Walked in and were greeted with a smile, even though it was 9:45pm and they closed at 10. We ordered the crepe with Nutella & banana with salted caramel ice cream - was delicious. Pricey- cost over $20- but was fun first stop in San Diego from the airport. Service was friendly, street parking was easy that time of night.

Service was amazing from the moment we walked in we were greeted by multiple employees. They were kind enough to let us sample the delicious Gelato. Once we got sampling the Gelato we picked our flavors and they did not hold back on the scoops. The Gelato is probably one of the best I had in the area.

I've been here a dozen or more times in the last several years and the food, coffee, mimosas, port and desserts are always delicious. My French friend loves their crepes, and my favorite is the boar sausage omelette, with eggs Benedict a close second. The customer service is consistently excellent. Breakfast time is a hidden gem for fantastic food without a huge crush like Hash House or something. Cappuccinos and espressos top it off perfectly. One of my fav SD restaurants. Parking garage across street under Perlman Clinic if you don't want street parking.

I struggled with this rating. Between a 3 and 4. WE got a pizza, stuffed manicotti, and a crepe. The pizza was the best--prosciutto and mushrooms topped with arugula. Delicious. The manicotti was underwhelming. The pasta itself was a little undercooked, and it was fresh made pasta! The sauce was plain, tomatoes, but no seasoning or flavor. The crepe was just fine. The service was great!

Food so good they need a hotel so you can catch a nap after eating and rubbing yo belly!!?? We ordered lots of different options, it was 8 of us and we literally ate each other’s food lol. The desserts were melt in your mouth fabulous! I’m purposely not mentioning what we had because you need to try it alllllllll!!!!
A little overpriced for their goods. Can get the same thing for under $3 that they charge $6

From the moment I stepped into Chocola at Hillcrest, I knew I was in for a treat. This culinary gem, nestled in the heart of Hillcrest, offers an unparalleled dining experience that tantalizes the taste buds and warms the soul. My visit to Chocola was nothing short of magical, marked by exquisite dishes, delectable desserts, and impeccable customer service that set a new gold standard for fine dining.As I entered Chocola, I was immediately greeted by the warm and inviting ambiance that promised an evening of comfort and indulgence. The staff welcomed me with genuine smiles and attentiveness, showcasing their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction from the get-go. Their recommendations were spot-on, guiding me through a menu brimming with innovative creations and classic favorites, all crafted with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients.The dinner commenced with an array of appetizers that were both visually stunning and bursting with flavor, setting the stage for the culinary masterpiece that was to unfold. Each dish was a testament to the chef's artistry and passion for food, perfectly balanced and infused with unique combinations of flavors that danced on the palate. The main course was a revelation, with each bite more delightful than the last, embodying the essence of fine dining.However, it was the dessert that truly stole the show. Chocola at Hillcrest has rightfully earned its reputation for crafting some of the most exquisite desserts imaginable, and my experience was no exception. The dessert menu was a masterpiece of creativity, with each option more tempting than the last. I indulged in a creation that was not only a feast for the eyes but an explosion of flavors that lingered long after the last bite, leaving me in awe of the culinary wizardry at Chocola.Beyond the extraordinary food, it was the customer service that truly set Chocola at Hillcrest apart. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the dining experience was perfect. Their attention to detail, from the seamless flow of the meal to the personalized touches, made me feel valued and cared for. It was clear that customer satisfaction is not just a goal at Chocola, but a deeply ingrained value.

Outstanding gelato!! Some of the best I've had in San Diego. We'll be coming back to try breakfast and coffee soon. What an extensive menu, they make a huge variety of different things.
