We had a great experience at this café. We ordered the Dubai Strawberry Crepe, Chicken Florentine, and the Norwegian Salmon Croissant, and everything tasted fresh and well-made. You can really tell that quality ingredients are important here. During a quieter moment, the owner Sam took the time to chat with us and share the history of the café. It was clear how passionate he is about the place and about using the best ingredients possible. That personal touch made the visit even more enjoyable. The café itself has a good amount of seating, and there were even games available, which gives it a relaxed and welcoming vibe--nice if you want to hang out for a bit. Overall, it's a great spot with tasty food and an owner who genuinely cares about the experience. Definitely worth checking out.
If you’re looking for Mediterranean crepes, I recommend coming here! It’s a small and intimate little shop known for their incredible thin, crispy, savory or sweet crepes. You can order at the kiosk here and customize your order on many of their items! Everything is made fresh to order with the freshest and best ingredients I’ve ever tasted! I was extremely excited to try their crepes, smoothies, and Belgian waffle! Their crepes were perfectly thin, crispy, and delectably savory. You can tell their smoothie had fresh ingredients. And to end the meal, the Belgian waffle was my absolute favorite. I picked dark chocolate with strawberry and bananas as my toppings. The waffle was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy in the inside. Being able to customize your topping was the absolute best! The staff there was amazing and the sweetest!!!
As a French person I can say with confidence that this crêperie is 100% legit! I always order a Parisian Crêpe (aka Ham & Cheese) wherever I go because that’s my favorite combo and their Parisian Crêpe is hands down my favorite!!! The melted Brie and Dijon mustard are what makes it different. They add so much depth and flavor to the crêpe (thinking about it makes me drool!) My niece had their Chicken Florentine Crêpe (which was packed to the brim!) and a Mango Peach Smoothie, which I had a bite and sip of, and the Dill & Chive sauce in the crêpe was delicious! I also tried their Ham & Cheese Croissant Sandwich, Caramel Latte, Fraise Classic Crêpe, and Strawberry Basil Lemonade, which were all very good! This place is very generous with their portions (you will be full!) without being too over the top or overwhelming and their ingredients are fresh and of quality. This establishment is ran by a man and a woman (who prepares every crêpe herself so you can definitely taste the love and care in each crêpe!) They are both very sweet and make the place feel homey. I would 1000% recommend this café and will definitely be back!
After stopping by, this is my favorite brunch spot in Fullerton to get crepes and desserts! The owners are really kind and helpful. Everything in the menu is very delicious and my favorite was the Bonjour Crepe which was so yummy with the garlic sauce. You also have to try the creme brulee! I love how big the portion is and it’s perfect for desert. If you’re ever thinking of grabbing brunch in the area, this is a great spot!
Love this place so much. The owner is so kind too. The baked goods were so yummy and fresh. The Dubai crepe was delicious not too sweet. The BEST crepes were my favorite. The mocha frappe, strawberry banana smoothie, and mango lemonade all on point. Recommend this place to anyone if looking for a breakfast or lunch spot.
I’ve spent YEARSSSS trying the best crepes all around OC and this place just might take the title for the highest-quality and most-balanced crepes in socal. A lot of places in OC take the easy route and give you thin, watery crepes with fruit that’s been sitting out for hours and then slam it with an ungodly amount of nutella to make up for it. This place is not one of those. I had the Fraise Classic (hazelnut, strawberries, bananas) and the crepe itself was very high quality. They must have a good recipe for the batter because it made thick enough crepes while also getting a desirable crust. The nutella amount was perfect and they use FRESH FRUIT! I didn’t know how much of a difference this makes but I learned today when I had this crepe. Super fresh strawberries and cut just like you would at home. Would totally recommend for anyone who loves a good crepe. Oh and they had these super good pancake minis drizzled with chocolate that also had FRESH FRUIT. I’m sure anything is good here with how high quality my food experience was.
