Flan King

Gregs classic flan is AMAZING! Being from Miami and married into a Cuban family, I’ve had my share of flan. And The classic flan is up there with the best I’ve had! It’s the perfect consistency and the taste is just the right amount of sweet. Def. something I’ll want every time I’m in LA.

Very delicious dessert! The taste «classic» is my favorite! Highly recommended!
Greg is a great master chef. Thanks for making flan with love!

Great dessert from the master chef Greg!
I highly recommend flan. I tried banana, sweet potato and classic. They were all excellent, but lean towards classic taste.
Mmmmmmm…

Flan is an open pastry or sponge cake containing a sweet or savory filling. A typical flan of this sort is round, with short crust pastry. Usually coated with sweet syrup. It is similar to a custard tart or a South African melktert. Thanks Wikipedia!
Anyways — let’s start with me saying — I DON’T LIKE FLAN! This I swear, good luck EVER getting me to even sample the tiniest bite, won’t happen! This has always been the case yet a couple of years ago I was given an individual size Classic flan from Flan King and after letting it sit in the refrigerator for hours I reluctantly decided to give it a try. I spooned only the tiny tiniest bit out and really liked it!
I thought it’d be a nice treat to have on Cinco de Mayo so I gave them a buzz to inquire where in Hollywood they were located and got to chatting with Greg (who is beyond fab! and also happens to know just about everyone I work with and has for nearly 20 years). Any how one thing turned into another and Greg swung by my office the next morning to deliver a Large Classic Flan ($ 30)
We had to guard the thing we our lives, that’s how much people love them!
I’ve got to give Flan King 5 Stars for a couple of very simple and clear-​cut reasons 1. I DON’T like Flan and I REALLY like this Flan :) so much so that I’ll order it again and again and I’m absolutely certain I’ll never try another because I don’t like flan. 2. Greg is such an awesome guy and customer service is Top Notch!
If you’ve gathered anything from this review, I surely hope it’s that I don’t like flan and I like this flan, if that makes any sense at all.
These make an excellent dessert option if you are thinking a little outside of the typical ice-​cream, cake, cupcakes, cookies thing and I highly recommend Flan King even to those who don’t like flan ;)

This place is FLAN-​tastic. I had a FLANderful time ordering their delicious FLAN flavored FLAN. You get everything you need, all in FLAN place! It’s FLAN in a million!
Come FLAN, come ALL! Every cloud has a silver FLAN! Every FLAN has its day! A FLAN in time saves nine! Aaaaanyway, you can’t find better FLAN than here at FLAN King. Sky Ferreira orders from here all the time. You’re not the FLAAAA-​AA-​AA-​AA-​AAAAN! I also once saw, on Halloween, a woman dressed as both Daria AND Sherlock Holmes eat a FLAN so delicious that she became DAR-​lock Holmes! Staaaaaaaaaaaap!

Flan King is so random but its amazing. Tasted 4 different flavors and they all ranged from really good to «damn this is the best flan I’ve ever had»
Banana one is my favorite. it has a pudding type texture but a flan taste. so good!
I will definitely be ordering more in the future!

My grandma had major surgery a few weeks ago and she’s on a soft food diet while she recovers. The soup and jello was getting pretty old and sad so I decided to order some flan from Flan King. He called me back quickly and we arranged a pick-​up. Easy and simple!
When my beautiful grandma took her first big lovin’ spoonful of that creamy goodness, a sparkle came back into her eyes. She was so happy we found a «perfect» flan! The Classic was exactly what she was craving, rich and sweet and thick.
We’re so grateful the King helped us out and put a huge smile on my grandma’s face!

For his birthday, my husband requested ‘banana trifle and a flan cake’; neither of which I had ever made. With two days to fill his request, I found Flan King here on Unilocal with amazing reviews, left a desperate message and hoped for the best. Greg called me back within the hour with a variety of options and flavors to meet my needs. Later that afternoon I met Greg in Hollywood to pick up the flan, and this morning I surprised my hubby at work with his birthday flan (and homemade trifle, of course). The surprise was a success, the flan was loved by the whole office and I am a hero, all thanks to the Flan King! Then I tried the personal banana flan Greg tossed in for me… amazing! I am not a flan-​lover, but Flan King has a thicker consistency comparable to crème brûlée, and it is delicious. Overall, a wonderful experience, I will definitely purchase again!

