It's Hill-CREST, after all

It's nice to see the long-standing Crest Cafe still thriving after all these years. Whether stuffing your gut at breakfast, stopping in for late-night coffee and pie, or anything in between, Crest Cafe has been as reliable as City Deli was and Harvey Milk's now is. With its art deco vibe, cramped-yet-cozy crowds, and cherished Thanksgiving dinners, it seems to change with the times without changing much at all, including its name.
