The Crema Cafe

Great place for a nice breakfast/ brunch. A local friend brought us here and we really liked it. She recommended to get here by 8 am to make sure we didn’t have to wait. It was worth waking up early on a Sunday! The coffee is delicious and they have free refills if you are eating here. The chicken pesto crepe was delicious 🤤 and it came with oven roasted potatoes. I also tried the roasted veggies Benedict and it was good, but the crepe was better! They also have nice pastries. My favorite was the raspberry pop tart, wow! We sat outside and really enjoyed our breakfast. I would come back and prices seems to be reasonable for the quality.

The service was great very attentive! The coffee we got was super sugary but they remade it for us. The Parisian Benedict didn’t taste as great as I hoped - it was nice to try something different but the whole thing is quite mushy in texture. The wait was pretty long but they have a good online waiting system through yelp, so we could walk around while we waited to be called for our table.

Great coffee place and brunch in the middle of Seal Beach. Jackie was amazing and took care of us with a warmth friendly attitude. I can't wait to come back to this place again and again. 🙂

Great place to have brunch! We were looking for a place that was not too heavy but not too light in terms of food on their menu. Tried their chorizo benedict and their banana foster crepe and mmmmmm! 👌 seems like this place is busy around noon which was when we arrived. They have a waitlist, and the wait was about 30 minutes but was worth the wait. Would definitely go back again and try other food on their menu. Parking is a bit difficult though.

Jacke was amazing and the Seal Beach omelet was incredible. Hubby got the savory crepe with artichoke and chicken was so tasty and filling. Definitely will come back!

If you want to enjoy a nice and tasty brunch after a heavy morning walk or jog, this is the place to be. Keep in mind that this place is usually very crowded so expect 30-40 min wait around 10-12 in the morning. Tech servers are nice but may not be knowledgeable on their options, so please confirm. To give a context, one server said they offer freshly squeezed orange juice but next time another server said they don't offer such and other server might have just said it for time being. Even with this, food is very tasty and plentiful. Price is a bit high but the quantity justifies it. Food quality : 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Value for money: 4/5 Free parking for 2 hours on the streets and should not be an issue on weekends.

We love the baked goods! Get there early for the best selection. The pretzel chocolate croissants and cinnamon pull aparts are fantastic! We had breakfast. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and I had sausage and eggs and a London Fog. Even with the hot,humid day. The outside seating, the greenery makes me understand why during busy times ( this wasn’t) they limit your time to 1 hour. This was our second visit are first eat in experience and we will be back!

Cuban sandwich was awful. I asked for more mustard aioli cause my sandwich was so dry it was inedible and they brought me a couple packets of Heinz mustard. Our server was extremely inattentive and was talking to the hostess the whole time. There was syrup all over the floor. Overall terrible experience. I will not be returning.

Sonny, yesterday my life was filled with rain Sonny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain Now the dark days are done and the bright days are here My Sonny one shines so sincere Sonny one so true, l love you Sonny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet Sonny, thank you for the love you've brought my way You gave to me your all and all And now I feel ten feet tall Sonny one so true, l love you.... Sonny thank, you for the bagel sandwich you recommended, you hooked it up!!!! Creama crew is the best!!!!

============== 500th Yelp Review ============== Everyone goes to Crema so I don't really need to toot it's horn too much, I'm just going to say yes it's as good as you can imagine for the price for a casual sit down restaurant for breakfast / lunch. Pro tip though, if the Yelp check in wait is too long you can order the same food to-go at the bakery counter for pickup, and it will be ready pretty expeditiously in my experience. I will also say like most places in Seal Beach dining-wise it's not really the most dog friendly so maybe skip out and go to LB or Huntington for that.

Ordered Sweet Crepe-Strawberry Banana for my breakfast. The food came fast and large portion. Friendly Service and cozy ambiance.

Great spot on Main Street with lovely outdoor dining. The tuna melt was a thing of beauty with a perfect balance of cheesy goodness and expertly seasoned tuna! The salad was a perfect accompaniment.

