry sauce and whipped cream which is real whipped cream.
It’s yummy, messyAF, and fun.
If you aren’t fun or too prissy to get sticky don’t go here. Simple.
For me and my hubby it was a delicious treat and fun to sit outside and people watch at sunset.
We will return.

The last time I was here they were new (as was Raki Raki) and there was a crowd every time. Now it’s mostly empty (though it looks like Raki Raki is doing well). I can see why… The crêpe I got had vanilla ice cream, strawberries, mangoes, and condensed milk. They also included a cookie and whipped cream without a topping charge. Ended up rather pricey (around $ 7 I believe). Compared to the last time I had it, this time the crêpe seem smaller and was not crispy like it used to be. They also got rid of some toppings that I enjoyed (like the pudding). Ended up kind of messy and soggy at the end. On that note, I wished they stocked the front with things like napkins. Was a bit annoying to have to ask the staff to stop what they are doing to go run to the back to get napkins. Felt odd that they didn’t bring out more for other customers to grab.

I’ve never had a crêpe shaped like a cone before, but actually it’s convenient because you can just take it with you! I had the mango crêpe with green tea ice crème (soo yuuuum). There’s not much to say about this crêpe besides that it was absolutely delicious!

I ordered a crêpe with strawberries, bananas, and vanilla ice cream. Although it seems like a good idea to wrap it up like a cone, it’s not very easy to eat. It was very messy and ice cream was dripping everywhere. I really do not like the feeling of sticky melted ice cream fingers! It would be better off on a plate. Ended up grabbing a paper plate, unraveled the crêpe, and finished it with a fork and knife. Yes with melted ice cream still everywhere!
If your order is under $ 9 and you want to use a card they charge you 49 cents extra. This is connected to the restaurant next door. The creperie itself is a small area with about 3 tables inside.
I might come back here to try a snow ice but probably not another crêpe. Was not to impressed with their hand held crepes. It may be visually pleasing at first, but once that ice cream starts melting, the frustration will begin.

It’s cute looking because it’s shaped into a cone. So it’s like a crêpe to-​go.
Wasn’t that tasty for the price. I ended up just getting green tea ice cream, strawberries and Nutella. The dough seemed undercooked and it was sticking to the paper cone. They didn’t use fresh strawberries, seemed like canned strawberries because it was super soggy. They barely put any Nutella, couldn’t even taste it. Totaled up to 7 and some change.
Service was quick and easy, no smiles or thank you. Pretty much just get in and out.
Just go down the street to up2you café or café hue, a mile down the road is way worth it.

Some of the best crepes I’ve had so far. I love the way they make it as a cone with the added wafer cookie and the chocolate at the bottom of the crêpe cone. Although it’s a given that it’s a bit messy to eat, SO GOOD.
Because of Angels & Hearts, realized I like hand-​held crepes more than the normal ones served on plates. Highly recommend this place if you’re in San Diego with a sweet tooth.

Having been here several times over the course of the last few years, I’m amazed to realize I have yet to review it.
It’s pretty great. Basically, they take items that would usually be found in several different Asian-​style desserts – such as boba balls and shaved snow – and throw them in a crêpe. (They used to also have a flan-​like cream as a topping, but the menu during my latest visit indicated that they no longer do so.) While the individual components may not be the best example in San Diego, the collective result is a delicious ride on the fusion train straight to flavor town. I imagine this is closer to an authentic Harajuku experience than Gwen Stefani ever got.
Summary: These angels have captured my heart.

This is my 2^nd time here. My first time was 3 years ago, and it was delicious as I remembered: the crêpe was crispy.
This time, the crêpe was completely soft. I was disappointed, and was reminded that the crêpe is more expensive than I would have liked ($ 6). Compared to Sophie’s in Japantown @ SF, this would be a rip off.
I probably should’ve gone to café hue instead…

