Crema's Take
“The French-imported ingredients here actually taste noticeably better than typical American café fare, which shines brightest in their buttery croissants and signature pistachio lattes that keep regulars coming back. It's a charming, Instagram-worthy spot that doubles as a legitimate slow-sit destination where you can linger over genuine French pastries without the Paris price tag, though Del Mar location costs do creep in. Fair warning: consistency varies slightly depending on what you order, but when they nail it, these pastries rival what you'd find across the Atlantic.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Amazing variety of croissants! We tried the pistachio-filled and caramel-filled ones—no disappointment at all. Although the croissants were a bit expensive, ofcourse you are paying for the location. The place is located on Level 3, and you get to enjoy a beautiful view of the…
This place is soooo adorable. Decor is so cute. Pastries and croissant items were just perfect—smooth, crispy, flavorful, and the right price for the area. They had so much variety that it was hard to narrow down to the items we wanted to try. I’d love to come here again to…
