Crema's Take

This beloved Del Mar bakery is a hidden gem that shines brightest for its exceptional pastries—think croissants that earn genuine praise and fresh-baked focaccia and baguettes made with quality flour right before your eyes. The open kitchen is the heart of the experience, offering a front-row seat to skilled bakers at work in a spotlessly clean environment, creating an atmosphere that feels both professional and welcoming. Fair warning: while the baked goods are reliably stellar, their coffee drinks can be hit-or-miss, so come primarily for the pastries and the joy of watching craft baking in action.

just had the best croissant of my life here 🤍🥐 No idea why this place only has 4 stars — easily one of the best bakeries.

This was probably the worst iced vanilla latte I have ever had. I paid $6.5 for a medium and aside from the fact that most of it is ice, the drink tastes like the machine that it was made in was dirty. You can taste the coffee, but after you sip you just get a hint of some dusty/musky/and even moldy taste. And also, this medium is a small at every other coffee place. If this is a medium, I wouldn’t want to know what the small is 😂. Aside ft the taste, the service wasn’t good either. As soon as I walk in the guy at the register smirks, looks at his coworker, and said “do you want to take care of this guy over here” in a super condescending voice. Would never try anything from this place ever again.

I love an Open Kitchen! Watching the Bakers work, using quality flour, and a clean environment, all the key indicators of a wonderful Bakery! I got the whole wheat focaccia and a baguette, Amy picked up a morning bun and an almond croissant, everyone loved the croissant, I heard remarks such as perfectly balanced, sweet but not too sweet and “did you finish it?” The baguette was sweet and begging to be made into a sandwich. I’m big into focaccia these days and I appreciate a whole wheat half pan, crisp on the edges, large pockets of air and a gentle finish of olive oil. This is a great snack and ready for any dipping or side action. The coffees were excellent! I had an oat milk latte with an extra shot. I’ll be back!

A hidden Gem in the middle of Del Mar, it came to us as a surprise as we were walking in Del Mar. The staff is supe friendly, super helpful and very kind. There are high chairs for children to sitdown outside and inside the Bakery. We got the Indian Chai, I personally love Chia yet I have never heard of the Indian Chai so we tried it and LOVE it! They have so much of to describe, all kinds of Croissants, let's start with the Chocolate tarts, Lemon Almond Tartlet, Lemon Meringe tarts, Chocolate Eclairs, cinamon rolls and other different Croissants. We settled for the Quiches Loraine and veggie. The flakiness of the dough, the buttery flavor and the bacon inside the Quiche Loraine had a hugge explosion of flavor in my mouth, they were so perfect, the veggies were frsh and just right. They have so muhc to offer and there is such alittle time, I would recommend you to check them out. You will not be dissapointed. My wife and I are already planning to going back very soon. They are very friendly and super awesome!

I really like this coffee shop. It's in a good location in Del Mar and they serve coffee and pastries. The pastries are freshly made and there's a huge window where you can watch them. I thought the Bombay coffee made with cardamom was really good. The place is nice with indoor and outdoor seating, but could use a touch up to make it a little more inviting. The staff is nice too, although I wish they were a little more conversational. Not a big deal, just a personal preference. Overall I enjoyed my visit and recommend.