When I hear crepes, I would think about sweet crepe with nutella, whip cream and fresh fruits. Never thought savory crepes exists until I came to Fraise. They have mastered both, sweet and savory crepes all the way. For the savory crepes, I ordered the Norwegian, which comes in samoked salmon, tomatoes, onions , spring mix , capers and the dll sauce. You will only think smoked salmon only goes with bagels, but suprisingly does very well with crepe! I love the dill sauce! Since i really like the dill . I also ordered the chicken florentine. comes with mushroom, chicken, swiss, spinach, onions with dill sauce! It is my absolutely favorite. Sweet crepe, I ordered the Dubai Chocolate Crepe. It was my first time of trying dubai style anything. besides the chocoate, they also added strawberry and banans. It was hands down, so delicious and satisied my sweet craving. It was erfectly sweetened with the fresh strawberry and bananas. you can also taste the crunch from the shredded filo. I also ordered the new item on the menu, the tuna salad croissant sandwich, best tuna salad I've had. tuna salad is not overwhelming and heavy wrapped in a freshly made croissant. Don't forget to check out the drinks menu, especially the seasonal drinks that they have. there's also smoothie and shakes if you're not a coffee drinker. This is a absolute hidden gem in the Fullerton area. Beautiful decoration. Legit Mom and Pop owned, All receipes are made from scratched. You see the owner gets down making those delicious crepes. I highly recommend this to everyone !!
Fraise in Fullerton deserves every bit of recognition it has, including being named one of Yelp’s Top 100 Coffee Shops in America. It’s a family-owned restaurant and you can immediately feel the care, precision, and intention in everything they make. Every dish feels curated thoughtfully, with flavors that balance and complement each other perfectly. The location is great, right by the university and open until 12am, making it an amazing late-night study spot. They also offer a morning special from 6:30am to 9:30am for $9.95 (and $8.95 for students), which is such a good deal. We ordered the Dubai Crepe and it was incredible: sweet, delicate, and perfectly balanced. The sandwiches were light but filling, and the drinks were just as impressive. The Cyclops smoothie is perfect after a workout, especially since Fraise is conveniently located next to EOS Gym. It’s made with avocado, spinach, apple, bananas, and oat milk its super refreshing and satisfying. The husband-and-wife owners are so kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Overall, we had such a great time here. Everything was delicious, the atmosphere is warm, and it’s absolutely worth trying. Worth every bite and then some.
Just had an amazing experience at Fraise Cafe. I had the All American apple crepe and it was heavenly - the apples are made fresh in-house (no canned apples here!), perfectly caramelized. Also tried the smoked salmon crepe and chicken salad croissant sandwich. I can tell why the chicken salad is one of their best sellers. So tasty! We washed it all down with the Violet Blue Lemonade (so refreshing!) and a Raspberry Cream Chai that was super comforting - and made in-house, too! Service was friendly and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend for a lovely brunch or lunch!
The crepes here are huge, packed with ingredients, and so delicious! The chicken salad sandwich was great too! It had a generous amount of chicken salad. The salmon crepe was loaded with salmon, which I've honestly never seen before, so l highly recommend it:) The Dubai style crepe is amazing as well as it has tons of kataifi inside. The place has a cozy vibe.
Tried Fraise Cafe and it was so good! We got the Mediterranean, Dubai, and Bonjour crepes and loved all of them. I had the chai and my husband got the strawberry basil drink. Both were super refreshing and really good. Food came out quick, everything tasted fresh, and the place is super cute. Great spot if you’re craving crepes. Will be back for sure.
I ordered the Norwegian, the Fraisé Classic, and the Bonjour Crêpe, and every single item delivered. The ingredients tasted fresh, the flavors were well balanced, and nothing felt overly sweet or heavy, which is honestly hard to find with desserts and crêpes. The Norwegian was perfectly layered and rich without being overwhelming. The Fraisé Classic really let the strawberries shine, fresh, bright, and flavorful, without relying on excessive sugar. The Bonjour Crêpe was soft, light, and beautifully made, with a great texture that held up to the toppings without getting soggy. We also tried the seasonal peppermint mocha, which was so good. It wasn’t overly minty, was perfectly chocolatey, and made for a great drink to share. The strawberry basil smoothie really stood out as well. It was very unique and refreshing, with the basil adding a subtle, unexpected twist that paired surprisingly well with the natural sweetness of the strawberries. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the presentation and the quality of ingredients. Everything felt intentional, from the flavors to the way it was served. It’s the kind of place where you can taste the difference between something thoughtfully made and something rushed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dessert spot that feels elevated but still comforting. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.
Loved Fraise Café! Cozy, charming space with a great menu of fresh, nutritious lunch options plus indulgent treats. The brown sugar latte and toasted marshmallow cold brew were delicious, and the crepes and chicken salad croissant were fresh, flavorful, and filling. Shoutout to Alma and Aubrey for the great service and for making amazing crepes. Highly recommend for brunch, lunch, or a coffee date — I’ll definitely be back!
