Crema's Take

“Dessert Cafe in Berkeley is a pastry-forward destination that takes their craft seriously, with precisely balanced signature creations like their celebrated croffles (croissant waffles) in inventive flavors like crème brûlée and tiramisu that avoid the sugar-heavy pitfalls of typical commercial bakeries.

If you're hunting for exceptional pastry craftsmanship and playful flavor combinations in a relaxed, DIY-friendly setting, this is worth the trip.”
