What a cute cafe on the 1st Floor of the County Admin. building! Got a small Americano w/ steamed Oat Milk for an early am treat. I wasn't hungry @ the time but kept eyeing a picture of a breakfast croissant with bacon, folded egg, and avocado with cheese. After my appointment, I went back and ordered the breakfast croissant sandwich, adding avocado; I love it when a place serves breakfast all day. I told the lady "I want what is in that picture" LOL. And then with my little eye, I spy yummy desserts & snagged the last piece of the "Outrageously Chocolate Cake." The lady said that it sells out all the time, & having devoured it without breathing, I can tell you it hits the spot for all Chocolate Lovers :) All of the staff were kind and helpful; The lady packaged my cake separately from the hot item, with napkins and utensils included. I love a really nice cafe that has various options; I see they even had ready-made smoothies, along with a wide assortment of sandwiches & salads. Even a ginger beer - one of my favorite drinks- though today I opted for the Pineapple Perrier. They also have Mexican food and other snacks if you are craving some other delicacies. Thanks to the wonderful staff & excellent food. read more

Well secured in the county building. 2 hour parking in the connected parking lot or structure parking. On the north end courtyard they host farmers market every Wednesday. Lots of options for food in the downtown area. This is a little hidden gem. After a security check at the main entrance head straight and crème will be on the right hand side. Plenty of inside seating. Service was great! So friendly and welcoming. Coffee, teas and smoothies, Acai bowls, panini sandwiches burgers and salads. Make sure to check the specials board. read more

Prices for some items are outrageous but that should be expected when you're paying for convenience. Service is always good. I have yet to walk in and see a mess; it's usually kept clean. read more

This is the worst service I've ever experienced and the worst CREME de le CREME location ever. The girls don't even open the store on time when someone is standing outside waiting to order a coffe and they're gossiping standing in front of the door. They walk past you while asking you a question. They have the worst attitudes and tones no matter if you're asking a question or ordering from them. I've given them weeks of a chance to change and they're like this EVERY DAY. Also the food is extremely overpriced and not worth it. read more

Vanilla latte iced coffee very gooood! 10/10 recommend there drinks! Aaliyah and Isela are very nice! Always go above and beyond for there customers sweet girls! read more

Horrible experience the girls they have there now are not friendly at all blonde hair one is always looking at her phone the one with glasses was in the restroom and didn't properly wash her hands! The manager needs to learn how to keep his employees longer the two young ladies are very lovely and always so nice. He's always getting rid of his good employees. Cafe always has his employees in & out that must say alot about management read more

Both atmosphere and food are great, especially for the price. Great place for jurors to get work done or just relax at lunch. Easy in and out and convenient location. read more

Yum Yum and Yum. A little on the pricey side but always a great place to go. Even if you are having dinner, you can stop in for dessert and coffee first. ;) The service is always friendly and very good. I've been here a handful of times and never been disappointed. read more

The service here is awesome - friendly and fast. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and it was very fresh tasting. The dressing needs a little more zing, maybe a little spice or such. I'll definitely return and try something new. read more

The club sandwich was so good! But the salad wasn't all that. The lettuce must've been bad but other wise I give a 6/10. read more

Updated review... I was confronted by the owner while having personal lunch in the building. Joe was very kind, offered an apology for the poor service & sad bowl that was previously served. We had a nice chat about the person in question and they no longer are employed at the cafe. I was given a replacement bowl to make up for the last, it was made properly. Still had frozen berries, which I agreed to, as they were out of fresh. Kind of a disappointment as Joe assured me there were fresh berries available now. read more

This place gets 5 stars for two reasons...1) good food and 2) no matter how bad I'm feeling, this offering on their doordash menu gets me laughing every time. I've actually called them and mentioned it, but it never gets removed. Maybe it really IS an explosive sandwich? read more

Creme de la Creme Cafe - maybe skip this item? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

Do not recommend. Food is pricey and subpar. Every time I've ordered here they mess up my order or don't have what I want and have to refund me or charge me an additional fee. It's just not worth it. read more

Apparently you can't access this coffee shop unless you're an employee of the building. There should be signs on the exterior signs stating as much. What a waste of my break! read more

Such a good place. The hot chai tea latte honestly the best I have ever had. Definitely recommend

This place is very over priced. I was very disappointed this morning . I ordered Steele cut oats for 4.95 when I get to the place to pick it up I was in shock on how Little the portion was . I can't go back .. I feel like this place cheated me The picture below looks like big but it's a scoop of oatmeal read more

This restaurant has recently taken the place of the long standing Atrium. They still have some issues to work out, but they are trying hard to iron out the kinks in the system. I'm hoping that the Créme of the Créme is successful because the employees in the building rely on them to provide good food and drinks. I'm rooting for them! read more