Wow, my favorite breakfast experience in a while! The atmosphere, service, and tastiness of a wide range of breakfast items were all immaculate. With items to satisfy both the savory AND sweet lover (as truthfully, I’m slightly more of a savory gal - but still adored all the desserts at Fraise!), I guarantee that anybody’s cravings will be satisfied. The items I ordered, in order of preference: 1. the ham + cheese croissant (sooo buttery, flaky, and generous on the ham and cheese - truly a phenomenal homemade pastry). 2. the ham + cheese crepe (which was paired alongside a phenomenal, bright mojo-like garlic sauce). 3. the classic Nutella crepe (strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream. 4. Dubai chocolate pancakes. 5. pumpkin spice chai latte - slightly watered down by my tastes, but probably could’ve been avoided had I requested lighter ice. 6. mango smoothie (very refreshing!). The owners are a sweet husband-and-wife duo, and I’m always very happy to support a local mom and pop. The interior is quiet, calm, comfortable, clean, and cozy. There were a few brunch meetings as well as study sessions going on. I’ll be back for more when in the north OC area! IG: @dawntc
Fraise Café – Fullerton | 5/5 stars!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Come to Fraise if you’re looking for a sweet orsavory treat that feels both homemade and thoughtfully prepared! This cozy café is a hidden gem where every dish tastes fresh and made with care. You can build your own crepe, waffle, or drink, or choose from their creative premade options—it’s a great spot whether you’re craving dessert or a light meal. We had such a wonderful experience talking with the owner, Hassan—he’s genuinely one of the kindest people you’ll meet! His wife and the rest of the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, which made our visit feel so personal. You can tell they pour a lot of love into what they do. All the ingredients here are freshly prepped in-house, and even the waffle batter is homemade! That care really shines through in every bite. We tried the Dubai Chocolate Waffles, which were absolutely delightful—light, fluffy, and perfectly crisp on the edges. They came topped with smooth chocolate, a drizzle of rich sauce that balanced sweetness with a mild cocoa depth, and fresh fruit that added a bright, refreshing note. It’s indulgent but never overwhelming. The Build-Your-Own Savory Crepe was also a standout! The crepe itself had that ideal balance of soft and slightly crisp texture, letting the fillings take center stage. We loaded ours with spinach, mozzarella, and savory chicken, and the flavors were perfectly balanced—melty, warm, and satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s the kind of meal that hits the spot for breakfast or lunch. We also enjoyed the Salted Caramel Cold Brewand the Strawberry Matcha Kiss, which were both beautifully presented and not too sweet. The matcha was whisked to perfection and topped with luscious cream—so smooth and layered in flavor! If you’re anywhere near Fullerton, come support this wonderful local business. Between the amazing food, welcoming owners, and cozy vibe, you honestly won’t be disappointed. 💕
I’m still thinking about the delicious crepes I had. 😋✨ The Mediterranean savory crepe was so flavorful, and the Dubai Style Classic sweet crepe was absolutely mouthwatering 🤤. The Creppucini was so unique and fun to try! 🥤 The green smoothie was super refreshing and packed with nutrients 💚, and I couldn’t stop sipping the Dirty Chai Latte ☕️ — they even make their own chai in-house! 🙌 💫 They can make vegan and gluten-free batter if you call ahead. I can’t wait to go back and try more crepes!
Praise Cafe is a delightful little place. This isn't a pancake and eggs shop, if that's whaat you are looking for. It is a great place for crepes and some croissant sandwiches. Pricing is around $20 per person. We had three items, 2 wraps, I and a chicken croissant. We shared around the table, and we all agreed that everything was delicious. The service was equally satisfying. The staff was pleasant and attentive, despite being very busy. As for atmosphere, seating is limited. There isn't a lot of charm, but it is clear, well lit, and comfortable. 👍👍
Frase is such a gem here in Fullerton! The crepes are big, beautifully made, and you can really tell they use great-quality ingredients. Everything looked and tasted delicious — but my absolute favorite was the Dubai chocolate crepe. Oh my god, it was amazing… honestly one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! Also, Sam (the manager) is super nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely recommend this spot if you love good crepes and cozy vibes!
