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!  

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.  

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

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

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.
