Millet Crepe

If a creme brulee and a crepe had a baby, you’d end up with the masterpieces from Millet Crepe. This Little Tokyo shop serves viral Japanese desserts filled with a thick vanilla custard that’s been torched long enough to form a caramelized sugar shell that cracks on impact. It sits in a soft, thin pancake wrapped up like a cone, which holds its shape surprisingly well against the caramelized sugar syrup that inevitably drips down the side. The original version leans a bit rich, but you can add some strawberries to balance it out. Wait times at their Sawtelle location are consistently long, but the Millet Crepe in Little Tokyo offers a much quicker, smoother experience.
