For me, Beard Papa’s is about the filling - the puff itself is nothing special. I got a plain shell with vanilla cream and matcha shell with matcha filling. Each puff was completely filled to the brim with delicious cream. The vanilla cream was tasty but ultimately the matcha was my favorite, with very strong matcha flavors coming through throughout. Matcha shell complemented it nicely too, though the matcha there tasted slightly more artificial - you can never have too much matcha!
Love these puffs. They are amazing. Crème brûlée is my new favorite.
Lovely puff which is filled with choice of cream at time of ordering. It's not fresh whipped cream but still nice.
Great dessert and snack location if your in the area. We ordered the original and cookie crust with vanilla. Both delicious! You get that nice light pastry with creamy cool filling on the inside. I like how the puffs are pretty large and they put a heavy amount of filling into them. Seating can be tight inside, but there is a park about a block away. I'll be back to try their other puffs and desserts.
The regular vanilla custard cream puff is their flagship item and the one you can't miss. Their other items are creative and pretty good too but not as addictive. Their cream puffs taste best freshly made or at least the same day. Ordering is pretty quick even if there is a line.
This place is excellent. The few times I've been here never involved me waiting in long lines and I don't know why when the cream puffs are absolutely delicious. There's different, gigantic cream puffs in different flavors. I love it! This is a good place to go when craving something sweet at a decent price. My favorite is the cookie crumbled crunch topping cream puff. Check it out!
The cream puffs here are great. Good crispy shell and a delicious filling. I usually stick to the vanilla but the green tea and chocolate are pretty good too. Skip the other desserts like the cheesecake bar and cake they're only okay.
Cream puffs are fresh and flakey. The cream flavor of your choice is added to the puff right when you order it. I had the coffee cream filling and it was very good. Not overly coffee flavored but still strong enough to know what it was with a nice balance of sweet and coffee.
Probably the best cream puff you will ever have in your life. The bread stuff is baked fresh, and their custard is amazing. They are quite pricey, but definitely worth it for a little treat. Not something I would buy everyday obviously, but whenever i pass by the temptation is there.
Every time I've come here, I've always only gotten the vanilla or chocolate cream puffs, and I loved it. You order in the front, and they yell out the name of the food when your order is ready. These are some legitimate cream puffs, the bread part is crispy, and the cream is sweet, but not too sweet. I definitely recommend Beard Papa's if you're ever in the West Field shopping mall!
