While known for their strawberry croissants - yum They have a nice selection for lunch! Sandwiches, salads, sushi and curry! Definitely worth stopping by to try them out! Something so comforting about their box sandwich with I quarter each of a ham, turkey, egg salad and tuna salad sandwich. But don't forget to grab a pastry or cake for dessert!! read more

Poll - Who likes burnt bread? It was an inconvenience having to drive back to the bakery but the staff member had no issues exchanging our burnt baguettes. Personally, I wouldn't have set these out to sell but according to the staff member, some people like their baguettes burnt. Who knew? I appreciate the Maillard reaction but black char on rock hard baguette is not for me, nor the need for dental work. Here's my suggestion for the bakery: make it an option - separate the burnt ones from the non burnt ones so the customer can choose which ones to purchase. read more

I've bee wanting to try their cakes and strawberry croissants, and I had an opportunity to visit the place last Saturday. We bought a Strawberry cake and some strawberry croissants. The whipped cream and frosting on the cake was delicious and it's not too heavy and sweet . The vanilla cake was moist and creamy. We loved everything we've had. Service was fast, the line was not long when we got there. They have outdoor seating only. The place is clean. read more

We were shocked to see how many strawberry croissants they had prepped, but after eating them everything made sense! They were crisp and delicious, the custard was sweet and creamy, and the strawberries were fresh. We also tried the fruit tart and it was very good as well. read more

The strawberry croissant and the strawberry banana croissant were good. Not as fresh as I've had at other places.

I guess this place is really known for their Strawberry Croissants. Everyone was ordering them. I was different since I don't like strawberries, lol. I got the Boston doughnut and a butter croissant. The croissant was light and flakey, probably the best I've ever eaten. The Boston doughnut was fresh from the oven. The chocolate topping got all over my face. It was loaded with their delicious filling. This was my favorite of the two. This place gets crazy busy but the line moves fast. If you're in Old Town Tustin, give them a try. read more

Best service & bakery. Love the strawberry filled croissant. Yummy!! I buy platters to give to my clients. Great presentation!

Cream Pan was recently listed by Yelp as the #1 bakery in California, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit when in Tustin for business meetings. I became a true believer from just one bite of their famous strawberry croissant. This place is absolutely unbelievable. Practically a unicorn. The strawberry croissants are so fresh, cold, creamy, and fruity.. not typically the words I'd use to describe a delicious treat, but iykyk. Despite visiting during the late afternoon on a Wednesday, there was still a line of 15+ people out the door. Their team works both quick and efficiently.. it's not their first rodeo. Besides baked goods, Cream Pan crafts pre-made sushi, sandwiches, curry, coffee, and a number of other dishes. I ordered a sushi roll with a baked egg that was so yummy. I'd return for this alone. read more

Food isn't a wow factor. Expected the viral croissants to be an out of this world experience but it's only good. Flakey yes. More tart than sweet considering it was partially green on the tip of the strawberry. I did try other pastries but they weren't anything special. Service came off rude. I was ready to order and yet I felt like I was more of a bother than a customer. I would speak up with the team to be more inviting. No welcomes no going above and beyond. Ambiance was somewhat cute. If you take away from the random screens distancing the customers and workers(the worker had trouble hearing) over this factor & the line set up just doesn't work for the small shop. Overall will take my business elsewhere, I do not see the social media hype of this place or the loyalty on why others go back. read more

Their famous strawberry croissants are all you need to try to know why this place is so popular. They have other things too like baguettes, sliced walnut bread, cream donuts, etc. Everything is incredibly fresh and beautifully made, with very reasonable prices. You can truly see the dedication and effort they put into their baking through the high quality of their products. Highly recommended! read more

There may be imitators and legitimate branches, but this location brings both true quality in terms of all its baked goods, and a sense of nostalgia in a pre-COVID world. Of course everybody raves about the strawberry croissants, but shout out to the chicken curry roll, sushi, and both their espresso bar and pour-your-own coffee quality. Although the front entrance seems limited with lines wrapping to the left 24/7, don't forget the spacious outdoor seating in the back. The view of Old Tustin and park always helps me take a breather while I'm snacking. read more

A friend at work brought in some of the strawberry croissants! They were really good and looked so pretty. I feel dumb that I had never heard of Cream Pan until now, lol! I'd definitely recommend the famous strawberry croissants and if I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely stop in and take some treats to go. read more

The good: This is a Japanese bakery known for their strawberry puff pastry croissant with cream. It's delicate and light. They also sell savory dishes (but are often limited in their supply). We enjoy their curry. The prices for their pastries are fair. The bad: It rained the day before so they closed their outdoor patio area. The indoor space also didn't have anywhere for us to sit and eat. My mom and two kids ended up walking around outside to look for a place to enjoy our treats. The interior is smaller and not as spacious as their new location. It's not the most stroller friendly. They ran out of hand rolls and onigiri. The interesting: They offer catering which includes their cakes, sandwich trays, the strawberry croissants and sushi tray with California rolls. read more

The place have lots of desserts and good bakery lots of sweets and coffee busy place thers lots of parking spaces.

