    I didn't know there was a beard papas at this location and so I decided to try it out and see if it was as good as I remembered from the Irvine location. I had gotten the mini pack with 2 fillings. I got half vanilla and half cookies and cream. Total was only $8 and a couple of cents which isn't bad for 6 mini cream puffs. For 1 giant cream puff it's nearly $6 already and it's huge which I can't fit in my mouth

    10/30/25 Ube Fondant [Lava Cake]  GET THIS!!

    10/30/25 Cute (clean & tiny) place at the shops in the corner of South Street & 183rd (I think?) serving up cream puffs that are out of this world! Great service, too! We just had an amazing meal a Peruvian a few doors down & wanted to grab a quick dessert. I've never had Beard Papa's so we tried a few cream puffs, got the minis, 3 vanilla, 3 chocolate- oh so good with the crispy out layer & creamy filling. I loved the vanilla more than the chocolate. Also took home 1 ube fondant (lava) cake for later. It's been sitting in our fridge for 4 days & I decided to finally take the plunge. It's small for (see photo) $8.50 but, boy, did it surprise me!! Popped it in the microwave for 25 seconds & I thought it was going to be "meh". When I stuck a fork in it & out oozed this luscious, deep purple ooey gooey goodness.... WowZaH!!! Magical! It was devilishly decadent but light & delicious!!! Was it worth it? Absolutely--- if you're gonna splurge every once in a while. Will I order it again? You betcha!

    Yup officially addicted, I think I like this way better than donuts.....in my opinion. Very tiny spot across from knead lol. Luckily it's never busy when we come in. Good service....including the bakers in the back.

    These were delicious. It was my first time ever trying these and let me tell you, the melted in my mouth. I got a cookies and cream one and also a Dubai one. Both were tasty and were the perfect texture on the inside and outside. Service was great, the lady who helped me was very kind and its pretty small inside, no seating or anything just a grab n go kind of place.

    This is the second time this place got my order wrong. I paid extra for ube filling and I got vanilla custard for both puffs. Very disappointed.

    Beard Papa's in Cerritos is hands down one of my favorite dessert spots. After years of always driving out to the one in Gardena and finding out there is a Cerritos location local to me I had to stop on by and it did NOT disappoint. The cream puff was made fresh to order, so the shell was perfectly light with a pleasant crunch, with different fillings you can choose from and if you're a fan of lighter cream you can definitely ask for 1 pump instead! They also had a great selection of other flavors, which made it hard to choose. The classic vanilla custard is always a safe go-to--rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The chocolate custard was deep and not overly sweet, and the matcha had a nice earthy flavor that wasn't bitter at all. I also love that you can choose different shells, like the original, or chocolate flavors and other seasonal flavors (Our personal favorite is the Strawberry and the Monster Hunter Wilds Cola flavor collab!) The staff was friendly and efficient, even with a line, and the store was clean and well organized. You can tell they take pride in making everything fresh because nothing tasted soggy or rushed. Beard Papa's does an awesome job with seasonal flavors and collabs, and the Cerritos location consistently delivers, it really drives home the same great flavor as the same Beard Papa's back in Japan! If you're a dessert fan or just want something different, this place is 100% worth stopping by. Whether you're there to get a set for yourself or a pack of 6 to share, it's a great sweet treat gift to bring to parties! I'll definitely be back for future collabs and flavors.

    This is such a cute place. I know some people who are absolutely dedicated to cream puffs I found out about this place and had to try it. I ended up going at an odd hour. Nobody was there. One other person came in after me. So I had the staffs full attention. They were asking me how my day was and explaining the flavors and giving me their recommendations. They honestly seemed extremely knowledgeable and so friendly. It's always great when you have hardworking staff like that working for you. I ended up getting a couple different flavors and a regular filled cream puff. Ok, so here's the thing. For desserts, the sweeter the better. These were not very sweet, but I loved the flavor! Plus my mom is one of those die hard fans for any type of puff pastry/ cream puffs. So I'm actually thrilled this place opened. They do have close up parking and everything was a breeze They also always seem to be having deals going on like if you buy so many it's a certain price. So you end up saving a couple dollars

    Cream Puffs meets Mashle.

    We found ourselves here due to a collab with Mashle anime. There is no dining space and is strictly a take-out shop. All that being said, it's super cute and adequately decorated for the current collaboration. The server is welcoming, helpful and enthusiastic about the items presented and sold. And the fact that the items are stocked and available is a huge point because we've been to many collabs where things are "sold-out" or just simply unavailable. If you're a cream puffs person, I highly recommend trying this place out. The presentation of the puffs is appealing--they're cutely packaged and colorful. I feel like you can't go wrong with the option of vanilla or chocolate pudding. It's all pretty darn good. It's located in a busy Cerritos complex with plenty of parking. Try to come during non rush hour times for a smoother experience.

    The good: easy to order and lots of options. The fillings are filled on the spot and you can see the one person working doing all this. This is super lowkey casual spot but THERE ARE NO SEATS whatsoever here - so you just order and take it elsewhere to eat.

