Flavorful and well prepared, but the ingredients are average quality. I think this place is mostly famous due to families and late-night crowds.
I've had many crepes here and never had a bad one. They have ice cream, savory and snack crepes. Definitely something for everyone! One of my favorite crepes is the chicken, green onion, cheese and sweet chili sauce crepes. Everything works well with each other! There is a long bench inside and outside for sitting. I'd recommend getting a crepe and walking up and down Clement street looking at the shops. During the summertime this place can be busy in the evenings.
Oh my goodness. Nutella chocolate crepe is to die for.
Best crepes on the block! Would have taken a picture of my beautiful strawberry, Nutella, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream crepe, but I ate it too fast. If you're in the area and are craving something sweet, you must stop by here!
Great for a late night run. Tasty crepes every time.
Whenever I get a hankering for a crepe I come here. It is probably one of the most exotic crepe places I've been to. It has a lot of foreign products. I'm not really sure if it's Chinese, Japanese, or Korean. The crepes are reasonably priced.
Genki is a local and tourist favorite for many reasons. Genki recently received a perfect health score and has a renovated interior. It's extensive menu and endless choices make it a go-to spot. The crepes are made right in front of you and are always cooked well. Genki also offers a market in the back with snacks, drinks, beauty products, and more. Prices are good for the mini mart, but are going up for the crepes and shakes. This is still a highly recommended and popular spot.
Nice place for a snack! Best place for Boba in the neighborhood. But the staff are pretty sad usually.
Awesome hole in the wall place. Would have never thought to stop here if it wasn't for a friends' recommendation. Had the best ice cream filled crepe here.
I was craving a crepe so I decided to stop at Genki's. As usual, it was very crowded. I think this is a hot spot because they open late. I ordered the lychee ice cream with cheesecake. The lychee ice cream was prescooped so it was semi melted when they served it. The cheesecake bits were good. I agree with Aaron (hi Aaron!), the crepe was unappetizing; it almost tasted like thin cardboard.
Japanese style crepes and an awesome mini-mart of awesome Asian snacks, toys, and beauty products. Try the egg puffs, also known as bubble waffles.
Mmm crepes... combination dessert shop and Japanese convenience store. They carry the soy facecream I like! I ran around all over Tokyo looking for it and it's here. Joy. I picked up some yogurt drinks and specialty candies while waiting for my crepe to be done. The minimart is a fun place to poke around, random toys and foods.
The crepes here are delicious, especially the chocolate cake vanilla ice cream one. The crepes are also at a great price.
Cute selection of Japanese and Asian snacks, treats, and toys. Fresh crepes that smell delicious as soon as you step through the door.
Crepes with cheesecake and ice cream. Need I say more? [Ok, maybe I need to say more.] Cute neighborhood convenience store with decidedly Asian-influenced product selection. The reason to visit though, is to nosh on their crepes (both sweet and savory). My favorite is the one that comes with both slices of cheesecake and a big scoop of chocolate ice cream. Wow. There's often a line and not very much room to sit / hang out inside. But hey, it's San Francisco, so you're probably wearing enough layers anyway to sit outside.
Sometimes there could be a line but it moves fast! Great service, good variety of ice creams, fruit, and other toppings, this is a great place to go for a quick bite or for a quick sweet fix. Love the blueberry cheese cake or the mango ice cream with fresh strawberries. For savory, can't go wrong with ham and cheese. Yummy!!
Such a yummy treat. I wish I had bought 2. I am not into crepes and last time I was there, did not want one, but then I tried my husband's and was so mad at myself for not getting one. It's not the usual crepe. It's crunch and soft at the same time. The crepe itself tasted like a fortune cookie to me. Everything stays together from the first to last bite. Genius idea and delicious! I had the mixed fruit (fresh mangos, strawberries and bananas)with cream. Delicious!!!! The store is cool too. Full of Asian treats. It also has a bathroom, which is rare in SF!!!!!
I love Genki crepes!!!! They lots of crepe choices and it's so delicious!! There are usually different kinds of crepes such as really soft crepes or kind of like a waffle cone crepe. The crepes are are like that waffle cone texture which it makes it so delicious. Very big in portions and lots of different options to put in the crepe. Besides being a crepe store, this is also a little mini japanese supermarket for all your Japanese needs. :)
I always love genki crepe's crepe. I want none of that sogginess from japantown crepes... The flavors/variety here are good and the quality is generous! What more can you ask for? The only thing that gets me scrambling is if I am getting a crepe for myself, you need to have cash. (Credit card min at $10)
Fantastic Service, Love the crepes. I've tried all of them. I love the boba as well. The lines are long at night especially on weekends. I like their coconut tapioca cups too.
