Cream Pan (Tustin, CA)

Earlier in the day, we were sitting patiently at Gen Korean BBQ waiting for our meat to arrive when I glanced at my phone to turn off the driving directions.  I immediately noticed Cream Pan on the map, which was on my “To Eat” list for a while.  Yes, I have a “To Eat” list.  Any serious eater should!  đź™‚

I was so excited when I realized that it was literally around the corner!

Normally, I would show you an exterior or interior shot of the store, but it’s not the fanciest and I kinda forgot once I saw the pretty desserts.  You know how I love my pastries!

Here are a few of their delicious desserts!

One of their specialties is the Strawberry Croissant, which I bought and inhaled in about 10 seconds!  The layers of pastry are so flaky and light and the cream inside is perfectly sweet.  đź™‚

The Japanese influence can be seen in these Azuki Cream Puffs with red bean inside!  My partner in crime bought one of these.  đź™‚

Don’t these blueberry croissants look beautiful!  I love blueberry anything, and this is definitely now on my “To Eat” list.  đź™‚

These little Orange Brioche are equal parts delicious and cute, right?

The second pastry I took home was simply called “Orange Chocolate.”  I asked what it was, and the owner’s daughter said that it was her dad’s favorite.  Sold!

Little bits of chocolate chips and orange zest were studded in the pastry.  I know this sounds strange, but it was like a combination of monkey bread and croissant with a yummy glaze over the whole thing!

I bought this for my mom because she loves her Raisin Bread.  There were all kinds of freshly baked bread!

Really, I was so excited to cross a bakery off of my list, but it looks like I just added to it instead.  đź™‚

Blueberry croissants, here I come!
