Crema's Take
“iCrave is a beloved mom-and-pop Japanese crepe and boba gem tucked into Capitola that locals have trusted for quality and generosity for nearly a decade. Their crepes are loaded with fresh, creative ingredients and thoughtful sauces, while their boba drinks—especially the Thai tea—deliver the authentic flavors that keep people coming back. The owners' genuine warmth and commitment to quality ingredients make this a family-friendly spot where you'll feel like you're part of something special, not just grabbing a quick drink.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
