    I've had Crustees a few times now thanks to their booth at the Beverly Hills Farmers Market. It's so good, I keep coming back for more of their pot pies. The flagship chicken pot pie is probably my favorite of their offerings! It's the perfect combination of chicken, veggies and their homemade chicken cream sauce and the crust. You'll understand why they are called Crustees...it's just unreal and is so well balanced with all the interior components. Second favorite is the curry chicken, also loved the shephard's pie. I really think you can't go wrong with any of their savory options. Get their bigger sized pie as then it's the perfect portion for 2 people to share for a meal. And for $10-13 a pop? Crustees Eatery is fire~!!!

    I finally decided to try one of these. Very delicious. I was a bit skeptical about the price for the size of the pot pie( but overall I am satisfied

    I recently tried this place for the first time before leaving for a flight and the chicken pot pie knocked me into a beautiful food coma. I had the biggest craving for such a long time and I'm so grateful Crustees exists! I enjoyed a cup of their turkey chili and their chicken chili! I am pleased at the options for chili! Both were amazing, the turkey one seemed a little spiced but it was AMAZING. The chicken chili was great but my preference is the turkey one for now. The chicken pot pie was perfect, the crust made it a full circle moment and it is a perfect serving for just one. I inhaled it before I could get a decent photo of its presentation, vegetables were cooked to perfection and the actual inside of the pie was so warm and seemed like it was hugging my stomach from the inside. I also enjoyed their corn bread which was a little dry but it was still plenty flavorful. I did go back recently for a birthday desert for myself, I'm not a cake person but I LOVE pumpkin pie and I was so excited to go back for a mini one as my birthday desert! It was delicious! Cherry on top for sure. The two times I've visited the staff has been very welcoming and also helped me set up a rewards account that I absolutely will be adding points to. There's a nice sit down section outside but I prefer dining inside if anything, seemed very clean and organized but not too much decor which is fine because the food makes up for it. The only thing I would add as a negative is they do not accept cash payments. I understand cashless restaurants are everywhere now but I really would've appreciated the cash payment option.

    $8 for 4 bites, total waste.

    Banana Pudding :( It's described as "classic" banana pudding, but there's absolutely nothing classic about it. First taste, immediately tasted that horrible boxed flavor, way too sweet and located ZERO bananas. I haven't tried anything else, first time and I'm not impressed. For a small intimate spot, why can't the time be made to make this so called "classic" truly homemade, especially for the price? That dessert tasted assembly line manufactured without a care in the world.

    From the outside welcome to Crustees

    Crustees is great I had a craving for a pot pie ona cold rainy day. Diane( who serve in the military and thank you for your service) talked me out of my PJ's to come down and get a Chicken Pot Pie. I went down there and didn't get one I got a Curry Chicken Pot Pie and Key Lime pie. As a self proclaimed Key lime connoisseur it was great. The pies have very fresh ingredients seasoned perfectly also the crust is amazing I see how they get the name Crustees. It was so good I came back today to get some chili and ended up getting the chili cheese pot pie and another key lime pie. This is my new comfort food spot.

    ok so hear me out.... this place has the best thanksgiving pot pie, peach cobbler, jalapeño cornbread, and banana pudding... hands down... ALL in one centralized place. the older black lady who works here is the sweetest human being i've met at the front and she offered samples of the gumbo cause i was apprehensive in ordering it i wanted to gate keep this place, but i keep taking my friends here or picking up pies whenever im on slauson. truly a GEM - parking isn't too bad on the side street. ambience is neat but tiny. it's more a grab & go than sit down!

    I've visited Café Dulce in Little Tokyo before, and I usually enjoy stopping in, especially when…read moreI'm in the area with my two kids. The drinks and pastries have always made it an easy place for us to grab a treat, so I'm not writing this based on one random first impression. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing enough that I felt I needed to say something. When we came in, the trash cans were overflowing, and the floor looked like it had not been cleaned in quite some time. I understand that cafés can get very busy, especially in Little Tokyo, and I never expect a place to look perfect every second of the day. However, the dining area felt noticeably neglected. With two children, cleanliness is something I pay closer attention to, and it was uncomfortable trying to find a clean area for us to stand and sit. The overall atmosphere also felt disorganized. We waited at the register for help, but it took a while before anyone acknowledged us. A simple "I'll be right with you" would have made a big difference. I have had better experiences here in the past, which is why this visit stood out so much. I'm hoping this was simply a bad day, because Café Dulce has always been a place I was happy to visit with my family. I'm sharing this because I would genuinely like to see the cleanliness and customer service return to the standard I remember. Private Feedback for Management I did not feel comfortable putting the full details of this experience in a public review, but I believe management needs to be aware of what happened. While I was standing at the register waiting to order, the male employee working there was engaged in a conversation with another person and appeared to be openly gloating about drinking while on the job. Based on what I heard and observed, he also appeared to be impaired or intoxicated. He continued the conversation while ignoring me, even though I was standing directly in front of the register waiting to place an order. The tone of the conversation was not subtle or professional. It created a much darker and more uncomfortable atmosphere than what I would ever expect from a family-friendly café. I was there with my two children, and hearing someone behind the register casually talking about drinking while working was deeply concerning. Someone who appears intoxicated while operating a register and handling customers' money creates a terrible narrative for the business. It raises concerns about judgment, accuracy with transactions, food-service safety, and the overall professionalism of the workplace. Even if the employee was exaggerating or joking, it was still completely inappropriate to have that conversation openly in front of customers. What bothered me most was not only the conversation, but the fact that I was being ignored while it continued. I was waiting to spend money at the business, yet the employee seemed more interested in talking about drinking than acknowledging a customer. As a mother standing there with two children, the situation felt uncomfortable, disrespectful, and honestly a little disturbing. This is not my first time visiting Café Dulce, and I have never felt compelled to complain before. I understand that employees are human and that businesses have difficult days. However, the combination of overflowing trash cans, a dirty floor, being ignored at the register, and an employee appearing impaired while discussing drinking on the job crossed a line for me. I am sharing this privately because I believe management should have the opportunity to address it directly. I hope the situation is taken seriously, not only for the reputation of the café, but for the safety and comfort of the customers and employees.

Here's a helpful tip: The bank next door allows 10 minutes of parking if you use their ATM and keep your receipt. There is security in the lot, so be sure to have your receipt as proof of the time. It's more than enough time to run next door and grab your treats. I ordered a slice of the lemon loaf, a gluten-free cookie, and the classic chocolate chip cookie. The lemon loaf slice is huge, I'd say it's the equivalent of two slices, so it's definitely big enough to share. As for the cookies, Levain is known for making them thick and rich. A small piece goes a long way, making them perfect for savoring over a couple of days (if you have that much self-control!). The moment you walk inside, you're greeted by the incredible aroma of freshly baked pastries, and the service was warm and welcoming. I truly think everyone should experience a Levain cookie or pastry at least once. It's worth the visit!

But let me tell you... the oatmeal cookie is on another level. It's rich, buttery, and packed with so much aroma. The chocolate chip cookie was rich and crispy. Pro tip: microwave it for at least 30 seconds. It completely transforms the cookie--warm, melty, and almost like it just came fresh out of the oven. The oats were warm and satisfying. Definitely one of the best cookies I've had in LA. Worth the hype!
