    Biscuit and gravy
    Jade R.

    First of all, the staff is INCREDIBLE! Such a great spot in College Park. I would come back just for the hospitality! Food portions were large, home fries were crisp, and pancakes were fluffy!

    We recently visited Cristo's Cafe and had an overall average experience. We opted for the country breakfast--which included 2 eggs, 4 slices of bacon, biscuits and gravy, and home fries, though there are other options available if you'd like to mix it up. The restaurant is clean, tastefully decorated, and features a pleasant outdoor dining area. Prices are average ($26 including tip) and the portions are generous, with the food being good overall. The friendly staff added to the experience, making it a decent spot for a straightforward breakfast. Please note: The photos show a half order because my fiancé and I split the breakfast, and the staff was kind enough to bring it to the table already plated.

    We decided to come here and try this place out. You seat yourself and then a waiter will come to you. Service was very very friendly and polite. The food was delicious and very well priced. Overall the whole feeling of this diner was cozy and warm. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast!

    Two eggs classics Came with bacon, grits and a biscuit
    Nancy P.

    This small place was packed when my husband and I got there during brunch time. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot is small but you can also find street parking. We were greeted when we walked in to ask for a table. The server Suzanne was super nice and attentive to us. The pancakes are big so I split them with my husband. Next time we will get 2. I asked for over medium eggs but got over easy. The grits could use more love with seasoning but I guess it's better than over seasoned. The biscuit grilled was sooo yummy and fluffy! I wasn't a fan of the bacon because I like it crispy and they were not cooked all the way

    This place was fantastic!!!! The service was a little slow but the food was worth it! The portions were really decent and half the price of most of the places around. I am a fancy pants brunch girlie but give me a solid diner with grits and wet eggs and you're going to have a happy girlie pop! I had the two eggs anyway (over easy), bacon, grits and sausage gravy. I only got water there but they had a bunch of beverage options. Thanks to Yelp for putting me into this spot! Highly recommend!

    Chocolate chip pancake
    Madison L.

    We came in for breakfast and had a great experience. Service was fantastic! We got seated quickly and our waitress checked on us and did refills regularly. For my meal, I got a chocolate chip pancake. Most people really only need to order one because the pancakes are giant. The pancake was delicious with crispy edges, a fluffy interior, and plenty of chocolate chips. It came with a light dusting of powdered sugar, butter, and syrup. I also got a side of the home fries, which were savory and perfectly fried up. I had their drip coffee and it was great. This is a wonderful place to go for local home style diner food.

    Biscuits and gravy, eggs over medium, and bacon
    trichina c.

    I visited this diner last weekend with my friend. It's typical breakfast diner food. We sat on the covered outdoor patio and ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of eggs and bacon. The food and service were both good! I'd definitely go back.

    Burned Liver and onions
    Cheryl V.

    My review is take out only. My son had a late breakfast there last week. He sent me a picture of the menu and asked if he could bring something home. I saw that they had liver and onions. I usually LOVE eating liver and onions at these little dive diners. This one was really disappointing. I opened the container to the entree and it was burned beyond repair. The liver, itself, was paper thin and charred to a chewy crisp. (See pictures) I tried to eat some of it, but it tasted worse than it looked. Basically went straight into the trash can. Simply put...a total waste of money. Luckily it came with coleslaw, so I ate that and had a little of their potato salad that accompanied the entree. Both were just ok. Not sure if they are only a breakfast spot, or if their cook had a bad day. Either way, I'm not too inclined to give this place an "in-house" visit.

    Hungry Boy Platter...Yum!!

    Cristo's Cafe has great food, service, & value...wouldn't hesitate to recommend! A gem in College Park...

    During my recent visit, I was delighted by the warm ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating options available. The smaller size of the cafe indeed contributes to its cozy charm, making it a perfect place to savor a delicious breakfast while feeling right at home. The breakfast portions at Christos Cafe are sizable, and the quality remains consistently top-notch. Their menu caters to various preferences, offering a delightful array of classic breakfast options and unique specialties. Whether you opt for the pancakes or their signature omelets, the flavors and portion sizes are truly satisfying. They have seasonal takes on different items as well. The staff is so friendly! Their welcoming and attentive nature only adds to the overall pleasant experience. Christos Cafe may be smaller in size, but its cozy atmosphere, coupled with hearty portions and a friendly staff, make it an absolute gem. I look forward to coming back here!

