Loved the matcha cookie; was thick and more crispy. strawberry matcha latte was on point with a nice strawberry puree incorporated into the latte. Cream puffs are just great. Custard filling 😋. Solid place for your sweet but not too sweet tooth.

Usually get the banana strawberry croissant, apple croissant, pudding, cream puff and the meat bun. All good. Tried the chicken katsu curry. Don’t wait long. Katsu was well fried. Curry itself was slightly spicy and tasted fine

I give Cream Pan 2.5/5 stars. Reddit brought me here. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. I fist tried the strawberry croissant, the most popular item. Yeah, I don't understand the hype. While the cream filling was good, the croissant was on the small side; with only 2 thin slices of strawberry, there's not much strawberry about this. The next item I tried was the curry pan. The flavor was good, but it was cold. Do they have an option to warm up upon request? The star of the show was the crispy cheese bread. This, crispy, and delicious. I skipped going to Corridor Flow for some good coffee to grab coffee here. Huge mistake. I purchased a few more items, but I'm in no rush to eat them. There are plenty of tables, and I feel that the space is more seating than food options. It didn't feel like a cozy, inviting atmosphere usually experienced in bakeries. Parking lot is small, and a nightmare. Best to find street parking. Will I come back? No. There are better bakery options in the South Bay. And for the price, Cream Pan is an overrated expensive experience.

I visited this place for the first time. This Bakery came highly recommended by my husband coworkers. We try the strawberry croissants they were delicious. We went in on a Sunday morning wasn’t as busy. Their pastries are not too sweet. We order a piece of cake and you can really taste the chocolate. The cakes are a little bit pricey but I think they’re really worth the price because they’re not too sweet.

Cream Pan in Lomita is a total win for anyone obsessed with their famous strawberry cream croissants! We used to trek all the way to Tustin for these flaky, creamy delights, but finding this spot near our daughter’s place was a game-changer. The Lomita location is bigger, brighter, and the staff are super friendly. They’ve got a wider variety than Tustin, with not just their killer croissants but also sushi, breads, and cakes. We grabbed a dozen strawberry cream croissants (still as heavenly as ever) and some spam sushi, which was a fun surprise. Big parking lot, no long wait—easy in, easy out. If you’re in Lomita and craving something sweet or savory, Cream Pan’s got you covered!

Love this spot! So far I've tried the pork bun, olive bread, mini strawberry 🍓 croissant and azuki cream bun and cheesecake. Haven't been disappointed with anything. I really love their unsweetened peach iced tea also. The place is very spacious with lots of seating.

We ordered the Macha latte, coffee with condensed milk, breads, and juice. I love how creamy and tasty the Macha green tea is. I love that they don't put too many ice cubes in there so your last sip still tastes good even if you are a slow drinker. My husband said coffee was also very good too. But the bread we had the same option that is very dry and hard. Probably it's not that fresh. It tastes old. Everything is also very pricey compared to the quality. Even though I love their atmosphere and their drinks, I would not go back there.

Cream Pan in the South Bay (Lomita), is an absolute pastry paradise! Their strawberry custard croissants are nothing short of HEAVENLY--a mind-blowing, melt-in-your-mouth delicacy that will transport your taste buds to pure bliss! Every pastry bursts with incredible freshness and a satisfying, crisp texture that screams quality. However, fair warning: the steamed buns fall disappointingly short, arriving soggy and lacking the sweet punch you'd hope for. They need a bigger parking lot!

The pastries are high quality and delicious. My favorites are the Cream Pan Bun and the Strawberry croissant. I purchased a smallish 6" fruit tart with Christmas decorations and it was $45. It served 4. Kind of pricey but the value is there because of the quality. The side they need to work on is the customer service. I've gone there three times now and twice (because I didn't check the third time) I saw that the cashier had rung me up twice for an item. This happened two separate occasions. Now this could be a coincidence or maybe a scam. Not really sure. I would suggest that if you go to enjoy the pastries that you double check your itemized receipts.

