Ive been a couple of times now and I have to say that they do indeed serve good breakfasts here. Hence, its a popular spot, with accompanying wait times. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. At least they have a texting system. The first time I came here was a few years ago with a friend for some food after a run in HB, and I think I had their eggs benedict. This time it was for brunch with another friend and I tried their Mexican crepe. Im a big fan of chorizo these days for some reason (even Soyrizo), and the thought of a crepe filled with chorizo and cheese, topped with sour cream and avocado just sounded really good! When the food came I was pretty surprised at how big the portion size was--very generous. The crepe was very tasty but I thought the accompanying potatoes were just OK, a little on the bland side so I had to sprinkle a lot of hot sauce on them. Went for the gusto that morning and also got a chocolate croissant to go with the coffee. Also just OK--I probably shouldve requested it to be warmed; will remember for next time. Overall, a satisfying breakfast.

Another day, another brunch with the lovely Steph. I love our brunch dates. This time, we chose this place because I was curious about it. It was a lovely day out - quite perfect and just beautiful. Parking was a little tough to find on the main drag but I eventually prevailed and made my way in. The cafe is lovely. We got a seat on the shaded patio and promptly ordered a round of coffees and a chocolate crossiant. The coffee was great but the crossiant lacked something - maybe it just needed to be warmed up. If I visit again, I might try a different flavor since they had a few to pick from. For my brunch, I decided upon the french toast. It was served up with a marmalade syrup that wasnt too sweet and seemed to be just perfect for my decadent slices of french toast. I polished it off without much to say and enjoyed every bite.

I went there today for breakfast with my mom and they gave bad service... They were giving service to people that got there after I did with my mom and they didnt want to take our orders or greet us today. One of the women that work there looked at us from toe to head and she even made faces when we sat down..... its a great restaurant if you are a light skin person my mom and I are Hispanic, we are dark brown skin and they discriminated us becuase of our skin color... The color of my money is the same as any other person that was sitting there as well

Crema is one of those little brunch hole in the wall places that youre not totally sure about until you see the line running down the block. Dont worry they have an app where you can "get in line" before even leaving your house. You can check your current position in line and leave accordingly. It makes the wait almost irrelevant. The food here is wonderful. All super fresh and yummy. Lots of healthy vegetarian options. But they also have their share of substantial meals. This is the kind of place you can take anyone.

I absolutely love this place, it has a semi European style ordering system with the welcoming warm feel of an American small town. The food is top notch and they used their own baked good in the creation of their delightful dishes. The recommendations on the menu are great and I have yet to be disappointed with anything I purchase from there. The only caveat is that you pay for good food so dont expect it to be anything like a cheap fast food place, which I am ok with.

Love this place! The food I ordered was great! I have had the misfortune of getting some horrible Eggs Benedict at other restaurants in the past, so I was very excited with how yummy this was. The hollandaise sauce was more peppery than others I have had. The servers were nice. The food was great. The atmosphere was chill. I would totally recommend this place for people to go hang out and do some catch up talking. I would totally go back!

We went in around 1 p.m on Saturday and while they were busy, we were seated very quickly. The outside seating was perfect and the atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. They had a great menu with several choices, Im sure almost anyone could find something to eat there. All four of my party were very happy with their food, it was delicious and exactly as ordered. As a side note, they are kid-friendly and they do have highchairs.

Their crepes are enough to keep me coming back over and over again. I love bringing new friends here and having them experience the deliciousness. Their menu is extensive and everything sounds soo good it is hard to choose. The portions are big. My favorite so far has been the breakfast crepe and nutella strawberry crepe. Their matcha latte is also sweet and comforting.

The omelet I had was okay, nothing special, and slightly undercooked. The blueberry pancake was dry and tough, amplified by the fact that they only present that goopy, motor oil-like conglomeration passed off as syrup. If you dont serve real maple syrup, you are no better than IHOP or Dennys. The server was nice, thus the one star. Otherwise, zero stars.

Quaint little cafe with phenomenal omelets and crepes. It can get crowded for breakfast but in general is pretty relaxing. They also serve Illy for the specialty coffee drinks - a plus in my book as its my favorite mainstream coffee brand. Its also nice that they offer kids selections - often leaving leftovers for later (that I help myself to).

This place was delightful. Cheese blend is really unique and tasty. Breakfast burrito had incredibly fluffy eggs and decent amount of bacon. Tortilla was ok but the presentation and atmosphere were top notch. Excellent service. They remade our crepe to order without a second thought. We will definitely be back soon and often!

Brought a French lady friend here for lunch. We both ordered sandwiches which were delicious. Her soup was good too. For desert we shared a banana crepe, not so good and she would know, being from France. However, right next door is the restaurants bakery, order your pastries from here, they are amazing.

One of our favorite places in Seal Beach for a Saturday morning outside breakfast. Their Corned Beef is outstanding and my usual goto. Also have fabulous crepes, pancakes, waffles, omelettes, and sandwiches. Switched it up and had an egg and arugala sandwich that was amazing.

Excellent café to grab some coffee when I usually only have 15 minutes left towards the end of lunch break coming here. The coffee is served quick and with a unique taste. The environment is set as if you were in the European side of the world with a very calm social tone.

Great bakery, great sweets breakfast. Okay savory breakfast. I got soyrizo thinking it would be healthier and still delicious and they didnt bother cooking it. Felt like cold slimy slop on an English muffin with a poached egg for the eggs Benedict.
