The food here is always so fresh and delicious. I love the pita nachos, chicken shawarma tacos, and wraps here. I would order anything that sounds good and it'll be good. Service is fast and friendly, you order at the counter then sit down. Not a large amount of tables but clean and chill inside.
Never a miss at this spot. Everything I've tried is so flavorful and fresh. Customer service is welcoming, attentive and always smiling. A great spot for lunch or dinner. Ambiance is Very quaint indoor seating.
First time trying crest on DoorDash. The order was full and provided a good amount of everything. The gyro meat is a tad salty but with everything together it's good. Not my favorite in EG but I'm curious to try more on their menu.
The restaurant is cute and bright. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to you. I went with the Mediterranean Bowl and subbed chicken with lamb. It came out quickly. I liked the fact that it was not heavy and it was delicious. My friend had the tacos, and she thought there was too much sauce on them.
Crest Cafe is a cute modern cafe where you order your food at the counter and seat yourself. Seating is very limited but the food is delicious! My husband ordered the Chicken Kebab plate with Tazitikii sauce. The kebab was cooked perfectly but he found the portion to be too small for him and noted he will order extra meat next time. I got myself the Mediterranean Bowl which was packed with rice, veggies, and chicken shawarma. Our dishes were very flavorful yet refreshing and clean. You can really tell great quality ingredients are used here which explains the slightly high price point. Parking: Found no issues finding spot right in front of restaurant in the small plaza
I've tried Crest Cafe in Downtown, but never their EG location. We were in the area looking for a light and refreshing meal and gave Crest a try. We shared a Greek salad with the most excellent dressing. We got the Mediterranean nachos which were AMAZING! These are not your run of the mill nachos. The fried pita chips brought this up to a whole new level. The chicken shawarma had a little heat to it and topped with garlic sauce and tomatoes. We thought we couldn't finish it because it was a very generous serving, but it was so good, we couldn't stop until it was all gone. We couldn't stop thinking about the nachos so we came back a few days later. We still can't get enough of this! The shop is relatively small, but clean and very cute. It's in a shopping center with Dollar Store and Maru Ramen. Service was good. You order at the front and they bring your meal to your table. Parking wasn't bad, but the plaza gets very busy, especially on the weekends. Price wise, its very reasonable with fresh and health ingredients.
Food is fresh and, what we tried was absolutely delicious. Decent wait time. Clean and casual. A little pricey. Customer service is good and they provide a complimentary water for the table. Eat in and take out options. Will come again.
02.10.2026 - CREST CAFE - ELK GROVE, CALIFORNIA - Sometimes a craving calls for something simple, satisfying, and nourishing. That day, it had to be vegetarian--and falafel felt like the perfect answer. When I arrived, the restaurant was quiet, almost empty, and for a brief moment I hesitated. Still, something about the menu invited trust. I decided on the build-your-own falafel, choosing a warm pita filled with crisp falafel, garlic sauce, and tzatziki, along with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a request for red onions. I ordered it to go, eager to get home before the rainy afternoon turned dark. Back at home, opening the takeout box felt like a small reward. Inside were five beautifully golden falafel balls resting atop a colorful bed of vegetables, with the pita tucked neatly underneath. The aroma alone hinted at care and tradition. The vegetables--red onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers--were dressed with olive oil and gentle Mediterranean spices, bringing brightness and depth to every bite. The flavors were comforting and familiar, the kind that remind you why simple food, done well, is so memorable. Warm, hearty, and incredibly satisfying, this falafel felt like a meal made with intention. What began as a moment of uncertainty turned into a delightful discovery. If you're ever in the mood for something wholesome and flavorful, especially on a quiet, rainy day, this is a place worth stepping into. I left already looking forward to the next visit--and that says everything.
First time here. I ordered the build your own with rice & salad opted for the chicken shawarma with everything & chose the Creamy Jalapeno & Tazitiki sauce. Everything was so good. Loved the salad and sauces. Staff were friendly. Very clean restaurant. Be sure to clean up after yourself. I would dine here again. This is in the same shopping plaza as Dollar tree and LaBou. plenty of parking.
Decided to try this place out since I was craving a salad I got the Mediterranean salad and it was good could use a little more dressing then they give you in the little container cup since I got it to go. It came with naan bread and which I thought was hummus but it was ranch... strange. I also got the fries which were good the fries were good and stuff and it basically was like feta with I forgot the white sauce. They give you lots too.
Stopped here once because of a recommendation and I keep going back! Wonderful food! Good service, always fast. The location is good, cute store with fun decor. They have a good selection of gluten free options and the staff is helpful in navigating your diet.
I got to try this place thru door dash and it makes me want to try it in person. I was actually surprised to see how much food was included. The salad was very fresh and the rice and chicken shawarma were flavorful. All of it together made a great medley of flavors that did not make me feel guilty or like I overate. It was very light but filling at the same time. I love the build your own option because you can customize it to your likings. I definitely would like to try more from this place.
Crest Cafe has been on my list for quite some time and I'm happy I finally made the time to go! Yum yum yum. This is a modern take on Mediterranean food. As beautiful as the pics are the taste certainly meets your expectations. Inside the restaurant is impeccably clean and I love the modern design. Inviting and trendy especially with their sign that said, "Make the World a Feta Place". Didn't grab a pic because people were sitting there. Tables were quickly cleaned once parties finished their meals. The service I received was perfect as the employee was very friendly, helpful, and kind. Based off the employee's recommendation I chose the Mediterranean Nachos over the fries (sorry fries). Oh my goodness, this was amazing! Pita chips freshly made and held up extremely well as my scooping vessel. Everything tasted so fresh and the chicken shawarma...wow! I could eat just that alone! My friend got their Couscous Salad and very much enjoyed it with their garlic sauce. Wasn't quite enough what they gave so we asked for more with no issues, like an extra charge for it. Definitely Chik-Fil-A vibes here! No stinginess. :) I will happily come back here again for the Mediterranean Fries. Highly recommend you make a visit!