Food Went in looking for a quick snack. Got some pork buns and an azuki cream puff. Pork buns were really good, but the real highlight was the azuki cream puff. Pastry itself was perfect just the right texture to hold all the cream and red and bean inside. The cream was just the right amount of sweetness and a perfect accompaniment to the red bean Service/Ambiance Monday lunch time, not much people and they have plenty of seating. The staff were nice as well

This Japanese bakery offers a variety of pastries, desserts, breads and rice snacks/dishes that I can't stay away from. There are so many items I like here, but I always have to get the Azuki cream pan. There's usually a long line, but the wait time is never that long. The staff friendly and efficient here. I usually take my food to go, but there seems to be plenty of places to sit in this spacious store. Parking is limited in their lot, so sometimes I have to park in the residential area which is not bad.

Cream Pan's Lomita location is much bigger than the original in Tustin and judging by the crowds, South Bay is happy to have them here! The excellent cream puffs and custard filled strawberry croissants are as fantastic as ever and people continue to buy trays at a time. My husband likes to take them to work for an occasional treat for his team. If you come early enough, you'll get a chance to enjoy their savory offerings such as the curry pan, the various onigiri, nikuman (steamed pork buns) and the cold sandwiches. They also have pork and chicken katsu curry here which is fantastic and one of my favorite things to get here. My one minor complaint is that their coffee is mediocre. If they could upgrade that, I'd love them even more! But even without the coffee, they get 5 stars from me. So happy to have an abundance of fantastic Japanese bakeries here in the South Bay!

Kind of glad that Cream Pan is not that close to home, but also kind of sad at the same time. Definitely a stop worth making when in the South Bay... 5 stars!!!!! Family members introduced us to the strawberry cream croissants at Cream Pan, and these croissants alone are worth making the drive. The cream and the strawberries are so yummy and delicious and the croissants are super flaky. Pretty good size dessert treat, but it's so easy to down two strawberry cream croissants in one sitting! Gotta slowly try out the other pastry and bread offerings in future visits. And it's not just sweets. Cream Pan also has a good selection of sandwiches as well as curry rice dishes! There is a parking lot for customers, plus there's plenty of seating to enjoy the food at Cream Pan. This branch definitely has more parking as well as more room when compared to the Tustin location, the first location that we visited.

Every time I'm here I always get the strawberry croissants and they are absolutely delicious! The pastry is perfectly flaky, with a light, buttery texture that paired so well with the fresh strawberries. I love that they weren't overly sweet--the balance was just right. The service was also great and friendly, which added to the overall experience. They also have plenty of seating inside, great for hang outs. Just a heads-up--parking can get a bit challenging during peak hours, so plan accordingly. But it's definitely worth it!

It's a lazy Sunday. An easy lunch was found at Cream Pan. Fortunately, the line was short and quick! The sandos and musubi were satisfying. The croissant was a sweet end to the meal. Saving croissant #2 and the shortcake for later! Enjoy!

The place is big and has a refrigerated section that has pre packaged baked items for quick buy. I grabbed the strawberry croissants that are amazing and what this place is known and well appreciated for. I love the u pique baked items and fresh carrot /orange juice. Will be back for sure

Fantastic food and coffee selection, the four pack of mini sandwiches is perfect for an easy lunch. I'm convinced this place is trying to gently teach Americans what reasonable portion size means!

I visited at least 3 times prior to writing this review. The product is great, but the service just isn't there. Obviously service depends on who's working that day, but generally my impressions aren't great. When I first visited in July, I noticed that they sell quality pastries. But the service wasn't good and it seems like they don't appreciate their new customers. I churned coming back, but I gave them another chance this month. If you visit on busy days, the single line funnels you through, giving little time to decide (or otherwise you'd lose your position in line). There was no greeting, no smile, nor explanation on how things work, completely silent treatment. I had to take initiative that I wanted to buy something. What's worse is that the management's service wasn't any better. I don't know if it's because there's a language barrier, but it definitely makes me feel unwanted / unappreciated as a customer. It seems like friends of management get better service? Ambience on the other hand is nice. It's modern and clean and there's seating for big groups. There's also reasonable amount of parking. I love supporting local bakeries. I wouldn't mind paying a little more if it'll give me a satisfying experience all throughout. It's unfortunate, but hopefully it'll improve!

This is my favorite bakery in LA area, this is not popular on social media because I believe they didn't pay that much to KOL unlike some other joints but this food here is solid. Super solid Japanese bakery. Some of the popular items ran out before noon on weekends but don't worry their most popular strawberry croissants never run out.

