Nice place far away from everything. Food is good and prices are surprisingly moderate.

"The food was ok, basically just reheated frozen meats and potato products." said the man who's tastes buds were replaced !!

I've eaten at the cafe dozens of time. Spring, summer, fall and winter you can count on Adam being friendly and helpful. He makes excellent chili con carne. His wife makes the brownies and banana bread, also excellent. For me, customer service is the most important aspect of a business. That's why I give five stars to Crystal Lake Cafe.

Awesome spot to re-energize after a long day of riding. The owner is super nice and has a basic menu he cooks himself. They also offer various supplies for people camping. They have a patio outside that is great for story telling and meeting new friends. A definite stop if you make the beautiful trip up that way.

Friendly owner. Their tunas sandwich is not bad. Cozy little shop that has just about everything from camping gears, bug sprays to energy bars.
They inpost a minimum of $10 credit card purchase. As a cyclist, I like to keep everything minimalistic. Often many time, I simply cant purchase small snack. This makes it quite inconvenient.

The owner, food, location and seating are all great. Nearby to the campground or a good stop off in the middle of your site seeing tour. The friendly cats are an added bonus and they really like the albacore tuna sandwich almost as much as me.

If you need something last minute that you forgot to bring from home on your camping trip up to the Los Angeles forest, this guy has it. Everything from a pair of winter gloves, snow shoes, snacks, drink to a perfect home made chili. Great spot! Makes Crystal Lake campground feel like a safe park, and a real camping trip away from home! Great for families!

Extremely rude. Owner of store was super unfriendly and kept yelling at me for asking if my friend was still there that called me from there number. Kept yelling the same thing at me over and over. My friend had an emergency up there and used there phone to call me but he kept yelling at me no one called you from this number this is a resturant. I told him I know it's a restaurant my friend just called me from your phone he said no even though I have the call logs. Not a nice guy, there's a emergency and instead of being polite or nice this guy will treat you poorly, doesn't obviously care about people. What a peice of trash individual

I live in Chino HIlls CA and take a drive to Crystal Lake almost weekly. Whether on my motorcycle or my jeep, it is such a relaxing drive. It is so wonderful to have this treasure so close to the city. Adam and his wife are very friendly and make you feel so welcome. The food is great and the scenery is wonderful. If you have the time, the trip to Crystal Lake is well worth the effort.
