The Crème Brûlée Cart

The chocolate crème brûlée is absolutely perfection in a cup. It brings back delicious memories of my mom’s chocolate pudding. For four dollars, it’s totally worth it.

Someone… I’m not going to say who… ANGELICA! :-p, got me hooked onto this lovely little cart. The Vanilla Crème Brûlée is sooooo good. I haven’t tried the other flavors yet, but I’m sure they are pretty tasty as well. The staff are always super friendly.
The next time I’m in the Westfield Shopping Centre, I will visit this little cart, and I just may venture away from the Vanilla and try a different flavor.
Thanks Angelica!!! I’m happy I took your advice!

The Crème Brulee Cart… hmmm you’ve been on my To Try list for the longest time, and when I finally got to try it, it wasn’t as heavenly as I had hoped.
I got the Cheesecake Crème Brulee. Although it definitely wasn’t bad, I find it way over the top sweet. I really couldn’t eat that tiny thing all by myself, but since I was alone and didn’t have anyone else to give it to, I tried to scarf it down, otherwise it would’ve been a waste.
Definitely worth it to try it once, but after that, I don’t see myself ever craving it.

I was excited to try their Crème Brulee since I had been hearing good things about them. Got a single vanilla bean to share with the hubby, though I wish I paid more attention to the flavors of the day. It was average in flavor and texture, and the caramelized sugar crust was a little thin. I feel like I could make a better one at home… I would still come by though to try the other flavors!

It was more than difficult to find it… And when I finally found it he ran out of classic vanilla flavor. I was beyond disappointed. Maybe I’ll give it another shot when I visit SF again. Maybe.

I love the crème brûlée cart because you can have this decadent dessert even when you’re not in a restaurant. They usually have vanilla and chocolate flavors, and one special flavor. I really like the lavender one. The only complaint I have is that the custard is cold. But otherwise, the crème brûlée is rich and creamy and the sugar is caramelized well since they use a blowtorch. For 4 bucks, this is such a treat!

Id never seen this cart out in the open so Im glad to see that they have a semi perm setup here. Guy gets to sit there in the open with a blowtorch. That in itself is sadistically cool. Got the Dulce de loco. Now Im actually not that huge of a fan of the brulee’d sugar that gives this dessert it’s namesake but the crème in the dulce was fantastic. A little on the small side but $ 5 you’re getting a good quality product.

Pros: Creamy, smooth and delicious, not overly sweet. Friendly stuff.
Cons: Too expensive, $ 6

(See pics) Review #1305. If you want something sweet other than kettle corn popcorn for movies, check out the crème brûlée cart that ‘s right outside Jamba Juice in the basement between the 2 malls. Also a good pickup if you are on your way home.
The crème brûlée here was alright. Seriously it’s not a difficult dessert to make but it’s convenient when you want one.

I was walking around Westfield with my boyfriend one day when we came across The Crème Brulee Cart. Since there wasn’t a line, we decided to share a Cheesecake Crème Brulee which was priced at $ 5. The friendly Crème Brulee man took the tiny tin foil out of a cooler, sprinkled some sugar on top of the cheesecake, and took out his handy dandy torch to create that delicious Cheesecake Crème Brulee!
Cheesecake Crème Brulee — The Crème Brulee man advised us to wait a while before we broke into the crispy topping. The cheesecake was creamy, moist, and was packed with decadent flavors. At $ 5, I was a bit disappointed with the size of the Crème Brulee.
I loved the first one so much that I had to try another one, this time we had Vanilla Bean and it was priced at $ 4.
Vanilla Bean Crème Brulee — I LOVED this one! It tasted more like a light whipped cream topping and wasn’t as heavy as the Cheesecake.
I’m giving The Crème Brulee Cart 4 stars. Yes the Cheesecake and Vanilla Bean Crème Brulees were good, but at $ 4 and $ 5, I would rather go elsewhere to spend $ 10 on dessert that will fill fully satisfy me hence the 1 star reduction. It’s nice to indulge in, though!