So happy Cream Pan opened in the South Bay! Cream Pan serves Japanese-style breads that remind me so much of my trips to Japan. My favorites are the azuki cream and sticky bun. They don't skimp out!! The azuki cream is full of cream and the sticky bun has lots of pecans!! The inside is very spacious with good amount of seats. Go early because things do run out! Once you're in line you'll be helped by one of the servers who will neatly package your pastries for you. Definitely try this place out!

First visit to this baked goods place and was pleasantly surprised to see their many offers. Tried one of them (see uploaded photo) and was amazed how tasty it was. Definitely will try different ones next time.

A great bakery known for their strawberry cream croissants, my wife and I were excited to try the local branch. Surprisingly, the croissants were good though not at all as derricious as we had remembered from several years ago. Of the many items we tried, we'd actually recommend the cakes including their strawberry shortcake along with the katsu sandwich for a quick filling meal.

A Japanese/French bakery within walking distance of my Airbnb? Yes please! I went not once, not twice, but three times during my half week stay. And I was thinking of going again, if not for all the other great food in the area. Strawberry Croissant ($2.40) - My first thought as I looked at this pastry - this looks like a turnover, and a small turnover at that. Then I saw it was only $2.40, so the size made sense. The croissant is flaky and sliced halfway for pastry cream to be piped in and a few slices of strawberry as garnish. I wish that the cream had strawberry flavor to reinforce the idea that this is a strawberry pastry, where strawberry should be the star. Still, this is yummy and I can see why it's their most popular pastry. (4/5) Cream Pan ($2.60) - This one actually isn't made in house - instead it comes shipped in from the Fountain Valley location in a sealed bag. I wonder if they have a factory there? At any rate, I liked this quite a bit. Very fluffy bun with a soft cookie crust layer on top, and filled with a delicious vanilla pastry cream. (5/5) Beef Curry Pan ($3.30) - Fluffy donut-like exterior, embedded a bit with panko to give somewhat of a crunch, and filled with a beef/vegetable curry. This is fried well, and I didn't get the impression that it was overly oily. The interface between bread and curry gives a chewy sensation. There are diced onions to give a bit of an extra crunch in the curry, but otherwise it's almost like a pureed mixture, very smooth without any discernible pieces of beef. I think this would be better if they actually had chunks of beef mixed into the curry. (4/5) Crispy Cheese Bread ($3.50) - Basically a huge cheese crisp - a pile of cheese baked until crispy. They do embed some breadier/mochi-ish portions into the cheese to get a bit of a textural difference, but it's mostly just delicious baked cheese. (5/5) I actually went again that same evening to snag some more pastries: Petit ($1) - I wasn't expecting much and wasn't originally going to buy this, but I figured I would give it a try for $1. It turns out that the European style bread at Cream Pan is actually pretty good. Good crust development, with a bit of a hard baked taste. The interior tastes very well developed and is moist and chewy. (4/5) Kinako Donut ($3.20) - This is a chewy fried donut covered in sweet kinako powder, giving a sweet earthy nutty taste. The interior includes a generous amount of sweetened red bean paste. If you like any of the donuts here and red bean, you will like this. (4/5) Almond Croissant ($4) - This was the only disappointment in all the pastries I tried. Decent lamination, but very flat, yet too light and airy, and with the flavor and sweetness of the almond fragipane almost completely covered up by the taste of the butter. There were a ton of these still in the case when i went. I guess the fact that there were so many leftover at the end of the day should have given me pause. (2/5) Third Visit: Arabiki ($3.50) - Essentially a sausage/hot dog with cheese in a chewy bun. The sausage is very snappy. I don't normally like hot dog buns, but I loved this one. (5/5) Cheese Boul ($4.50) - As the name implies, it's a bread filled with cheese. The bread is very chewy, more like a European bread than an Asian one. Yummy. (5/5) Chicken Curry Pan ($3.30) - Not nearly as good as the beef one. The bun is larger and puffier so the filling is spread over more area. There's a big air hole in the middle of the bun. The curry is pretty sweet and the chicken adds a bit more texture than the beef, but this bun is still overall a disappointment. This one also had leftovers when I looked at it during my evening visit. (2/5) I found most of the pastries at Cream Pan to be good to great, but they definitely have some stinkers. I guess my advice would be to visit once later in the day to see what customers have avoided buying during the day. Avoid those; everything else is probably quite good. Bathrooms - Two on the larger parking lot end. Overall rating of the food: 4.44/5