Fantastic japanese bakery! Cream Pan has a few locations and we were excited to try. We had the famous strawberry croissants and the azuki cream bun. The pastries were so light and delicate. Not overly sweet, which is my preference. Strawberry croissant was so delicious with the custard/cream inside with the fresh sliced strawberries. The azuki bun was light and airy and really yummy. Cannot wait to go back and try more items. read more

Strawberry pastries are a delicacy! The cream and strawberry combo is so good, and the pastry has the right amount of crunch. This location is relatively small, and depending on the time of day- there is sometimes a line. Beyond bakery items, they also have curry, rice balls/rolls, and coffee items. We try to make a visit anytime we are in the area- so worth the stop! read more

We dropped by here because I came here before. We bought the strawberry cream filled pastry which was so delicious! The cream wasn't too sweet and the pastry was light. A perfect blend of fruit and cream in the pastry! Service was quick. Shop was a bit quiet because we came in the middle of the day. Also, we got the ham & cheese croissant, chocolate croissant, apple strudel and raspberry & cream cheese tart. All totally scrumptious to eat as well. Definitely recommend this bakery for you to try their delicacies! read more

I always make sure to stop by and grab some strawberry croissants to take home when I'm in the area. Delicious and perfect with coffee. Service is great and always quick. Plenty of parking and seats outside. Make sure to try their other bakery items and coffees. Will always come back and recommend to friends and family. read more

I have to admit, I made fun of the name while driving to Hori Nori, only to have my friend and driver screech and say "oh my god, they have one here"..then suddenly I felt dumb, thinking what is this place and why is it inducing such excitement? We stepped in, I saw the strawberry croissants,bought 4, two for me and 2 for my gf's birthday to share with her mom later. Instantly, when I ate the first one later that day, I felt the "oh my god" this is sooooo gooood screaming in my head. The place was packed when we stepped in, and now I understand why! I will be coming back!!!!! The best , its light and fresh and creamy. I loved it! 10/10 read more

I love their desserts especially the strawberry croissant. I'm a huge fan of croissant and I might be influenced due to reading and watching Madeleine cartoon. I like strawberries because it brings back good memories. When you put that together you get nostalgia. I haven't found a place that makes it better than Cream Pan. The strawberries are sweet and the cream is to die for. Some places have squishy croissant because of the cream. The croissant can be flakey and moist inside from the butter. I had a friend who would bring me a platter of this on the airplane but it's not the squishy during the ride. It has the a nice vibe and very spacious. That was nice because it's enough for wheelchairs to go in. read more

I cannot agree more with the posts raving about the strawberry croissants. They are 110% amazing and deserve all the recognition. The strawberry croissants are a staple for any potluck/event delivering a delicate and flaky crust with fresh strawberries and a perfectly balanced cream. I absolutely love cream pan and all of their goodies. You must come early as there is a line for breakfast and lunch. In between times work best for the morning. Outside of the strawberry croissants I grab a melon pan, a random sando, and a pork bun. If I'm strong enough they'll make them home however, that's not the case and I'll eat them all before I get to me driveway. Service is great, friendly and efficient. Even if there is a line don't be too discouraged as they are able to quickly get their customers moving. It's a cute bakery filled with so many goodies. Theres not a lot of seating options inside but there's some scattered outside. They have a new location in fountain valley if that's closer to you! read more

I never get disappointed coming here. One of my favorite stops when I drive by Tustin. Their Strawberry Croissants are amazing, one of the main attractions. If you are allergic to that, they have a whole load of other baked goods ready along with Japanese style sandwiches and spam masubi rolls. It is my one stop shop for my breakfast/lunch craving or if I'm doing a long drive and pass by Tustin. Highly recommend this place, you just gotta wait in the long line for the reward. :D read more

I love their food but the place is so out dated. It needs major remodeling to attract customers fid pleasant environment. The bathroom is also so outdated. I go all the way to Torrance cream pan for better vibe. read more

I kept coming back here bc of my child but except for that I won't. Asian young girl, she looked like my daughter's age, shoo away with hand gesture.... I thought she called me for next line but it was not, ok then Could she just tell me with words? Where is the respect? Cream pan owner, I've been here since you started this business, how come you'd never show up store anymore? Where is your wife? Dnt you read any bad comments were always your employees attitude? read more

I am in love with this authentic old school bakery!! I saw that they had onigiri here and decided to visit super early morning. They had so many different flavors or onigiri but realized their pastries section was hugeeeee. Their strawberry croissants are the most popular item here-- and it sure is a must try. So soft and creamy!! The lines can get super long and you need to know what u wanna order cus the bakery line is so backed up but if you go in with a plan you will be fine!! Such good pricing as well. They had lots of loaves of bread as well for every day eats!! Definitely recommend trying out their delicious pastries and ONIGIRI :) read more

