MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CREPE PLACE!!! i love their crepes so much because they are a bit crispy, as opposed to other crepe places that are just soft. kind of reminds me of a thin fortune cookie if you like getting those from the fortune cookie factory down in chinatown.
anyways, i've been thinking about this place FOR YEARS. AT LEAST 2 and now i finally got a chance to visit san francisco for the weekend, so OF COURSE i had to stop by genki crepes, even though it was out of the way from everywhere else we were visiting. but, love has no limits and i would travel far and wide for food.
so this quaint little shop is actually also a mini grocery store and at the front, next to the register, is where all the magic happens and they make their amazing crepes. it's located on a cute street with a bunch of other shops and restaurants, so it's also really nice to walk around. one of the nicer neighborhoods in the area, i would say!! while walking down the street, i got a whiff of the iconic crepes and i knew i was close... after walking for almost 2 miles, excited is to say the least LOL
there was no line when we got there around 3pm but there were 2-3 people who were waiting for their crepes. there is also a bench against the wall where you can sit and wait for or eat your crepes. and three additional benches outside. ordering is super simple and they have a wide variety, which includes both savory and sweet options.
my boyfriend and i decided to order a sweet crepe with nutella and mixed fruits. it cost about $9 which is pretty solid given the size and amount of toppings they put. the mixed fruit crepe came with strawberries, diced mangos, and banana slices, and it was delicious!! the crepe was a tad bit crispy near the top and nice and soft towards the center/bottom. the fruits were all fresh and top notch quality, maybe not the sweetest but still quite tasty and it honestly offsets the sweetness of the nutella perfectly. the crepes are made fresh to order and you can even watch them cook/put them together. they didn't take that long to come out either, and they provide utensils and napkins, which you will need because it can get messy haha. overall 10/10, would return any time im in the area!!