Been to the Tustin location before so it's great to see that they have one here in Lomita as well. Got a 6 pack of the classic strawberry cream croissants and they were delicious as usual. Didn't know they also served up food here as well so I'll have to try that next time. Picked up some reasonably priced breads to take home as well. Line was pretty long but it also moved really fast and efficiently. Parking - They have their own lot. People come and go pretty fast so you could easily wait around for a spot if it'll full.

My husband and I always come here for their mixed sandwiches, strawberry croissants and white chocolate latte. Their mixed sandwiches are amazing and the closest you'll ever get to Japan's quality- the bread is soft, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavor is on point. The strawberry croissants are always a hit and delicious. The white chocolate latte isn't too sweet and has a good balance of coffee in it- not like your typical American white mochas. We decided to try the steamed pork buns today as well and all I have to say is it's going to be one of our newly added regular items!! The steamed pork is flavorful, juicy and tender, while the bread is soft and baked to perfection. It can run out quickly so try to come early! Really cute spot with indoor seating for customers. They have a small parking lot and plenty of street parking. Lines can get long but they move quickly!

This place is open from early morning and has variety of pastries and cakes. Very clean and spacious. Lots of parking space and the staff were very attentive.

They have lots of breads and several sweet treat options. Many are individually wrapped and set up as a grab-and-go, but there are also eye-catching desserts behind glass shelves that you'll need to have assistance to retrieve. We grabbed some red bean filled breads (exactly what I expected...sweet & satisfying) and some kind of matcha custard dessert (which was just fine). The lines can vary from pretty quick to long which we weirdly witnessed from our visit...we were fortunate enough to arrive when there was no line, but then it grew behind us. From our experience, the workers weren't extremely friendly, just transactional. There are a few communal tables which were completely occupied when we were there and more small tables sprinkled throughout the space--which could also be difficult to snag. I feel like they could probably fit in more seating if they designed the space differently? I'm not an interior designer at all, but I just felt like it seemed like a fairly large space (with empty non-used spaces that could be utilized) but difficult to find seating even though it wasn't super super crowded. Parking can get pretty tight as well. Overall, if you enjoy breads and unique Asian-type desserts, check them out.

I'm so happy there's now a location in the South Bay! I love their strawberry croissants, and it's the perfect dessert to bring to a party or potluck. Their croissants are always so fluffy and flaky, and the cream is the perfect amount of sweetness. I do wish there was more filling and strawberries! Nonetheless, these pastries are always so tasty. You can order them individually or they have party tray deals if you want to order in bulk. The place itself is pretty big with lots of seating. There's a parking lot next to it which is nice. They have a variety of breads and pastries as well as food and drinks. I'll definitely be back to try other items!

Great location and a large selection of pastries and ready to eat foods like katsu sandwich and yakisoba hot dogs. The parties are light and fluffy but not too sweet so you can eat a lot of them. The cream in each one is so light. The hot steamed buns with meat are delicious and perfect for a cold day. They have a lot of space inside for eating and sitting. Service was very fast and friendly. I would recommend anyone to check it out as it's a fun spot to see all the selections

Looks like Cream Pan has good problems and now has to chase out customers parked at the good tables in the large space... haha! How did they know I had my eye on a back corner table?! Don't worry too much- they seem fairly slow after work on weekdays... I officially became sold on CP last night. After several pre Christmas visits, I had a work night hankering for a fried donut packed with red beans AND whip cream like back home at the local Korean mom shop... So here's the scoop- Cream Pan makes a fried red bean donut and a BAKED bun of red bean n cream... NOT exactly what I wanted and they were sold out in the double trouble anyway... OK I must sacrifice something so I run out for an evening snack, ignore the katsu curry chicken dinner option also tugging at me, for my comfort food I need. My solution is one red bean fried donut plus one small cream puff.... For all of $5 I believe. Oh my gosh they were each so so good. The donut was packed deeply with a good inch high circle of perfectly sweetened (not overly) slightly chunky red bean paste all the way to the edges for days! ...coupled with a delicately crispy shelled cream puff holding a deceptively decadent glorious globule of fresh cream/custardy(?) goodness I felt deeply in my soul and in my tummy tum tum. I now love Cream Pan the way you fanatics have before me. Thank you for showing me the way and it just goes to show- never judge an Asian bakery by just a couple visits late at night when they are kind of sold out! Next up is a nice katsu dinner and a table to myself.

