10/10 Delicious! $2.40 each or $14 for a pack of 6. These are my guilty pleasure. Everyone was so quick to check people out. The line was gone so quickly. read more

Their sandwich bread is soooo good!! My favorite by far! To keep it fresh i just pop it in the freezer and toast it when I need it and taste the same as if I just bought it. Recommend it! Obviously their strawberry croissants are heavenly! Im all about bakeries that do minimal ingredients. read more

Staffing here is always so sweet in the morning bright and early at 5 am!! Very efficient, quality of food is always fresh and perfect to the taste. They have variety of sweets and savory options. It is quiet, but the ambiance is suppose to be quick order and heading on out. Definitely my go to in the morning read more

One of my favorite places to get pastries for a party. No one makes strawberry croissants like Cream Pan does! The croissant is perfectly flakey, the strawberries are always fresh, and the custard/cream is just the right amount of sweetness. I also highly recommend their pork bao buns! So fluffy, like eating a cloud haha. They have a bunch of other baked selections that are great as well. Prepare to wait in line, especially during early mornings or holidays! read more

Cream Pan is an Orange County MUST. Cream Pan is a bakery with a ton of variety but they are famous for their strawberry croissants, which are incredible. I've taken everyone i know to cream pan and everyone raves about the strawberry croissants. read more

The bakery place is nice. The croissants are really good, but very expensive. I would recommend unless you can't find another bakery closer to you. read more

Cream Pan has the best Strawberry Croissant I have ever had and one of the best breakfast pastries ever. Their professionalism and not only the quality of the ingredients but also the quality of the presentation is greatly appreciated. Many bakeries focus on one and not the other and this one focuses on both. They might not have the fanciest ambiance, however it is functional and minimizes delays in getting orders to customers who are very busy. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an outside of the box breakfast item read more

Their azuki cream used to be a lot of red bean but now it has tiny bit of red bean but filled with lot of white cream. I understand everything went up in price but you can raised the price instead of cutting down the good part. read more

We finally tried Cream Pan for the first time while visiting Tustin, and it completely lived up to the hype. From the outside, the bakery is unassuming--you might almost walk right past it--but inside, it's a treasure trove of flavor. The strawberry and cream croissant was pure perfection: flaky layers wrapped around fresh strawberries and light, sweet cream. Every bite felt like a treat. I also tried the orange chocolate muffin, which looked a little dry at first glance, but one bite proved me wrong--it was rich, and bursting with flavor. Everything tasted so fresh and clearly made with care. This is definitely a place worth returning to again. read more

OMG the strawberry Crossaint is BOMB, fresh, flaky, airy, creamy goodness. Perfect balance of custard where it didn't ooze out when biting into. The pork katsu sandwich was also good. And easy to eat on the go. Lines weren't too bad when we came here and it went faster than my wife could decide on what to order. If only they had the is in Nor-Cal! read more

Came around 10 am on a Sunday and there was no line. They had a wide variety of pastries. I got the strawberry croissant, beef curry pan, and ham and cheese croissant. All were good and tasted fresh but were cold so I wish they kept them warm or reheated it for us. read more

This review is a ling time coming. The first time I ever had Cream Pan was their famous desserts at a work function. So light, creamy, and slightly sweet. What a wonderful treat. I the Cram Pan is a Japanese-owner business and so it makes it less sweet like the American-style pastries, etc. They make bread, sushi, lunch combos, teas, coffee, and of course a plethora of baked goods. Delicious get there early, and be advised you will be waiting in a line, but it traveled quickly. They have outdoor seating and plenty of parking. So stop in for a little sweetness and then walk our picturesque downtown Tustin. There's plenty of local small businesses to meet your needs. read more

Was in the area and had to grab their strawberry croissants. Love that it's not too sweet. Perfect dessert to end the day. read more

Cream Pan - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

Some employees here need an attitude check and maybe some actual customer service training! I come here pretty often for their Katsu Curry which is always great, however I am extremely disappointed with how the cashier treated me this visit. When it was my turn to go to the register, someone else's order was there and I politely told her that's not mine and that I am just ordering curry. This was followed by a sigh and an attitude that could be seen by anyone. Then she yelled "pork or chicken?!" in such a rude tone when she wasn't even at the register! When she returned to the register she asked "pork or chicken" again because obviously she can't hear me if she's not at the damn register. Still being calm, I told her one pork and one chicken -- she followed with an eye roll and a sigh. Ridiculous... It's understandable that Cream Pan is a fast-paced environment with frequent long lines, but if you're going to work at a bakery, you better have the mindset to serve your customers with a welcoming attitude. read more

This place has such yummy food and pastries not too sweet kinda vibe if that's what you like. I always order the katsu curry and enjoy it every time. The prices are very reasonable. The service has always been normal, I always visit in the afternoon. Wouldn't consider it a study spot, I would say it's more of a takeout or quickly eat in kinda vibe. read more

