Créme & Sugar (Del Mar)

You are reading mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog.  Kirk is vacationing and Cathy is writing, again.

After The Mister and I finished lunch at Seasurf Fish Co, we passed this storefront two doors down.IMG_5704We thought we should have dessert here. 
IMG_5704Peeking inside we noted familiar decor, consistent with other dessert/coffee places.
IMG_5704The hot and iced drinks menu is on the wall behind the Ordering area.
IMG_5704But, far more interesting choices are on the wall to the right, behind the ice  cream freezers.IMG_5706IMG_5706(If you can't enlarge to read the handwritten wall menus, here is the two-sided menu you can grab at the counter).  The offerings are "Epic" and pretty much 'County Fair Worthy' (there are some photos on the menu). IMG_5704 We decided to go basic, ordering a single scoop ($3.75) of Butter Pecan ice cream.  The serving is HUGE.  The ice cream was good, but the flavor not as 'buttery'/salty as other versions.  The pecans were chopped small.  It is a quality ice cream, but a different flavor will be chosen next time.  
IMG_5704We decided an Affogato ($5.50) over Sweet Créme  ice cream would be nice. Servings elsewhere are not this large. The espresso here is excellent.  The ice cream was rich and had a ribbon of condensed milk running through.  Quite nice. This will be ordered again.

IMG_5715 There are also cookies and slices of cake available.  Next time.

All in all, a lot of dessert, fresh and tasty.  We were stuck in traffic and got home late; neither of us was hungry at dinner time.

Kirbie has been here.

  1. The choices here are interesting, Soo. I was impressed with the coffee flavor-usually that suffers in places like this. It seems to be a fun place available all year.

  2. We love their peppermint ice cream, seemingly available year-round! Fun flavors and they are nice about letting you sample a few first!

  3. Oh, that sounds refreshing, Cathy. We didn’t even think of asking for samples of the flavors this time. Welcome to the commenting side of the blog.
    Yes, the servings were much larger than anticipated, Kat. Quite lovely flavors and quality ice cream.
    A lot more ice cream than anticipated, cc. We will order accordingly…next time. The cakes are beautiful and we plan to share a slice with coffee.