My friends could not stop talking about this place so of course we had to stop by. It was stop #1 on our roadtrip to SD and boy, I could understand why they were hyping this place up! All the pastries we ordered were so good. The flavors and textures of all the breads were worth trying out. After all, carbs are life, amirite?!

The red bean bun was not warm or hot so that was kind of sad but taste wise it was good (7/10). They have a variety of sandwich options but I chose the milk bread sandwich assortment with egg, tuna, ham, and turkey filling (8/10). I liked how you could taste different fillings and just buy one pack. The inside is very spacious and plenty of seating areas. There is also a very spacious parking lot and street parking available. The workers are always friendly and able to quickly assist you. Overall, this is a very good place to grab bread and meet up with people but the food is just average. The only exceptional items would be the strawberry cream croissant and the milk bread loaves.

Strawberry croissants!! The famous Cream Pan that is well known for strawberry croissants is now in the South Bay! I am thrilled that they now have Cream Pan Bakery in Lomita. This Japanese bakery has the best strawberry croissants. The croissants are so soft and the strawberries are so fresh. Powdered sugar on the outside and sweet cream in the inside; these strawberry croissants are the perfect sweet indulgence. There's more than just strawberry croissants here though. They've got lots of sweet and savory options! For the sweets; they've got delightful offerings such as matcha cakes, raspberry tarts, fruit cakes. For the savory; they've got curry plates, spam musubi, Japanese sandwiches and steamed buns. They also have a coffee and tea bar! This spot is amazing. Aside from having a huge menu selection; they also have a pretty huge place. It's quite spacious inside and they even have a large window where you can see the kitchen and see the baking magic happen :). I also love how they open at 5am every day and close at 7pm every day. The hours make it perfect for early risers to enjoy fresh baked pastries and coffee. I came here around 7:30am one Sunday and was quite happy getting my strawberry croissant and hot hazelnut latte! I also like how they close at 7pm; because it gives folks the chance to grab some dinner like their curry plates. Cream Pan Bakery in Lomita will definitely be a go-to spot for me. Hmm I see myself being a Yelp regular or maybe duchess soon ;).

Glad this came to the South Bay and so close to my home! What a pleasant bakery with so many wonderful pastry options! They are mostly famous for their strawberry cream croissants. It's in their refrigerated section. It's pretty delicious and definitely worth purchasing in bulk to share with others! I personally really enjoy the regular cream puffs that's right next to the strawberry ones. I also really like their egg sandwiches. * ample parking! * great location and early hours * quick service * great indoor seating environment I'm not a big fan of their other bread choices. Didn't particularly enjoy some of their twist donuts/ croissants / other dry pastries. I believe all bakeries should have good solid croissants but I found theirs to be dry and slightly stale tasting. Other than their cream puff and strawberry puff pastry in the refrigerated section - the other pastries are just normal.

Fantastic Japanese style bakery in Torrance area. Go early if you want the freshest. They don't run out of good stuff for hours. Food is fantastic, not too sweet and fairly priced. Try their famous cased pastries, but also their traditional baked goods, and Sandos. Service is great as you'd expect. They make hand crafted beverages too. Great complement to the food. Seating is abundant. Family friendly.

I've driven past this place at least a thousand times and every time I pass by I see I'm going to go in well this time I actually did. The food here is pretty amazing honestly I got the strawberry stuffed croissants and a cheesecake. Both were so good they were gone in one day that cheesecake isn't super light but it also isn't super heavy it's actually perfect and the crust I wish was a little bit thicker but they know what they're doing obviously and that's why I'm buying their products would definitely come back again

Sooooo happy they opened a Cream Pan so close to us! Food- fantastic. Service- fantastic. Pricing- fantastic. Literally the perfect neighborhood bakery!! We've ordered their Strawberry Shortcake for a few birthdays and they never disappoint. Their Cream Azuki bread is sooooo good. My family loves their agepan, and they have the best nikuman in LA. Their curry pan is also bomb. I've recently noticed that although their cold brew and drip coffee are not great, their espresso drinks are amazing! I've also ordered their katsu curry and their curry is super flavorful and katsu is fresh. They also randomly have really good California rolls. This place is a 5 star bakery no doubt. So happy to have them close by!

