Hours 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily

Located in Old Town Tustin, Cream Pan is a hidden gem that's quickly becoming more and more noticed due to their famous strawberry croissants. I worked here for about three years and got to try all of their amazing pastries and food items. Pretty much everything here is delicious, but there are a few items I think are the best. 

Strawberry Banana Croissant (4/5): It's a croissant bar topped with nutella, custard, strawberries, and bananas. Simple but very tasty. The custard they use is the best because it's not overly sweet. 

Azuki Cream (4/5): If you're a fan of red bean definitely get this. It's a puff pastry filled with sweet red bean and whipped cream. 

Curry Pan (4/5): A popular snack in Japan, basically a donut filled with beef curry stew. Pop it in the microwave for 10  seconds and it's perfection. 

Katsu Curry (4.5/5): Their only hot dish, I really love the curry here because it's spicy with a hint of sweetness and the sauce is thin. 

Cheese Boule (4/5): If you're able to get this when it comes out fresh, it is amazing. A nice french bread ball filled with gruyere cheese. 

I guarantee you won't be disappointed coming here. There are so many more items that I love, but then this post would get way too long! Cream Pan has high quality products that are budget friendly. Pastries and breads are usually in the $2-3 range while food items such as sandwiches and sushi are $4-9. If you're planning to go on a weekend I would suggest going before 9 AM as it gets very busy. This place is a 5/5 for me.
