V&V Delicious Crepes Vegan • $
1855 41st Ave, Capitola

“I’m so happy V&V opened a bride and mortar location! I’ve been a big fan of their crepes from the live oak farmers market and just tried the location in the mall.

It was just as delicious and now I don’t have to wait for the farmers market to get a crepe. It’s rare to find food that is quick and delicious while still feeling healthy and nourishing, V&V hits the mark perfectly.

Service was so kind and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back!“

The fruit accompaniment was delicious and fresh. Service was on point. I even got serenaded and served a yummy dessert when they found out it was my birthday. I wholly recommend this excellent restaurant!“

“I have been here twice now. Crab Rangoon, green curry, sesame balls, and pad Thai were all good. I give the food five stars. For some reason there are never too many people there so they have not staffed up beyond the owners. But this does not seem to be a problem unless multiple parties come in at the same time. So far, for me, it has not been an issue. I knocked off a star for atmosphere only because it is a bit messy behind the desk and the lobby is a little tired. I don't mind any of this when the food is good. Ill be going back.“

I have not been to Japan, but my companion has. Our meal was competitive on flavor and quality, and right here in Capitola. You know how miso soup can be a forgettable way to wait for your meal? Not here. Subtle and flavorful, make sure you enjoy some along with a memorable taste of Japan.“
