delish vegan Monkey Bread and Croissants....I first learned of the monkey bread, and found this bakery - tucked away in Sky Park Circle and was amazed how easy it was to order on line two days in advance and pick the delectable pastries! Unfortunately they were gobbled up far to quickly... read more

This updated review will mainly focus on their croissant loaf. I have been searching for the PERFECT croissant loaf, which is a cross between a croissant and yeast bread (I think). The texture is soft like bread, but has buttery flakey layers when toasted. This mix creates a unique crispy exterior texture that tastes and smells like a buttery croissant, but retains a fluffy interior like you would find in bread. Oh boy, Crema Artisan did not disappoint! I knew that their croissants were phenomenal when I had their pastries so I had really high hopes for this croissant loaf. I am absolutely hooked and happy to know that my search for croissant loaf is over! Seriously, if you have never tried a croissant loaf before, order or buy it from Crema Artisan - it's so good! You can follow them on Instagram and Facebook to see if they have it in stock or you can request it for a special order! I enjoy eating my croissant loaf slice plain or with a fruit jam. Thank you for making the croissant loaf! I am a huge fan! read more

If I was gonna go down stuffing my face on Thanksgiving, I thought I might as well go down fighting! Ended our Thanksgiving feast with a good pumpkin pie (a la mode!) from Crema and it was worth it! Not overly spiced, just the right amount of sweetness and a yummy flaky crust. I am definitely adding Crema to my regular rotation when I'm down in SoCal. It's awesome that they opened their warehouse location in Irvine for pick up. We pre-ordered and picked up with ease. Alas, my weakness is good pastries so when I picked up the pie, I walked out with waaay more than pie. I was a goner the second I saw the kouign-amann and almond croissants. Both were so good! I might even go as far as saying, this might be one of the best kouign-amann I have had. Flaky, not heavy on the paste, not so greasy that it feels like I ate a stick of butter. Worth the weeks of working out I'm going to have to do for eating all this. read more

We were able to order from here on one of the few occasions they open up their pies to retail sales - Thanksgiving! We got an apple crumble pie, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. The prices weren't extraordinary, like many pie shops can get when they've got good stuff to offer, so I was grateful that they were offering something delicious at reasonable prices. You could taste the goodness and the baking know-how in every bite. The apple crumble pie was good - not the best apple pie I've had, but a solid choice. The apples still retained a slight texture in the pie. The pecan pie was my favorite. It was a new and improved pecan pie. It was with this pie that we realized that my husband's reason for not liking pecan pie in general was because there's too many pecans scattered on top of the traditional pecan pie! This one had a crust with a few whole pecans on it, rather than being covered with them. It was deliciously sweet, and the bottom and top pie crust were fresh and balanced out the sugary insides. Definitely a keeper for future Thanksgivings! Looking forward to ordering again, and looking forward to their continued expansion into retail! read more

Solid almond croissant and Americano. Of course it is a little expensive but it is good. read more

First off, they made a huge and generous donation to healthcare workers at my hospital and I'm so glad they did because I probably would have never found them otherwise! Here is the meal set they gave us along with a loaf of artisan bread Check them out, you won't regret it!! The chicken pot pie (I think): DELICIOUS Say goodbye to frozen Marie Callender's pot pies, these are on a different level! The only thing holding me back from giving this a 10/10 would be that I ate it cold since I had to wait for my lunch break at work! Even then, the filling was flavorful and everything was cooked to perfection. Nothing was overly soft, and I must say the potatoes must have been my favorite. The flakey crust had a great buttery flavor and was still crisp to eat on top. Coleslaw? This one was pretty generic, my only feedback would be that it lacked in flavor a bit. Not a bad pairing with the pot pie though since it was extra flavorful Chocolate Chip Cookie from the heavenly realms of ovens: Soft, chewy, chocolatey. Dangerously delicious for my diet. I could probably eat 5 in one go! read more

Wow the absolute best gluten free bread and amazing customer service. Tara made our day and we will 100% be back again and again!!

Pre-ordered pies from Crema for Thanksgiving and they were an absolute hit! It was a very easy pick-up. We ordered the Apple Crumble, Pumpkin Pie, and the Pecan Tart - all delicious! However, the Pecan Tart definitely stole the show and multiple people said they preferred that over a traditional Pecan Pie. We'll definitely order again in the future! read more

Best apple crumble pie for Christmas! Tarit and the team do an incredible job with everything. Every item is fresh and tasty. Make sure you order fresh baked goods for any family occasion! read more

I placed a reservation order on 11/12. I went to pick up my order and I was the 2nd last person to pick up an order for today, a day before Thanksgiving Day. A guy worked at the front told me they run out of the brioche buns I ordered, and offered me to give me what's left from the pastry shelf or dinner rolls. I just don't understand, even though I ordered way ahead of most people, but why didn't I get what I ordered because I was one of the last people who picked up the order for today. What is the reservation for?? I was very unhappy with this experience. read more

Got to try a pot pie today. Even after rehearing it up it was so delicious. The crust is sweet and flaky. Filling is flavorful. Wish they sold whole pies!! read more

I found out about this place through a friend's post about helping local businesses amid this crisis. When I found out they sell flour, I stopped by to check it out. Im so glad I did! I ended up buying their flour, bread, croissants, cookies, etc. Everything tastes amazing! I've recommended Crema to friends and family and now we all shop there at least once a week! Got to meet the owner who is so friendly and helpful! He even shared a bread recipe with me! The staff also provides great customer service! read more

I love their croissant! Many people say that pastries from Moulin are good. If you're one of them, try Crema Artisan! I assure you it's better! I also ordered south dough and quiche for the first time. They are good as well:) The pick up experience was pleasant as well. Looking forward to trying more! read more

Purchased one of their chocolate chip cookies for $2 at the Orange Home Grown Farmer's Market this past weekend. It was honestly one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had in a long time! It was extremely soft and chewy, and was not overly sweet. I might have to make this a part of my weekly treat! They also threw in a free small shortbread cookie for me as well. I'm looking forward to trying their other goods the next time I go to the market! read more

I have heard of Crema Cafe in Seal Beach but have not tried it because they usually have very long lines. They made a wholesale bakery business which supplies many businesses and coffee shops in Orange county. In the OC register it mentioned that the wholesale bakery is now open for the general public so I had to try it. Overall it is a small business in skypark circle near the airport. The pastries were fairly fresh, the croissants were not exceptionally crispy but were tasty. I will have to try out the loaves of bread that they have available. Overall this is a nice addition to Irvine, and I hope they continue to sell to the public even after the quarantine is lifted. read more

I ordered some breakfast pastries and a loaf of wheat bread for delivery Saturday morning and couldn't have been more pleased with the service and food!

Love Crema Artisan Bakers. Have been ordering their pastries weekly while being stuck at home. Their bread, muffins, cookies, and croissants are incredible. Just had their meat pies which were superb. Great local family business. Love the cafe in Seal Beach as well - has the best brunch! read more

Free delivery in Irvine and prices are hard to beat! Quality big sized croissants for only $2 each. Huge country loaf (22 slices) for only $6. So glad I found them. read more

The hours have changed during the pandemic and as of today, Crema opens to the public on Friday until 2 pm. They will deliver on Saturday. They have the best breads and pastries. They used to have specialty ice cream. The kouign amann is delish and the orange slice and custard pastry tastes like an old fashion creamsicle (creative genius). Croissant bread loaf and brioche are fabulous but so is the French white and sour dough. Actually, if you bought the last item on the shelf, it would still be delicious. Also, Tarit and his family and crew are super kind and give back to the community. read more
