Stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed a croissant and a cappuccino.

We wandered into this place because the trendier brunch places in Hillcrest all had obscene wait times. But after our meal at Chocolat, I'm not sure why anyone would go anywhere else. My particular favorites included the savory veal ragu crepe and the revelatory banana and Nutella crepe. I was itching to go back the next day!

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 establishments targeting that market and yuppiedom. This place is a bit eclectic for the bulk of them but is clearly serving a niche beyond the traditional pub so an anomaly and complements the area variety well. I would normally see a restaurant as this in/near a fashion mall but the foot traffic here is probably better and broader appeal.The service was polite and professional which for this cuisine and customer base as expected. There was a family including toddler so the restaurant can accommodare a customer age range, not just adults.Would return again.

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

Amazing food and fantastic service.

Stopped by for some dessert after eating out at a restaurant in Hillcrest. Had some créme brûlée, and it tasted sublime. Friendly staff and coherent interior design as well as presentation.

My favorite spot for crapes ! They have a nice variety of deserts. Delicious gelato, cakes , cookies , etc. Staff super friendly and the place neat and clean. Better that the one in downtown

Amazing lunch the food was great and the truffles were so pretty and delicious! Definitely will be back.

The good: for this location the price of food was good. The variety of food that they offer was good almost confusing. Gelato is good here.The bad: we were sat in the foyer it wasn't the best place.The ugly: the boar was not good, it tasted old had to use catchup, seemed like they were short staffed and as if servers didn't know what they were suggesting.