Service is very friendly and attentive. My latte was made right away and I appreciated they had milk alternatives as options. Didn't try the food but around breakfast time they had really good looking hot and cold options. I will be back to try more next time I'm here! read more

Had to come do an errand & the yummy smell of coffee called me in. The young girl at the register, Marina, also the barista, was super nice. I wanted something sweet and was going to get the Carmel Macchiato, but their Cafe Napoleon sounded so delicious. Decisions! She explained the Carmel Macchiato was sweeter than the Napoleon, but that one has raspberry in it and it intrigued me. I figured I would try something different since I can get a caramel macchiato anywhere. Oh my goodness! SO GOOD! Sweet and delicious! Must try! And I'm sitting here writing my review outside and the girl is working alone and still smiling at everyone! Such a great little find! read more

Creme de la Creme Cafe - Little treasure in the Riverside County Building! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Riverside, California

"The Total Package" genuine fine and fun dining with family owners. Location is a bit off beaten path but well worth tracking down. Love that everything is freshly made to order! Un petite treasure! read more

Located inside the city building, if you're running an errand or nearby, this bakery/cafe is definitely worth a stop. They offer specialty coffee drinks, baked items, made-to-order gourmet breakfast and sandwiches. Everything I tried was fresh, delicious and prepared to order. I had a frosted chocolate brownie that was one of the best in my life! I also tried the croissant breakfast sandwich, which was so big I ended up splitting it with my mom. The half size turkey club was also large and even included a pickle, chips and a cookie. All the baked goods looked fantastic and my husband said his bagel and cream cheese were great. read more

If you have not tried the Fish Tacos here you are seriously missing out. I work in the building and I eat here pretty regularly, but I am also a Serious creature of habit and I tend to order the same thing over and over again. Paninis are great, breakfast platters, are delicious. I mean why mess with what you know right, but today I was in the mood for something tasty but different. So, I tried the grilled fish tacos AND let me tell you I was not disappointed!! They were SO good!!!!!!! They will definitely be a new regular purchase for me because just YUM!!!! read more

I ordered a guacamole cheese burger with provolone cheese with a side of fries. I was not able to eat my lunch how we got released early. So I took it home. Got home took a bit of my burger and it was pink! Keep in mind they never asked. I don't like my burgers with any pink at all. So I told my husband hey eat it. I had the fries. I am now extremely sick! I strongly believe I got food poisoning. Have not been able to stop vomiting!! Started vomiting since 5pm. What a dam way to start my Christmas.. never again going here! It's extremely expensive... read more

Worst breakfast croissant ever! Why would u microwave a croissant in the first place, it looked like a pancake, or perhaps more like an omelet? No it clearly says on my receipt "Croissant Breakfast San" I guess the "San" could stand for something else... Is the food supposed to make funny sounds inside me, or am I too sensitive to understand the sophistication of the design? One of the worst ways to start your day! Ohhh... "San" So amazing, NOT!!! read more

Well first of all the baked goods are not fresh. One employee tried to argue with me that they are fresh because they bake them at a different location , freeze them, then defrost them at this downtown location. Ummm..... that is not fresh. Oh!!! I noticed this because the cupcake was dry and the frosting was hard. So I returned that $4 cupcake. So I go there again.... this time for a bagel. I asked for the bagel not to be toasted, just cut in half. The employee says she has to microwave it to cut it since the bagels are still a little frozen . Really!!!! Final straw!!! I'm done with this place. Over priced frozen baked goods. Oh!! This is not a bakery, just a cafe. That is how they can get away with not having freshly baked items. Sneaky. read more

Below average food, very high prices. Cheeseburger combo here is $11.00. Cheeseburger combo at Farmer Boys down the street is $5.00. Takes advantage of County employees looking for convenience. read more

I have been very happy with Creme de la Creme since they opened. I recently submitted a complaint through their website that my burger was overcook. They replied very quickly and made sure my next burger was excellent. The food is good and they take care of their customers. I can't ask for much more. read more

When I go to a bakery I expect a fresh desert. That is not what I received today. The cake tastes and feels like it was made a week ago. The outside of the cake was hard and the icing was not good. Since they are coming off a long holiday, one would expect the pastries to be freshly made. I am disappointed in how this bakery went from pretty good food and deserts when they fist opened to gross in just a matter of weeks. I will find a new place to go from now on. read more

Just had a half sandwich, chips and a cookie at the new Creme de la Creme inside the County building in Riverside. All was excellent! I will definitely be going back! read more

Spent Sunday sitting at their bistro table , eating calzones. Totally awesome time. Well be stopping by again when we're down this way. The moistness & the selection was relieving. You don't find places like this anymore. I'd like to see them add a barista & serve some foam vanilla lattes read more
