Cute cafe with tasty food! I came during brunch hours and had the avocado toast with a side of crispy bacon and sausage. I also had an iced spanish latte with added cinnamon and it was made to perfection! You must order the crème brûlée! It was pretty busy on a Saturday so I recommend making a reservation and parking can be tricky. read more

The Crema Cafe - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Main Street Seal Beach is such a charming little area and The Crema Cafe is the best breakfast/brunch place on the street! It's definitely a local favorite. So beware that it can get very crowded, especially during prime time weekend hours. The earlier you go, the better! This place has seating inside and even more seating outside. There's so many options for breakfast, lunch, and baked goods. I use to come frequently because I lived walking distance from here. So I've tried so many different things on the menu and There hasn't been anything I didn't like! My go to is the fitness burrito and matcha latte. I also love their chocolate croissant and Tuna Melt. They even offer doggy treats :) read more

100% recommend! The bakery items are excellent. Best banana cream pie and , crème brûlée. Cheesecake is excellent. These are BIG single servings. Breakfast omelet and fruit parfait are excellent! The homemade granola is so good! Omelette came with fruit and excellent wheat toast. Was not a fan of the mini chicken pot pie, but that's okay, everything else makes up for it. . The service is friendly and helpful. Small and a little noisy. On your way out, WATCH YOUR STEP. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

We loved this cafe. We had never explore old town Seal Beach before, what a little gem by the pier. Crema Cafe definitely seemed like a local favorite. We went on a Monday around 10:30am and we had to wait about 10 mins. They had a texting system so we could walk around a bit while we waited. We got seated promptly before 10 mins as promised and we had a very nice and attentive server throughout our brunch. Ambiance is cute traditional American cafe with part bakery to order to-go, inside and outside seating. They had a nice selection on their menu that had something for everyone. My husband had the smoked salmon omelet and I had a scramble (I can't remember the name), but had eggs, crunchy bacon and tomatoes with avocado on top. Both were delicious and came with choice of potatoes or fruit and choice of their house breads. All was really good and friendly. We will be back! read more

Today we had a great breakfast. We got the sweet crepes and the savory crepes with fries. The breakfast crepe was like a nice chorizo scramble topped with a generous mound of sour cream and avocado. The fries were hot and fresh and crispy. I also asked for a side of their amazing garlic aioli. I added it to everything. The bananas foster crepe was legit with warm sauteed bananas inside. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance was warm. read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen and some of her favorite people met here for an early morning breakfast and catch-up. We all enjoyed our orders- chilaquiles, eggs Benedict, and Nutella French toast. Delicious! I left with a fresh loaf of country bread, too! Get there early if you want a place to sit.

The Crema Cafe - Oh, my! - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Cream cafe is adorable. It's off Main street in Seal beach and although it was a busy weekend day, I got lucky and found a parking spot right out front. Talk about Lucky! I was with a meet up group of about 12 people and since we made reservations, we had a nice little corner at back of the patio. The servers was very patient and answered all the questions and sent the food order in waves so the food came out rather quickly. The regular coffee, it was a bit confusing but if you order a coffee for dine in, you do get free refills. But, the way the menu is worded. There was some confusion from the group. Drink: Matcha Latte with almond milk, this is my new thing right now! I absolutely loved it. It was rich and creamy. Definitely worth a try as an alternative to coffee. Food: I happened to sit next to a person who was eyeing 2 different Benedict and also a waffle so we ended up sharing the 3 items! The Persian Benedict has a fried egg and Brie! Omg, what a game changer. I'm also on a brie kick, too. It comes in wave. The crossiant is a nice touch and it was soft ans flakey. The carnitas Benedict was also very good, it had a great flavor. There was a lot of potatoes as well. I had to take some home. It had decent flavor. The Belgium waffle was worth the share. The whipped cream was perfect, the fruit was fresh and complementary to the syrup. The syrup was legit. Very rich and tasty. I highly recommend this place for brunch if you're in Seal Beach. read more

This place is fantastic. The bakery and bread are great and so all the sandwiches made with that break are awesome. I had the Croque monsieur with a fried egg. I definitely recommend it. My friend had the chicken and artichoke crepe and said it was definitely 5-star material. She particularly liked the flavors of the sun-dried tomatoes with grilled onions with the artichoke. I also got a bunch of pastries to take home. read more