This is more like a 3.5-star kind of place. I'm a huge fan of Crema Artisans baked goods from quiches to cookies and croissants. I have never been to their actual Cafe in Seal Beach, but through the Orange Homegrown Farmer's Market and OC Baking Company pop-up, I was able to try a lot of their goodies. I'm a bit disappointed with the Crema Cafe. I arrived shortly after 9 on a Saturday (10/14/2023) morning, and there was already a wait list through Yelp to get a table. No problem, that's how these brunch places are often on a Saturday morning. However, I saw that there were several available tables inside and outside the restaurant. There were also plenty of servers with two dedicated hostesses who weren't seating people! They open at 7am, so it's not because they were just beginning to seat people. For whatever reason, they just took their time and always kept tables open and unseated. This just isn't a good look when it looks like you can have more people seated. Prices are pretty outrageous for the amount of food you get. My Parisian Benedict was small for $18+. I'm a light eater, and I was able to finish the whole thing by myself. Was it good? Yes. But it wasn't worth the price. My hubby ordered the Chilaquiles for just shy of $18. Was it good? Yes. But again, not worth the price. The Vanilla Latte ($5.25) was good, and I think it's okay for the price. Sadly, even though the food is good, I won't be back. This place is quite far for me anyway, but I really don't recommend it to anyone unless you happen to be in the area and eating pricey brunch food is your thing. I will still continue to support Crema through their Farmer's Market and future pop-ups, but this Crema Cafe in Seal Beach is a no-go.

Love....this....place! First of all, Seal Beach Main Street is awesome. Do not go to Huntington Beach Main Street unless you want a touristy type of experience. Seal Beach is locals, much more low key, friendly people and more relaxed. By the way, make a reservation if its a Friday through Sunday, you'll be glad you did. We arrived a smidge early but the four of us were seated promptly outside on the lovely patio. Our friend popped over to the bakery to check out the selection and we ordered a delicious pop tart and cinnamon pull apart to share. I think I'm spoiled from ever eating a regular pop tart again. So moist, no dry crust. I ordered the Parisian Benedict with a side of fruit. Here's the description. "Fried eggs, brie cheese, bacon, hollandaise, served on our own butter croissant" Yes, it was delicious. Their homemade croissants are massive, so tender and flaky. Everyone in our group was so happy with their choices.

A hour hour time limit on a table for brunch on a Sunday? So, I wait 45 minutes to an hour to get in with my family and have to hurry up leave in an hour so you can turn tables as fast as possible to maximize your profit? That's effing lame. What did you guys work in the airline industry before? So not only do we have to put up with continuously rising prices and lowering qualitu, but also this kind of mentality for customer service. F this. I'm not supporting this and neither should you.

The service the business staff members offer is superb. Always patient when taking the orders. Their food is amazing. As usual the place is always clean. Music is great, over all a great local spot. Make sure you come with plenty of time, they do get busy.

They deserve 3.5 stars, but definitely not a 4. It's on Main Street in Old Town Seal Beach close to PCH, not by the pier side. Good service, a little touristy, nice outdoor seating, but super pricey!! The food is decent, but $16 for a breakfast sandwich with rock hard dry bacon and $17 for a veggie crepe is a little wild in my opinion. With coffee and tip we paid over $50 for breakfast for 2. It was a culture shock considering we were in Italy for the past 2 weeks, having the best breakfast of our lives for less than half the price. Our waitress Cami was super kind and attentive. We had our dog with us, I'm down to return, but not get food. Maybe stop in for coffee and a croissant. TIP! If you go on a weekend you'll have to deal with about 100, 55-80 year old cyclists. I think they all ride in from Leisure World or something. Nice crowd, but it's a lot.

This cool little bakery/cafe is located on Main Street in Seal Beach, close to PCH. They serve breakfast and lunch. You can grab a pastry and coffee to go or sit down and have a meal served inside or out on their large patio. I sat inside and initially ordered a vanilla latte and a cinnamon roll. The latte was excellent although it took a little while for it to cool down enough to drink. The cinnamon roll was fantastic. I had spotted the cinnamon rolls among the many pastries behind the glass at the counter and knew I had to have one. The frosting was perfect, not too sweet but plenty of it to blend with the soft and fresh cinnamon-covered bun. I realized I was still really hungry for a full breakfast so ordered a bacon and eggs breakfast which came with toast (I chose sourdough) and either potatoes or fruit (I chose potatoes). The scrambled eggs were plentiful and cooked perfectly and the three strips of bacon were crisp and delicious. The toast was fine especially after adding some strawberry jam from those little mini containers you find in cafes. The potatoes were disappointing for me. I didn't think they had much flavor - not really seasoned at all but with a few caramelized onions. I don't care for onions on my breakfast potatoes so my less than enthusiastic response had to do with my personal taste but it's apparent many reviewers love these potatoes a lot more than I did. Price was good for the large amount of food. The service was friendly and the food was served quickly. Definitely a hot spot for breakfast or pastries near the beach.

