    The promotional mural
    Rangie T.

    I have been here many times and I've even been to a location in Japan. I love cream puffs and my son wanted to try their special promotional flavors in Collaboration with Hololive, so I'm always up for a variety of flavors. We got the four specific Hololive flavors and I have to get my traditional with custard to make it a six-pack. All I can say is yummmmm .

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

    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.

    Tried a box of cream puffs and my husband and I really enjoyed them! There was a good variety, and each one had its own flavor and topping. The cream was light and not too sweet, and the texture of the puffs was just right--not too heavy. It was easy to finish the whole box without feeling too full. The quality really stands out and feels very much like desserts from Japan. The staff were also very kind and welcoming. Would definitely come back to try more flavors.

    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.
    Maria E.

    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.

    Viviana H.

    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.

    Kevin Q.

    Amazing dessert! Super yummy and the staff are all so friendly. Love seeing them at events in the local area! They had a super cool Mashle collaboration as well. The pastries are filled to the brim with crème and not too sweet, just perfect!

    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.

    A perfect Cafe that made my day...was Tous Les Jours (It means everyday!)…read more I visited Tous Les Jours on a Thursday around 2:15 p.m. and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. From the gold and white décor to the soft jazz playing throughout the café, the entire space feels elegant, peaceful, and welcoming. One thing I really enjoyed was the self-serve bakery experience. You grab a tray when you walk in and choose from a selection of fresh pastries, breads, croissants, cookies, macarons, cakes, pies, tarts, and so much more. There truly is something for everyone. I ordered the Honey Lavender Matcha and a chocolate muffin and spent about 11bucks. Let me just say, both were excellent. The matcha was perfectly balanced with earthy matcha, honey, and lavender without being overly sweet. The chocolate muffin was soft, moist, and filled with a rich chocolate center that made every bite even better. I also appreciated the attention to cleanliness and presentation. Many of the fresh bakery items were individually wrapped and sealed, while others were beautifully displayed behind glass, giving the café a polished and upscale feel. What really stood out to me was the value. I spent less here than I had at another coffee shop earlier that week, yet left feeling like I received so much more. The quality, atmosphere, food, and overall experience made it feel like money well spent. Whether you're looking for a place to study, work remotely, enjoy a coffee date, meet a friend, or simply treat yourself, Tous Les Jours is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back to try more from their bakery because there were far too many delicious options to choose from in just one visit.

The sponge is incredibly soft, and the mascarpone cream is light, airy, and not overly sweet, making every bite feel perfectly balanced. The fresh strawberries add just the right amount of sweetness and a slight tartness that complements the delicate cream beautifully. This isn't one of those heavy, overly rich cakes that leave you feeling full after a slice. It's so light and refreshing that it's hard to stop at just one piece. I chose this cake for my birthday, and it was the perfect celebration cake. If you enjoy desserts that are elegant, fluffy, and just sweet enough, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I'll definitely be ordering it again!

I think compared to the traditional asian bakeries in 626 like Kee Wah, etc., the breads are much softer (a little on the overly soft side). One of my favorite asian breads, the bolo bao, is probably the worst here or at any 85C - the flakiness that's supposed to be the highlight of the bolo bao is not even close to where it needs to be at 85C. But I will say, the bun with the coffee filling inside is spectacular, and I would recommend it to anyone who loves coffee. At night, the selection of the breads is extremely limited, but the place is still popular due to the large variety of drink offerings. There is a lot of seating and the place is generally clean and well-lit. The parking lot is big but it's always busy and may be hard to find a spot unless you park further away sometimes.

Knead closes at 1pm on weekdays (Monday closed, till 9pm Sat & Sun), and being approximately 30 minutes to close, two boxes of assorted donuts were left to choose from. Knead's Dubai Chocolate donut was a whopping $8! I tried to haggle the price down, both individually or with another donut, to no avail. No way was I planning to buy a whole box, either. Prices vary around $6-$8. Aware prices have gone up everywhere, that's still too much, in my summation, for donuts. In addition, not being a big donut guy, I don't foresee being a frequent customer. Knead Donuts does sell beautifully crafted donuts, which would satisfy even the most critical sugar junkie, but with premium pricing attached to each donut, can't justify the money spent, for my needs.
