Tucked away in the heart of San Francisco’s Japantown, Sophie’s Crepes is a long-standing favorite that’s been serving delicious Japanese-style crepes since 2000. The cozy little shop, with its bright yellow trim and casual charm, has an inviting atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and welcoming.
I ordered a Japanese Special crepe, matcha ice cream with red bean paste, and it did not disappoint. The crepe was freshly made, warm, and slightly crispy on the edges while soft and chewy in the center—just the way it should be. The matcha ice cream had a rich, earthy flavor that paired beautifully with the sweet and mildly nutty red bean paste. It wasn’t overly sugary, which made it even more enjoyable.
Even though the shop was fairly busy, the service was quick and friendly. There’s a small seating area inside and a few tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your crepe while people-watching or just soaking in the Japantown vibe. It’s a fun spot to take a break, especially on a warm afternoon.
Whether you’re in the mood for a sweet treat or just looking for a little comfort food with Japanese flair, Sophie’s Crepes is definitely worth a stop. The quality has remained consistent over the years, and it’s clear why this place is a local favorite.