Balancing out my prior 5 star review with 1 star for average of 3 star. 5 star for food. 1 star for service. I mentioned in my previous review how you should know what you want cause the employees move the line quickly but there's a difference being efficient and assertive versus being rude just to be rude. I get approaching the customer to ask what they want versus waiting for them to approach you in order to move the process along but does it really need to be done in a such an incessantly rude manner? My husband and I joke about who's going to sacrifice and go in to suffer the wrath in order to secure the goods haha. read more

I just picked up a few overpriced items. The cashiers need to be taught basic customer service skills. Like saying hello and when paying a thank you. They act like they are doing you a favor by ringing you up. Won't be coming back. read more

Oh my goshhhh I love Cream Pan!! I don't live in Orange County, so when I am occasionally in the area, I love coming to Cream Pan for desserts, specifically the strawberry cream croissants. That being said, this bakery has other pastries that are also super yummy! Cream Pan is always busy though, but I guess that's just a testament to the quality of the baked goods there. Plus, everything is so reasonably priced! The strawberry cream croissants aren't too sweet, and I love, love the flavor of the cream filling. I wish there was more cream and strawberries, though! You can also order these in a big order tray (see my attached photos!), which is perfect for parties, meetings, or similar events! They keep just okay, though; I'd recommend eating it the day of, as it, of course, tastes best fresh. If you're debating coming to Cream Pan, just give it a try!! You won't regret it!! read more

This Japanese Bakery makes some incredible pastries, especially Pan, a cream filled bun that just fills you with joy, also strawberry tart that melts in your mouth. Great lunch sandwiches, lots of other delicious pastries, bread, bao (both pork and red bean) musabi etc. Long lines until about 9 a m, but always worth the wait. read more

I normally don't write reviews but here goes. I've been a loyal costumer for over 15 years and I don't think I will be returning. The reason for this review has to do with a cake that I had ordered a week ago that I picked up today for my son's birthday. I was asked what was the latest I would pick it up. I said 3pm, understanding that because of the new years they would close early I know that I chose a late time. Although picking it up earlier would be no problem and I asked and was assured of that. Yet, I arrived at 10:30am and I was told that my pickup time was 3pm, which the employee only assumed I had stated that but I explained twice and twice it but was not listening. Yet when I said i had placed the order in person she quickly stopped and said ok. I'll ask if they can make it now. I agreed and when it was finished she presented the cake but her hand accidentally slipped and rolled over the cake ruining it. She had quickly went back and asked me to wait another 30 mins for the next one to come out. I spoke to a different employee and said that my schedule was not ruined but asked if they could just spruce up the cake which would be a nice way of making up for the time lost and she agreed and went back to tell the staff to do so. Yet, when I was called to pickup my cake because I was waiting in my car as it began to rain I noticed nothing else was done to the cake and I was sent on my way. The staff assumed I made the mistake no one made up for my time lost because I had to sit in traffic longer because of the rain and I missed out on buying other things for my sons birthday because I thought I would have the time since it was early and I was running way behind. Family has to awkwardly stay on the restaurant as I was running late and I was a huge inconvenience. I had ordered cakes before but this time was different because of how this new staff handled the mishap. read more

This place is worth the hype! Cream pan is an OC staple, been around serving the community for a while. We tried the strawberry croissant, which was topped with powdered sugar, fresh strawberries, and included custard inside. Such a perfect pick me up dessert. Located in Old Town Tustin. read more

Such a staple in Tustin and so consistent they're sweet and savory foods are equally as delicious and especially the strawberry croissants they can have a line, but it usually moves pretty fast and as long as you know what you want before you get to the front, you should be pretty good. There's no seating inside, but the outside has a couple of tables even though most people just order to go. read more

Crispy croissants + creamy custard filling + strawberries + dusted powder sugar is a heavenly combination. These are some of the best desserts I've ever had, and will continue to go back. I don't even know anything else that they sell (which I'm sure is great), but they have me returning for their strawberry cream desserts. read more

My first time IN the store since it was so crowded the last time that the line was out the door. It's definitely worth the wait if you have the time. I got here on a slow day and I was so excited! The ASUKI CREAM was where it's at! I've never had one before and it was one of the best desserts I've had! The red bean was perfect and the cream balanced it out perfectly. Any Asian knows the best desserts "aren't too sweet" and this definitely hit the mark. I can't wait to come back here and try everything else they have to offer. That strawberry croissant everyone gets is calling my name! read more

I'm gonna keep it as real as possible. When this place first opened up, they had workers that went out of their way to help you with the smile on their face and greet you each and every morning when you walked in, whether it was morning or afternoon. Now, they have a new group of workers that really don't take pride in their job. Their food is off the chart. Their pastries are great.Their sandwiches and their steam dumplings are good? I asked the lady if she had iced coffee on Friday. She said no, but when I got into my car, I saw a lady walk out with an ice coffee when I confronted the lady. This morning, she had a rude attitude, and I asked her about it. Why is it that you guys serve coffee? That's cold.Her expression was.Why don't you warm up in the microwave? Maybe she needs to eat one of those sweet pastries to booster up and put a smaller face and have a better attitude..... read more

