- Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014A diner lover's dream: Open from 7 am to midnight. Breakfast served all day and night. Guy loved the Butter Burger and the Creme Brulee French Toast. Read more
Rebecca StarkAugust 20, 2017Everything was fine wait staff is gnarly. Don't sit outside homeless people come up to the table often. Good toast. $3.50 extra to add fruit. Omlette s huge and v good. Salads fresh!
Luke WangMarch 26, 2016Went on a Monday and there were barely anybody there. The service was friendly and the food is hearty. Especially love their fries they are so crispy and good.
WilletteJune 26, 2015Craziness burger around... butter burger! The brioche bun is perfectly golden. The homemade potato chips were perfectly crispy. Perfect after beach spot!
Crest Cafe remains a great, reliable place that stays open until midnight. It's my favorite place to go after a movie or play.
Timothy HongOctober 5, 2016Nice atmosphere, standard diner fare. Omelettes are huge. I got the veggie, it was fine. Might be back if I'm in the mood for hash browns. Their fruit side is mostly cantaloupe.
San Diego's Bowl GamesDecember 8, 2010Serving Hillcrest hearty healthy comfort food since 1982! Breakfast lunch & dinner menus 7am-midnight daily! Early bird breakfast special from 7-10AM. 1/2 price desserts w/entree on Thurs evenings!
Kenneth BallardOctober 28, 2016It's all good, I just said, "I'll eat what whatever you bring me." I got the pastrami sandwich!
- Stephanie PhamNovember 2, 2012I go here for the East Texas Fried Chicken and 10% cashback on my bill since I'm a member of their free loyalty program, MOGL. http://mo.gl/sdfour
Agnieszka SzmetelingOctober 28, 2016Thought the food was good, I felt it was a little dirty. The tables need to be wiped, the floor swept and mopped and the walls could have used a coat of fresh paint.
Dave LeeApril 19, 2015Breakfast is awesome. Try the chicken waffles but don't plan on lunch afterwards!
Kyle TurnerOctober 5, 2011If you like Mozzarella Cheese Sticks, get the Fried Mozzarella! You'll be in for a good surprise and real treat! I love it!
Order the Morning Scramble Sandwich on a croissant with fruit. You won't be disappointed!!
Treat yourself to the Cabo Quesadilla. You're welcome.
3 raisin French toast soooo good. Also try the Mac & cheese with bacon chicken n broccoli.
Try the Grilled Veggie Sandwich on sourdough with brie cheese instead of the bun and cheddar.
Anne StapletonDecember 26, 2012Excellent menu choices, delicious food and friendly server. We will be back.
Toshi TajimaJune 4, 2012The chocolate croissant bread pudding is crazy good. We love breakfast here too.
RJ DyerMarch 15, 2015Non busy Saturday evening. Poor service from the door. So much more to say but I'll leave it at horrible customer service. Didn't even order food. Won't be back. Won't say a nice thing.
Jonathan AizenDecember 30, 2016Not family friendly. Turned away for having a stroller. Staff was rude, disrespectful, unkind, and senseless.
Renee BrownJune 6, 2010Best place for breakfast or brunch...food is amazing...try the french toast or an omelet (my fave is the Robinson omelet). Happy eating.- Weekday early bird breakfast includes coffee or tea $7.95
- Chicken Picata was great and some of best mashed potatoes I have ever eaten. I'll be back!
Ask for the Jalapeño Fettucini. It is on their secret menu.
Food here is delicious. Their sandwiches are delicious, especially with a side of chips.

justine dantocNovember 12, 2011veggie breakfast mess is super filling.Thier apple juice is my favorite
Order the Mexican hot chocolate. You won't be disapppinted.
Salmon omlette is goooood w cottage cheese & tomato!
I've been here 30 times and never been able to unlock the "loyalty" special. Very disappointing :(
Go to Crest Cafe while hungover and order The Hangover, AKA the best damn omelet in town.
