    In the area and stopped in for a quick treat in this sweltering heat. Counter area very clean and organized for convenience. Counter help were fast, friendly and efficient. There were 5-6 people eating crepes as we walked past them to sit at a table in the back after we had made our gelato selections. Hubs had a 2 scoop cookie butter cup and I had a single scoop pistachio cup. Creamy, delicious and yummy mouth feel and nuts were perfect, small and good ratio to gelato. Hubs said his was delicious as well and we look forward to coming back.

    Happiness!

    Came here after enjoy a nice lunch and massage in the area and I just needed a good old fashion thai tea and I'm so glad I stopped in! I walked in and they inside was really nice and welcoming with some people working on their laptops and enjoying their desserts. The woman behind the counter took my order right away. I ordered a Thai tea with light boba and it was perfect. The flavor was spot on ans the boba pearls were just the right kind of chewy, not too mushy or slimy but perfect! I also asked to try some samples of the ice cream. I tried the Taro ice cream and pistachio ice cream which were both pretty decent and beautifully displayed. I asked if the ice cream was made fresh daily ans the woman said they were made every other day which was fine because the ice cream was still pretty good. Over all, a really sweet place and I can't wait to come back!

    latte!

    I really enjoy their coffee. I often come here right after grocery shopping as a treat. I've had their gelato and crepes before, but I much prefer the coffee instead. I usually get a latte, either hazelnut or vanilla, and it's quite good and strong as I like it. I absolutely love the cubed ice they use. I'm quite particular about my ice. It's also more on the acidic side than I'd like it to be, but it's still delish! The crepes I have had here were okay, they weren't great but I'd recommend to get something else instead. Employees are always super sweet and they make your orders super quick. Tables are a-plenty for a cafe.

    A perfect dessert! The crepe itself was soft enough to use only a fork to cut. I'm usually not a fan of whipped cream but the one they put inside the crepe was delicious! There's a lot of seating inside and outside, makes a cute date spot! I'll have to come back to try the gelato flavors of the brown sugar butter crepe!

    WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! A male cashier working on the evening of February 25th between 7-8pm was incredibly rude and bitter to a customer with a nut allergy. I have experienced this multiple times already and this is my last straw. My friend and I visit almost once a month and order a crepe with ice cream and always disclose that they have a nut allergy and request for the staff to do what they can to prevent cross contamination since some of their ice cream flavors and topping include nuts. This male cashier ALWAYS gives us attitude and we can't stand it anymore. The crepe ain't THAT good. I don't know what this guy has against people with nut allergies but he is always giving attitude and it gets so much worse when you disclose that you're allergic to nuts. Management needs to pull this man to the side, teach him some manners, and give him a whoopin before someone else does.

    Salted Caramel Banana Crepe with Cookie Butter Gelato
    Huy T.

    Salted Caramel Banana Crepe with Cookie Butter Gelato (10/10): I love the thinness and subtle sweetness from the crepe; it's definitely not too eggy and allows the other flavors to shine. The bananas were at the perfect ripeness, so it did not make the dessert super sweet. The custard filling and light drizzle of salted caramel is such an amazing combination. The cookie butter gelato was nice and creamy, and it was super enjoyable eating both the gelato and crepe together. Overall Thoughts: I highly recommend the crepes (although I wish they put more custard in the filling) and gelato. They have a lot of unique Asian flavor gelatos, which makes each visit a pleasant surprise because I can try a different flavor each time. The vibe of the cafe is super friendly and cute. There are lots of chairs and tables, and it would be a great study spot as it isn't too noisy to concentrate. The workers are very nice, and it doesn't take them too long to make my order. I'll definitely visit Cafe Hue again to try a different flavored crepe and gelato!

    I get the mixed berries with Nutella crepe and a side of pistachio every single time. Fast, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I could eat crepes everyday, especially the ones from Cafe Hue! :)

    Matcha coconut
    Grace C.

    I ordered their matcha coconut drink and it was decent. I got the large and after tip and tax it was almost $10 for the drink. Service was great and my drink came out pretty quick. The drink was on the creamy side and the matcha had some clumps but it was still good. I would come again but I'd just get the regular size.

    Nutella with mixed fruits crepe!

    My friends and I used to go here all the time since 2012. We came by to visit just like the old times and it's still as good as I remembered! I ordered my usual nutella crepe. I didn't realize how much I missed it! It was so good I finished it in less than 5 minutes! They also had a lot of gelato flavors to choose from. If you're not into sweets, they also have savory crepes! Service was fast, and they have plenty of seating areas. It was clean and there's planty of lighting inside. Save some room for dessert and stop by here for a crepe!

    Yannis A.

    If you have not visited this small place, you are truly missing out. If you like Belgian waffles or French crepes, this is the place to get one. I have been around the world, have had many decent crepes even in Paris; those made at Cafe Hue are amazing, better than anything I have ever sampled. I have even brought here friends who live in Europe and they concurred with me! Give this place a shot! My favorite is Nutella with whipped cream; their whipped cream is not the traditional white whipped cream but rather this buttery tasting, off white whipped cream that has a dreamy taste! Try this place at your own risk; you will be addicted!

    Athena P.

    This place serves a large variety of food, from crepes, to ice cream, and even boba! The workers there are very friendly, and overall it's a very chill atmosphere.

    Do you make raindrop cakes?

    No, it doesn't seem like they have that on the menu.

    Can you make a yummy dessert without a milk product and Without nuts? I see all your pictures posted and all look yummy but my son has milk allergies and can't have anything with nuts or seeds .

    I have ordered crepes, waffles and shaved ice without nuts or seeds because my children have same allergies. They oblige and are attentive to your dietary needs.

We used to come visit here when we come to San Diego.

The other thing that got to me was that the men's restroom was out of service so they did not announce it or anything but the women's bathroom was to be used by both genders but it was crowded so a bit uncomfortable. Service wise we got our deserts and the deserts are still very delicious. We were a larger party and they were able to accommodate and get all of our orders correctly. Noise level was normal and gave us time to sit down and relax our feet. Over all - food was good but things were a bit worn down from a building perspective

It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful.

My matcha was good and I really liked how creamy it was without feeling too heavy. The matcha itself was a little boring and didn't have a ton of flavor, but the Biscoff was light and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. My husband enjoyed his latte but said afterward that he wished he had tried the pistachio instead. I'd definitely like to come back on a weekday when it's hopefully a little less busy and crowded. I would say the ambiance was the best thing out of our experience. Next time we're both going pistachio--matcha for me and latte for him!
