Blissful crepes to choose from a wide variety of menu items
Santa Monica Crepe's menu is full of all kinds of interesting items.


I ordered the " Strawberry Cheesecake Crepe. I was impressed by the happy flavor that spread in my mouth as soon as I put it in my mouth, with the perfect match between the sweet cream and the fresh tartness of the strawberries.
The crepe dough is glutinous and well baked, and I personally love just the right degree of doneness. It also intertwines perfectly with the sweet cream, making it hard to stop eating.

In addition, Santa Monica Crepes also offers tapioca drinks. The stickiness of the tapioca goes perfectly with the crepe, a combination that is especially nice during the hot season. I tried the " Strawberry Miruku Tapioca," which was fruity and not too sweet, and the tapioca was soft and comfortable.