A friend and I went for dinner the other evening. There is plenty of parking available in the shopping center the restaurant is located in. The restaurant itself is small but charming with lots of seating available. We started with a strawberry basil lemonade and a peach paradise. Both were cool and refreshing. We ordered two savory crepes. First, a Norwegian crepe filled with smoked salmon, onions, capers, spring mix and a dill-chive sauce. It was a large crepe and was very delicious and filling. We also got a pizza crepe that had marinara sauce, mozzarella, onions, olives and pepperoni. The crepe was soft and delicious and perfect for the pizza ingredients. Even though we had no room for dessert, we got a Dubai style crepe filled with bananas and strawberries. It was topped with chocolate sauce and a pistachio cream. Amazingly delicious and a perfect way to end the meal. We want to come back and try their breakfast offerings.
Really great spot in Fullerton! The crepes here are huge and made with top-quality ingredients — you can taste the difference. I tried the Dubai chocolate crepe and it was out of this world, seriously one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. The Belgian waffle was also amazing — crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfectly done. Sam, the manager, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into crepes or sweet treats!

Great spot for a weekend brunch! Food was delicious and both the sweet and savory crepes were amazing, and the strawberry basil smoothie is very refreshing! Conveniently located near CSUF!
I Went with my family, food was amazing, especially the chicken salad croissant which was rich and flavorful paired with an iced mocha. We also enjoyed the crêpes, tea and drinks they offered. The service was amazing and will definitely be going back as we wish to try every item they offer.
Fraise Cafe is the best cafe spot in Fullerton! Their team is one of the most wonderful groups of people with amazing hospitality. The food here is 100% top notch, leaving you full and satisfied! If you haven't been here you're missing out!!
💎 HIDDEN GEM! 🥭 Passion Mango Blast - refreshing tropical flavors, great on a hot day! 🥤 Dates Smoothie - Refreshing on a hot day! Not too sweet, just right! 🇳🇴 Norwegian Crepe - Smoked salmon, spring lettuce mix, tomatoes, red onion, capers, dill & chive sauce. One of the best smoked salmon crepes I have ever had! The smoked salmon is top quality and the dill & chive sauce is to die for! 🥗 Mediterranean Chickpea Salad - garbanzo beans, cucumbers, yellow bell peppers, red onion, garlic, lemon juice, feta cheese, olive oil. It's great on the side or even to eat for lunch. It's filling with the garbanzo beans and lots of crunchy texture from the fresh bell pepper and onion. The feta they use is soft and not too salty. 🇦🇪 Dubai Style Classic Crepe - Pistachio cream, chocolate, whipped cream, strawberries, banana, shredded phyllo. This is my first experience with the Dubai chocolate craze. This is one of the best sweet crepes I have ever had! The pistachio cream and chocolate are a perfect pairing. The crunchy phyllo inside and on top is just amazing! The strawberries and bananas add another layer of flavor and freshness!
We got the dubai style classic crepe, mediterranean crepe, the ham croissant, a latte, and the banana strawberry smoothie. the dubai style crepe was our favorite: the first bite was SO good, especially the crispy flakes and the pistachio drizzle crème. it's really big and shareable size. the mediterranean crepe was on the savory side, the eggplant and jalapeños balance each other out and it was declious. the ham croissant was also good, easy breakfast pair with the latte! the strawberry banana was amazing. it's so fresh and all the items are not overly sweet which makes you keep wanting to eat it! would definitely be back to try other items on the menu. it was worth the 40 min drive from LA ! lastly, both the owner and staff were friendly and attentive.
As a mango junkie, I approve of their refreshing passion mango blast. Their chai latte is sweet, lightly spiced, and creamy to sip. Now, If you’re craving for more sweetness, then the hot chocolate is the ideal choice. The main event is the Dubai style crepe. It’s filled with Strawberries, Bananas, Pistachio Cream and Chocolate. Very decadent and nutty in flavor. The chicken florentine is a savory crepe with Chicken, Swiss cheese, Mushrooms, Spinach, Onions, and Dill-Chives Sauce. I can see why it’s a local favorite. Finally, the bonjour crepe brings Eggs, Ham, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, and Garlic Cilantro Sauce. It’s the garlic lovers choice.