From amazing pastries, to great coffee, I will say Josh went above and beyond with his talented skills! From great pastry recommendations, to talented skills behind the coffee bar!! Thanks for making our day...

The Vanilla Oat Latte here is not for me, but if it's for you, great! Definitely my first and last time getting a drink here. It was my first time at this location and there was a line, so I felt compelled to buy more because the wait. Also, don't come here hungry because I assure you, you will buy more than what you initially wanted. At least, that was what happened in my case. When we go here, we usually get the Strawberry Croissants/ Cream Puffs and occasionally, we'll get a cake. However, the Boston Cream Donut and Oatmeal Cookie were speaking to me and they're both also a no for me. I'll just stick with the usuals. The staff were nice and the line does move quickly. There is a parking lot, but I just chose to park on the street.

Excellent service and cake pre-ordering for pick up. Strawberry custard croissants were crisp outside, creamy custard and fresh strawberries were a big hit at the party. Chocolate cake, not great. I'm not sure why it had a banana flavor?! Maybe stored wrong? Light chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and fresh berries on top. Beautiful to look at, but cake was dry, and an unapPEALing, strong banana flavor. It was pricey, but I wouldn't have minded the price if it was good. Great to see this chain has expanded outside of the original Tustin location. Beautifully designed modern ambiance at this location.

Love this location, great seating and the strawberry croissants are soooo good. They have a perfect balance of custard, strawberry, and airy pastry.

I moved to Long Beach and my nearest branch was this place. Consistently good after all these years! Santa Ana spot was my go to for pastries and sandwiches! Their strawberry with cream croissants is still the best! The service was fast since most customers there are regulars they come to pickup what they want so the flow is fast!:) can't wait to go back for the holidays

Fast paced establishment, they take cards and cash. Several different treats of various prices. I was excited to see the onigiri for $2 each, but it didn't taste memorable. The other disappointment was the custard , it was too sweet. The crossaints, cake, and sandwiches are worth the trip and wide hips! These items keep me coming back. Very clean establishment, and modern.

This place was recommended by a friend, and I already have come here twice! When I came here for the first time, it was just after 8am on Saturday, but the parking was already full which is the good sign! Everything I tried was actually very tasty and also very reasonable...no wonder why it's so popular! This will be my regular bakery...

I finally tried more of the pastries here and they didn't disappoint except for one - the orange brioche. It was so tasty on top but the bottom half of the bread was dry. The raspberry cream cheese pastry has the texture of a croissant and is so good. The cream pan is the more simple pastry but soooo soft and that cream inside is heavenly. The Boston Cream donut was delicious. And I finally had the two red bean items. The steamed bun with red bean was good but that red bean pastry (refrigerated case) was AMAZING! It had red bean and cream - I died.

Glad this bakery was open since I flew in from LV very early & wanted something light.....blueberry croissant, tuna sando, & hazelnut latte all tasted yummy. I was looking for my fave chocolate croissant, but had to give the blueberry one a try since there was no chocolate & it was a winner- creamy, flaky, & just enough sweetness per bite. Thankful to my birthday cousin & hubby for taking me here. Looking forward to the strawberry creme croissant for snack later!

4+ I was looking for something easily portable for a small get together in the area. I found this place and it seemed perfect for me to bring dessert items. Since I only came in to pick up items (pre packaged strawberry croissants - easy and convenient!), I wasn't able to try their other food items that look like you can dine in with. I came here a little later on a Saturday night before close. The place itself is pretty large, but it was empty at the time. In terms of service, I thought the people were friendly, but there was minimal interaction as I really just walk in saw the package I was looking for and pretty much just grabbed it, paid, and left. I enjoyed, as well as other people from the get together, the strawberry croissants. Fresh strawberries, some creamy filling, and in a nice flaky pastry handheld package. Definitely easy item for group gatherings and I don't think they're too sweet either.