Crema Cafe is a true coffee haven. The rich aroma of their exceptional coffee and fresh bread greets you as you enter! Beyond their great coffee brews, their fresh-baked bread and pastries elevate the experience. I came across this place while strolling and this place was bustling with activity! A testament to its popularity, the wait is a small price to pay (that is worth it) for the delicious treats and the warm, inviting ambiance. It's become my go-to spot for a delightful coffee everytime I come here. This cafe is definitely a hidden gem worth discovering!

This is a cute place to have breakfast/brunch in Seal Beach. Parking was not as painful as I thought - there's free street parking if you're lucky and a small lot nearby that has inexpensive parking for a few dollars (pay via app or meter). Layout is cute with both indoor and outdoor seating. It has cozy decor inside and a bakery. Menu is extensive and has something for everyone. There are some more interesting options compared to some other breakfast spots in the surrounding area. I ordered a Mushroom Chicken Crepe ($17.90). It was a nice hefty portion and came with the option for a side of fries or salad. The fries were nothing special, but the crepe was tasty. It was crispy on the edged and very buttery. The chicken and mushrooms were seasoned well. Overall, looking forward to coming back for a quiet breakfast.

Love both the sweet and savory crepes. Great meeting spot to sit outdoors and relax. Servers are friendly and coffees are presented prettily.

Good food. Quick wait. Friendly and attentive service. We only waited a short while. Order was taken with a smile and food came to table quickly. We were checked on frequently. Everything was perfect.

Good coffee & food, the service was great I recommend the avocado toast and a chai late..yum.

Delicious salad!!! Stopped in on my drive from Newport Beach to Naples. I have been by this location many times while visiting other restaurants. I love visiting the Seal Beach pier & finally decided to give it a try. I'm very happy I did. I placed an order for a salad to go. I ordered the Club Salad and enjoyed every bite of it. It was chock-full of sliced turkey, fresh avacado, bacon, and cheese. I opted for their housemaid salad dressing, and it was the perfect choice. It comes with a slice of their homemade honey wheat bread, also delicious! I would have given them five stars, but I was in a bit of a rush, and my order took a little longer than I expected. Other than that the service was amazing, and so was the salad! I will definitely be returning to the spot.

Went to Crema Cafe on a Sunday morning. I put my name on the list for 4 and waited about 30-40 minutes. You can buy a coffee or drink while you wait and walk around the area. Parking was okay. You can look for street parking or there is a lot nearby that charges $1/hour. Most have 2 hour limits. Once we were seated, service was great. The fitness omelette was a healthy, delicious option. A little on the watery side. The french toast was a tad dry but still tasty. All in all, nice place to go with friends and enjoy breakfast! The pier is nearby, for a beautiful walk afterwards.

I thoroughly enjoyed this woman run Cafè. It's built like it from the 50's or 60's but modern enough to not feel like we went back in time. All the food that comes out of the kitchen looked amazing!! I got a breakfast burrito to-go and it was fireeeee! I love how they customized my carry out bag--S/O to that lovely artist. 5 star worthy: - Customer Service - Music - Outdoor Seating - Quality of food 4 star worthy: - Parking (or lack thereof) - Tight quarters - Speed of receiving food - Location of bathroom Yelppie Tip: can get pretty busy so I would order ahead. P.S. only gave 4 stars because I haven't tried several things on the menu, but will certainly be back and will update as I try more items.

This is my place to go for Eggs Benedict. I can't rave enough about how good their breakfast foods are. Great portions and flavors are on point. I love sitting outside and people watching too. Service is always very attentive and quick.

I went here for dinner. I was surprised how good the food was for dinner. I had the bolognese pasta. Ambiance was nice. Good date place. I've had their crepes before. They're very good too. I recommend this to anyone wanting a peaceful and calm atmosphere with good food. Service was superb.

