Creme Lounge

Creme offered such a good range on the menu, took a while to chose. Great dishes, flavourful and portions were more than enough. Service was friendly, with the convince of the ability to order from the table via your phone. The venue has spacious seating, with outdoor seating available. However the majority of the outdoor seating can get a bit sunny and warm. Very pleasant dining experience, easy to relax and worth the visit.

My absolute go to dine in the area. Very welcoming ambiance, nice tasting food, reasonable price and amazing tasty food. I highly recommended the seafood platter, and I’m looking forward to my next visit. Update photos added 3/7/22, visited few more time after my previous review, tried different food in the menu, and as expected just yum! *“Gnocchi need some improvement”

It's taken me a while to get to Creme but I'm so glad that recently I was able to share it with my adult kids. As people who used to eat out a lot, we are just putting our toes back into the water and trying dining out again. On a beautiful autumnal day, we were able to secure a table outdoors under the awning. The cafe was busy with diners under umbrellas avoiding the mid morning sun. Adults, teens, kids, couples, friends, families, dogs and more. A lovely atmosphere. My 22 yo son had the Big Breakfast Board and as a 6'4" lad, he has a big appetite. He said it was the best big breakfast he'd ever had. The little side dish of muesli, fruit and panna cotta made it that bit more special and certainly caught our eyes as it was placed on the table. My daughter loves her burgers and certainly ticked all her boxes. My other daughter had the lamb pizza and it was a good size - enough that she asked for a container and took some home with her. In this cafe you scan a QR code that is on the table. You order and pay online. It's so cool because you can see what each meal looks like. Entrees, mains, drinks - all can be ordered online. Took us about 10 minutes to realise this as we waited for someone to give us menus. However, our order didn't go through and after 20 minutes I went inside and spoke to the staff. They were so apologetic, took my order and ensured it was hurried through. And it was. Meals on the table in 15 minutes! Each meal was a good portion size and when we asked for some more sauce, it was at the table in a flash. Big shout out to Creme and all the staff - the chefs, the waiting staff, the cleaners - everyone. I work in hospitality and was rapt to see the quality on every level. Covid-19 compliant and although we don't have to use QR codes any more, they were still up (just in case). Parking - this section of Pier Street has been closed off from Queen Street to Blythe Street so parking is in the side streets. No meters but parking limits are around 2 hours. Disability - Disabled friendly both indoors and outdoors. Dietaries - Well covered and the staff are happy to accommodate any special dietary requirements. Good range for vegetarians and vegans. Dog friendly. A bowl of water available for the canine members of your family. Toilets - didn't notice if it had toilets, but if not, there are public toilets only 100m away in the nearby park. I highly recommend Creme to everyone and enjoy the delights of Altona.

Friendly staff. Nice setting, spacious. QR menu ordering. Different menu to what is on their website and google reviews from previous diners. (Granted some things the same). Fritters - served cold. Tasted ok reheated in oven. Chicken burger had the same comparison to a grilled McDonald's burger. Vanilla slice from Creme was recently in a top ten vanilla slice article. Was nice.

Crème is a nice spacious cafè with a warm fireplace in the winter and ideal outdoor seating on lovely Pier Street when the glorious sun is shining.. Nice enough coffee, ok atmosphere.... The barista could smile occasionally being at the front all the time. I'm sorry ....to win me over if you are going to serve vanilla slices that even remotely look like French Vanilla slices they should at least taste good! Great infact, not bland and look like a block of jelly when cut in half!.. That's being critical I guess it's just such a bug place with a great location it seems such a wasted opportunity to me... I personally don't understand why these businesses if they're going to have a big cake display don't have the type of irresistible cakes that make you return over and over with everyone you can because you must have another & then try yet another... return custom ls everything in hospital and we are talking about Pier St Altona here. I understand why so many avoid it now... I used to wonder why people would say "Not Creme!" or only go there if everything else was busy... Because it's ok.. it hits the spot but it's not memorable.
