Cream Pan Bakery boasts infamous strawberry croissants, pecan cinnamon buns, cream puffs, and other brilliant confectioneries sure to satisfy a sweets craving. This stunning bakery constantly churns out baked goods to fill the cold cases, and local favorites tend to sell out daily.

Folks from near and far head to Cream Pan’s simple storefront on El Camino Real, and although croissants and pastries remain popular, their Japanese dishes and desserts have a loyal following. Tempura rolls and azuki creams create a line of their own, even presented in the traditional way of Japanese dining. Cream Pan is used to lines and waiting, but guests say they can’t complain, and many join the line for strawberry croissants alone. Onigiris wait at the register for those craving a quick Japanese snack, while simple choices like the turkey avocado sandwich await those less daring.