Came to this cafe to enjoy some lunch and the place was really nice and the staff too at first... then when I got my food and started eating I noticed a hair. I called a staff member to let them know and one of the servers apologized profusely which I appreciate but after the fact I had two other servers come up stating it was dog hair and not human hair . "Just wanted to let you know it was dog hair just so you're aware" is what one staff member stated..As if that were to make things better. The rest of the staff then continued to give attitude the rest of my stay. It was a bummer that's how it all ended and the lack of hospitality this place had.

Great location, great service - Good food! We love their potatoes, their crepes - and most of the time their omelets.

If you are hungry and need a big breakfast to get you through the morning this is place. I started with their white chocolate mocha coffee, served hot and a very good tasting coffee. This place usually draws a crowd so prepare to wait. I waited 30 min for a table for 2 . They sat us in the outside dining area which was shaded with trees and umbrellas and was nice and comfortable. It is a dog friendly place I assume because we did see dogs hanging out . The meal: It came out pretty fast after ordering. I ordered the Seal Beach omelette, potatoes and sourdough. Pretty hearty breakfast but it's just what I wanted. Then omelette had generous amounts of bacon veggies and topped with a slice of avocado and it was made just to my liking . Like I mentioned earlier, be prepared to wait , they do take your name down and phone number and will call/text you when your table is ready . It's in the middle of Main St and there andre plenty of shops to look around to kill time. This is a little gem here in Seal beach, I'm glad I stopped by.

Bustling and busy cafe on Main Street in Seal beach serves up an amazing breakfast. They have a variety of offerings and a quick service cafe on the side. Outdoor seating is nice and they take reservations

Located along Main St. in Seal Beach, this was the most adorable spot! Stopped by with some coworkers for a late brunch and were seated outside. Their menu is absolutely huge! It felt like very brunch/lunch food under the sun was on it. Feeling savory, I opted for the Fitness Omelette (egg whites, turkey, spinach, caramelized onions, parmesan cheese) with a side of roasted potatoes. My oh my... this was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Everything tasted so homey and warm. Especially loved the caramelized onions and roasted potatoes. Oh the potatoes... I could ramble on about them for days.

The food was delicious!! The service was warm and friendly and very considerate. The ambiance feels like you are at your own home eating breakfast/lunch. It feels cozy!!!

Love the food here but it's kinda pricey. Service used to be better but that's not a big deal. Location is cute, right by pier, and parking can be tricky sometimes. Love their crepes and egg dishes. Coffee is also good. They don't have tons of table so sometimes there's a wait. Give it a try if you are a breakfast lover!

Everything here tasted fresh. I enjoyed my Parisian Benedict. Their Strawberry, Banana Nutella Crepe was filled with all of the above. Many places low key don't give enough filling but this place sure doesn't and I appreciate that. Service was great. Outside seating is nice. Parking is a bit difficult and it seems to be in demand during weekend brunch time. They have two individual restrooms so there is not a lot of space there if there are a lot of people which there were when I went. I recommend making a reservation. People were waiting so we were happy to have made one.

12:26/22 We got turned down for the dining in option because they close at 2 o'clock and they have enough people on their list to carry them to closing time. Boo-hoo! Oh well, it doesn't stop us from checking out their pastries. What looked tempting & deviously decadent are the mini banana cream & key lime pies. Got those & we moved on to the next two shops looking to dine in. About an hour or so later (We had our lunch at Athena Blackboard Cafe), the two desserts were calling our names. Had just snagged an oatmilk latte from Humble maker. Oh it was the perfect marriage!! The banana cream pie was luscious & delicious. The bananas tasted fresh & the cream was delightful as well. The key lime pie was nice & tangy w/o being too sweet. A sip of the latte after tasting those two pies was so good. One of these days we're hoping to finally dine in & try their breakfast items, can't wait!

The service was good ! The food was good and the ambiance was nice i will definitely would come back. I had the seal Beach omelette

We stopped in for a veggie quiche for my mom.She loved it! My daughter also got pastries while we visited Seal Beach,big thumbs up! We will come for lunch next time for sure.It gets really busy here so plan on waiting for table!

