Probably the most hidden gem dessert place in Santa Cruz / Capitola area. It’s a small mom and pop Japanese crepe & boba shop that started in 2016. Got to talk with the owners and they’re super kind and hardworking – their daughter was taking care of the register while her parents cooked!
They have a variety of crepe-based dishes from dessert to savory crepes (all customizable) and have milk tea as well! Everything is made fresh in front of you, and portion sizes are generous all while being affordable. If someone in tik tok made a video for them, I’m confident they would go viral (that’s how great it is)!
I got the iBananaExotic ($11.50) which came with banana, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, toasted coconut crisps and caramel. The portion size was huge, with the crepe being multilayered and packed with ice cream and bananas. The bananas were cut fresh and the ice cream was the creamy and did not melt quickly so you can take your time to enjoy. The whipped cream wasn’t too sweet, so the main flavors came from the banana, caramel, and toasted coconut flakes. The crepe was also warm and easy to cut through – cooked to perfection. I liked how it was multilayered so it could hold in the caramel and ice cream which also prevented it from melting quickly.
I’m glad to have stumbled upon iCrave and would definitely come back to try their savory crepes and other dessert combos!

The place is a bit small, but the crepe and the smoothies were amazing :) The crepe almost looked like a burrito because there was so much inside and the smoothie wasn't too sweet, and had the seeds in it which was reminiscent of the smoothies I make at home.

As a tourist visiting from BVI, I’d looked online for places to go to while I was in Santa Cruz for a week. I love crepes so this place was on my list. Got a massive banana, Nutella and cream crepe. It was so huge I could only eat half. The crepe was packed full of ingredients (see pic) and it was packaged well, in a paper box, with cutlery. For $9+ it was a very good deal! I can only imagine what their savory crepes must be like - a full meal! The lady behind the counter was a true gem and provided excellent service. I would recommend this place for a takeout - no seating available.

I got the pizza crepe and thai tea. You get what you pay for, the crepe was phenomenal and it was decently portooned, the tea was also not overly sweet. My families favorite crepe place
