Beard Papa's

This place has some very delicious and simple cream filled and puff pantries. The fill them when ordered and they don't skimp on the cream either and that important.

Cream filling is the besttttt!!!! Friendly staff. Update 9/13/17, upcoming promo for a limited time. See pic. Also I had the hazelnut cream filling with honey butter puff. Soooo yummy. It's like a chocolate tasting filling.

Cream Puff Power!!! This is the best place to get cream puffs. I would recommend checking their menu online to discover what amazing flavors will be offered that day. Today I was lucky enough to snag rose cream into my original cream puff and oh my, it is YUMMY! The employees are friendly and fill the puffs perfectly. I will return soon. Thanks Beard Papa.

This is my favorite dessert place ever, the texture of the puff and the cream filling is so incredible, makes me happy every time. Vanilla mini puffs are my #1. These are the pinnacle of custard desserts, culinary perfection in every single heavenly bite.

These Japanese puffs are so good! Al thought definitely overprice. It’s almost $5 for 1 😱

Some of the best cream puffs can be found at Beard Papa's. They have a few locations around town and all taste the same. Free parking here though! I like the green tea cream puff; all of them are made on the spot, not pre-made.

Jose and the other female worker were very pleasant, place was really clean and organized. Fully stocked had every flavor..I don't know what those bad "reviewers" are talking about.... probably...... just Karen's and chads....I mean who gets Uber angry over cream puffs??? Plus who goes to a place 30 minutes before closing time and complains about a lack of product.......answer= Karen's and chads

Awesome cream puffs from Beard Papas. Not super sweet at all which is great. I like the strawberry and the cookie cream puff. They don't keep very well though-best eaten the same day. I wasn't especially impressed with the few things I tried from Mousse Fantasy but they weren't bad. The top level of the parking lot of the shopping center they are in is not a great place to park. It can get super crowded at night especially. People try to squeeze into parking spots and park every which way. I've gotten dents in my doors and gotten blocked in a number of times. Better to use the underground parking.

I was absolutely thrilled to discover several hidden secrets in LA that serve pastries without being overly sweet! Their cream puffs strike the perfect balance of sweetness and are incredibly delicious. I accidentally ended up ordering the largest ones—a combo of chocolate and vanilla cream. They’re beyond amazing, but I have to say, the vanilla cream puff is an absolute must-try! Now I am going to stop here because just thinking about them and they’re making my mouth water! 😋

Beard Papa is always a good idea, and I am not even a cream puff person. But the chocolate eclair cream puff is absolute perfection, and the fillings are light and *not too sweet*. The Vietnamese coffee filling flavor is the best, but seasonal. If unavailable, I usually get the vanilla or green tea filling. Service is always efficient! (@roaming.eater)

Came here for the Yelp Elite that let you choose two puffs for free. Excellent food and service! We ordered honey butter shell + vanilla and I think that’s the OG! Green tea and ube is also good but just a bit sweeter than I like. Overall highly recommend Beard Papa that gives me dessert fix!

Puff puff pastry you are so yummy! It was my first time, I fell in love at first bite. How wonderful you made me feel, so soft inside. The green tea flavor satisfied my taste buds. Oh I'm a fan now!

Great place to get puffs. Love the combination and the fact they make them when you order which keeps them fresh for you. We did the special, “buy 5, get the 6th free”. I do think it’s a little pricey but some are worth the price. Didn’t like the churro topping. Liked the matcha and Oreo. Would definitely go back again.

Delicious!! I LOVE the Original Cream Puffs they have there because the vanilla filling inside makes the original crust taste so fresh. So so good, strongly recommended :)

This place is so good! Tried the plain vanilla, creamer brûlée and bananas fosters. All really tasty. Good sized creek puff. If you’re watching your figure, big enough to share and if you’re just living life, it’s a perfect treat for one!

This is my favorite dessert place in Sawtelle. I like that I can choose the combination of fillings and shells. They have various kinds of both shells and fillings. My best choice is the oreo cookie shell or cream brulee with caramel filling. If you put them in the fridge, the cream begins melting, making the shell soggy. BUT, if you put them in the freezer, they will last longer without being soggy. And they taste even better like an ice cream. The staffs are always friendly and nice too!

Great cream puffs! They hold well in the refrigerator overnight. They have many flavors, but I went with the original vanilla custard.

Light and creamy I was satisfied with one big cream puff and didn’t feel gross after eating it because it wasn’t super sweet or rich. Staff is professional and you can choose what you want for the puff and what flavor cream. Go get one if you’re in the area.

Tasty cream puff Japanese desserts. I love the matcha shells with matcha filling, so yummy! The fondant tastes great as well.

Tasty cream puff Japanese desserts. I love the matcha shells with matcha filling, so yummy! The fondant tastes great as well.

It could have been fresher, I’ve had cream puffs from Bears Papas that were hotter and crispier, but the interior was clean and the service was nice.

tried an original/plain puff with vanilla, it was fine. the long crunchy almond with apple whipped is AMAZING! definitely recommend

These are damn tasty puffs, and they’re filled with cream to-order. I have compassion for the employees as they do seem overworked and underpaid.

Beard Papa has some tasty cream puffs! The puffs are pretty large -- about the size of a baseball, and you can get vanilla, green tea, or hazelnut filling. The shell is perfectly flaky and slightly crispy! They also have an assortment of other pastries as well as a small selection of teas and coffees. Simple but great!