Love the crepes here. My favorite is nutella with almonds. Savory crepes are good too. They have a small convenience store inside as well. Would have been a 5 star if they had a good seating arrangement to sit and eat.
I don't like the crispy dry crepes here. They're basically ice cream cones. If you order them for non-ice cream, it's way too dry. Crepes should be crispy on the outside and slightly gummy on the inside, not taste like a cracker. The place is popular too so it can take forever to get your order.
The milkshakes with boba are great! The mini mart is best for Japanese candy and drinks.
Definitely a different take on crepes...so don't expect a soft crepe with cream cheese like you would traditionally...but rather like an ice cream cone. They are delicious and have a plethora of combinations, whether its ice cream, or a hot filling. Regardless...take a chance and try em out. I'm sure you won't be disappointed!!
BEST CREPES EVER!! My must dessert stop in San Francisco. You won't be disappointed. Don't let the long lines scare you because they are fast.
Solid place for a late night dessert craving. The crepes that they make smell and taste so good. I got the Nutella with bananas and whip cream. The crepe was fresh and delicious. I would recommend to anyone who loves sweets.
yummy yummy yum...Love my Volcano with Red Bean ice cream...
I love their selection of drinks and Japanese snacks and candy. I'm not too much of a crepe person, but I enjoy ordering ice cream and milk tea. They use half and half in their milk teas, and it's a little to heavy sometimes for me.
Great little shop to order some dessert and browse. It's super tempting to get a small thing of Japanese candy while you wait for your treat. The red bean egg puff is super good; I'd highly recommend it!
This place is fire. Opened late and really good crepes. Crispy exterior with nicely sweet fruit mango ice cream? Yes for sure. And I've drive out to here with friends on multiple occasions just to get the crepes
I love coming here when I have a sweet tooth. Although they are more known for their selection of crepes, waffles, and ice cream, it's also a mini mart so they have sodas, juice, chips, and other drinks and candies. When I'm here I usually order a sweet crepe. This place is in a central place on Clement with other local shops and restaurants. Nice place to stop by for dessert.
Quick service, tasty crepes. The boba drinks here come in smoothie form, also tasty. This is also a snack store! Asian snacks and bottled drinks.
a very secluded place to find. once you have found this place it have one of the best crepes in town. opens lae night for your late night munchies and some decent service.
Such a glorious place to hit up for dessert after dinner. I usually go for the green tea ice cream crepe with red bean. Not too sweet, and the flavors are all stamped for approval by generations of Asians, so you can't go wrong. Small storefront, but there's negligible amounts of seating and you can always wander over to the park. If you're too lazy to make the trek to Japantown for Asian trinkets, they got 'em by the bucketload in the back.
Great unique taste. The combination of flavors in their crepes are indescribable. You have to experience it yourself to understand.
Lots of different savory and dessert crepes to chose from! You can also construct your own crepes using the different ingredients listed on the menu. My favorite crepes (from the menu) are the strawberry/nutella/vanilla ice cream crepe and the beef sukiyaki crepe. While you wait for your crepe, go explore the rest of the store! You'll find snacks, drinks, cosmetics, and accessories you won't find anywhere else!
Late into the evening and you found yourself wandering around. Stop by and enjoy yourself with one of their crepes
Dessert crepes are amazing, have tried all of them over the years and they have never failed to disappoint.
great for a midnight crepe snack! has tons of other asian candies as well! this was the first place i ever had green tea kitkat. it was and still is amazing.
I found this little gem back in 2007 and every so often I take local friends to this place if we happen to have dinner in the area. Reasons why I love this place?! Well, for starters, it s a little store that sells just about everything you can imagine= endless sorts of amusement. Dried crabs that are salty and sweet, anyone? Japanese kid toys, key chains, stickers? My favorite thing about this place crepe place is that you can add ice cream into your crepe...leaving you with a super large dessert spilling/melting all over the place for you to enjoy as you walk out the door.
Top 2 sweet crepes places in SF in my opinion. Try adding the lychees into your crepes. They also sell bubble teas and Japanese snacks and food products.
Yummy crepes, open late. Try the banana and Nutella or green tea.
Great spot to hit when you're in the mood for some dessert!
Basically impossible to be in the neighborhood and NOT get a crepe!!
This place is awesome. The crepes are crispier than their European counterparts, but equally delicious. Get a bubble tea to go with your crepe.
