THE BEST bakery! All of their baked goods are delicious! The best almond croissant ever! I live two hours away and make it a point to stop by when I’m in town. Highly recommend!

This is such a cute little shop ! Gives European vibes - it’s cute and quaint and beware they are only open three days a week ! People know this because there’s always a line out the door- the line moved quickly and they have enough workers inside to help keep it moving ! All the pastries and the sandwiches look lovely and inviting once you walk in . We ordered a cappuccino and some croissants - everything was pretty good - not the best I’ve ever had but we still Enjoyed it!

Instantly became one of my favorite bakeries! Quality of all goods is way above par. Lovely atmosphere. Right when you enter, you are immediately hit with the amazing fragrance of freshly baked goods. On display, each baked good looks aesthetically please, that its really hard not to choose all of them. Don't worry, they taste just as good as they look, and smell! Staff is friendly, professional, and fast. Around 8-9 the line forms outside the cafe, so be prepared to queue up. Not many places can pull off the cafe vibes as natural as this place. Most places try, but doesn't feel genuine like this place. Wish there was more room to hangout, enjoy the good, and soak of the vibes up the place. Location is in the village area, so parking is available around. Although, it can get busy on weekends, or night time.

Crème is one of the best things about Claremont—if you know, you know! My friends and family love this bakery, and we’ve always raved about their freshly baked bread and amazing customer service. I’ll continue to order every single cake from them without hesitating. Just wish they had more small cut pieces of cake as an option when there is no special occasion, I still crave their cake... Given their great reputation, it’s no surprise how wonderful they are! I wanted to share my experience while still celebrating everything that makes Crème such a special part of Claremont!

I usually come here for their sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies. They do sell out quickly on their sandwiches, my favorite is the brie with thick slices of butter on their baguette. Their chocolate chips which have crispy, buttery edges are great too. Crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside, it's on the thinner side as well. The staff is nice and the place is clean, seating is limited though.

The vegan cake was a worthy pick! Ordering was easy, pick up was simple (I even tried the lemon scone which was EXCELLENT.) Thank you so much for a memorable occasion.

There's something quietly charming about living in this part of town. I usually shy away from crowded places, but this little shop is my one gentle exception. If there's a line, let it be an invitation to slow down—bring a book, take a breath, settle into the wait. It can get cozy inside, so a moment to center yourself before entering goes a long way. You'll often catch an international murmur in the air, which feels just right for a college town. I usually order a chocolate croissant with a small black coffee—simple and grounding. My day really begins when I step back outside, easing the door closed behind me. I hope you'll carry a little of that quietness with you, too, and help keep this space as peaceful as you found it.

Crème is one of my all-time favorite spots for amazing baked goods and pastries. The moment you walk in, the place feels warm and welcoming, with a cozy ambiance that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff are always kind, helpful, and quick to serve, so even if there’s a line, it moves fast. I’ve been visiting for years, and the quality has never changed—it’s consistently fantastic. Their ham and cheese croissant is my go-to breakfast treat, perfectly flaky with just the right balance of savory flavor. The muffins and cookies are also incredible, each one soft, fresh, and full of that homemade goodness. One of their hidden gems is the baguette filled with Italian sausage and cheese—it’s absolutely delicious! The crust is crisp, the inside is flavorful, and those little pickles tucked inside give it the perfect tangy bite. This bakery is also great for takeout lunch or a casual picnic. Pair that sausage baguette and a chocolate chip cookie with a cold beer, and you’ve got the perfect afternoon meal. I recently enjoyed that combo with a Claremont Craft Ales “Baldy” during the Village Venture, and it was a match made in heaven. Crème truly captures the charm of a neighborhood bakery. Everything they make tastes fresh, thoughtful, and full of love. Just a quick tip—make sure to grab your favorites on Saturday since they’re closed on Sunday. This place never disappoints and will always have a special spot on my list of local favorites! Would you like me to make a shorter Google-style version (3–4 lines) from this one too?

The drip coffee is well made. Beautiful displays. Some local artisan items for sale also. Plants thrive due to the skylight which makes for an even nicer atmosphere. The almond apricot brioche toast is my favorite. Sometimes there is a line but it moves quickly because they work as a team behind the counter.
