    Food stall
    Denise K.

    So I had their little egg pastries at the Japanese Festival in Costa Mesa. They have a food stall and there was a very long line. I waited for almost 45 mins to get these baby Castella nuggets. It was pretty good. Not too sweet and very spongy. But I felt it need to cook just a little more. They have 5 flavors but I got the custard one. It's made fresh so that was nice. I got it for $10 for 15 PCs not sure if that was the festival price or normally this is how much they charge. But give it a try it's quite yummy.

    We were in the area when I thought of stopping in for dessert. Beard Papa is the only place open…read morelate in the food court of Tokyo Central. They are open 10am to 8pm, daily. I ordered an original with vanilla filling. The pricing has remained the same but the size of the puff appears to be smaller. They used to be presented in a cardboard food "boat," like the ones used for French fries. Now the cream puffs are served in a larger size cupcake liner. Hmmmm. There was a steady stream of customers while we were there. Ok, bye.

    Beard Papa's in Gardena is inside Tokyo Central, and you'll find it as you walk in on the right…read more It's a tiny little bakery corner with fresh cream puffs made in-house, which is awesome. They do have some really good cream puff flavors, the vanilla cream is my go-to, and my kids love the chocolate. The customer service needs some work. Every single time I've been there, it kind of feels like the staff is just not thrilled to help, and that vibe definitely takes away from the experience. I keep coming back because the cream puffs are delicious, but I really wish they'd at least crack a smile or make you feel a bit more welcome. I did see a fly on a cream puff once, and while they did toss it out after I pointed it out, it'd be great if they covered the pastries so that doesn't happen. And be prepared to wait a bit because they fill the puffs to order, which is nice for freshness but can slow things down.