I fell in love with flan king a few years ago from the farmer’s market at the downtown library. They stopped going there and I found them again at the farmer’s market in echo park and I just can’t get enough of any of the flavors. Marble and sweet potato are my favorites but I love all of them! The richness and flavor of these flans will get you hooked instantly so try it with caution ’cause you will definitely get addicted!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!! did i say AWESOME?
truly a unique type of flan… and a total crowd please for pot luck dinners ;)
LOVE the banana flan!

I ordered the Classic Flan, and it was AMAZING! I sampled the Marble Flan, and it was good, but I’m not a huge fan of chocolate. The two ladies behind the table were incredibly sweet too! Definitely made up for the rude bitch that sells jam a couple tables down. I’ll be going back Sunday, just so I can find out the name of her company and destroy her on help.
Who’s rude on a Sunday anyway?! Geeezus!

Flan… made with love, and little bit of panache. I recommend the traditional flan… and you can buy as a gift for the holidays! Totally great flan… check it out at the Larchmont Farmer’s Market.

I had a sample at the Larchmont Farmers Market. From there I bought the regular flan. It was really tasty and creamy. Not too sweet, it was just right. The owner said he receives orders online, which is great if you don’t have time and know where he will be at. Plus he also gives you a discount coupon to apply to new orders.

I would like to thank Flan King for making the best Flan in Los Angeles. The texture and sweetness of their product is just perfect for my taste. If you want a dessert that is sweet and delicious then you got to try this. I always get mine on Friday at Echo Park and Sunset blvd and on Sunday at Larchmont and Melrose.

As I sit here and eat my Banana Flan I thank the FLAN KING for being true to his title… This is HEAVEN!!.

Awesome, awesome flan… tried the regular and the sweet potato at the Culver City farmer’s market. Dense and not too sweet, I’ll be back!

Flan King, really? That’s what i said till i tried some of this Flan. He calls himself the Flan King, so you know i had to try it. Call me picky but i don’t just eat any Flan… if it’s not made right, it gets no love from me. What can i say, this Flan is really, really good! It’s hard to find good Flan out there, but he definitely knows what he’s doing, i stand corrected. Great Job…
Honorable Mention: Banana Flan

Is this stuff good for you? Proooobbbbaaalllyyy not. BUT IT’S FINE, the servings are small (but fulfilling) so it doesn’t matter!
I found FlanKing and Greg (the owner) at the Larchmont Farmers Market, he’s a great hardworking guy. I’m eating his flan as I type this and it’s really freakin’ awesome. It’s thicker than what I’m used to since my grandma used to make this for every family party, but i think I like it this way.
Super flavorful and pretty cheap for the quality of product that you get. Pure satisfaction in a cute tin cup. I brought home the original/​plain… but he has about 5 other flavors i think.
Support this guy, it’s a good thing for LA.

FLAN-​tastic!
I really can’t believe no one has said that one yet. I mean, that’s the only Flan related pun I abuse.
Who doesn’t like Flan? Besides being a delicious Mexican dessert it’s also really fun to say Flan, Flllaaaaaaaaaan, fffffffffffFlan! Say it out loud a couple of times and you’ll see how awesome it is to say.
So walking by this booth during Art Walk I saw the board that said «Best flan! don’t believe me — read these Unilocal reviews» with printed reviews under it. That sort of sealed it for me.
Well, that and the possibility that this review itself will potentially be on the board for future sales pitches. How meta would that be? A review on the board of reviews within the review (did I blow your mind?).
The flan. is amazing. Freaking Amazing. While I normally like saying Flan when I see it on the dinner menu, I thought that I had eaten more than my fair share of Flan in my upbringing that I never really felt the need to get more of it. After trying the Flan King’s, I want more and I want it now.
Tasty on all levels. The little foil container it comes in is also cute. You really can’t go wrong with this chilled flan that sort of just melts away when you dig your spoon into it. The price is pretty good for something this rich and creamy.
If you’re lucky enough to cross paths with the Flan King, bow down and pay your respects to royalty and you may enjoy some delicious dessert.

Very nice staff at the LAMC (Kaiser) farmer’s market. I passed this booth up for a couple months and then finally taste tested their infamous flan.
Creamy and smooth, just the way I love my flan. Not many people can make it this way. Most taste like creamy jello, but you won’t get that here. My roomie said she never liked flan, but I convinced her that this was probably unlike any flan she has had before. No kidding, she ate half of a flan I brought home and asked me to buy another.
BAD for your health (calories galore) but OH SO GOOD!
Keep it Yummy Flan King. We will meet again if I have my way…