What a great find! The food was absolutely delicious, and the Pita Nachos (a house favorite) definitely lived up to the hype. Such a creative and flavorful twist--I can see why they're so popular. The atmosphere was welcoming and super pleasant. Great food, great ambiance, and friendly service! read more
The Mediterranean Fries were good. We thought it was better than the nachos if we had to pick between the two. But, we thought those two were the best menu items. The lamb gyro came in third. It was better than the garlic chicken and chicken shawarma. It wasn't because they weren't good but the flavors from the sauce and onions were so much better. The Greek salad was a salad and same with the couscous salad. Service was nice. One cashier, she cleaned tables, brought water, extra plates, and did a great job. There were bench seats, chairs, and high stools and tables. The place was very well air conditioned and that makes a difference. read more
Our nephew was in town visiting and we wanted to go some place new to eat. We chose Mediterranean style foods and found Crest Cafe. It's a clean and bright place with youthful-energy decors. It's quite stylish, including the menu. For appetizers, we ordered Mediterranean Nachos (my favorite, very flavorful, it's a must try), Mediterranean Gyro Fries (delicious) and Hummus. Three of us did the "build your own" entrees and chose wraps as our styles. Our meats choices were garlic chickens, kabobs chicken and chicken shawarma. We liked our wraps particularly their sauces. The wraps looked beautiful and clean looking. We placed our orders at the counter and the hostess was very nice. We enjoyed our foods so much that our nephew ordered some foods to go for his kids and marked this place to come again with his family. read more

Holy Moly. The Mediterranean bowl at Crest Cafe is just so amazing! I ordered it without olives but the entire bowl, the chicken, marinade, the freshness - ugh! So Good! I ordered a second bowl to go because I knew I'd crave it again the next day. The wonderful lady at the front assisted me with care and great service. I love the decor here as well, the neon sign and the lemons and foliage just adds to a beautiful experience. 10/10 recommend ! read more

Visited during my lunchtime and order to-go. A cozy quick service cafe. Not too busy which was surprising for it being lunch. Mediterranean nachos had lots of flavor and really good. Also ordered 'build you own' and I chose a wrap w/ chicken and garlic sauce. Bigger than I expected so it was filling. Chicken was flavorful but wrap as a whole lacked flavor. Maybe I needed to choose taziki sauce next time. Other thing I didnt care for, I felt I had to eat it quickly because juices was making the wrap soggy. Next time I'll probably order and eat there. Might be a better experience. read more
Cute lil spot in Elk Grove. I got the fries and they were LOADED!! Great flavor and portion. The chopped veggies on top were super refreshing and the whole meal felt very light despite how much food it was. My brother got the tacos and liked them. He said they could have used spicier jalapeños but he just really likes spice. The sauce on both was amazing and not overpowering. Inside was chill, lots of seating and natural light. Parking here is a lil tight since there are so many other shops but usually you'll be able to find a spot. read more

My very first time ordering from Crest Cafe. It's a cute little restaurant, casual dining, bright and clean. I ordered the Shawarma beef with rice and side salad. I wanted beef shish kabobs they only served chicken kabobs, I think. The side salad was very fresh, with healthy greens, red bell peppers, diced tomatoes, diced red onions, carrots and cucumbers. The dressing was a very light Greek vinaigrette dressing that was pretty tart with a salty kick that was complementary to the taste. The beef was sliced very thin, like tiny stir fry strips, seasoned well. The white rice was a great balance for the saltiness of the beef, but it also got pretty greasy with the oil from the meat. Overall, the meal was good, and filling, but i couldn't place what I was missing. I chose the chipotle sauce and garlic sauce, but i didn't feel it helped. I should've chose the creamy Greek sauce. There was also two very small pieces of pita bread, but probably could've used another slice or two for the saltiness in the meat. The server was very nice, and patient with my order, but wasn't able to describe some of the dishes to know how it's cooked I think more photos would've helped for some of the names I didn't understand. I am willing to go back and try something else. read more