Returned to Crema Cafe after a memorable first visit! Today our breakfast options didn't hit the mark like the lunch options did. Our salmon bagel was burnt :( it was busy as usual, but we felt a bit rushed to order with our server when looking at the menu. Use the waitlist outside to put your name on the Yelp virtual waiting list! Still a cute spot, nice bakery and bread selection. read more

Hands down the best food. Everything on the menu is excellent . I had the chicken pesto crap. So fresh and delicious. I practically licked my plate clean. The side salad was just right. All the baked goods in the bakery are exquisite as well. Fresh ingredients. My favorite spot I always come back read more

Arrived a bit close to closing time so our order was in a to go box. So experience here was not full. We ordered a sandwich each. I ordered croquet monsieur Ham, cheese, bechamel. It was a different but nicely complimented combo. The bechamel sauce gave it a heavy filling the cheese and ham were so good together. The sourdough was nicely toasted. I ordered garlic fries for an extra fee. Next was grilled cheese with grilled garlic now that was a nice classic flavor and definitely not stingy with the onions. That order was potatoes. They were ok. We also ordered the teas . I ordered strawberry tea it was so refreshing and nice flavor. The other was mango green also good but strawberry hibiscus was SOOO much better. I also ordered coffe panni cotta or something like that it was this little pot of chocolate heaven. It had a rich butterscotch taste at first then I had a second spoon it had the coffee liquid on the bottom. This tho is nice thick pudding brulee like chocolate coffee goodness! Let me say I will be back for it. They also had a honey one. I ordered a macaroons to go 1 small normal then another large with fresh raspberries in it. It was nice creamy yet tart raspberry with the macaroon cookie together nicely done. Definitely be back hopefully during regular hours bc I really could have had another refill on my tea. The server disappeared but not intentionally bc I'm sure her shift was over by the time we got our food. She nicely greeted us. read more

I Met 3 friends here for an early (11:30) lunch on Halloween. The wait was surprisingly short..about 10 minutes. Yay! It was a full house...we were in the center..pretty tight next to the other customers. Nothing to get excited about. Unfortunately service was slow as they never came back to clear our plates and we had to finally request the bill. I split the for omelet with a side of fruit and sourdough bread. The fruit was a variety of Mellons which were tasteless. The omelet was really tasty. read more

The Crema Cafe - Fit omelet with sourdough and fruit - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

If you're walking in downtown Seal Beach, walk - no, RUN! - to the Crema Cafe. Absolutely spectacular. It does get pretty crowded on a weekend, but I only popped in to grab some totable eats while we were walking down to the pier. So many choices. I chose two different muffins: the apple cinnamon and the banana nut. Both were absolutely delicious. While there, I eyed many different kinds of bread. If I lived locally, I would definitely be here often. I did spot some freshly made coconut macaroons, and stopped in a bit later to pick up a package of them to bring back to my husband (a coconut macaroon connoisseur). He said they were great: moist, loaded with coconut and sure enough, devoured in short order. A great find! read more

Crema... its been a minute since I cane here to visit you. Was in town visiting for 48hrs and had to do some catch up with my girlfriends. Made resos since Sunday's are busy.. thank you for making that an option now! Got promptly seated. Friendly staff. I LOVE that they allow dogs on the patio.. I missed mine! Delish almond milk latte complete with a cute barista heart. 10/10 Had the fresh berries Belgium Waffle. 9/10. Light fluffy, fresh cali berries. The star was a warmed up pastry from the glass case.. Kouign Amann Its like if a French croissant had a baby with a bit of a butter cake. It was sooooo goood. 11/10 Get that, split it with a friend. Then go back and order one yourself and dont share If you haven't har Crema Cafe on your bingo card.. do yourself a favor and come here.. street parking is free for 2hrs. Then go take a nice walk down on the Seal Beach board walk and be in the moment with mother nature then hit up the local Los Alamitos farmers market Sundays... just a few min drive along the water north near 2nd and PCH across fm whole foods. Some of the best seasonal veggies, fruit, mushrooms, tamales, flowers socal has to offer. You will meet tue farmers who picked them and you won't believe how they taste! Love me some Seal Beach! Way more low key than HB. read more

