I have taken almost everyone I know here because everything about this place is amazing! I got the strawberry Nutella crepe and it's probably the best crepe I've had in San Diego. The waffles are yummy too.. had to steal a bite from my mom Service was great! Very happy people working which always helps enjoy your experience more. Loved the ambiance.. they had very cute hanging vines as decor and all in all would come back a thousand times over.

Cafe Hue is my favorite place for crepes and waffles! Most other places make their crepes soggy but there is still crunch here. My favorite crepe is the hues coffee crepe with the biscoff cookie crumbs for extra crunch. I love the whipped cream they use because they make it fresh in house and it's not too sweet at all! My favorite waffle is the cream cheese waffle because the house made cream cheese perfectly balances out the sweet waffle. Studying here is good because of the ample seating. The employees are all very sweet and give great advice on what to get! The gelato here is great too (I love the yogurt and mascarpone) and they make it in house as well which is a plus!

Finally made my way here after a few years and the desserts are amazing as always! We got an order of crepes and waffles made fresh and flavors are always on point. The service here is always fast and employees are always great. Restaurant is clean and organized with plenty of seating.

My family and I have walked past this location so many times when going to the market next-door. We finally went in and had such a great experience. There were two young ladies working that were very friendly and patient and explained all kinds of things to us about the menu. This place has a beautiful assortment of fresh gelato, delicious drinks, and then the specialty waffles and crepes. We each had a drink and waffle and loved it so much! I had the berry waffle and all of the fruit was super fresh. They make the sauce in house every day. Since it's actually fresh fruit, it's not that super sugary syrup stuff that you're used to, it was very light and delicious! My brother and sister really enjoyed their waffles but both want to try the berry one next time so I think it's a great one to start with if you don't know which one to choose! I ordered a mango green tea iced and it was absolutely delicious. They have Boba, but they do not have popping Boba. The waffles were roughly about $10 each, which might sound kind of expensive but when you receive the product it's such high-quality I think it's really worth it. it was very clean inside and they've got seating both inside and outside. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside and really enjoyed it . We will definitely be back without a doubt.

I am so grateful to my fellow yelpers for leading me to Cafe Hue! This little gem is in the same shopping center at Nijiya market on Convoy, another gem... The parking lot there is always pretty full but people are always going in an out so you'll find a spot with a little patience. The shop is super cute, very clean, and well organized. There were two women working and they were both so helpful and informative. We learned they make the berry sauce in house every day and it was AMAZING!! All their teas can be hot or iced -- I had peach tea, iced with green tea base...you can also opt for a black tea base. I enjoyed my waffle so much I almost took a picture of my empty plate for Yelp just to show how I ate every drop and morsel!

Crepe was good. Just good, but i'd come back. The menu is big but honestly the crepe selection didnt scream out PICK ME! I am a sucker for Taro or Ube. They had Taro. My Taro crepe was nothing special. Taro flavor was subdued. There was a small almost non existent sweet drizzle on top. Kinda blah overall. I wouldnt order it again. My son had Cookie Butter Crepe. This was a 4.5. Better than the Taro hands down! Nice crispy crunch from the Biscotti cookie crumbles w a sweet butter creme and Biscotti spread inside drizzled w chocolate sauce. I'd get this crepe again. Oh ya, no Ube on menu We did not try the waffles or ice cream. But next time we will try a scoop of ice cream on our crepe. I will re-evaluate and update my review. Ambiance is plain and simple inside.

Came here on a weekday and most of the tables were filled. We ordered one crepe with fruits and Nutella. Some of the fruits were sour yet some of it were sweet. I also loved how each bite had at least one fruit in it. The thinness of the crepe was delicious and not soggy. Also loved how there was a perfect amount of Nutella all around without making it too sweet yet too bland. On top of that we also added one scoop of sesame gelato. It didn't melt that quickly so that's a plus. I deducted one star because I felt like the customer service could've been better. We weren't sure which flavor of gelatos to get so we did ask for samples and even so, the server sort of made us feel ashamed for doing that. In other words, he was making sure that each scoop was going to be small by scraping it little by little. Most place that I've been to would only do it once and however the amount is on the spoon is whatever the customer would get. Honestly, I was just a bit uncomfortable watching that. Another thing that I wanted to point out was how no one in that store smiled one bit. I get that it's a long day but it bothered me to see how I'm tipping a place that is so unwelcoming, especially when I'm getting dessert. Overall thought is that the food itself and everything is good, however, customer service plays a huge role in the vibe or environment I'm in. If sample is something that is frowned upon, please do not have that as an option for customers.
