The last time I was at Creme Caramel LA (roughly 7 years ago?) before this visit, they were in a smaller space around the corner from their new space on Kester. Their new (to-me) space is large, bright, colorful and includes a big outdoor patio to enjoy their delicious, Filipino-inspired desserts and beverages.

I love Creme Caramel LA. There are so many things to love about them.

Their deserts are creative, delicious and they have rotating, unique flavors as well as their classics. They specialize in custard/flan style desserts but they don't stop there. They also have amazing cheesecakes, bread puddings, bars, cookies, cakes, pies and more! They even have a fun "unicorn poop" item (spoiler, it's a meringue cookie).

They don't stop at dessert though! They also have some savory brunch style items and a full cafe menu. Besides the variety, I also appreciate how each item is packaged as a single serving. It lets me order a variety of things to try since I can never pick just one.

The staff and owner are some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. They are kind, generous and care about their wonderful, small business and community. The owners are from the Philippines and they use their cultural history to inspire exciting new flavors like the Calamansi Cheesecake.

I wish I could stop by more often. I used to live really close to their Valley shop but moved out of the area. They have lots of street parking available as well as a small parking lot. If you are looking for fun, original desserts, they are worth checking out!

There is a display case of different kinds of desserts, majority of them are Filipino desserts flavors, like ube and Buko Pandan. You can ask to sample the variety of flavors they have for the Creme Caramel. They also serve hot & cold beverages, vegan custards, spanish tortilla, pot pie, cookies, cakes, and pudding, etc.

Drinks The Watermelon Agua Fresca tasted like a mixture of watermelon and lime. There are also bits of watermelon pieces.

Desserts I took the Vanilla Bread Pudding home, it came with a side of vanilla syrup. The following day I warmed it up in the oven for a few minutes. When it was ready, I poured the syrup on top. I took my first bite and I was surprised about how good it tasted especially eating it the following day. The vanilla sauce was sticky, thick and not too sweet; I liked it a lot! I also got the Vanilla Creme Caramel, it was silky, smooth, and the sweetness was just right. They serve pastries from France Bakery. I got the Chocolate Croissant which I also warmed up the next day, it was a little dry.

Highlight I want more Vanilla Bread Pudding!

Customer Service Very helpful and friendly. They happily answered all our questions.

Creme Caramel is basically flan, but much more creamy and delicious. At Creme Caramel LA, they make all sorts of unique flavors. The flavors rotate so you can always try new ones each time. I especially enjoy the pandan flavor but will come back for the Thai tea creme caramel soon.

They are very much known for their bread pudding. I purchased the sea salt caramel bread pudding, which is their most popular item, but someone at work ate it so I still have yet to try it. They give you heating instruction and also the caramel sauce on the side to drizzle over.

The mini pies are also delicious. I had the ube pie and it was heavenly. The crumb was so yummy and had the perfect texture.

They are super nice and will allow you to sample a spoon of everything they have that day. Each dessert ranges from $4.50 - $5.50 in price so it's definitely not cheap. If you buy 4 items, you get $2 off. They also have coffee and a small sandwich selection.

The owner is Filipino, hence all the unique flavors. They are also at different farmer's markets everyday since that's how they got started. The store has only been opened for 3 months.

There is parking in the back lot but no entrance through the back area. You have to walk around the building but we cut through the laundromat to...
