Chocolat Hillcrest - S San Diego

I found this place on social media the food was amazing !! I 100% recommend to everyone

Good Food, Good Service, but Seating is Small. Doors left open and it was too Cold inside.

This is the cutest little shop! We popped in for a gelato and chocolate chai. OMG..so yummy!!! There are so many more tasty treats to try, and they have a full menu as well. We can't wait to visit again.

Review only applies to the coffee, pastries and crepes. The coffee game here is pretty mid. Maybe Starbucks quality, or slightly above. If you are seeking quality “third wave” coffee beverages, you’re MUCH better off going to Figaro just around the corner. I’ve tried the latte, which was fine but unremarkable and with really nothing that qualifies as “latte art”. I’ve also tried their signature triple-layer beverage, forget the name, but it was underwhelming and I would not order it again nor recommend it. The pastry experience was similarly average, and tastes very bulk-ordered. I tried the chocolate croissant, and it was not remotely resembling the flaky, French delicacy I was hoping for. Certainly not terrible, but basically grocery-story bakery quality. The crepes, however, are fantastic. Prepared quickly and with generous toppings, they were as good as any specialty creperie. The coffees are really pretty average, but the super friendly service, fair prices and amazing crepes merit that fourth star. Will try the pastas next time around.

Great place to grab a quick but special bite to eat. Excellent food and drinks, great location at the nexus of two major walking streets.
