Stopped for breakfast because it looked like a lot of locals were at the place. After eating there I can see why! The food, coffee and pastries were all very good. It's a tad pricey for breakfast but totally worth it. The food was extremely fresh. The eggs with tomato and pesto were yummy and you could have fruit or... More

I've been there on several ocassions and never been dissapointed with the food. It can be a little chilly if you have to sit outside.

had poached egg (perfect) with smoked salmon (just ok). Napoleon from bakery next door had fantastic pastry cream on a soggy crust. Prices in the ambitious bakery are pretty high but not sure it is worth it. good stop if you are in the neighborhood

First thing to order is a pot of jasmine flowering tea. Seriously. It unfolds like a beautiful art project in the container. Almost all the food is fantastic- expecially the omlets wtih California names. Sandwiches are large, big enough to share or take some for later. the pasteries will run you right off your diet track- that is for sure!... More

A casual, relaxed atmosphere is what you'd expect to find on Main Street. A late lunch before closing granted us premium window seats, nice! The chicken pesto crepe came with a green salad, but can also choose fresh fruit or fries. Don't see a savory crepe you like, then create your own for nominal charge. Enjoyed our crepes and took...

We drove from overnight in Long Beach to Seal Beach , exploring California's coastal towns. We stopped for breakfast in Seal Beach. A highlight meal of our trip was La Crema Cafe. We ordered at the counter then sat outside, the best place to sit. The place was humming with cheerful customers. My waffles came perfectly cooked crisp on the... More

Cream Cafe is located conveniently on Main Street and offers free coffee while you wait. They offer take out and take credit cards. Seating is limited but outdoor seating is very pleasant if you are lucky enough to get it. The baked goods are delicious as are crepes and French toast. We grabbed muffins and cookies to have for weekend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast here. Huge pancakes. Very good crepes. I liked the corned beef, but expected hash too. Instead, I got shredded corned beef, overcooked, and wedged potatoes underneath. It was OK, but not awesome. We loved the atmosphere & the staff & would go back to try something different. Loved the location.
