I had Beard Papa's over a decade ago and thought it was really good then. I ordered a pickup of 6 minis with vanilla. It was lightly and perfectly sweet. However, the outside was odd. Some of it was what I would expect from a cream puff, but the bottom was hard and crunchy. I don't mind texture, but there was a crunchy saltiness which didn't work well as a whole. It is too expensive personally for me to spend nearly $10 with tax on 6 mini cream puffs. For that price, I'd want better. read more

Went for the grand opening and the line was really long, so we left to go eat lunch and then came back around 12:30pm. It was still an hour total wait time to order and get the cream puffs. For grand opening, they had a limited menu with three options for shells: original, oreo, and chocolate. There was a buy 5 get 1 deal. We got the 6 + an extra cream puff from a coupon for following them on Instagram. Since I had Beard Papa's before, I knew the original was a classic - shell was crispy and filling was creamy without being overly sweet. The one downside is that these cream puffs really need to be eaten on the spot for maximum freshness - I ate another later in the afternoon and the shell was starting to become soft. Overall, storefront was packed for grand opening, but that is to be expected. Hope to try other flavors once they have their full menu! read more

Beard Papa’s - Original cream puff - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

We came around 11 am yesterday during their grand opening and the line was just way too long to wait for cream puffs. We came back around 6:30pm and got our cream puffs in 10 mins. We ordered 3 original to try. They were all pretty good. The puff was fresh and crispy with the right amount of cream in the middle. Hard to find parking on the weekend. Will definitely come back to try their other flavors next time. read more

This place is amazing, huge selection of sweet stuff. My wife loves it! Thanks again, Akira!

At the grand opening today they opened at 11am first 100 customers I got a free cap and three coupons to use for next time expires 2/4/24. They have three flavors original, chocolate, and Oreo Cookies and cream. No mini puffs for now. They have a limited menu for grand opening but should expand to a full menu eventually. This is the second time around in Cerritos after they closed the first location in another plaza years ago. Will see how they fare this second time around. read more

I've never had a cream puff other than the frozen ones from Costco so I was super excited to try a "real" cream puff! I would get Beard Papa's ads all over Instagram so I was like, "Yeah, I'll for sure try it and get the matcha one!". I don't remember what was there before Beard Papa's opened up, but the place itself was pretty small and empty. It's expected to be empty because it's a grab-n-go place like the Crumbl Cookie across the parking lot. The walls were painted nicely, and the eclairs looked appetizing. The employee was a bit awkward. I can't remember if they greeted us when we came in, but you have to tell them you're ready to order. Otherwise, they'll just kind of stand around and stare at you and the parking lot. Other than that, they were okay. I got the Green Tea Eclair with Vanilla Filling, and my boyfriend got the Oreo Cookie Crumble Eclair with Vanilla Filling. I thought cream puffs were supposed to be soft so I didn't know they would have a crunchy outside and be softer towards the middle. The cream puff itself was good, but you definitely need to eat it as soon as you get it. I gave my sister half of my cream puff to try it, and she told me she smelled a fried fishy smell from the cream puff. I smelled it after her, and I could smell it as well. It did not smell like that when I first got it so be sure to eat it after you get it! I don't think I would come back again because I'm not interested in the other flavors, and I don't think I like cream puffs. However, it is definitely something everyone should try once because I think lots of people only have had Costco cream puffs! read more

This store just opened on January 27, 2024. I've only had frozen cream puffs at Costco, so having a store dedicated solely to cream puffs is new and delightful. Only two employees were working at the time when we ordered, but they worked fast and efficiently. Unfortunately, they did not have ALL the item menus at that time and only had Original, Oreo, and Chocolate which came with their Soft Opening promotion deal. It's not too sweet or overwhelming with sugar like most typical American pastries, which makes it so much more enjoyable. I would recommend this if you're craving something sweet, without feeling guilty that you'd suffer from a heart attack or diabetes. read more

Just opened 1/27/24. Small store. Clean. Great atmosphere. Great staff. Currently have a promo of buy 5 get 1 free. It is individually wrapped which takes some time to prepare. They are still getting used to moving around. So far the only filling they have is original with 3 puffs to choose from: original, chocolate and cookie crumble (oreo). Filling is not too sweet and it is manually added by staff. Puffs are crunchy yet soft and combine it with the filling, so good! Parking can be difficult especially in this area, i suggest park towards the back and walk. Wait can be around 5-10minutes. Will definitely come back! read more

Beard Papa's is FINALLY back in Cerritos! Arrived on opening day around 7pm and the line wasn't too bad! We got the original cream puff which was extremely buttery and soft. The custard wasn't too sweet and had the perfect amount inside. They currently offer three flavors - Original, Oreo and Chocolate. Only vanilla custard filling available at this time! Hopefully once they're more settled they'll add back in the chocolate filling. read more

I didn't like the texture of the puffs. It was cold,hard but the filling was good. $5 for once cream puff was not worth it.