Never have we been here and it was great split the Chile Quiles with my husband! Crispy, fresh and tasty I just loved our waitress Lauren also

Cream cafe is a really nice spot for meeting friends for brunch, food was great, the staff is always nice and attentive even when they get busy.

This place made the very best latte that has ever crossed my lips!!! Everything we ate was so fresh and delicious! The sourdough bread was thick and toasted just right and the sesame bagel had the perfect crisp on the outside but just perfectly chewy on the inside. The waitstaff were so nice and even helped with recommendations. I'm honestly kinda bummed that I live so far away but it gives me a good reason to come back!

Crema is a staple bakery, breakfast and lunch spot on the main drag in Seal Beach. I always order the avocado toast with poached eggs, I've tried other items on the menu and they're great but I always come back to my favorite. The coffee is strong and you can stay as long as you like or have a quick bite. There is a wait on weekends but the service is really efficient. And last but never least for those of use who love our pups, the patio is dog friendly.

Food & coffee were delicious. The service was fast, staff was courteous, ambiance was nice & cozy.

Great food and service. Nice outdoor seating area. Great location on the Main Street of town.

Love eating here! Their bakery goods are delicious, their restaurant brings food out to the table quickly, and the price is inexpensive relative to the quality of the meal

This is a wonderful Cafe near the beach they have big variety for brunch also Bakery and their lattes are great

Food was hot, flavorful and quick! Impecable service and an artisan beachy vibe. Will definitely seek this cafe out when in Seal Beach again.

I enjoyed the seal beach omelette. I did get the bread with it that is very good. My wife had the eggs Benedict with the Veges. The food is excellent and the vibe is terrific. It is generally busy but they have an easy method for the wait list. They are only open till 3 pm. Yolanda was the server who was excellent. Main Street in Seal Beach is a great place to walk around too.

Always a good breakfast here. Bizarre experience today though when we asked for an outdoor heater and the server said they have all been put away because it's summer. Considering it's April 6th and i could literally see 2 heaters from where i was sitting it was a very confusing statement. Saying the ones you have are currently in use would've been a much more understandable and sane response.

Great cute spot for outdoor cafe dining, latte was amazing! Food was good but slightly heavier than expected, ranch was not good at all. I was hoping for more of a healthier lunch but overall it's good and nice atmosphere

My new favorite spot to go to for Brunch! Service is always great, and the food is amazing. Their patio is mostly shaded as well so its perfect for the summer, can't wait to be back soon!

Delicious Cute street with different shops Cute little place Bread and dessert choices for before or after the mean mmmm I got the quiche lorraine it was good The salad was good but it came with globs of dressing which I didn't like Chai tea latte great!!!! Artichoke crepe and eggs Benedict my friends got were praised! Def recommend

We really like this place for the quality of the food and fresh and delicious overall. Baked goods were awesome. Dog friendly. A bit of a wait on most weekend days. Brunch time is the busiest so go earlier or around lunch. They're accommodating with dogs.

Never had a bad meal there. Basic breakfasts to brunch items to just getting baked goods. It never disappoints. Ignore the folks that say it's too expensive. It's no worse than elsewhere of the same quality. If you want cheap items go to Dennys. If you wanted cafe and bakery level food...pony up. It's cute, great servers, and delicious baked items. Their double chocolate chocolate chip muffin warmed up is sinfully good. I'll say the best time to go is not on weekend when the crowds and cyclist clubs take over the outside. Hit it up on a day off and then walk down to the pier to work off your muffin.

Breakfast is seldom my favorite meal, so I love a place that serves lunch for breakfast. Service was prompt and friendly. Less one star because Inside dining is limited, so this is definitely a fair weather dining experience. Avoid wet days and the middle of the day in the middle of a heat wave. Otherwise, it is a cozy little joint far enough away from the pier to avoid the crowds, but still close enough to walk off an overly-ambitious meal.

Location: Beautiful location right in seal beach. Parking: Parking is street so will have to drive around and get lucky, weekends are rough. During the week is no problem. Food: Food is delish, you can eat inside or outside. Breakfast items and full coffee kitchen.

What can I say? It's always great!! Came for breakfast with a friend and good thing I made a reservation because it was crowded. We wanted to sit inside and we're accommodated tg because it was chilly outside. Yummy coffee and yummy food. Will be back for another special occasion.