The Crema Cafe - Pesto sandwich and spiced chai tea latte - Bakeries Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Located on Main Street in seal beach, this brunch spot is such a gem! It's best to make reservations then check in with the host. Staff is friendly and helpful here. We were seated in the outdoor patio area where it was shaded with umbrellas and trees. I had the best smoked salmon bagel here! I normally don't order that, but felt I would try something different that day and I'm so glad I did! I layered onions, tomatoes, and capers on top of the smoked salmon and I had it on the everything bagel. I love salt so if you are limiting or avoiding salt, don't get this combo. Lol. The fried egg sandwich was delicious according to my daughter. And the smoked salmon Benedict was another winner. The strawberry Nutella crepes were good too but best as a dessert. There were a few birthdays being celebrated that afternoon. It was so cute seeing the older ladies being so happy being celebrated. There's a bakery inside the cafe that offers fresh bread, and plenty of pastries and cookies. I'll be coming back here for sure! read more

What happened to Crema Cafe? I've noticed the quality of the food has gone down and so has the size of their sandwiches! My husband got a tuna sandwich with such a small amount of tuna in it, bread was meager too. I had a BLT that had I small single layer of lettuce, tomato and hardly any bacon. The fruit was not sweet at all and the prices are ridiculous. Go to The Abbey quality is better and less money. Their avocado toast was originally about $8.99 now it almost double price with less on it. If you keep raising prices you need to give us at least what you used to. Omelette is smaller too. Food is bland. read more

I love the crepes here. It can get busy so I like to go on off hours. My go-to is the chicken crepe. The kids love the bananas foster crepe. Lattes are delicious. Staff is amazing and also very kind. One time my battery died along with my ability to pay the bill but one of the employees let me borrow their charger and I was able to pay without having to wash dishes lol read more

Great place for a brunch/lunch! It seems to be a favorite around here and always busy. Parking is scarce usually packed along the street but there is a paid parking lot not too far down the street for $1 per hour. While we waited to be seated we checked out the bakery side and everything looked so good with self serve coffee available. The menu had so much to choose from breakfast side and lunch side. I decided to order a breakfast burrito with a coffee and my son chose a chocolate crepe with a hot chocolate. My favorite part of our breakfast was the creamer they served, I asked for flavored hazelnut and instead of serving the individuals (usually coffee mate or international delight) this was a thicker creamier consistency and so much more flavor. I love coffee and this made it so much better. The breakfast burrito was really good I know many reviews are mixed on the burrito but it's also a favorite on the menu... when it came It was hot, a good size portion and served with a side of fresh pico. My son said his crepe was delicious. Will be happy to make another trip soon. read more

Good breakfast nice place to eat good service Great location nice to have patio seating feels like l'm eating at a outside cafe

First the positives: great setting and great service! Reservations can be made online and I highly recommend this; we were able to be seated even earlier than our reservation (probably because we were a small party of 2) despite lots of people waiting outside for tables. The food, at least what I ordered, was extremely mediocre. I ordered a chicken mushroom crepe and added spinach. A crepe with cheese, chicken and mushrooms did arrive, as did the spinach tucked inside, but where was the cheese? Where was the creamy garlic sauce? The crepe served to me was bland and with little puddles of oil, not creamy garlic sauce, on top. My friend said her breakfast burrito was good, so I guess 1 out of 2 ain't bad. But man, my meal was quite disappointing. read more

Have been numerous times over the years. Always great food, great service, and the food comes out quick and consistent EVERY TIME. Love the outdoor patio because it's a nice contrast of chill when you're having your morning coffee. A breakfast location favorite worth driving out to every time. Reservations highly recommended, especially if you're getting there after 8:30a read more

We literally went back again this week because the food was so good! We also wanted to try some pastries for our picnic and we got the iced matcha again too! This time we tried the coconut scone and raspberry & cheese danish, which were both fantastic! We also had our faves with the breakfast burrito and roasted veggie sandwich (+ pesto aioli). This time it was a to-go order, and the service was still very fast and the ambiance was lovely as always :) Pro tip: they don't take phone orders, so you have to order through their website and order online for to-go orders. Also, definitely try the coconut scone and/or raspberry danish if you get a chance! read more

Cute little cafe; The perfect place for lunch on a rainy day. :) There was a bit of a wait, but we got seated on a small table in a cozy corner of the restaurant. I ordered a Caprese Omelette and my friend got a Peppermint Coffee and Avocado Toast.