Ok so I was being a little lazy fatty on a Friday night and ordered from here Uber eats. They packaged my delivery so cute ! I got a strawberry eclair with chocolate custard. It had a mix of chocolate and vanilla tho which is fine by me! It was so good. Sweet but airy like puff pastry meets donut. Satisfied my cravings ! And I also got the matcha white chocolate chip cookie which looked brown with a green hue on the inside- still very tasty. Perfect amounts of soft and chewy. I would def love to visit this shop and try in person read more

First time.... Pros: 1. Excellent Cream Puffs! The mini's are crispy outside and yummy inside. Buy 6 for $7. 2. Excellent varieties, they change flavors every first of the month. May they had Pineapple puffs and June, it changed to something else. 3. Ebony their server is so professional, welcoming and just an awesome worker, she serves, smiles and steals the show with her welcoming personality. Loved her Cons: CREDIT CARD only place! The owner needs to have on hand in the store a pre-paid visa and ALLOW cash paying customers to buy here also? If you have an in store pre-paid visa, the cash paying customers you don't lose, they can give you cash that you use to input into your stores pre-paid visa if you still want to maintain it as a mainly card paying store. You're in Cerritos, not all Asian/Indian/Mexican parents give their kids credit cards. Lol And not everyone wants to increase their debts. Covid is over, most have been vaccinated so it's no longer a safety issue but a store convenience issue. You lose a bigger customer base. However, card only is discrimination against other paying customers who have cash. Please don't limit your customers. You have a great dessert item many would love to enjoy, please make it available to all. Thank you read more

The absolute BEST cream puffs in SoCal, even in Japan, just opened up in Cerritos. You guys, one bite of this takes you to airy, cream-filled heaven. Crunchy, soft, buttery, light, and creamy, all at the same time. They have so many flavors like Oreo and a special creme brûlée! I'm seriously SO obsessed with all of their fillings, but especially the raspberry paired with the raspberry icing. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

I'm so glad they opened a beard papa back in cerritos! I remember it being near skate depot and it suddenly closed down. The establishment is clean and the service is friendly. But they are inconsistent on how much cream they put in the puffs. On slower days with no customers, they will pump twice of the cream into your puffs and weigh them to see if the correct amount was inserted. On busier days I see that they only pump the cream in once and don't weigh it. read more

Yelp "moderators" have taken my review down twice simply for describing the employee who was atrociously rude and unprofessional to both the customers and employees. I camt even describe a personal consumer experience anymore? Horrible censorship. I went around 9 PM on 4/6/24 and had a horrible experience due to the actions of this one employee. She was yelling at her coworker, giving her coworkers and customers dirty looks, getting unnecessarily loud with customers, etc. Cream puffs were good, but service was anything but! read more

My first time trying Beard Papa's. It's so good! The puff is so full of cream. It's not too sweet. I love the flavor, just perfect. They squeeze the cream right after each order. Very fresh and quick! read more

I missed having a beard papas in Cerritos, I'm so glad it's back! I went today and tried many puffs. My favorite was the crème brûlée puff, it was warm and crunchy from the roasted sugar and the cold custard was just a perfect balance 10/10! They also had an ube fondant cake which is really small but it was very tasty! The service was also very fast. read more

I haven't had Beard Papa's in ages. The last time I had one was when I lived in the South Bay before COVID. How I've missed these cream puffs. These cream puffs are the real deal! We got the Papas Faves Mixed 6-Pack - original, chocolate, matcha, creme brulee, strawberry, and mint chip - all with delicious vanilla custard. The puffs were super fresh, the filling perfect, and they even held up well after we took them home. Staff was awesome, the shop was spotless, and I'll definitely be back for more! read more

