Amazing Gf crepes and warm drinks! Everything here is gluten free and vegan options available too if preferred. We got the banana, chocolate and whipped cream crepe with a matcha latte to wash it down. The crepe was huge and delicious!! And honestly the best matcha latte I’ve ever had. They also offer savoury crepes and gf beer.

I recommend making a stop here if you’re in the area. The shop is small with limited seating but take away is available too.

Amazing, amazing, delicious Crapes!!! My family and I got several types and loved them all! Ham and Cheese (savory with crispy lettuce), Smoked Salmon and Cream cheese (subbing for a poppy seed crape added an amazing texture), Raspberry and Chocolate (adding the whipped cream was a great move), Banana and Chocolate a classic and absolutely fantastic. Amazing staff, the ladies make everything to order and speak English well. Limited seating and ingredients, if they sell out they will close early. Thank you so much for an amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend!

So sooooo soooo good!

The employees are very sweet and everything is gluten free. I ate the Salmond and creme cheese crepe with a coffee and everything was 10/10, heavenly. We received our crepe pretty quickly too.

They taste AMAZING.

I’m not even gluten free, my partner is. But this is a must-visit for gluten and non-gluten free visitors alike. I had a savoury guacamole one and my partner chocolate banana and both hit the spot

I’d been looking for gf sweet treats across Japan as they are generally tricky to come by. This shop is amazing! The crepes are some of the best I’ve ever had (even before I was diagnosed with celiac)! So crispy! The staff are wonderful, accommodating, kind, and speak great English. Highly recommend!!

My daughter has been looking at all the crepe places through our travels in Japan hoping for gluten free but has found none….until we came to Kyoto. Tried Waco Crepes - absolutely delicious (and huge). Lovely service and one of the staff also spoke very good English, which was a bonus. Great coffee too.

Cute spot and the staff speaks good English and they were super sweet. Just a heads up they use certified gluten free oats in the crepe. I’m sensitive to oats (even the gf kind) so I skipped it.

All I can say is WOW!!!! The crepes were delicious. We tried one evening and they were so good that we had to go back and try some more. I think we tried 6 or more different varieties and all were amazing. The staff was super friendly. A definite must for anyone GF (or not GF as well). They also have many vegan options.

The savory crepes are so good we love these, we had the ham and cheese with a poppyseed crepe the first time we went. The second time we had the ham and cheese and after had sweet crepes. Chocolate and raspberry, and chocolate, banana, whipped cream. They were so delicious!! Love this place. They also have very yummy drinks ginger ales and gluten free lemon beer.

Hands down one of our favorite stops in Japan. Gluten free eaters will find Waco’s crepes a revelation. It was one of our favorite spots. Try the cream cheese and smoked salmon in a poppy seed crepe. High marks to the banana chocolate too.

Really great texture a consistency, which we all know is extremely difficult for gluten free baked goods. They do both dessert and savory crepes. A little expensive, but definitely still worth the walk over after sightseeing.

Very small and a bit slow so don’t go if you are in a hurry. However the crepes are fantastic. I shared a ham and cheese crepe with my husband and then we each got a dessert crepe. OMG the banana and chocolate crepe was insanely good.

Very small but great service, everything could be made gluten free and there is a selection of gluten free beer, the owner also gave tips of more exciting places to go that are good for gluten-free, it was down a road which looks like any other street but walk a little way down and you will find some amazing crepes.

Love this place, dedicated GF. The crepes are delicious!! I highly recommend the smoked salmon and cream cheese crepe. I went there every day during my stay in Kyoto - the crepes are nice and crispy, you would never think they’re gluten free.

I highly recommend this place !

Everything is gluten free and the crepes are so good. A little bit pricier than regular crepe stores but they are generous with the fillings. You can also make most crepes vegan/lactose free by substituting vegan cheese or soy whipped cream.

Wow! Such an adorable little place! Tucked away on a tiny street, Waco Crepes was very warm and inviting. There was already a family of 5 there when we arrived, so our family of 6 was cramped into the back of the store until they were finished. The staff was very gracious and apologetic. The crepes were amazing! I had the banana whipped cream, my daughter the cinnamon whipped cream, and hubby got the salmon cream cheese. All were adorably presented in a cardboard cone with a personal message written on back. They also offered soy whipped cream and vegan cheese, if needed. It was worth seeking this little place out. Highly recommend!
