Beard Papa's

I got mango, chocolate, and vanilla. To me , chocolate was meh, it can be better. I had lots of hope in the mango flavor when I saw it, and especially "limited weekend only" sign made it extra special... I was so disappointed with my first bite. It tasted like raw / unripe mango. No good. Not smooth. They should have used ripe yellow manila mango, even for a higher price. Vanilla flavor was the best of all. I also like their cookie crunch puff because it was freshly baked , so it tasted great. Not too sweet either, and crunchy on top. If you go here, recommend to stick with vanilla flavor and cookie crunch if you like.

Always clean inside with courteous staff. We check in often for the rotating flavor of the week :) recently tried the mini ones and I think I like those more due to higher ratio of choux vs cream filling. I also love the mini puffs frozen! Cookie shell is quite tasty, but I'm also happy with the plain ones.

This Japanese cream puffs chain store offers solid cream puffs. The Pasteur shells are freshly baked on site, light and flaky. The creamy custard is filled after the order and every day features different flavor of the day with chocolate and vanilla as the basic staples. Strawberry and cookie and cream are our favorites.

Ok so this is a review of Beard Papa’s Cream puffs. I invited a few friends over this weekend for a BBQ. A childhood friend of mine who just moved back to the Bay Area from New York brought dessert. He stopped by Beard Papa’s and picked up 8 beautiful Cream puffs. He said that they had 3 different flavor fillings, Vanilla, crème brûlée and Green tea. He opted for the Vanilla and crème brûlée. All the puffs are made fresh and the fillings are pumped in. The box the puffs come in puts a smile on my face (see pics) all the puffs are individually put to bed in an envelope style wrapping. Now for the good part, the puffs pastry’s are simply beautiful, light, airy and perfectly baked. (Flavor was probably the best I’ve had) the Vanilla cream though perfectly executed in consistency lacked the vanilla flavor I was so wanted to experience. The crème brûlée filling is the same vanilla filling pumped in with a small pocket of the crème brûlée filling underneath. The flavor of the crème brûlée is amazing but I didn’t get it in every bite unfortunately. What I got was an occasional flavor of crème brûlée with an over whelming amount of their vanilla filling.
