The Brand

What is Crème?

Crème is a New York inspired dessert shop that puts a French twist on American classics. The French twist comes from our Executive Chef Gabrielle Coste and the American classics we specialise in are cookies and soft serve ice cream.

What does Crème mean?

Crème is ‘cream’ in French and we wanted a name that sounded soft, warm and cosy just like our cookies.

The Cookies

What are your flavours?

We have 4 flavours – Milk Chocolate, Double Chocolate, Miso & White Chocolate, Banana & Dark Chocolate.

Do you do vegan?

Yes! We sourced all natural ingredients to replace the non-vegan parts of our Double Chocolate Cookie.

Do you do gluten free?

We are working on it!

Why are there nuts in all the cookies?

Because when we were developing the recipes, nothing brought the density but also the crumble to the cookie like ground almonds. We also love the subtle sweet/nutty flavour they bring to the dough. We know that lots of people are allergic so we’re going to try and develop nut free cookies! 

Where are the cookies made?

At our shops in Soho & Notting Hill every day.

Are you going to do any more flavours?

Totally! We’re always working on new ones and have 100s of ideas we want to bring to you in cookie form. It’s important to us that we stay to our French roots so are keen to bring you flavours inspired by our patisserie background.

How do you make them gooey?

Secret, sorry!

Are the cookies undercooked?

No of course not! The cookies actually travel through a super smart oven that means they can never be undercooked, or overcooked for that matter. The goo is perfectly safe to eat.

What are the allergens?

Our cookies: Nuts, Milk, Eggs, Gluten, Soya
Our soft serve: Milk, Gluten (adding our cookie crumb will add the cookie allergens as well!)

Cookie Mainte- nance

How long do they stay fresh?

The cookies are baked super fresh and we would recommend you eat them on the day of arrival, using our reheat instructions.

How should they be stored?

The box is fine but ideally in an airtight container, or you can clingfilm the box. Exposure to air is what makes them dry and too hard.

What should I do if I want to eat them in 2 days?

Put them in the oven for 5 minutes at 180C and they will go back to their gooey best!

Can they be frozen?

Yes, we recommend freezing on the day of purchase and when ready to eat, bake at 180C for 10 minutes or until warmed through.

The Ice Cream

What is the ice cream flavour?

Malt flavour.

Is it gluten free?

No.