    I finally stopped by Beard Papa's the other day and my experience was wonderful! The infamous Crumble Cookies is located right across the shopping plaza and although I've been curious about those controversial cookies, I went with my gut feeling and decided on Beard Papa's as I've been dying to try a good cream puff. I ordered the chocolate fondant and Oreo Puff for myself while my boyfriend opted for a vanilla custard pudding. When we arrived there were a few people in line paying for their pastries. There isn't any seating available and the pastry shop is quaint so this is strictly a grab and go kind of place. The service here was good as the young girl behind the counter helped us out pretty quickly. The chocolate fondant is ultimately a mini chocolate lava cake and the cashier recommended me to microwave it for about 15-20 seconds. It's safe to say it was pretty good. It reminded me of the chocolate lava cakes from Domino's but fluffier. My boyfriend ended up giving me his vanilla custard pudding and it was also quite good. It tasted like a vanilla gelatin with a hint of coffee. The star of the show was most definitely the Oreo Cream Puff. I had the choice of vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate custard filling inside the puff and I opted for chocolate. I hands down give that pastry a 10/10 and wish I ordered a few more as I demolished my Oreo Puff immediately. Overall, I recommend Beard Papa's to anyone with a sweet tooth looking to try something different. Get the Oreo Cream Puff, you won't be disappointed.

    The filled-to-order cream puffs here are light, fluffy, and sweetly satisfying. I recently tried them for the first time, and there were some tasty options. Browsing the available flavors, I saw the "Buy Six and get $3 Off" sign and had to go for it. I picked up a couple of the new flavors of the month. The decadent Purple Ube Oreo Puff for Halloween, with cookies and cream filling, hit the sweet tooth nicely. The cute Gudetama Puff with vanilla filling was just okay for the price ($5). I also got the Original, Strawberry Crumble, and Matcha Cream Puffs. All were delicious in their own way, and some were enjoyed more than others. They aren't overly sweet, so try a few out and find your favorites. Some flavors and fillings rotate regularly or monthly, and I've noticed that the website sometimes doesn't show the latest flavors. You'll have to visit the store to see what's available for the day or follow their social media. Although the price is premium, it's more of a nice occasional treat, but the monthly deals make coming back more enticing. The staff was kind and got me on my way in no time. Although small in space with no seating, the store is clean and inviting with fun decor. The menu and display of the cream puffs were easily viewable. They only accept cashless payments.

    We had dinner on the area and I wanted a treat so we stopped here. Holy cow are they delicious! Pretty large serving so worth every penny. The service is quick and I loved the in and out of the location. It's not really a dine in spot. Will be back!

    Gudetama Puff - vanilla frosted top, apricot "yolk," and plain cream filling. Adorable and yummy!

My friend is a frequent customer at this location and we both like to come for drinks and studying. This time however, they came alone with their laptop and were working for 20 minutes max before an employee (seems to be a shift lead or manager) came up to them asking if anything had been ordered. My friend replied "no not yet," and the worker proceeded to say the tables were for customers only and walk away before they could say anything else. They were approached a SECOND time by another staff member only 10 minutes after the first, who asked the SAME thing. This time my friend was able to respond that they were actually waiting for me to arrive. The first worker then STARED at them for the next 30 minutes, making them insanely uncomfortable until I arrived. My friend was one of the only brown skin people in the cafe...horrifically rude. What a horrible way to treat a person, let alone a regular customer. And what a waste of time, staring at a customer instead of doing your job...We both had interacted with this employee and ordered with them several times in the past, so it's crazy they couldn't remember any of it. Never returning, all of our classmates and family have been warned and now you have too.

Parking: They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a parking spot can be difficult. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating. The tables and seats were kept clean. There's cute decor from the ceiling as well. This is the type of spot where you'd bring your family with younger kids for something sweet, while the adults sit and talk. When we visited, my family and one other family pretty much took up all the tables lol. Service: There was only one worker behind the counter serving and making the drinks and desserts. She doesn't acknowledge anyone. It wasn't too busy, but throughput took a while since she was by herself. There's two kiosk to order from. You don't really interact with the worker until she brings out your order. Desserts & drinks: We ordered a mixture of almost everything. We noticed there were a few menu items that were out of stock. I ordered a mango pamelo sago, my sister ordered a brown sugar boba milk tea, my cousin ordered an americano, and my other cousin ordered a strawberry & cream eggette. I thought the mango pamelo sago was okay; the mango flavor was lacking except for the actual mangos. There was plenty of sago, but I thought this dessert was underwhelming. My sister thought the boba was okay bc it had an interesting texture, and the drink itself was lightly sweet than what she's used to. My cousin thought the coffee was okay. The only thing we all enjoyed was the eggette. It's a bubble waffle with ice cream and fresh fruits, which is pretty difficult to mess up. Pricing: Prices are pretty high for the portions offered. Overall, the desserts were underwhelming and some didn't meet our expectations. The eggettes are most likely the only thing we'll come back for.

We came in around 730pm on a Monday night and there were a few tables taken. I thought that was a good sign since it was kind of cold tonight...if people are choosing to come here on a cold night, there must be a reason why! When we walked in, there was a gal at the counter, but was on her phone. Barely looked up to greet us, which wasn't a big deal since there are kiosks for you to order, but what I thought was kind of strange was she didn't bother trying to help us when we kept saying out loud "there are no photos of this or that" literally just on her phone and not trying to explain any of their menu items. The kiosk set up is on top of the counter, so we were asking these questions right in front of her. Lol. Made me wonder what the point of her sitting there was. Might as well have been in the back to watch whatever she was watching on her phone to make things less awkward. Luckily both our desserts were fine, but I did not appreciate having someone sitting at the counter only to let you know they don't care if 1) it's your first time there, 2) are confused by some of their dessert names, and 3) photos are missing for many of their items listed in the kiosk. The tables were dirty, my bag got wet from whatever was left from the previous party. Not cool. If the service (or lack there of) was better and tables clean I may have rated this place higher. Though the desserts were decent, not I'll be back. ** Warning Auto Tip: I noticed when I got home that they added a 12% tip to my total. There was no option to get a printed receipt nor was there a step to review ANY tip. I've never experienced such a thing, especially when this is a self service/pick up cafe **