I love the concept of cone crepes, but I don’t know if they executed it the best way possible… I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now because it just looked so cute from the outside! And I was hoping it would be one of those «hole in the wall» type of places.
I ordered:
–Original crêpe ($ 3.95) + green tea ice cream (99 cents) + mango fruit (99 cents) + red bean (99 cents) = $ 7.48 (with tax)
Pros:
–Quick service. I guess this is also the fact that there were not too many people in the store. I only noticed one crêpe machine, and two workers.
–Good ice cream. Tastes like green tea to me!
Cons:
–Mediocre service. No smiles, and no thank yous. The cashier who took my order seemed really annoyed.
–Pricey. For the price I had to pay for this, I would have rather sat down at Café Hue and ordered a crêpe there (much more worth it and not rational with their toppings).
–Small portions/​toppings. I was watching the girl prepare my crêpe, and I was surprised at how little toppings she put in. barely put in any red bean (only about a teaspoon) and tried her best to spread it all over the crêpe. As well, mangos were about two teaspoon max, and there was too much whipped cream. Ultimately, it’s like eating a burrito without any «filling». At the end, I felt like I was just eating lots of carbs.
–Red bean was not «fresh». There are different types of red bean on the market – the moist kind, the dry kind, paste kind… this one was not «fresh» in that it tasted like red bean and also it was not sweet. They must have bought a bad brand, or this has been out too long. (She was scraping the sides of the can.)
–Wrapping around crêpe was not so hot. Imagine trying to drive and eat this (literally impossible). I understand the whole grab-​n-​go concept, but because the crêpe is hot, and so it sticks to the paper, it’s hard to eat the bottom of the crêpe without having to make a mess and rip a bunch of little papers.
Tips/​Observations:
–Parking is ridiculous in this plaza! If you can avoid parking here. It is super packed, and people are terrible drivers/​parkers on Convoy.
–They are connected to Rakiraki! If you dine there, you can walk over and get a crêpe. Or something else. Or just go elsewhere.
Overall, I probably would not risk parking in this parking lot to get another crêpe here, nor would I be interested in coming here again. The time spent to park my car took longer than it took to make this and eat it.

This place is pretty good. Pricing is straight forward and you can get up to $ 7 fairly quickly so be careful. This is currently my go-​to place for crepes. The only unfortunate part is that it is located in possibly the worst parking lot in kearny mesa.
I usually get my crepes with nutella (a must), strawberry ice cream and either strawberries or bananas.
I’m not sure if this is true anymore but if you get some food at the ramen shop next door you get a discount coupon printed on your receipt that you can use at the crêpe store.

I took my girlfriend here as a surprise because she’s half-​Japanese and loves both ice cream and crepes. This place looks cute from the outside, but I really don’t know where the Harajuku part comes into play. Once inside, it’s not very clean, it’s really small, and there’s hardly anything that resembles Japanese culture. To be honest, the whole experience was rather disappointing.
We decided to split one crêpe cone, which is their specialty. It’s basically a super-​thin crêpe rolled up into a cone and filled with ice cream and your choice of ingredients. We opted for the banana with chocolate sauce. We were rang up, and the damned thing totaled $ 6.90. WTH? That’s way too much to pay for a crêpe with one scoop of ice cream, ¹⁄₃ of a banana, and a squirt of chocolate sauce! It was tasty, but not $ 7.00 tasty! I felt like I was totally ripped off! Even worse was the fact that the bottom ¹⁄₃ of the crêpe cone was filled with whipped cream and not ice cream. Lame! I won’t be returning.

So good… I placed another order right after I finished my first crêpe cone!
Bummed they don’t have nuts. I love banana, Nutella, almonds crêpe but I had to settle without the almonds. Oh well who cares cz this crêpe cone is even better!!!
The crepes is served like an ice cream cone with the chocolate Pocky stick and whip cream. It’s easier to eat this way vs folded on a plate with a knife/​fork. You can taste all the 2 flavors I ordered haha and its soft and melts in your mouth.
My friend ordered the shave ice. In my mind I was thinking more like a snow cone that u get at the fair. But this was different. It’s served in a bowl/​cup with shave ice (I think it’s frozen condensed milk with water, freeze it then shave it. Idk) add ice cream (mocha) and toppings of your choice. VIOLA! The best shave ice cream ever ever!!!
FYI you can add any topping you want on the shave ice except Nutella. Not sure why… but the girl was nice enough to add a spoon full in my friends bowl :)