It s exactly what it sounds like. A Crepes shop and a mini mart, in the same 30ft. The mart has most of the more popular asian products. I ordered a Cheesecake and Chocolate Crepe, apparently one of the most popular ones, and I wasn t impressed. The crepe itself wasn t a good balance of soft and crunchy. The dollop of ice cream on one side and the cheesecake on the other, inside the cone that the crepe was rolled into, made it hard to enjoy the three things together. I ended up having to use a spoon to eat the ice cream and biting into the dryness of the crepe and cheesecake together. I like my crepes put together and easy to eat.
Come for the egg waffle deliciousness, stay for the quirky snack shop. Plenty of nice things to feast your eyes, and your mouth on!
I love this place. The crepes are huge for the price you pay. Compared to the smaller crepes you can get at the mall or at any other fancy restaurant, these crepes are far worth it. They have a large variety including sweet or savory crepes as well as other desserts. I would recommend going here.
I've been coming here since at least 2012. I love frequenting this place, and I love introducing friends here. In a city of excessive attempts to making glorious desserts, Genki keeps it simple and familiar - fruit, cream, and sauce, wrapped in a thin, but crispy crepe. Genki is an easy option for dessert, because with so many combinations, one is bound to match your cravings. My favorite is getting a strawberries and whip cream crepe with an added scoop of ice cream occasionally. Though there's sometimes a line, it moves fast, and the staff works efficiently to get your order ready for you. Parking can be a struggle on high traffic days, so bus or Uber if possible. Tucked away a street or two over from Geary, I like that it's located on a street that's a little quieter. When I come here, I am reminded what I love about San Francisco.
Best crepes in town. Visited almost every night during my week visit to San Francisco!
Love the ice cream crepes they sell at this place! There isn't one thats isn't bad, all of them are good!
I just come here for the crepes. They are fantastic.
Best Crepes ever! -Savory and Sweet -Reasonable wait time -Street Parking Not much seating No tables Merged with Asian store (cool stuff)
Definitely a go-to place for when you're craving crepes or your dessert didn't satisfy your sweet tooth. They also have pretty good stock of popular Japanese confections.
The only place for me to get awesome crepes!! Ive been going here for 5 years now!!
It's good but possibly more novelty than actually that great. Cool idea though.
Found this place in 6th grade, been coming since. The crepes are great, snacks are great, all around very good. Thumbs up from me
Went to order and ask to make my own they refused to make it just because it was sweet and savory
Really good crepes and snacks, reminds me of late nights with friends! I like the contrast of the crunchy crepe and the ice cream! They have a great selection and variety of toppings.
I love this place! Not only is it a creperie, they also have every single treat imaginable. They offer savory as well as sweet crepes. My favorite is Nutella with marshmallow. They're usually packed, but service is always speedy!
Crepes were made fast. Alot of cool snacks in the store.
Great simple crepes! Also fun to shop Japanese treats while waiting for food
Crispy crunchy crepes with ice cream and bananas is all I need for dessert. Best place for crispy crepes and not the soggy kind.
The ingredients are fresh, the service good and the wait time for your food, not long at all. I just wish they had more beverage options. Genki Crepes in a nice neighborhood as well on Clement St. I recommend #18, which is a savory crepe (chicken, oinions, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and chili sauce) so delicioso!!
French food with an asian flare! Delicious! If you love crepes and flavors not commonly found in your local grocery store, check this place out! The crepe skin is so thin and crispy! The flavor options are plentiful that you won't be able to make up your mind when you see them. One of the best things about this place i that it is also a convenience store! They import a huge variety of snacks from other countries! They sell snacks that seem like something we normally have at any other store but with different flavors! Such as, green tea kitkat, strawberry ice cream oreo... the selection is endless! The staff is super nice and very helpful when you aren't sure what flavor you want to get. And if you don't know what a flavor is because it's new to you, don't worry, sample to your heart's content.
Peanut butter egg puffs. Eat fresh when it is crunchy on the borders and doughy in the middle. Saw tiny bits of peanut. Good flavor. 4.75 plus tax. Not too sweet. I think they perfected it. 3.25 for a scoop of ice cream. Asian snacks and drinks. Bench to sit inside. Unless you want to brave the cold outside.
This is one of the best place I got crepes from. Beside selling crepes, they also have snacks and other accessories. They also sell drinks. I never tried their drinks, but their crepes are really good. I always get the ice cream crepes and it always satisfy me.
So tasty. Been coming here for years, and the #14 is always my go-to for savory crepes. They have endless imported snack options as well to round out your fast-food cravings
Best crepes in town. Forget Japantown and go here!!!!
Oh the things I would do for the strawberry, Nutella, and marshmallow crepe...!
