Cream Pan (Tustin, CA) - The Episodic Eater

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!
