Crystal Lake Cafe - Azusa

Had an excellent experience staying in the cabin. My one-year-old and three-year-old loved the freedom of the outdoors and the constant stream of ice cream from the cafe. Staff are friendly and personable. My only worry is that this good review will makeit a more popular destination, and take away from the tranquility provided that is so rare in Southern California.

I can't say enough about how much I love this place. Adam and his family are the most gracious hosts to all who visit. I love introducing friends and family to this haven. The food is just great, and the cabins Adam rents out are amazing. Pleaserespect the speed limits, family's with kids are out and about and if you camp, please drown the fire pit before leaving. Enjoyand visit often. I do.

This place is part of a Dying Breed of establishments. The quaint camping store Cafe combination with its selection of snacks, camping gear, souvenirs and rustic charm. The proprietor Adam is interesting and charming and has lots to say about his lifethere and the local mountains and things to do in that area. The menu is a bit Limited and the interior selection of dry goodssmall but pretty extensive considering you're in the middle of the mountains. It's open 6 days a week only closed on Tuesday.

Purchase grilled cheese sandwich, tasted like it was grilled with old grease. Had some chillie and it tasted like the bottom of the pot. It could have been so much better. So bummed.
