We will be back! This was our first time at Café Cristal. We tried it for a late breakfast because the paninis were highly recommended by Samantha at the Honda dealership. The counter staff are lovely people with beautiful smiles for you. The sweet and savoury crêpe menu choices are creative. The portions are very good. The crêpes, coffee and vanilla latté we ordered were delicious. Hubby had the steak & egg and I had the strawberry custard. They serve high tea every day, but I'm told you need to reserve two days in advance. For that alone, I will be back...but I also loved the delicious latté. Decisions, decisions! Note: There isn't any pork on the menu, which may be of interest to some.

Cafe Cristal was the perfect choice for my baby shower and I’m so glad we chose to book the cafe! The staff (especially the 3 gentlemen who worked the event along with the store owner) were incredibly helpful, respectful, and an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. The space itself is beautiful, and the food, pastries, and drinks exceeded my expectations. They really brought my vision to life. The entire experience was truly wonderful.

What a gem! Beautiful, relaxing and a very hospitable atmosphere! The brioche with its many savoury layers was delicious! My friend had the crepe with strawberries: highly recommended!

It doesn't get any better than a French inspired Jordanian cafe. The decor, the lights, the vintage pieces, the dainty sofas, the perfectly curated menu, the lattes, the pastry and to top it off, great service. I absolutely loved everything about this quaint but somehow modern café. The perfect mix of both worlds.

What a lovely spot for breakfast. We were greeted with a sweet smile by the owner who is an absolute delight. The cappuccino is velvety smooth, the omelettes are delicious, and their chocolate chip cookies are amazingly flavourful. The café is warm and inviting. If we lived in the area, we would visit several times a week. Highly recommend. We will be back.