I'm rating it 5 stars because it's not overwhelmingly sweet! I definitely love sweets, but I also feel a lot better knowing it's not too much I came on their grand opening day around 9:40am and there was already a huge line of people waiting outside. As I was making my way to the end of the line, I counted that there were 38 people so I was like okay cool because I wanted to be the first 100 to get their free prizes LOL Once they open their doors at 11:00, it took awhile for them to get through the lines because I didn't get to order until 11:40. However, I understand that grand openings are very hectic and they did an incredible job!! Customer service was great and the cream puffs were amazing. There's a lot of cream filling inside! Once the other flavors are available, I will be back. The original, chocolate, and Oreo cream puffs were great, but I really want to try strawberry or Ube!! This store is most likely going to be a to-go type of restaurant as I didn't see any tables and chairs available inside. It's kind of small. Also, parking can be a hit or miss. It can be crowded with parking, but you can always park at target and walk if you need to read more

Beard papa's is a well known cream puff store so I wanted to come here and try it. Upon walking in, the store was pretty empty and small as well. the menu now offers five different cream puffs, including the valentines special which is the raspberry cream puff. because its only offered for a limited time, I chose the raspberry with white chocolate as well as got the original for free with a voucher via instagram dm. the raspberry cream puff isn't bad, but i thought it was kinda too sweet for me, so I would prefer the original. unfortunately I did have to wait more than 5 minutes for my order even though there was no one before me. But given the price, I probably wouldn't come back unless there's some special promotions or offerings. read more

I remember when there used to be a BP in cerritos many moons ago. I am SO happy they brought it back! I went to their soft opening and now at their grand opening. The puffs are awesome and once they get past their opening they will have a lot more selection.

Soft opening today! Came in by luck to find this spot has finally opened. Ambiance is clean and small. Service was perfect. But my only complaint was the product itself. It was not as soft as it used to be. Kinda stale. And only had 3 flavor options. Original, cookies and cream and chocolate. There is a current deal if you buy 5 the 6th one is free for $20. read more

Been a fan of Beard Papa's since 2010. Used to drive all the way out to J-Town in Sawtelle. Very happy with this one here for several reasons: a clean store & process, delicious monthly flavours and great customer service (Shoutout to Martin! If management happens to read this, I want you to know you've got a knowledgeable staff in him. Ended up buying a six pack instead of 2 pieces because he told me about your new flavours.) Hope Martin gets recognized for representing your store well P.S. Can you please add chocolate to your fillings? read more

Ughh the girl that was here was kinda rude and not very responsive. She didn't give me the check in offer for a buy 5 get one 1 offer even though she acknowledged it when i showed her. And it all didn't taste that great, maybe after she soured my mood and I just did not have any appetite to finish so I just gave away the rest to some friends so they wouldn't go to waste. read more

We got the fruit loops one and the mini ones with half chocolate, half vanilla. The fruit loops was really yummy but had a bit too much filling for our tastes. The mini ones were excellent, but I definitely enjoyed the vanilla better than the chocolate filling even though usually I pick chocolate. The girl behind the counter must've had a long day cause she was not the friendliest. But it was toward the end of the day and I'm sure she was tired. read more

First time @ Cerritos store (I've been going to the one in Little Tokyo). The puffs are the same great quality, but the staff there were more friendly and more attentive. Ebony (the receipt name) knew her puffs and she was very helpful suggesting selections for me. I'll definitely come back next month to try Pepsi / Coke flavor cream puff! read more

I seen the place from across the way and thought I would give it a shot. I love some good cream puffs. I bought the mini ones,chocolate and vanilla. Along with the Capitan crunch, which was a larger one. Sad to say this place did not wow me. The mini ones were mid, both flavors. The captain crunch was better but it was ok. I wouldn't say they were bad but I wouldn't come back here. The customer service was good, no issues. read more

Always delicious, love the original and chocolate dipped with custard. Friendly service

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed a little something special for a friend's baby shower. These were perfect for the event! We ordered 16 of the minis with all three fillings (chocolate, pineapple, and vanilla) and they were very well received. In fact, those darling little cream puffs were devoured within the first 10 minutes. Notes to self: do this again for summer party AND double the order! The end. read more

If you remember beard papas by skate depot, this is the same exact thing. Nostalgia!!

So good! I used to frequent Bears Papa's years ago but they shut down. So glad they opened one nearby. Cream puffs are only filled when ordered so the puff is crunchy and not soggy. The custard is smooth and the perfect texture. It's not too sweet but it's just enough that it' satisfies my sweet tooth but is also refreshing at the same time. They also had it ready so fast and the workers were all so kind. No picture because it didn't last long. read more