Cream Pan has become one of my favorite pastry spots. I've brought their strawberry croissants to a few parties and even given them as gifts. They are always a hit! The strawberry croissants can be bought individually ($2.40 each), but you can find them packaged in a container of 6 ($14) or tray of 25 ($56). This is a take-out establishment and the line starts when you walk through their doors. The lines can get really long on the weekends, so I try to come in between peak hours to beat the rush. Their stuff seems to sell out on busier days too. I'll definitely keep coming back to try more things on their menu. read more

Food: I come here for their ham & cheese croissant and their spam rolls and pork buns! All so good and baked and made fresh daily. Their coffees and lattes are ok.. nothing too great. Service: They try to get you in and out cuz it gets busy.. so know what you want because they will hurry you along. Ambiance: Seating is outside. It's really a grab and go kind place. read more

The hype is so real From the moment I got my hands on the infamous yellow and white striped box, I had high expectations for the strawberry croissants in specific, and it did not disappoint! The staff is super friendly, and the ambience is cute, I mean how can you not feel good when you walk into a shop filled with scents of fresh pastries?? Now with plenty of other reviews to read, I will focus specifically on the strawberry croissant. The croissant itself is airy, and light however, not too light that it's lacking substance. It also has a perfect chew to it (which for me is a must, can't have flake without chew!) The custard is sweet enough but not too sweet, and has a great consistency. Combined with the fresh strawberries, chefs kiss There is a reason people walk out with box fulls of these delectable little things!! If you're anywhere in the area, passing through, or just close enough, highly recommend a visit!! read more

I have been a customer more than 18 years this place. Recently I just felt the service had been changed. The person who is at the window is yelling at me saying "pork is same with An" . I ordered sweet redbean but in receipt it was pork . I told her one redbean bun but she ignored and wrapped 3 buns and charged me under name of 'pork bun'. I was so embarrassed so that I could not clarify what she told me. She was extremely rude. I have loved their bread and referred to my friends and co-workers but now I wouldn't. Her loud yelling and rude face is unforgettable. read more

Cream Pan. Best are the strawberry cream croissants. I love bringing them to work and taking it to dinner at a friend or family's house. Whether you are buying one croissant, a 12 pack tray or a party platter box, it's a quick and easy and a great presentation and delicious. There are a variety of sandwiches, sushi are a welcome delight. I look forward to trying their breads, and other rolls, and croissants. Definitely, a feast for the eyes and it's yummy for my tummy. read more

Cream Pan - Strawberry croissants (approximately 24) - Bakeries Near Me - Tustin, California

This place is so worth the hype! I'm moving away from the area soon and knew I had to try Cream Pan before I left, and I'm so glad I did. The strawberry croissants are as amazing as everyone says they are. I try to minimize dairy in my diet and I thought one croissant would be more than enough for me, but I easily could've eaten two or more. They're so light and flavourful, and it feels like they disappear in your mouth when you eat them (in a good way!). The steamed pork bun was so soft and delicious, and the pork katsu was the perfect level of spice and creaminess. There might be a long line, but service is efficient so things move quickly. The interior is wooden and homey, and there are some tables out back to sit and eat if you'd like. Overall, a strong yes to Cream Pan! Get double the amount of strawberry croissants that you're planning to. read more

My favorite bakery in the OC! I've come here a couple times and every time, the baked goods taste so fresh. The croissants are crisp and flaky and the fruit is ripe and juicy. The cream, custard, and fillings taste freshly made. My new favorite item is the azuki cream. It's a bread generously filled with whipped cream and red bean topped with powdered sugar. The brownie has walnuts mixed in and is light and not as decadent as I would've preferred. The employees are nice and the line moves quickly. This is a grab and go kind of bakery. read more

Cream Pan has become significantly stingier these days, and I'm disappointed in their lack of attention to their quality and assembly of pastries. Nearly every time I purchase their Cream Pan bread, almost half of the bread contains no cream. Today, I reached past half the pastry and still no cream. The name is misleading, because why call it Cream Pan with no cream? read more

Sometimes there's a wait, but the line moves at a decent speed...until I get to the counter, haha. The staff keeps me moving along, but seriously there's so many great and delicious options. My favorite are the strawberry croissant and I grab an egg salad sandwich for lunch, before devouring the croissant. One thing to note is the location looks a little industrial, but don't let that deter you. read more

I came here at around 4pm. A lot of the items were sold out but they still had a lot of strawberry croissants which is known to be very popular. Strawberry Croissant - the pastry was very soft and flaky when you bite into it. The cream/custard filling was surprisingly not too sweet which is a plus for me. Strawberry Banana Croissant- my favorite item that I would go back for. I love how the fruits balance the pastry. Also there is a thin layer of chocolate filling which satisfied my sweet tooth. If you want to try the other items I recommend coming in earlier. All the shelves were empty when I went in the afternoon. read more

STRAWBERRY CROISSANTS. That should be the review. Like thats all you need to know. The strawberry croissants were crisp and flaky on the outside, and filled with strawberries and custard. It sounds unhealthy but for some reason, you don't feel guilty eating them. They're very light. Line is long if you go mid morning but it goes fast. I also like getting Spam Masubis from here. Easy parking. Will always come back when I'm in town. read more
