Le Crème Cafe — Restaurant in San Jose

Le Crème Cafe is an absolute gem in the South Bay and hands-down serves the best mochi donuts in the area. As someone who’s tried mochi donuts from various spots, I can confidently say that nothing compares to what Le Creme Cafe offers.

Their donuts are a perfect balance of texture and flavor—lightly crispy on the outside and wonderfully chewy on the inside. They’re not overly sweet, which allows the unique flavors to really shine. My personal favorites are the ube and honeydew. The ube has a rich, creamy flavor that’s spot-on, and the honeydew is refreshing and delightfully fragrant—both are a must-try!

While their mochi donuts are the stars of the show, Le Creme Cafe also offers a solid menu of snacks, boba, teas, coffees, and smoothies. Everything I’ve tried has been good, but honestly, the donuts are what keep me coming back time and time again.

In fact, their donuts have become a family tradition for us. We always order them for birthdays and special celebrations—they’re a hit with everyone, young and old. They’re beautifully presented and taste just as good as they look, making them the perfect treat for any occasion.

If you’re in the South Bay and haven’t been to Le Creme Cafe yet, you’re missing out. This is a place where quality and creativity meet, and it’s well worth a visit. Don’t leave without trying their mochi donuts—you’ll...

This review is only about the mochi donuts! This cafe sells a lot of other things from smoothies, to beignets, and malasadas but I only came here for mochi donuts and I'm glad I did!

They make their donuts fresh so it might take awhile to come out. But because they are fresh, they come out deliciously warm! The frosting often times gets ruin because they have to slightly stack them on top of one another to fit in the box but still amazing regardless. When the donuts when warm they were slightly crispy on the outside while soft and slightly chewy on the inside. The frosting wasn't too sweet and added a nice subtle flavor. If you wait for the donuts to completely cool down, the donuts become more mochi-like and very chewy!

They have multiple flavors! At the time I went, they had sugar, churro, strawberry, matcha, and cookies and cream. Each donut is $2, six for $10.50, and a dozen for $21. Will definitely be back for more...

Heard good things about this place so decide to try it out. Their menu is huge so there were a few things on their we wanted to try. But ultimately we were there for the mochi donuts. Compared to the ones we had in Hawaii, these were pretty good. We also tried their beignets. They make them to order so there was a little wait, but when you get them they're fresh out of the oven and still hot!!! Pair those with whatever drink you may choose ( we had the taro-coconut and vanilla-chai smoothies) and you have yourself a tasty snack!!! They also have rice plates and finger food. They're open until midnight so you have a lot of time to get there. Their seating, both inside and outside is a little bit limited. We drove from Santa Clara and will definitely be back to try other items on...
