Can I eat only a crème brûlée in Paris?

I'd like to have a crème brûlée in Paris, but without having to eat a whole meal at a restaurant.
However, this seems quite hard to get:
- Bakeries and patisseries do not sell crème brûlée (at least none that I could find);
- Restaurants only sell them as desserts, and it is not clear if you can just walk in, order the dessert only, eat and then leave;
- Cafés seem to sell them, but mostly as desserts, and not in brunches, nor for breakfast, so while it seems the better choice, it's still not clear whether they do sell them "on their own".
Could someone with some Parisian experience confirm whether it is possible to simply have a crème brûlée, or if it exists only as part of a complete meal?

Except for upper class restaurants serving only fixed multi-course menues, I have never (neither in France nor anywhere else) experienced a restaurant, where you could not only order a part of what is considered a complete meal.
It might be an unusual request, but I would simply go into any restaurant you like and order a crème brûlée and a nice glass of wine or a coffee to go with it.

Not sure if this is customary in France, but you might tell the maître d'hôtel when you go in that you are only having dessert. This may help you get more useful service (e.g. no unnecessary menus), and knowing that you'll be there a shorter time may help them plan.

I suggest looking at the Brasseries (Bonfinger, Julien, La Coupole ... ).
They will all have Crème Brulée.
As Nate wrote, just go in and tell them you are there for desert only (desert, coffee, digestif).
BTW, I'm surprise that patisseries in Paris do not sell single portions Crème Brulée.
