2.5 oz Saaz leaf hops  10 mins

2 pkgs Calif. ale White Labs WLP001

Any comments would be appreciated and advise too

Cream ales are considered hybrids, usually fairly clean and simple, and often made with adjuncts like corn to lighten the body.

All that MO, plus the carafoam plus the honey malt will make this fairly heavy for a cream ale.  At the least, I'd recommend cutting way back on the honey malt; that stuff is strong.
