About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Crème Caramel LA, a regular whispered to his friend one morning, ‘I swear I saw the baker talking to someone behind that closed door.’ Ever since then, customers claim they’ve caught glimpses of strange figures lurking around after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver parked outside and heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw only empty shelves and a lone caramel custard cooling on the counter. Smiling to himself, he thought, ‘Probably just the ghost of a long-gone pastry chef,’ and drove off, never realizing he’d left his headlights on—until the baker’s cat started meowing at him from the street.
2. At Crème Caramel LA, a delivery driver once asked curiously, ‘Why does the same lady always leave without paying for her pastries?’ With a twinkle in his eye, she replied, ‘Oh, I’m not leaving without paying—just waiting for my husband to arrive with our monthly subscription.’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, realizing that some things are better left unsolved.
3. At Crème Caramel LA, a delivery driver once asked curiously, ‘Why do these pastries always look like they’re smiling back at me?’ The baker just smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because every pastry here is made with love.’ The delivery driver shrugged it off, but from then on, whenever he delivered there, he couldn’t help noticing that each croissant seemed to be winking at him.
4. At Crème Caramel LA, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar: every Wednesday, an old lady in a long coat would appear exactly at 3 PM and order the exact same pastry, never taking it home but simply standing there, eating it on the spot. Finally, one day the curious delivery guy decided to follow her. Turned out she was just waiting for her granddaughter to arrive—who always showed up precisely at 3:05 with their car full of groceries. They’d share a laugh over coffee before heading home together.
