    Interior
    Sandy L.

    What a lovely little spot! I was surprised how extensive the menus is. It can be a bit overwhelming. Plenty of options for everyone. They have boba and crepes (and much more)! The interior is small. There are only about 4 tables. Service was very friendly! Payment is tap to pay preferred but there is a tip jar if you prefer to tip in cash. Parking is very easy since it's in a large plaza near the theater. I ordered the red bean and cream crepe. These crepes are made to order. You can see the man working on the left of the cashier. And these crepes are absolutely stuffed! They're delicious and well worth the cost. I'd love to try some of the drinks next time I'm in this area. They seem very popular.

    The crepe was packed. I was worried I'd be hungry still after and I wasn't even a little hungry. I was eating on my lunch break and didn't bring enough money for a drink. The people there saw I didn't have something to drink and offered me some water which was very nice. It's a charming little place with a couple tables but this the perfect food to take with you to a park or the beach or something like that. I can't wait to try a sweet crepe. They looked so good.

    Lemon strawberry crepes, hot chai latte, pour over coffee

    We were looking for a bite to eat after going to the nearby art supply store. We had lemon strawberry crepes, a chai latte & pour over coffee. Although they were busy, organized line, attentive ordering, and got a table. The crepe was filled nicely & delish! Coffees were reasonably priced for the high quality. We'll be back (even though we were visiting from over the hill).

    The food was delicious and they certainly don't skimp on the serving size. Employees were kind and you get to watch them make your order in front of you. Lots of fresh ingredients. One crepe is so big that it's more than enough for 1 person. There is seating in the restaurant.

    My boyfriend and I came here and got the strawberry and cream and a nutella crepe and we loved them! Be ready to be really full after! The service is awesome is super accommodating. We ended up ordering a coffee too after our initial order and that was good also. The place is small but perfect for a quick crepe date!

    Get ready to have a smile on your face for the yummiest crepes! There's sweet crepes and savory crepes. The crepes are a big size. I would say one crepe can easily feed 2 people. All crepes are made Fresh on order with fresh ingredients. There is a large variety of flavors for boba/bubble Milk tea.

    The left is the Veggie crepe, added tabasco sauce. The right is the Turkey Avocado. Served in to go containers with knife & fork inside!

    Wonderful little place with 4 small tables for dine in. An extensive menu for sweet or savory crepes & chalkboards with a myriad of drinks, hot & iced, & smoothies. The cafe is in the strip mall, has a massive parking lot with easy access. The decor was simple and bright. The crepe master and barista both acknowledged our arrival and assured us quick service. The crepes were prepared in full view if you wanted to watch, as were the drinks. The crepes were scrumptious, we ordered the Turkey Avocado & a Veggie. One crepe can be shared with 2 or maybe even 3 people they are so big and filling! Delightful experience ... definitely recommend you check it out!

    Passionfruit tea with jelly

    ICrave is me and my whole houses favorite spot especially for summery drinks to take to the beach. Rn my favorite is iced passion fruit tea with lychee jelly. The family that owns it is always so kind and quick!

    Almond Bubble Milk Tea (Left) & Wintermelon Bubble Milk Tea (Right)
    Cally L.

    The store is located in a quiet plaza across from Capitola Mall. I came on a Friday morning, and there was a good amount of parking. The owners were super sweet and service didn't take long, as there was only 1 person ahead of us. I assume when it's busy, it will take longer for your crepe to be made since they only have 2 crepe makers. The menu has a large variety (both food and drinks), and you can choose flavors for your drinks that you can't get elsewhere in/around Santa Cruz. Food/Drink: Wintermelon Bubble Milk Tea (6/10): I got this with less sweet, and it was still insanely sweet. There wasn't much tea flavor either and tasted mostly of milk. However, the boba was fresh and chewy. Bacon, Egg & Cheese Savory Crepe (10/10): Humongous; this can definitely be 2 meals or shared with another person. There was lots of warm, gooey cheese and a decent amount of fatty bacon. It was delicious! I definitely want to come back again and try their sweet crepes!

    It was my first time coming here and it did NOT disappoint!! The owners were very welcoming and the drinks were so good - especially for its price. I got the peach iced tea with diced strawberries and it was super refreshing. 10/10 would recommend!!

    Hands down the best! Even during busy times customer service is nice. Crepes are PACKED , sometimes can't even finish one. They have iced, blended and HOT bobas. My favorite is hot chai latte with boba. I've loved this place for years.

    Crepe making in progress, FYI, it's HUGE!!

Also they make delicious home made ice cream and it's dairy free!

With that being said if you like to support local businesses, this is your spot!

    Craving Thai? My Thai Beach = 5 Star Satiation!…read more A friend and I were hungry after the beach and we'd never tried this place and Thai sounded good, so we decided to give it a shot. I am SO glad we did! OMG we had the Tom Yum glass noodle soup. I still can barely believe how delicious it was! Flavors: Tangy lime juice (and tamarind?) spicy garlicky chili (or chili paste?) a touch of fish sauce for nice saltiness, with fragrant and flavorful lemongrass, slight sweetness...touched ALL taste bud bases at once! I could not get enough. Generous portion, too. It was almost impossible for my friend and I to have a conversation, because with every other bite one of us was expressing our delight in the INTENSE and PERFECT combination of heady flavors in the soup! We also split a Shrimp Pad Thai; the shrimp were LARGE, FAT and cooked perfectly, no chewiness whatsoever. We also had the mussels appetizer; I can usually give or take mussels at most places, but these were also above average, such yummy seasonings. The service was outstanding, as well; knowledgeable, friendly, expeditious. I WILL be back for more items, and will recommend it roundly in my circles!

    I wanted to love Soul Sweets but unfortunately do not. Let me set the scene…read more.. It was another 80+ degree afternoon, but no one was inside when I walked in with my kids. There were 2 people working there and behind the counter. No one greeted us. We looked at the menu and though we could have ordered at the counter, the staff didn't seem friendly like they wanted to be approached so we chose to order at the computerized kiosk! Other Yelpers said prices were average, but I thought the drinks were expensive! They start around $7 but that most do not include toppings, and each topping was $0.75. That adds up! (My go-to boba place in Santa Cruz has boba for $5.50, which includes 2 toppings, so....this seems like highway robbery.) Due to the high prices, out of three of us, we only ordered two drinks and only one of the drinks had an added topping. When they were done making the drinks, one drink had the plastic top sealed on and the other was placed on the counter. The staffer walked away. I was unsure if I should just take the drinks. They were clearly our drinks (I could see they were ours, plus we were the only customers), but it was odd the man put the drink there and walked away without saying anything! No communication, no eye contact. Nothing. After several minutes, he returned to complete the plastic cup cover sealing, and then he placed the cup in front of me. No "thank you", no "here you go", no "enjoy", nothing. It was odd. Other than the prices, the flavor of the boba was okay in flavor and chewiness, but the strawberry matcha drink had effects that, let's just say, caused someone hours of bathroom trips! We don't know if it was the milk or some other ingredient, but something was not right. Needless to say, we will not be returning to Soul Sweet. The store looked so cute in the photos, I think it had potential, but the freshness is important and price is an important factor.