In short: -Decent service- not friendly but food came out pretty fast. -Food was not mind blowing but was good. -Ambiance reminded me of Nick the Greek. I was sooo excited to try this place since the reviews were so good! The food for me did not wow me but it wasn't bad. My boyfriend seemed to really enjoy the food that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 3. Now I am a foodie so I am picky. We cook a lot at home and bf makes great meals so if you don't cook homemade meals at home and just want a light and fresh meal, you will prob love this place. I got a Mediterranean bowl- it tasted fresh which was good but they must have cut the cucumbers really small because I didn't notice any. I was trying to figure out what it was missing later I didn't think it had any cuc so came back to look at the menu to check. It is suppose to. It had white rice on the bottom, along with a so called Shawarma chicken that was like no shawarma chicken I had before. It didn't have any grill on it or any Caramelized bits and was covered in a creamy sauce if some kind. Not bad but I prefer my meat to be from a rotisserie or a grill. My boyfriend ordered the beef tacos and the nachos. He gave me a taco and it was unique, same wet meat with an unidentifiable sauce, apparently it's avocado hummus with eggplant salsa and chipotle tahini sauce. It was a bit of an odd mixture for me but overall it was fun to try. Just not good enough for me to order for myself. I tried a bite of the nachos- fried pita chips were thicker than I was anticipating, topping were not memorable but not bad. We were not greeted when we came in and I got a weird vibe from the young lady at the counter like she didn't want to help us. I might come back someday to try a falafel plate but with lower expectations. read more

I just had the chicken shawarma tacos and the nachos and both were very good and very filling. After the tacos, I could only eat about a quarter of the nachos because I was full. I've had four items now on the menu and I am eager to try the rest. read more

I'm so happy Crest Cafe is in Elk Grove!! I've never had a bad meal here. Rather, it's a place I always come back to!! Food is cooked fresh, and ingredients are always high quality. Thanks for existing Crest!! read more
Crest Cafe is one of my favorites in Elk Grove when I want a quick and healthy meal. The interior is nice and bright and the food is delicious. Really enjoyed their Mediterranean Nachos. The fried pita chips were amazing! They're crispy and soft at the same time. Mediterranean Bowl is a really healthy option. This is usually two meals for me. Veggies are fresh and their sauce is delicious. read more
I was looking for a healthier option for dinner and Crest popped up! It was the perfect option when you're looking for a quick delicious plate of Mediterranean food! The interior is decorated really nicely! The wall of greenery is a nice refreshing touch! It's very clean and decor is simple but gorgeous. The service was really good! The person who took our order was nice and gave us recommendations. We ordered a Mediterranean bowl with chicken and a make your own bowl with chicken kabob and garlic chicken. I was really impressed with my Mediterranean bowl it was a good portion for the price and was filling! It was similar to a salad with rice at the bottom. The chicken was seasoned really well and they use basmati rice. For the price I think the make your own bowl could have had more meat, especially when we ordered extra meat. Nevertheless, the meat was seasoned really well and was super tasty! We tried the creamy jalapeño and garlic sauce for the bowl and those were really good. I really loved the garlic sauce. Def would recommend if you're looking for a healthy option to eat! I need to try the nachos next time! They seem to be a really popular item. read more

I ordered a Mediterranean Salad. It is mildly spicy. I would say it is a Greek Salad on top of chicken and rice. If you like Greek Salad you will like this dish. The restaurant was very clean with a nice decor. I did a late takeout and the place was empty so cannot really comment on the service other than I got my food really quick. read more
Simply delicious fresh food. I mean vibrantly fresh. The cashier was friendly and welcoming. It's an order at the register and grab a table setup. A bottle of chilled water was brought to the table. Our food came in short order and the visual assured me that I was going to love my food. My eyes did not let down my taste buds. The food was served in a nice portion. It made for a very filling lunch. It looks like the menu is the same for lunch and dinner. I think it's a good thing based on today's lunch. Can't wait to get back soon. read more

Wow! The flavor of their dishes here is immensely delicious and irresistible! We had their chicken nachos -- the flavor on these babies was warm, rich and they had the perfect amount of spice/seasoning. The husband was obsessing over the texture of their homemade pita chips (they were perfectly cooked.. crispy edges with this slightly pillowy center. Oh so good! We also had their falafel tacos. They were just as tasty. The chipotle sauce was great on them. They don't have fountain drinks here, but they do serve bottled sodas, flavored juices and water. The decor inside is modern and clean. The service was quick and the staff was friendly and efficient. Cannot wait to return! read more

This is my new favorite spot in Elk Grove. I've been here a handful of times and it has never disappointed. I have even recommended it to friends and coworkers. The chicken tacos are flavorful and filling but my favorite item on the menu is the Mediterranean Nachos. The ingredients are fresh and make you feel satisfied without feeling heavy! read more