This comment is strictly due to personal preference… I’m not a huge cream person so when I originally ordered it, it was too much cream 🫤. Second time I went back, I asked for half the amount and it was PERFECTO 🤌. Definitely recommend anyone to do that if you’re weird like me 😆 PS my favorite is Oreo and Strawberry

After passing by many times, we decided to try Beard Papa's. We got the mini puffs and the cheesecake stick. The puffs were pretty good, easy to eat and perfect portion of buttery and sweet. Cheesecake was average, but maybe other flavors are better. Definitely coming back to try again.

Some of the best eclairs you'll have! My brothers love these so much and with good reason. Service is quick and they fill them up fresh with your choice of cream. They do this so they won't get soggy overtime. Thus, it's best to eat them pretty quickly within a few hours. We got an assortment of shelled eclairs with the "buy 5 and get the 6th one free" deal. My favorite is probably the Strawberry Shortcake or the Oreo. Their classic vanilla cream is so good too and is a favorite for a reason! The green tea filling is tasty as well, but a bit messy! Definitely take extra napkins for these!! Overall, great eclairs with good variety to choose from!

Couldn't resist. These looked delicious when I passed by so I had to try them. First you choose the " "shell" which is the puff and its choices of icing ( green tea, chocolate etc ) You then choose the filing which they only put once you order. I used the kiosk in the front to order and pay which was convenient. The staff was friendly and informative. The cream puff I got was the banana brulé. They even torched it to caramelize the sugar on top. Had some bananas also. Pretty tasty and creamy. The place was clean. No dine in tables available yet. Parking was adequate although I'm not sure how it is on the busy hours.

Not exactly the most lively individual that served me here. The cream puff itself was good, a little bit more dry and crumbly than I usually like. With that being said I got the Vietnamese coffee filling which I thought was excellent. You are able to customize them a little bit by choosing a shell and filling so they are filled to order.

Cream puffs filled with your chosen of Vanilla chocolate or Strawberry. Lots of different options and flavors. Not as sweet as American or European cream puffs.

Cookie & Cream Puff I think Beard Papa has a pretty good reputation for their goodies🤤 This cookie & Cream was yummy as well. But, I enjoyed their original custard flavour more. 不過都係日本果個抹茶味最正！ - More pictures on IG @OneMoreBite_N

Tried Beard Papa’s, and I’m on the fence. The cream custard is tasty with a good texture, but the puff pastry was too thick and not as delicate as it should be—not very flavorful either. Worth trying once if you’re really craving a dessert pastry, but not something I’d go back for.

The cream puffs are pretty good, but they are a bit pricey. Also, the line moves very slowly, almost painfully slow. The cream puffs are freshly made, but the chocolate on the eclairs have no taste, lacks chocolate flavor. I thought the strawberry cream filled regular was probably the best tasting amongst a dozen different puffs that I got. The parking in front of the store is tight, and the attendant tells people to park downstairs. No frequent buyer card, like buy 12, and you get 1 free. What happened to the baker's dozen?

Went here last night (12/18) and the guy working there was unfriendly and sort of demanded for a tip. The sugar on the creme brûlée cream puff I got also did not harden so it’s a soggy mess. I used to like this place but would not come back, there are just so many cream puff options.

I’ve been to a couple other locations before in CA and WA, but this one was disappointing. The girl was sweet and the churro cream puff filled with matcha tasted alright, but the size was minuscule and way smaller than what I’ve had before. The shop also smelled like a clinic as we could smell bleach (which is a good thing— they are staying clean, but it throws you off and made me feel weird!).

Very bad service attitude. the order has been completed for 15 minutes but did not call the customer to receive, we had to wait until we asked to take it.

They are definitely unfriendly, stingy and rude. I always knew it and didn't care. Today my son wanted to get a cream puff so I bought 3 of them which they charge you $5 each and ask for a tip as well! I asked this super rude woman if they have plates so my son can have it in the car and she said no. I asked if she can give a small box so he uses it as a plate. She goes oh you don't get a box unless you buy 4 or more. I will charge you for the box if you want it. Well lady! Here is the news! I will but cream puffs from another place! Yours is not unique anyway!

Went last night at 9pm with 3 friends who had never been .They only had 3 filling flavors ( vanilla, eru, and I think green tea) but no chocolate! They were out of all flavors of puffs ( only plain). Didn’t have anything I wanted. Place was dirty, messy and they had stools blocking 3/4 of the place so people were smashed in together with no room to move. Horrible experience. It began from nothing to choose from, unfriendly associates ( 2 of them), dirty, messy location. . They screwed up my order . Plus, what made it worse was that I had to get $65 ( 19 cream puffs) of plain with vanilla ( and all I wanted was chocolate! Will never go back to this horrible location ! Beard Papa’s you can do better than this! Truly disappointing!

Cancelled my order for 3rd time in a row. Horrible

The server gave us the wrong eclairs, we ordered Vietnamese coffee and they gave us chocolate. When we told them we got the wrong flavor, the worker said, "no it's coffee, it's just Vietnamese coffee." as if we don't know the difference between chocolate and coffee!! Also they were incredibly slow when switching out our order. And the eclairs were barely edible. Don't come here unless you want to deal with slow, rude service workers and eat below average desserts.

This place is a scam. I paid for caramel filling and I got vanilla filling that tastes like vanilla. I’ll dispute with my bank.