# Pho Olivia: Un Viaje Culinario al Corazón de Ladera Ranch
Ladera Ranch, un enclave residencial conocido por su ambiente familiar y su meticulosa planificación, esconde entre sus calles un tesoro culinario que promete transportar a sus visitantes a los vibrantes paisajes de Vietnam: Pho Olivia. Aunque su dirección exacta y los detalles específicos de su menú son un misterio que solo la visita desvelará, su presencia en esta comunidad sugiere una adición significativa a la oferta gastronómica local, un refugio para quienes buscan la autenticidad y el confort de la cocina vietnamita, especialmente del icónico plato que le da nombre.
Este artículo se sumerge en la esencia de Pho Olivia, no solo como un restaurante, sino como un punto de encuentro entre culturas, una puerta de entrada al fascinante mundo del pho y una pieza clave en el mosaico de la vida en Ladera Ranch. A través de la historia, la cultura y la experiencia de este plato universal, exploraremos cómo Pho Olivia se integra y enriquece la vida de sus residentes y visitantes.
Para comprender la importancia de Pho Olivia, primero debemos apreciar el legado del pho. Este plato, sinónimo de la cocina vietnamita, es mucho más que una simple sopa de fideos; es un símbolo de identidad nacional, un consuelo para el alma y una compleja sinfonía de sabores.
El origen exacto del pho es objeto de debate, pero la mayoría de los historiadores culinarios coinciden en que surgió a principios del siglo XX en el norte de Vietnam, específicamente en la región de Hanói. Se cree que su desarrollo fue influenciado por la colonización francesa y la introducción de la carne de res en la dieta vietnamita, así como por la sopa de fideos china. La palabra "pho" en sí misma podría derivar de la palabra francesa "feu" (fuego), en referencia al "pot-au-feu", un guiso de carne francés, o de los fideos "fun" chinos.
Inicialmente, el pho se vendía en puestos callejeros ambulantes, donde los vendedores llevaban sus ollas humeantes y sus ingredientes frescos a cuestas. Con el tiempo, su popularidad creció exponencialmente, extendiéndose por todo Vietnam y adaptándose a los gustos regionales. El pho del norte (Phở Bắc) es conocido por su caldo claro y su enfoque en la pureza del sabor de la carne y los fideos, mientras que el pho del sur (Phở Nam) tiende a ser más dulce, con una mayor variedad de hierbas frescas y acompañamientos como brotes de soja, chiles y limón.
La diáspora vietnamita, especialmente después de la Guerra de Vietnam, llevó el pho a todos los rincones del mundo, convirtiéndolo en uno de los platos asiáticos más reconocidos y queridos a nivel global. Cada restaurante que sirve pho, incluido Pho Olivia, se convierte en un embajador de esta rica tradición, compartiendo un pedazo de la historia y la cultura vietnamita con su comunidad.
El corazón de cualquier buen pho reside en su caldo, un elixir dorado que requiere horas de lenta cocción. Tradicionalmente, este caldo se elabora con huesos de res (para el pho de res o phở bò) o huesos de pollo (para el pho de pollo o phở gà), a los que se añaden especias tostadas. Las especias son cruciales y suelen incluir anís estrellado, canela, clavo, cardamomo negro, semillas de cilantro e hinojo. El jengibre y la cebolla, asados hasta caramelizarse, aportan dulzura y profundidad. La sal, el azúcar de roca y el nuoc mam (salsa de pescado) son los condimentos finales que equilibran y realzan cada nota de sabor.
Los fideos de arroz, conocidos como "bánh phở", son otro componente esencial. Deben ser frescos, ligeramente masticables y con la anchura adecuada para absorber el caldo sin deshacerse. La carne, ya sea de res o pollo, se prepara con esmero. Para el phở bò, las opciones son variadas: desde la carne cruda finamente laminada (tái) que se cocina con el calor del caldo, hasta el pecho de res estofado (nạm), el tendón (gân), el librillo (sách) o las albóndigas de res (bò viên). Cada corte ofrece una textura y un sabor únicos que contribuyen a la complejidad del plato.
Finalmente, los acompañamientos frescos son indispensables. Un plato de pho no está completo sin un generoso surtido de hierbas aromáticas como albahaca tailandesa, cilantro, menta, cebolletas y chiles en rodajas. Los brotes de soja frescos, rodajas de limón o lima, y salsas como la sriracha y la hoisin permiten a cada comensal personalizar su experiencia, ajustando el nivel de picante, acidez y dulzura a su gusto.