    Food not bad, not good. On a scale of 1-10 food is probably a solid 6. Ambiance is quaint classic diner feel. Host was nice and greeted us with a smile and told us to seat ourselves , but our server seemed rushed/not thorough even though the place wasn't that busy. I asked about switching my toast for tomato slices but was told it would probably be an up charge. Which is fine, but I don't think I've ever been somewhere that wasn't readily allowing that substitution. On the menu hot chocolate is listed as decorated with whipped cream and chocolate syrup but what was served was just plain and also a mess all over the mug. The check was brought out with the food and even fell on top of the food, which is unsanitary. Everything felt kind of thrown at us without any thought or care. We weren't given straws for our water and I thought maybe you have to ask, but then looked around and literally every single other person in the restaurant had straws, so I'm sure it's a standard, we just had to ask for some reason. When we left I noticed my fiancé had sticky gunk on the side and bottom of one of his shoes, we had to grab tissues and water bottle out of the car to clean before getting in the car. It might be a better experience depending on what server you get, but with Waffle House as an always solid option with consistent service/food, we won't be back here to test the theory.

Another reviewer accurately described it as a "cronut", or a mash-up of a croissant and a doughnut. The texture is different but the sweet factor is intact! We chose a Saturday morning to visit because our son was available and wanted to check out Parlor, since he is a doughnut aficionado. We found plenty of available parking spots. The bright interior with east-facing windows and white and blue tile made for a cheery atmosphere. Of course the doughnuts and good service add to the brightness. A French Toast doughnut, Spinach Pesto Breakfast Sandwich (a lovely savory and served in a ciabatta roll), and Proper Coffee (drip) were ordered on this visit and throughly enjoyed while sitting on comfy chairs. The laid-back, family-friendly character of the shop was a welcome change. I'd like to return in the near future after 11 am when the Savory Layered Doughnuts are being served!

The Vibe: The interior is super cute and inviting, and the staff was friendly. The parking lot is on the smaller side, but we got lucky and found a spot easily since it wasn't too busy when we arrived. What We Ordered: * Raspberry Filled Donut * "Sandy Beach" (cinnamon roll-style) * Two Cold Brews They still had a great variety of donuts available, even later in the afternoon, which was a nice surprise. The Donuts: Here's where it comes down to personal preference. These are not your traditional donuts--they're more like a croissant-donut hybrid (think cronut) with a layered, slightly brioche-like texture. Flaky, layered--not your classic donut. If you love that style, you may really enjoy these. For us, we were expecting a more traditional donut, and unfortunately the texture just wasn't our favorite. The Sandy Beach had great flavor, but the texture didn't quite land for me. The raspberry filled had a very standard berry filling that leaned a bit artificial. Drinks: The cold brew was also a miss for us--a bit too acidic and not as smooth as we'd hoped. Overall: While the flavors and textures weren't quite what we were looking for, I can definitely see the appeal for those who enjoy a cronut-style donut. Friendly service and a cute space made for a pleasant visit overall. One thing that did catch our eye is that they offer savory donuts, which sounded really interesting--we'd definitely come back to give those a try. Pro tip: Go in knowing these are croissant-style donuts, not traditional cake or yeast donuts--it makes all the difference.

I was standing at the express checkout while there was only one employee assisting customers. While I waited, three vehicles were serviced, then two more, and then a third round of cars -- all while I was still standing there. After ringing the bell once, I was told to "wait," which I did. Instead of being helped, I was eventually approached and spoken to aggressively and told to "go The fuck somewhere else," which was both unprofessional and unnecessary. What makes this more concerning is the inconsistency I've experienced over time. One employee repeatedly tells me the store did not receive a shipment of cups needed to serve hot water, while another employee provides the same item without issue the very next day. This contradiction happens regularly and suggests either poor internal communication or selective service. I come here every day for the same simple request -- hot water -- and I have never caused a problem or been disrespectful. Being skipped repeatedly, then spoken to in a hostile and dismissive manner, is not acceptable under any circumstances. Whether the issue was frustration, mismanagement, or employee behavior, customers should not be treated this way. I hope management takes this seriously, addresses staff conduct, and ensures consistent, respectful service for everyone. Walked next door for my hot water instead. It's okay I'll file a complaint.
