Olala is a charming European-style coffee shop in San Diego's Gaslamp District. They offer a variety of breakfast options and an extensive selection of coffee. I tried the pistachio latte, and it was absolutely delicious. I also ordered a black coffee for my partner, which had rich flavors and a perfect balance.

Cute frontage on busy Fifth St in Gaslamp, SD which I found this crêpe place & ordered a dessert crêpe made out of strawberries & condensed milk & added Nutella on the top with a hot chai tea latte to pair it with...Took it to go & is an exquisite treat! Merci.

I got the strawberry, banana, and Nutella crepe. You can see them make it behind the counter and it comes out nice and hot. This was a good dessert and hit the spot when I was looking for something sweet to eat at night.

Olala Crepes was a nice surprise! Initially came in here wanting to try their crepes but ended up just trying their acai bowl. They offer two sizes for their acai bowls, which we had gotten the smaller size. It was a good size if you're looking for a good snack that's not too sweet. The acai mix itself was lovely; I loved that every bite you can expect to have some granola. The acai is a bit on the liquidy side and not as frozen as I am used to, but nevertheless still good. The staff was all super kind and sweet. Would come back again!

Returning to comic con, i always find myself stopping by here at least once for a treat on the way back to whatever telly we are at. This time around i opted to not do the crepes (was a bit sweet for me though i know they say it's more on the healthy side) We got the acai bowl and it was enjoyable, felt fresh and the toppings were yummy. Has a lot of granola in it which i welcomed for the change of pace in texture. Thanks again olala will be back next time.

While browsing the street vendor offerings just outside, the smell of delicious crepes drew us in...that and the sign for a bagel and cream cheese with a cup of drip coffee. Sign us up! Inside, I could not get enough of the beautiful cherry blossom tree décor. That small touch really changes the entire ambience of the place. And the lights that shine on them bring a whole new level to the look. I really like it! They serve fresh crepes as well as gelato. My wife's bagel had a very generous amount of cream cheese-she ended up scraping about a third of it off, which was a little wasteful but there is too much of a good thing, I'm told. Since we were here early in the day, we weren't up to trying gelato, but it all looked good-maybe on another day we'll stop by and try it out.
