I recently visited Cream Pan and tried a variety of their offerings, including strawberry, apple, almond, and plain croissants, as well as some of their breads. Despite the impressive reviews, nothing really stood out to me.

I get the need to regulate parking, but the energy here clashes with any sense of hospitality. The vibe felt rushed and tense…likely due to high-strung management. No matter how good the food is, if people don’t feel welcome, it undercuts the whole experience. A warmer, more inviting atmosphere would go a long way and likely boost your bottom line.

I ordered their mocha for the first time and I was so so sad that I didn't try it sooner. Heaven in a cup! I used to say that about the flat white from Offset Coffee until this year. So happy to have found my new coffee go to! Um, their Azuki Cream was deelish too! Sadly they were sold out of their ham & cheese croissants. 😕
I recommend ordering ahead to avoid the item you want being sold out. Their Japanese strawberry shortcake is absolutely delicious and not too sweet.

I give Cream Pan 2.5/5 stars.
Reddit brought me here. Unfortunately, I left disappointed.
I fist tried the strawberry croissant, the most popular item. Yeah, I don't understand the hype. While the cream filling was good, the croissant was on the small side; with only 2 thin slices of strawberry, there's not much strawberry about this.
The next item I tried was the curry pan. The flavor was good, but it was cold. Do they have an option to warm up upon request?
The star of the show was the crispy cheese bread. This, crispy, and delicious.
I skipped going to Corridor Flow for some good coffee to grab coffee here. Huge mistake.
I purchased a few more items, but I'm in no rush to eat them.
There are plenty of tables, and I feel that the space is more seating than food options. It didn't feel like a cozy, inviting atmosphere usually experienced in bakeries.
Parking lot is small, and a nightmare. Best to find street parking.
Will I come back? No. There are better bakery options in the South Bay. And for the price, Cream Pan is an overrated expensive experience.

Cream Pan in Lomita is a total win for anyone obsessed with their famous strawberry cream croissants! We used to trek all the way to Tustin for these flaky, creamy delights, but finding this spot near our daughter’s place was a game-changer. The Lomita location is bigger, brighter, and the staff are super friendly. They’ve got a wider variety than Tustin, with not just their killer croissants but also sushi, breads, and cakes. We grabbed a dozen strawberry cream croissants (still as heavenly as ever) and some spam sushi, which was a fun surprise. Big parking lot, no long wait—easy in, easy out. If you’re in Lomita and craving something sweet or savory, Cream Pan’s got you covered!
What a fantastic bakery/cafe. My wife picks up the strawberry croissants for my son often. Today after Sunday mass, I stopped in to get some bakery items for Sunday breakfast. A great selection of delicious Japanese baked goods. You can taste the care and attention to detail that goes into their products. Definitely returning to try them all.
