Looking to satisfy your appetite for crepes?

Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the best affordable creperies around San Francisco, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of the top spots to venture when cravings strike.


1. Belly Good Cafe & Crepes

Topping the list is Belly Good Cafe & Crepes. This kiosk in Japantown's Kintetsu Mall (1737 Post St., Suite 393) offers build-your-own crepes complete with one-of-a-kind designs sculpted in ice cream and whipped cream. It's the highest-rated budget-friendly creperie in San Francisco, boasting 4.5 stars out of 1,285 reviews on Yelp.

(Note: Belly Good Cafe & Crepes is cash-only.)

Yelper Tien Teena N., who reviewed Belly Good Cafe & Crepes on Sept. 16, 2019, wrote, "The crepe is kawaii and so cute that it makes it even hard to eat! I mean, how can you bite into something with such an adorable teddy bear face staring back at you? But guess what? You will, and you will keep biting into it because it is so delicious!"

2. Gio Gelati
