Cream Pan - Lomita

If you haven't heard about the Strawberry Croissant, I feel sorry for you. 


This iconic Fountain Valley pastry caused a stir when it came to the South Bay. Those three tangy sweet slices of strawberries sandwiched in a small croissant filled with dollops of pudding-like cream made quite the splash. The pastry is flaky, layers airy and light, and there's a contrast of crispy shell and cream that makes it the best balanced sweet you'll ever eat. Great with your morning coffee but just as good with an afternoon tea. 


They make other items as well, traditional croissants that are equally airy and light, scones that are doughy with seemingly less sugar, and a Boston cream donut has that same signature cream filling inside.

You'll never leave this bakery unsatisfied - it seems there are no bad decisions to make. The strawberry croissant is still the standout so don't leave without at least one of those.