Wow... My partner truly knows all the best food all over. This was his favorite place to go to when he lived in this area and we ordered a box of strawberry croissants, curry bun and a roll. We really wanted to get some rice balls but the flavors we wanted were not available. We ate outside and oh my... Everything tasted so fresh and fluffy. In that moment I wanted to eat that entire box of strawberry croissants.... read more

A very clean and organized place. They created the Cream Pan pastry. A bunch with cream filling and cookie dough top. I decided to try the boa which was "the best boa" I ever tasted. The filling is pork and very well made. They also offer a sweet red bean one. So delicious!!!! So many items to choose. The service is very quick with many to help. I'm so happy I finally tried this bakery. read more

Always great pastries and food, but the staff NEVER seem like they actually want to help me or my friends (coming here for 6 yrs+). They just point and make you feel dumb for asking a simple question. I've worked at a bakery all my life, so I know it's not that hard to be nice and helpful to customers. read more

I actually go here to pick up sandwiches. They sell a mixed assortment of ham/cheese, egg, tuna, and turkey tucked in a box and just egg sandwiches. Both are excellent with the crust chopped off. If you are looking for delicious Japanese style sandwiches, check this place out! read more

Visited on 1/25/25! I absolutely love the strawberry croissants! It's a must when I'm in the area. I took a tray o these to a friends gathering. They loved them! The service is quick and if you go at the right time, you'll be in and out no problem. This place gets extremely busy as the day goes on and they sell out. It's a small place packed with some good sweets! The daily brewed coffee is good as well. read more

Overall: 2.6/5 (3 stars is generous and rounded up) Return again: Nay, not impressed. Recommend it: Nay, nothing special. Taste: 3/5 average, not bad, but also not impressed, "filo dough/croissant" is dry and with zero crunch Quality: 3/5 so-so and average Service: 2/5 ran out of drink items at 2pm? No brewed coffee or matcha? Value: 3/5 Affordable but average food X-factor: 2/5 no seating inside read more

Dropped by on a Thursday around 11am and there was no line! Decided to try thier famous strawberry croissant and am so glad I did because it was delicious. I loved how it was not too sweet, and had a good filling to croissant ratio. It wasn't too much or too little filling. The strawberries and custard paired very well with the croissant. I would definitely recommend getting this. I also tried their butter croissant and thought it was pretty good, but nothing special. No complaints about it, as the taste and texture is what you would expect from a croissant. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and am planning to come back for the strawberry croissant and to try more of their items! read more

I've fallen in love with cream pan's strawberry and cream croissants. They're small, but inexpensive and delicious. There's apparently always this huge line but it moved so fast! Don't let that long line deter you from grabbing a bite. They had a lot of baked goods and food and coffee. It's very casual and not trendy inside. They don't need it when the good is so good that's what brings the business. Its a mut try, must stop when in Tustin read more

Cream Pan - already opened tray of croissants - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

I had great hopes for this place. The outside and inside looks dated. The ambience is outdated. This is a bakery you pick up at. There's no chairs. The shelves are bare. Maybe it's because I came one hour before closing but they were out of almost everything! They had some slices of cakes. They had lots of strawberry cream pan. It was OK. I found this place on Instagram so I was very disappointed until I took a bite of their cream puff. Wow! It was pretty good! 9/10. They sprinkled salt on it, never had that before. The puff was soft but the cream! It was full and oozing. You can taste that was hand made. My teenager liked their Batard. He said it was just a good as Portos. So for that I'll give them 4 stars. The ambiance was 0/10. read more

Cream Pan never disappoints when I'm craving strawberry croissants. Even though i probably only need 4-6 for my family of 4, we always get the catered tray because we always want leftovers to eat the next day..lol. I haven't tried any of their other baked items except for their strawberry croissants and fresh baked bread. But honestly their strawberry croissants is what they are most known for! If you've never tried them before, you need to go and get yourself a catered tray of them!! I would've given 5 stars, but gave 4 because I wish the staff can be friendlier. A smile can go a long way. read more

Strawberry croissant and their egg spam musubis are the best! The strawberry croissant is not too sweet and the egg spam musubi is great for road trips. There will most likely be a line, but it will be worth the wait! read more

I ordered three trays of strawberry croissants (34 per tray, $228 total). When I picked them up, I simply asked for pastry liners so I could place the croissants into individual boxes with other treats. They told me they didn't have any. I then asked if I could use or even buy the liners they use for their scones in the display case. They refused and told me to go buy my own elsewhere. This was at 6:30 AM and I was serving everything at 8:00 AM; I didn't have time to run around looking for liners. Despite the amount I spent, they showed zero flexibility or willingness to help with a very small request. Very disappointing customer service. I will not be returning. There are many other bakeries that value their customers much more than this Cream Pan location. read more
