I love this place! Tried the smoked salmon toast today, and it was absolutely lovely. Great menu, bread, staff, dining area and patio. Doggies are welcome on the patio, too! Relaxing atmosphere + great food and coffee + warm and friendly staff = a great dining experience!
Great place for breakfast or brunch. Great service and the foods are very good. Love any of their bread 🍞 🥖 and pastries. I could eat these all day. It can be busy and the wait can be long so come early and enjoy the food much better. They have a courtyard so it’s very nice to seat outdoor enjoying breakfasts 🍳.
Great food! Great staff! Great time! Would definitely recommend this place.
If you want to enjoy a nice and tasty brunch after a heavy morning walk or jog, this is the place to be. Keep in mind that this place is usually very crowded so expect 30-40 min wait around 10-12 in the morning. Tech servers are nice but may not be knowledgeable on their options, so please confirm. To give a context, one server said they offer freshly squeezed orange juice but next time another server said they don't offer such and other server might have just said it for time being. Even with this, food is very tasty and plentiful. Price is a bit high but the quantity justifies it.
Food quality : 4/5

Free parking for 2 hours on the streets and should not be an issue on weekends.
Stumbled upon this cafe with my wife, and we were so happy we did. The barista recommended the chicken pot pie. Wow! It was so good we went back and got another one. We will definitely be back to try other items and for another pie.
We love the baked goods! Get there early for the best selection. The pretzel chocolate croissants and cinnamon pull aparts are fantastic! We had breakfast. My husband had the breakfast sandwich and I had sausage and eggs and a London Fog. Even with the hot,humid day. The outside seating, the greenery makes me understand why during busy times ( this wasn’t) they limit your time to 1 hour. This was our second visit are first eat in experience and we will be back!
Great breakfast spot. Quick service. Friendly staff. Great food. The crepes are delicious. So are the chiliquiles. The burritos are pretty filling too. Coffee and tea is good. The bread is delicious.
Where do I begin? First and foremost, the BEST hidden breakfast spot in Orange County! I tried Crema Cafe for the very first time today and I was blown away and instantly fell in Love! The food was fresh, the portions were huge and the taste and quality was to die for. The service was A+. Blake and Ashlan were top notch servers throughout my dining experience. They both had smiles on their faces the entire time and were quick and very Professional with their services as they both attended to me this morning. I highly recommend this hidden Gem. Hopefully you'll have Ashlan or Blake as your server.

Best breakfast spot in Seal Beach. You can either dine in or take out. They have a bakery attached if you want to order fresh made bread, fresh pastries, coffee or if you want to order something to go. The avocado toast is really good, as is the oatmeal and brioche French toast. The kids and I usually come here for breakfast or lunch.
Wow what a wonderful brunch we had. We did make reservations the night before since we read the reviews ans the policy if you don't show up within 5 minutes after your reservation time then they give the table away, it was also Saturday so we knew it would be. The staff were all very friendly helping eachother out, cleaning tables, waiting tables. Our server was very friendly and kind. The drinks came out fast and then the food came out fast. Omg the breakfast potatoes were so delicious. The carnitas eggs Benedict so good, the omelet with the artesian bread on the side. Must must must do again!
I really want to give this place a four and a half Stars.
I loved their clam chowder!
To slight negatives...
1) following my meal, I purchased seven pastries including a coconut scone and a pumpkin spice scone. There might have been a mistake because both of the scones tasted the same. Also the pastries did not seem to be fresh. They dried out really really fast.
2) this comment is very minor...
I really love Tabasco sauce with my clam chowder. They had tapatio sauce and Cholula sauce.
I want to close out by saying that the service was outstanding!
Nice weekend brunch spot in seal beach. Gets busy so make a reservation. Typical brunch food with some healthy options. I personally had the caprese sandwich after I saw one come out that looked amazing. Before I ordered that I was going to get the Benedict. Seems to have a great menu of choices so check it out. Nice walk a couple blocks away from the beach and pier if you choose after. Enjoy!
The first time in here for me
I booking the table outdoors seat
Friendly staff good service
The food is really great have a lot of options.
Crema ioffers breakfast indulging your pallets sophisticated side. My wife rates it her favorite omelette on Main St. ( sorry Old Town ). The potatoes were an amazing wedge cut seasoned with basil or rosemary or something like that. I found the Crepe delightful for the sweet tooth I was battling and the homemade whip cream truly was the topping on the Crepe.
If you want a tap of charm while dining, then this is your place. Love that the outdoor dining is tucked back from main street. Looking forward to my next visit.
Good breakfast. They bake their own bread and pastries. Ask for a side of garlic butter sauce. It goes great on everything from their breakfast sandwiches to their potatoes. The Seal Beach omelette is nice. I also like the roasted vegetable omelette, add caramelized onion. You can sub any pastry for bread with your breakfast.
Nice spot in seal beach. Decent prices and big menu. I had the artichoke chicken sandwich which was good and had some different flavours like caramelized onions, Swiss cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and the artichoke of course. Good coffee.
We had breakfast on 7/15/2023. The outdoor area was spacious with lots of tables but didn’t seem crowded. I wish I’d taken a photo of my ham and cheese omelet which I substituted fresh fruit for potatoes and accompanied by sourdough toast. I was fantastic! The eggs had a delightful amount of cheese. The toast which they make in-house was stellar. Hubby had a French eggs Benedict over a French croissant. Yumm!
Excellent professional service. Amazing food! Chilaquiles and Banana Foster Crepe, on point! Served super hot, great portion size, excellent presentation. Sat outside. No wait on Monday morning. Thank you!