I'm so glad they opened a location nearby & I don't have to drive all the way to Irvine anymore! As you may already know, their strawberry cream croissant is to DIE FOR. Whenever I have to go to a potluck or some sort of gathering, Cream Pan is always the move. I've never heard anyone say anything bad about their croissants!! I love how they offer huge quantities as well, and note that you should always buy extra!! I've had plenty of people tell me they're "only going to eat one," and quickly reach for another after they've had their fix. SO ADDICTING! Even if you're "too full for dessert," there's always room for Cream Pan.

We went to the cream pan last night and my boyfriend and I were shocked to see this note on the tables. I understand why they had the notes but it seemed a bit rude, and it was a bit of a turn off.

Arrived at around 4 pm on a Friday! I was excited to try their musubis, but they were sold out. The worker told us that you need to come in the morning or afternoon to get their sandwiches or musubis, as they sell out quickly. We tried the strawberry croissant with custard, one of their most popular items. They still had quite a bit left of these. It was pretty good, and it was flaky & sweet. I also tried the steamed pork buns. The outside was the softest, fluffiest bun that I've ever tried. The inside was just okay though. A lot of their other selection reminded me of 85 degrees bakery. They also have such nice seating inside! I'm not sure if they have wifi, but it seems like a nice place to get work done if they do. Their bathrooms were also super clean. I will definitely be back. Hopefully I can try their ume musubi next time! They also have a few coffee drinks on the menu, which a lot of people were ordering.

We were thrilled to find that there was a Cream Pan outside of Irvine when we traveled down to socal. Immediately, we knew we had to come get it. Strawberry custard croissant - 10/5, delightful little croissant with fresh slices of strawberries, creamy custard, and powdered sugar. These were so good that we had to go get more after sharing 3 croissants! Red bean pastry - 4.5/5, a little puff pastry filled with delicious red bean paste topped with powdered sugar. We also got a second one of this because it was so good. Curry croquette - 3/5, I think it was a curry croquette, it was alright. Maybe better if it was heated up. It still had a tiny bit if crunch and was soft.

Best katsu sandos in town, The strawberry croissant is probably my favorite dessert pastry now. Perfectly crispy with the right amount of sweetness. Drooling while writing this review

I am so excited I found a cream pan close to me! I used to always go to the one in Tustin, and just recently discovered this location. It's so clean and definitely a lot bigger. There is so much more food selections and pastries with seating inside. Service was so fast and friendly, there was a long line but it was not a long wait at all. I only went in for their infamous strawberry croissant-- but I will definitely come back to sit down and eat here with my family

We walked to this cream pan because we were craving something sweet before dinner. There's a pretty spacious parking lot but all spaces are supposedly 1 hour parking. Inside is also spacious and clean. The interior is well decorated and there are tables lining the walls for groups to sit. There is also wifi available, the password is located on the far wall when you turn left. There is a bathroom that does not require a code if you head straight from where you enter. We got the 6 piece strawberry croissants and quickly finished 4 between my wife and I before we even left. The croissants are filled with fresh sliced strawberries and layered with a custard filling. They are dusted with powdered sugar to finish it off. It's hard to stop after one. It's a great dessert to bring to any potluck gathering!

This place is very close to where i I work. I've now been here twice. It's a really great place. They are a bakery. But they are more than that. They have sushi, sandwiches, steamed pork buns, and coffee dribks. I've gotten food here twice now. The steamed pork buns are delicious. They're not cha siu bao, with bbq pork filling. But the one I've had is a savory pork with onion and spices. Very tasty. I had two different sushi types: one was good, the other was not my thing. The spicy tuna cut roll was pretty good, and was fresh. The spicy tuna with mayo hand roll was not my thing. It' tasted like it's made with canned tuna. I don't fault them for me not liking this. It's just not what I expected or wanted. But I couldn't eat more than a bite. I want to try the spam mitsubi, but they were out both times. A blueberry danish was wonderful, flaky and delicious. The space has a white-dominant motif. It feels very clean and open. You get in a line , pick up what you want or order things the servers get for you, then pay. The servers are very efficient and the live moves quickly. This will be a place I go to often. Can't wait to try more things.

Love a new bakery Bright, clean Tons of pastries and breads to choose from Has ample parking space Yummy pastries Will come back to try their other stuff