I would come back here for the good food and chill, laid-back vibes. read more

Crema Cafe is located on Seal Beach's Main Street. There are tons of restaurants and little shops, but this is a spot you'll want to visit. I've been twice now and both times my wait wasn't too long, and one of those visits was on Mother's Day. They have an iPad where you sign yourself in and indicate your party size. There's also a spot for you to note if you prefer inside, outside, or first available. The inside can feel crammed because some of the tables along the window feel a little too close together, but it's not terrible. Outside is nice and spacious, plus the umbrellas provide shade for those sunny days. Their London Fogs are excellent! The food is also pretty darn good. I've tried the fried egg sandwich, waffle, and buttermilk pancake. You need to order the friend egg sandwich on the brioche bread. We subbed it for sourdough bread on our second visit and agreed that the brioche was better. After you eat, you can walk your food off on Main Street. It's a beautiful walk and has great views at the end of the street with benches facing the beach. read more

Great food options, really great tasting. Loved the atmosphere and service was wonderful.

Food was bland, tasted like Sysco. Lovely atmosphere and nice servers, but the food just wasn't there. Not the worst but not worth the price. Had the hot sandwiches, specifically the artichoke chicken and salmon sandwich. Both didn't have the best seasoning, and fries under salted. The French toast had a good texture, mild sweetness. Fine, just overpriced. read more

Perfect lunch spot after a walk on the pier. Mom and I both got the chicken artichoke sandwiches. Really good! I got garlic fries on the side and they were also delicious. My favorite is that I got an Arnold Palmer and they gave me a cup of it to go when we were heading out- so nice! Lots of great breakfast options too! Wait can be long so prepare for that read more

Fourth time I've dined here but first review. My suggestions are to skip the omelette and anything with pesto. Twice I've ordered simmering with pesto and found it to be too oily. The omelettes are overcooked. The eggs Benedict is the way to go. They make those well. The lattes are great and the baked good are too. The servers are welcoming. This place tends to get really popular and seating can be limited at busy times. I always grab a few canales on my way out! An absolute favorite. Their jalapeño cheese bagels are great too! read more

I had a reservation here on a Sunday morning and I'm really glad I did because it was PACKED! Parking wasn't too hard to find because there were plenty of lots nearby. We were seated almost immediately after we checked in with the hostess and the food and our coffees came out quickly, too! We sat outside and it was perfect since it was such a beautiful day out, and nice and cool since it's right by the beach. I got the build your own omelette with spinach, cheese, mushrooms, and bacon. It was delicious but I think they forgot my garlic sauce which was a bummer because I was super excited to try it. It comes with complimentary bread and I love bread! They had many different options to choose from, but I would recommend their multi-grain bread. Dare I say that I honestly loved it even more than the omelette! The fruit was a great palette cleanser after and they were all sweet. I chose it over potatoes because I knew I'd get too full, so I liked that they gave us options. I also got their cafe mocha. It was so huge and I was shocked when they brought out our cups. It was perfectly warm and sweet! My friend also got the smoked salmon benedict and really loved it as well! I'd definitely love to come back to try more of their extensive menu. There were so many options to choose from and most were your traditional breakfast items, but everything sounded so good! read more

I've been going to the Créma Café off and on for the past 8 years now. It is your local privately owned bakery and café, located on quaint Main Street. A charming tree lined strip with unique shops, eateries, and entertainment. Main street also leads to the famous Seal Beach Pier, a prominent landmark. There is lots of street parking (marked 2 hour limit). Although it isn't always enforced, I would still respect it. The Café interior is somewhat small, with a cozy and charming beach cottage vibe. They have large floor to ceiling windows that open to let in the ocean breeze, which is really pleasant especially on a beautiful spring or summer day. The interior space is divided into 2 sections using the self serve coffee station. The 2 sections are the sit down restaurant and the other section is the bakery where you can also come in through a side door to place your "to go" orders. Indoor seating is somewhat limited. They have a lot more outdoor seating with umbrellas, in an alley like setting, lined with small clothing shops. Main street is a popular destination. So, Weekends tend to be very busy, especially around brunch time. So if you plan on visiting on the weekend, arrive early or you could end up waiting up to an hour for a table. On busy days, they have a digital tablet out front by the check-in kiosk. Make sure to enter your party on the yelp waiting list using that tablet. You'll be notified when your table is ready. You can also reserve a table on the yelp app or through google which is also linked to the Yelp app. The menu is extensive and varied. They offer a variety of omelettes, hot & cold sandwiches, burgers, salads savory and sweet crêpes, waffles, french toasts and so forth... they also have a kids menu and a coffee, tea menu as well as a variety of baked goods and pastries. Mostly everything on the menu is good and prices are average. For some reason, I've personally never been a fan of their coffee. But that is subjective. The service is always friendly. I recommend trying the Créma Café. read more
