The greatly expanded menu was a great surprise! Loved all the new choices bordering on gourmet selections. Fabiola was an awesome waitress and made several appropriate suggestions which we appreciated. Kiki, the manager, was friendly and appreciative of our comments. Overall a very positive experience. Can't wait to try it again. View all feedback.
What SD Racer doesn't like about The Crest Cafe:
YUCK! If you don’t like eating black human hair and scorched/charred food then stay away from the Crest Cafe. The Crest Cafe is an aweful place to dine. I have had my food burnt on several occasions when I specifically requested it not to be… they have burned my orders many times.

Good dinner food! Nice staff. It’s nothing special but a solid meal.
We went for breakfast. It is a smaller old fashioned looking dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. We split a vegetarian omelet with added spinach. Of course you have to get the hash browns. The service was great. The food came out quick, hot, and already split on two plates (nice touch). This is one of good breakfast places in the area.
Great breakfast place, food,service , mimosas,excellent!!!
Cool little spot in Hillcrest. Very good food, lots of choices. I'll be back.
Crest Cafe is a cute little diner in Hillcrest gayborhood of San Diego. I will admit it was my second choice after my first had a long weight, but still being a little sick, I was pleased with the comfort food provided. On a Sunday night, it looked like they only had one staff member on the floor. So, it took him some time to attend to all the customers, but he was very nice. I was not in a hurry. The menu has a lot of options, as any good diner would, but I had zeroed in on the “Not Your Grandma’s Chicken Pot Pie” before I even arrived. So, that is what I ordered with coffee and a water. The pot pie came with a salad, which was well made, and the basil vinaigrette I chose was very good. The pot pie lived up to the name with a pretty spicy white wine sauce and red bell peppers to give you kind if a chicken mushroom soup base. The crust was flakey and delicious. I cleaned my plate.
