My husband and I recently dined at Creme De La Crepe in Hermosa Beach and, unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We were surprised to learn there had been a change in management, as we have enjoyed dining here many times in the past and have always had positive experiences with both the food and service. This visit was noticeably different. The manager/server who attended to us came across as cold, unfriendly, and rude, which made us feel unwelcome. In addition, the food was very bland and dry, far below the quality we had come to expect from this location. Because we have been loyal customers over the years, this experience was especially disappointing. I am currently waiting to hear back from the owner, as I hope these concerns will be addressed. At this point, we are uncertain whether we will return to this location. read more

My husband and I stopped by before the dinner rush during the week to have dessert with our newborn. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved that it was empty and open before dinner, most places close in between lunch and dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So it was great to see it open to take advantage of their delicious crepes. I ordered the lemon butter crepe which satisfied my friend crepe craving at the time. I believe my husband got something with almonds and powdered sugar. His was pretty good, I almost wanted to trade with him. He sometimes ends up ordering better than I do and I'm the self proclaimed foodie . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely loved the touch of the yellow roses. It set the mood and made me feel like I was somewhere in Paris on a date with my little family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best crepes I've had in the Southbay! read more

This was my first Creme de la Crepe, right here in Hermosa Beach. I found it shortly after an amazing trip through northern France, Paris, the Loire Valley and points east. I had loved the savory crepes I tried in Normandy, and the ones here were as good and fulfilling! This most recent trip I had the Savory Crepe Montagnarde with pommes de terre, prosciutto & Raclette fromage. Perfection! The little side salad and cornichons were a nice add-on. And, the portion ... big enough to share or take half home for later! Dessert of course was a sweet crepe, and I opted for a custom with melted chocolate, mango chunks, toasted almonds & speculoos spread, topped with fresh made whipped cream ... heaven. Also huge! I will be back again and again ... I am dying to do the Tuesday night all-you-can-eat mussels! read more

I went for a walk along side the beach with my cousin and after she left, I decided to check out a spot for breakfast and this place did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was early for rhe brunch crowd so it was quiet and plenty of seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the French Benedict, ever since I discovered Brie in breakfast! It was delicious. The potatoes were amazing and so was the jam that they served with the bread. I couldn't finish it. I did have the red sangria which was refreshed and the glass of the hibiscus mimosa, which looked super pretty but I'm pretty sure it's just champagne and a flower inside of it. Service was good and again, it was earlier on a Sunday so I avoided the brunch crowd and there was a decent amount of parking. read more

Came on Valentine's Day, seated pretty quickly. Waitresses are super nice and food came quickly . It's been a while since we first came here and we usually just get crepes. Coffee, soup and baguette were great. I feel like the crepe was not as good as it used to be. read more

We were the first ones in when they opened at 8 am on Sunday. The gal working was not the most friendly. Lavender lattes were good. I wanted a matcha latte but they were out. Salmon Benedict was good. We split it along with the crêpe that had baked cinnamon apples. That was simply okay. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathroom needed attention.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd return when in the area. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I had the cutest breakfast at this charming little French restaurant and already can't wait to go back![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the Madrid Omelette with cheddar cheese, avocado, sausage slices, salsa, and sour cream -- and wow. Each bite was absolutely delightful. It was paired with a creamy potato gratin, a fresh baby green salad, and a baguette served with homemade jam and butter. I completely cleaned my plate (which says everything!). I also had a lavender chai latte that was so tasty and perfectly balanced. I sat outside with my friend and my dog, and the server was so kind to bring my pup a bowl of water -- such a thoughtful touch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are only about five tables outside, which made it feel cozy and relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't get a chance to see the inside, but the outdoor seating was very comfortable and charming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu! read more

I was walking on Pier looking for somewhere to eat and the front of this restaurant looked very inviting so I went in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside of the restaurant is a bit small but it is made up by the fact there is seating available outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was great. Very attentive and made sure to check on me, which I appreciated. I ordered an omelet that came with some interesting and yummy potatoes and a salad. I ate every single bite on my plate. It was all delicious. The whole experience was enjoyable and I will definitely go back when I'm in the area again. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute little restaurant in Hermosa Beach, about a 10 minute walk from the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a pasta carbonara and the Veronica, which had cookies butter and toasted almonds and came with a side of vanilla ice cream. Doesn't seem like the carbonara was authentic, since it had ham and bacon, but nonetheless tasted delicious. But the star of the show was definitely their dessert crepe. I didn't want to stop eating. I also had a bite of my cousin's banana/Nutella crepe. I would come back to try their savory crepes to see how they fare compared to their sweet counterparts. read more

I always love crème de la crème. They have the best food. They use fresh ingredients. I love their eggs Benedict, but I also love their quiche. Their salad is the best. It's so simple but so good. It's something about that dressing and the fresh greens. I also love their jam. It's fresh jam and their little potato is really good like so good it's cheesy and perfect. I recommend a cappuccino and everybody's always pleasant there. It's just a great experience. I love Great you can never go wrong. I often go to the one in Long Beach, but this one is new and I really like this one as well. read more

