Cream Pan Bakery Lomita in Lomita

Great sandwiches could be a little better but okay. Pastries are fresh crispy and delicious. Very large space great for meeting old friends or coming with the family. I highly recommend you try this place if you are in the neighborhood.

Okay this is our first time here at this new business location in Lomita where we live! It is very well lit and clean and a good selection of Bakery goods and some deli Goods! We will likely be back and enjoy some more goodies!

I visited this bakery for the first time today. Im really impressed with everything about it! This is a Japanese bakery, and they have items like Cream Pan, Curry Pan, sushi rolls, rice balls, pork bao, sandwiches to drinks like freshly squeezed juices and coffee. The atmosphere was nice with soft music playing, and the bakery is organized with fresh bread in the front and a line you get into to request different hot items. Parking can be kind of tight, but at least it is in a residential area so there is ample parking on the street. Service is fast for having to train employees, and they have an efficient method for taking orders. I would definitely return again! I just wish it was open til 8pm instead of 7pm!

Service: slightly chaotic but friendly.Parking: small private lot maybe 20 spaces (enter on 240th St.) with free street parking.Based in Orange County, Cream Pan finally opened up shop in the South Bay... yasss!!! Located off Narbonne Ave. & 240th St., the bakery was a bright white so it stood out in the residential neighborhood. The street is fairly busy on a Saturday afternoon that I was almost rear ended when I slowed to a sweet spot adjacent to the bakery before noticing the private lot. Yikes!Once inside, its goodies run lengthwise as you enter from the right & peruse your way left through all their offerings. The 1st case displays their best seller -- strawberry croissants -- prepackaged in a box of 6. Gotta get me some of those!! If you buy the box or trays, its slightly discounted (between 2% - 7%) from an individual serving.With just a couple of hours left before closing, I was surprised at the amount of goodies left. According to their website, Cream Pan has a pretty substantial menu & not everything was displayed during my visit. Im guessing theyre working on it since I consider this period as their soft opening to work out their inventory & kinks. There were several people ahead of me, but the line was held up by the customers & staff trying to figure whose first. It took me a second before realizing I could skip ahead to pay for my grab-&-go box. I inquired at the counter if they have a loyalty program. Nope. Not that they need one to encourage loyal patronage, though it would be a nice reward for us customers. Heres hoping they may create one (85°C, JJ, Torrance Bakeries does)The bakery is close to home & walkable, but not in this early fall that feels likes summer. I dont think these strawberry croissants would hold well for a 25-min. walk, maybe doable when the weathers cooler. We were home in a couple of mins. & my 7 YO immediately dove into his; a huge smile lit up upon 1st bite. While the croissants are slightly smaller than other local bakeries, they still have that buttery flaky goodness. Cream Pans has more of a crispy texture, & its stuffed with a light custard & fresh strawberries that you get a delicious taste of both in every bite. Soooooo yummy!! Strawberry season has passed so theyre not as sweet & juicy... I can only imagine how this treat will get better during strawberry season. Oh my!The owner, Yoshinori Inaba, initially focused on cream pans (sweet buns with light custard), hence its name, then expanded to pastries, breads, cakes, Japanese-style sandwiches, & savory rice dishes.I plan on tasting through their menu; starting with: apple croissant, blueberry croissant, strawberry banana croissant, pan au raisin, azuki cream, croquette & yakisoba sandwiches (this noodle sandwich sounds interesting) so I can recommend/use them to cater our morning meetings. Cream Pan has shorter hours than the local bakeries; however, they open early enough & would be a great option for our morning meetings.Only 2 weeks in & Cream Pan already has 40 Yelp reviews... with their rising popularity, Im sure a long line will be forming for their baked goods. Come early so you dont miss out on their treats!Highly Recommended: Strawberry Croissants!!

If you havent visit yet you MUST! Rows of neatly displayed oven-fresh pastries, bread loaves, bento boxes, pretty perfect sandwiches (katsu, egg salad, ham, tuna, turkey. The selection and variety of everything Cream Pan Bakery has to offer is truly impressive!Do not pass on their infamous Strawberry Croissant. Its so good! Flakey, buttery, creamy...not too sweet with the perfect amount of tartness.The prices are decent and somewhat affordable for the quality you get.Lots of indoor sitting available and parking as well.

The old T&O Yamaha!🏁😊Plenty of parking and very open and clean building.Everything looked so good, I ordered a walnut raisin bread, two hot dog croissants, two lemon tarts and a orange brioche.I did order ham and cheese croissants but I guess the young man didnt hear me correctly and gave me six almond croissants😢I guess partially my fault for not paying attention.🤔I was a little bummed but I guess thats my fault,All in all my total came to $42.80Which I consider a fair price for delicious food.😊ps: theres no photo of the hot dog croissants because we ate them.🤣

Got a variety to find what I liked best. My favorites are the cream puff and the ham and cheese. You cant go wrong with either!

Their best seller is Strawberry Croissant*****.I also tried Blueberry Croissant*****Strawberry & Banana Croissant*****As for Azuki Cream** ( not that special )

This is hands down the best place to get a pastry or sandwich. This place is very clean and well staffed. Everyone genuinely seems to be happy from the staff to the customers. I have been four times this month. I take someone new everytime. Everyone I have introduced to this place is very pleased. Truly a gem in our quaint little city.

Totally tasty!! They have such a variety of things for everyone
