Chocolat Hillcrest

Rare 5/5 for what I'd characterize as leaning to French cuisine and bakery. First large glass of fresh squeezed orange juice with pulp, sweetness and thick texture all (so a pleasant surprise not like another restaurant not soon after the complete bitter, tart, flat, watery opposite). Ok maybe the second time in my life for crepes and was asked how I wanted the eggs cooked (I thought scrambled for crepes was the only option) plus a proper amount of gooey chewy slighly sweet (but not Wisconsin fresh chew squeaky) cheese yum. The right size food portion with sufficiently thin wrapper (you will like it Ricky Bobby). Other food was iron skillet omelette with chicken and mushroom- huge portion. We viewed the bakery display but did not partake. So we came for brunch and the place was getting busier as our stay progressed. Later that day drove by dinner time and significantly busier. Now the place is located in youth popular Hillcrest not too far from U of San Diego and other establishme

5 stars for the delicious crepes but minus one star for inflated prices and a super loud environment. When staff were barely a foot in front of me I still couldn't hear them over the din of the crowd in there. But the crepes... I mean holy crepe. We weren't even really hungry when we went in but when we took our first bites of crepe it was clear we weren't going to be able to stop ourselves from clearing the plate. Simply delicious and a wonderful balance of sweetness without being overwhelmingly sweet. It's hard to explain. But they were great. I highly suggest them.

Best crepes I’ve had in SD thus far! Espresso is excellent. Gelato is sweet and creamy, very rich in flavor. Highly recommend!