I heard great things about the Crème Brûlée truck from OTG go-​ers so when I saw their tiny cart in between Bristol Farms and some Brain store, I knew I had to try it!
There were only four types to choose from: a nutella variant that seemed very chocolatey, one with cheesecake, one with caramel, and but of course vanilla bean. My brother and I opted to share a vanilla bean crème brûlée just because the other ones just sounded too rich for our tastes. To say the least, it has a pleasant taste but I’ve had better. The texture was creamy but pudding-​like and the brûlée tasted more burned than sweet. Surprising since the worker torched our brûlée so quickly that by the time I took my wallet out from my purse, he was done.
While I was a bit disappointed with the quality of my brûlée I admire the idea of this cart.

Bottom line at the top: This cart only has three flavors. I would recommend trying to find the actual truck/​cart rather than coming to this location.

This location is very convenient because it’s located in the Westfield Mall. You’ll find it downstairs in between the Chipotle/​Panda Express and the main part of the food court (Beard Papa’s etc.)
When I went on Monday they had Vanilla Bean, Cheesecake, and a spicy chocolate I think? We went with vanilla bean. They kind of put on a performance when they torch it which it pretty cool. It was very rich and the consistency wasn’t all the way there. I usually eat dessert three times a day but I barely muster down half of this.
The guy working the cart was very nice though and they accept credit card through the square.
I would still try to find the truck so that I can try some of the crazier flavors.

I’m a sucker for crème brûlée.
I know it’s such a simple, cheap to make dessert, yet I just loved it so much I would pay $ 4 for a tiny one from the Crème Brulee Cart.
I must say, it’s definitely not worth it. I ordered a vanilla bean flavored, classic, can’t go wrong, if things do go wrong, then something’s wrong. No one’s lining up except me. I swear the guy torched my sugar so fast, I didn’t have time to take a picture for Instagram. Here’s the final product:
. Turns out only 10% of the surface was brown. The point of a crème brûlée is that burnt sugar on top, I might as well just buy a pack of 4 vanilla pudding if I care more about the taste. I was pretty darn sad and disappointed. For $ 2 more, I can enjoy a better, bigger crème brûlée with REAL burnt sugar greater than 10% of the area at a restaurant. I hate myself for wanting to devour whatever I see in front of me.
Flavors are definitely there, a tat sweet but still doable. If you don’t care about the burnt sugar, I guess you can go splurge your $ 4 or $ 5 on their crème brulees. I’ve seen them on the top floor, next to La Boulange du Dome and bottom floor, in front of Bristol Farms.

What a great idea this little cart is!
If anyone loves crème brûlée like I do, than I am sure you will enjoy this little sweet cart from heaven!
Located in the midst of the Westfield mall, which I believe may rotate around to different areas with in the mall (I’m not quite sure)
It’s quite simple with only 3 flavors to choose from and those flavors were of course, regular Vanilla bean crème brûlée, chocolate and I believe a caramel one (at least those were the options that night)
I chose just the Vanilla bean for $ 4.00, which I found to be quite reasonable because of its convenientsy, and come to find out, stellar quality. The custard is pre made. They then sprinkle the sugar over it and whip out the torch to create the hard caramelized crust which ended up looking oh, so good! And oh so good it was! Small in portion but big in flavor! Custard was nice, rich and creamy, all enclosed within a hard, sweet, caramelized crust, sending my taste buds to a sweet custardy heaven! Yum!
Service was ok, but my little crème from heaven, was anything but :)
I look forward to my next sweet encounter!

I’d be lying if I said that the crème brulees weren’t overpriced, but hey, we can all spare an extra dollar or two to support something that’s neat and delicious, right? And it’s not like you eat these things every day (although if I lived in the city, maybe I would…). A $ 5 indulgence on these little creamy custards once in awhile won’t kill your wallet or your waist. At least, that’s *my* philosophy!
My favorite flavor so far is still the standard vanilla. You absolutely cannot go wrong with it. The vanilla bean permeates the entire custard, which is thick and eggy, and the caramelized top is (usually) not burnt and holds well under spoon-​tapping pressure – the mark of a good CB. The guy heading up the cart and torching was friendly enough, although he seemed bored out of his mind and may possibly have hated his job. It’s the holidays, man! Show some more enthusiasm!
