We decided to stop in after eating hawaiian food. We always try to get the seasame cream puffs, which is always sold out. It was 1230. . We mistakenly brought a small to go box inside. When I set it down with the rest of my family they remind us my daughter can't consume food or a snowcone while were eating a cream puffs it's against there rules, the first thing the lady said was that we couldn't have outside food inside. so I just asked for a sesame cheesecake to go because I felt like a leper if we stayed but my daughter had to eat outside while we ate cheesecake inside.

Read more✨From RN to Cake Queen 👑—Helen Yoshihara’s Pâtisserie Chantilly is a sugar-dusted dream tucked away in Lomita! 🇫🇷🍵🇯🇵
We stumbled into this charming little gem at 2383 Lomita Blvd and left floating on clouds made of chiffon cake and matcha foam. Think French elegance meets Japanese finesse—delicate, light, not-too-sweet cakes that basically whispered to our taste buds. 🍰💫
Paired with a café latte and matcha so smooth it could sing jazz, every bite and sip was perfection. The service? Like a warm hug wrapped in whipped cream—so kind and welcoming! 🤗☕️
We loved it so much we walked out with TWO boxes of cakes (no regrets, only crumbs). And yes, we’re 1000% coming back for the twin daughters’ birthday cake—because what’s better than a birthday? A Chantilly birthday. 🎂🎉👯♀️
PSA: If you haven’t been yet, RUN, don’t walk. Your taste buds will thank you. #CakeGoals #ChantillyMagic...