We love this place! First, the food and presentation are excellent and delicious. The value given is spot on as well. Bruno, the owner-manager was very friendly and attentive, and the outdoor seating was comfortable. I recommend the tomato soup, it comes on a plate with croutons, parmesan cheese and French bread on the side, a very nice touch. The crepes are made with Buckwheat, a healthier option; the Vendome Crepe is a winner. The Grilled Salmon salad was generous and filled with many fresh ingredients. read more

Food: I ordered the seafood savoury crepe for my main and then a sweet crepe with chocolate drizzle, banana & strawberries inside. The crepe texture was far too rubbery and thick for my liking. The thickness of the outside of the crepe took away from the overall taste of the filling which was disappointing. I enjoyed the taste of the filling though. As for the dessert crepe, again, the crepe itself was not that great. Location: Great location, as it is on pier avenue in Hermosa and a 5 minute walk to the pier / beach. There's lots of meter parking nearby! Service: Service was ok. The inside is very limited in space so not recommended for larger parties. Also, the espresso machine that they kept using was VERY loud and obnoxious. I wish they could've put that machine in the back of dimmed the sound, as I could not hear the person I was with when that machines was being used. read more

If you want a little taste of France and a great eating experience, you will love this restaurant. The menu is extensive and offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar service. The buckwheat crepes are gluten free, flavorful and light. There are many crepe choices. We ordered the Montagnarde crepe, with a delish raclette cheese and potatoes inside and prosciutto and cornichons on top. And, we ordered the Marine crepe which had fresh shrimp, seared scallops, and a white wine cream sauce. The sauce was not too rich and the seafood was delicious. Both crepes came with a lovely baby greens salad and a creamy aioli type dressing which was perfect. I can't wait to come back and try other menu specialties. We came for lunch and ate outside, however there was seating indoors or at the bar. The server was very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of street parking and during the month of December the parking meters are turned off to encourage holiday shoppers and diners. The bill was $45 for both lunches and a cappuccino with tax. A great value for the atmosphere, service and most importantly the delicious food. I will be back and I hope you give it a try as well. read more

Felt like i was in a French café. My wife and I shared the CA omelette and a crepe. Both were delicious! My kids got the French toast and they loved the fruit and cream it came with. Crepes are a bit on the larger side which is why we shared. The place is a bit small but you'll be seated and served fairly quickly. Waiters are a bit young so be patient and friendly as they're doing their best. They also have soccer games so I'll def be back another day to try the lunch menu and catch a game. read more

12/29/2022 Creme de la Crepe 424 Pier Ave Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 We went there for brunch/lunch during a week day. It's in downtown with some street parking. We ordered a variety of savory buckwheat crepes and a waffle. I had the French Onion Soup and Warm Chicken salad. Service was good and our waiter was very helpful with information and suggestions. My chicken was on the salty side and my Onion soup could have had more onions. The other three selections looked good. Good place for breakfast or brunch and repeatable. read more

Crepe cafe with brunch. Came here in a group of 6 around 10am on a Saturday and luckily didn't have to wait, but later in the morning the place did fill up. They do serve alcohol. Credit cards accepted. Single occupant restrooms available in the back. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Dogs were allowed on the outside patio. Metered street parking. I got the Nordique crepe, which had raclette cheese inside as well as ham. There were a lot of cornichons on top as well as a small side green salad. I had a pumpkin spice latte (very fall) and some people in the group did get mimosas (they have different juice options including grapefruit and passion fruit ). Our waiter was friendly and the environment is casual. It's far enough away from the pier so it's not too touristy. read more

I tried to eat there for brunch with my family on Sunday. I asked for a table for 5 and the waiter looked at me like I was bothering her and had major attitude. No smile, no greeting, no eye contact. She said I'd have to wait. When I asked how long she shrugged her shoulders and said 20 minutes or more for sure. I looked around and it seemed like a crowd of people arrived at the same time because people were seated and no one was served. I had eaten there before and the food was decent but it's not worth it to be treated like I'm asking for free food or to be treated with disrespect. I'll never go back again. read more

Walked up to the restaurant, there was no clear place to ask for a table so I walked in and waited until I was noticed. Was told to wait outside until eventually I was told to sit at an empty table outside. The weather wasn't bad that day so being outside was quite nice, but tables feel a bit crammed. After waiting a few minutes, me and my partner ordered. I wanted the eggs Benedict, she wanted an omelette. We both opted to share a crepe. After waiting a while, we received our food. What we ordered came with a salad, some slices of bread with butter, strawberry jam, and a square of what seems like sliced potato. The food was not much to speak of, and in my opinion not worth the price. The crepe, however, was quite pleasant. Overall, this restaurant was somewhat of a disappointment given the high reviews here on yelp, I can't in good faith recommend anybody drop by unless they just want a crepe. read more
