James Davenport

Walked in on a random Wednesday morning at 11am. Was greeted as a friend would greet me. Warm and inviting. The service was quick, friendly and deficient. The restaurant was clean. Wasn’t very busy but it was a Wednesday. The food was hot fresh and delicious. I got the large breakfast platter and was way more food than I could …

Freddy van der Schyff

Excellent service and food , meals are a really good size we shared the breakfast burito. Was walking by and recommended by locals. Great recommendation.

Grace Johnson

Great food, great service, great establishment that’s been here for 43 years and we need to continue to support!

Todd

I was a frequent diner at Crest Cafe when I lived in the neighborhood in the 1990s. On a visit we thought we’d try it since it was right around the corner from where we stayed. I was pleasantly surprised that it remains so good after all these years. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and taken to …

Tre' Grisby

Crest Cafe, a local greasy spoon in San Diego, offers an outstanding dining experience of classic American comfort food and exceptional service! My server was amazing! Thank you for working with me. They have a some vegetarian options. I had the breakfast but looks like lunch and breakfast are served all-day.

Steven Straus

This is actually a really good place to have breakfast here if you are ever here in San Diego for whatever reason. The pancakes I ate were really delicious. The hard boiled eggs I ate were delicious too. I highly recommend them if you are here in the city. I give them 5 stars ⭐️

Russell J.

This is a great place for comfort food. A lot of locals come here. It's got a great vibe inside and on the patio. I tried the Midwest Madness which is pancakes with bits of bacon mixed in. These are tasty but a bit rich with the bacon. The buttermilk cakes are excellent, light and fluffy. So I'll probably order …

Christine Abdelnour

We enjoyed the Thanksgiving prefix meal and it was absolutely delicious featuring succulent turkey, stuffing and vegetables. Unbelievably my 87 year old husband and 85 year old BIL ordered breakfast because they love Crest's lemon ricotta pancakes and the marmalade stuffed French toast!

Josh Baltazar

The main reason for trying this food was because way back in the day, Guy Fieri came here so we ordered what he ordered! We got the Butter Burger (Half pound of ground beef stuffed with garlic, tarragon, basil & parsley butter. Topped with cheddar cheese and garlic mayonnaise) with a side of onion rings and the Creme Brulee French …

Beullah Escalante

Neighborhood OG. Came here for brunch and it did not disappoint. I got the crab caked benedict while my partner ALWAYS gets the dish with chimichurri. The drinks are really great as well. We went on a rainy day so I got the hot coco and it had such a great deep flavor.
