    Ube with chocolate filling
    Lola H.

    The lady behind the counter was so kind and patient while we looked at their menu. It was our first time here. I used to think this place was expensive, but after trying it, I changed my mind. One cream puff is huge! (about the size of 3 average size cream puffs combined) And it is generously filled with the delicious cream. Trust me, as someone who used to be a skeptic, it's totally worth it! The place was cute and the food was cute and they have so many different things to choose from. I loved everything I tasted here.

    Love the cream puffs here since they're usually not too sweet. I don't come here often but when I do, it always is a hit.

    Finally got to give this a try! We came pretty late so there wasn't much options to choose from. Which is okay since the options left we pretty good still. Walking in the walls are covered with a little back story about the place. We decided to get the custom 6 pack, total for that is $30. I found it to be kind of on the pricey side. One person was working, she seem pretty nervous and I had a lot of questions so I didn't want to bother her too much lol so I asked her to just do what she thinks will be best with the options I chose. I guess they fill up your puffs with whatever filling you want. Flavors to choose from would be vanilla, chocolate, green tea and I'm not sure what else since the screen wouldn't stop moving so it was hard to decide what they had to offer. For the puffs itself we got the matcha, strawberry shortcake, Dubai chocolate and a raspberry cookies and crème. The quality of the cream puffs were delicious, you can taste all the ingredients. Not too sweet and the texture is nice. What a pleasant way to end the day. It was definitely worth trying.

    Excellent cream puffs, quality cream. Krispy shell, really sweet and wonderful taste. Best pastry cream puff I've ever had. The person who helped me was fast and got my complex order correctly. Cute store, clean and effective.

    When we walked in, we were greeted by a young lady who seemed kind of shy. We didn't know what they served but thought they were donuts. She told us they were large cream puffs. The flavors were good and not too sweet. I wasn't really a fan of the shell. The inside tasted like pudding with a weird textured thin bread. Maybe it was old since we went later in the day. But it is neat that they offer different fillings. The inside was simple and clean. There were only a couple of tables and some chairs. So it wasn't really a social place. We ended trying three favors, vanilla, chocolate and ube. Vanilla tasted the best to us, but this place isn't somewhere I'd return for dessert, it was expensive for something small in my opinion.

    Original Cream Puff with Powdered Sugar
    Amanda P.

    So happy to see that they have a Beard Papa's here in Clovis. Coming from the Bay Area, this sweet treat has been a staple in our household. We have to have a cream puff at least once a month. Anytime I come into Beard Papa's to order some cream puffs, I usually order 2 dozens-- and each time, the workers have always been patient and very accommodating. I do not mind the wait, considering it is a larger order than what people usually get. But you are able to watch the workers prepare your cream puff through the glass while you wait. With each cream puff you have the ability to choose your shell and your custard filling. It's very customizable to your favorite flavors, which is also awesome if you're feeling adventurous to try something new. Would highly recommend the original shell with powdered sugar sprinkled on top and their seasonal ube shell! As for the custard filling, vanilla has never disappointed. I usually order to-go but there are a few tables inside to enjoy your treats. Especially when the heat starts kicking in the valley, its a better idea to enjoy it indoors. They also recommend that with to-go orders that you refrigerate if you're not eating it right away; just so that the cream puffs are fresh before serving.

    Green tea shell with Vanilla filling.
    Lindsay C.

    I stumbled across this little gem today. Walking in it is a big open space. At the counter top you order by pairing your cream puff shell with choice of filling. The staff as very patient with me having a hard time deciding. I was very skeptical in trying as the shells looked think and filling very sugary BUT boy was I wrong. It was the perfect balance of shell to cream. I had the green tea shell with vanilla filling. The filling was amazing!! Great consistency, perfect sweetness to creamy texture (I say Asian sweet not American sweet). The shell was soft, not soggy and my favorite was the little crunch on the bottom. My husband and daughter had a chocolate shell with chocolate filling. And was told it was the best!! This is a definitely return! I can't wait to try more flavor combinations.

    Japanese Fluffy Cheesecake, Green Tea Eclair,  S'mores Eclair and  Mini Puffs (8-2 filling of each flavor)
    Diana L.

    Yummmmmyyyy! I love that fillings are without extra charge AND you can pick different fillings if you even get the mini packs! I gotten 2 of each filling flavor for my 8 piece mini puffs and it was delish! I cannot pinpoint a fav, it was all good. Also gotten the jap cheesecake, s'mores eclair and a green tea. Again, good! This is a chain & I once had in the bay which I thought was mid, but this second time around it was so good! The location is in the same area as the Ross and Spouts. Good location, terrible parking lot. The business itself was very spacious and clean. Cute wall decor. The person that helped was REALLY patient and helpful!

    Chocolate Eclair Honey & Butter Eclair S'mores Eclair Creme Brulee
    V G.

    We got the S'more's, crème brûlée, chocolate eclair and honey butter eclair... all were with vanilla custard and were amazing.. custard and puff pastry were both light and flavorful. The crème brûlée was my absolute favorite. Only down side is we ordered delivery and they were stacked on top of eachother. Would have been a 10 out of 10 if they were individually packaged.

    Cream puff heaven! My brother and sis in law swear by this bakery. If you've been wondering about this place, don't wonder anymore and just come in! The scents will have you decided you need a treat and once you've consumed it, you're going to want to come every week. Oh wait, is that just me? Lol I think not! I'm surprised they had what was left an hour before they closed. We chose: the valentines eclair with raspberry crème filling, Strawberry eclair with chocolate crème filling Ube eclair with vanilla crème filling Cookie crumble with vanilla crème filling Strawberry cheese bake and fluffy cheesecake Try one of each! lol They fill your puffs right after you order. When we got home after dinner, they were perfectly puffy and not soggy for dessert. So yummy! Can't wait to come back.

    Sinny S.

    This place is so yummy. When you walk in, there is this very sweet scent. I love having different choices of the outer and the inner (cream). The price is ok and they do have a deal when you buy more. Tried their drink samples before; a bit sweet for me. Staff is friendly. Place is big, but not really a place to hang out, however.

    A little shop serving up decadent Cream Puff's filled with delicious flavored custards. Tanya and I stopped in to grab a sweet treat. They've brought the taste of Japan to Fresno, CA. I ordered the strawberry Cheesecake Crème Brûlée. The inside was filled with cheesecake and custard filling. It wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be. Which was a good thing. It was just right. Tanya got the orange Crème Brûlée. The young lady working explained the history of Bread Papa's and how they make these delicious treats fresh daily. A must stop on your foodie checklist if you're in Fresno.

    Delicious creme puffs and cute decor!
    Sarah D.

    Woohoo! Finally tried Beard Papa's after seeing them on the front yelp page months ago! We stopped in after having Eureka! in Clovis-great location! I love sweets/desserts of all kinds so I pretty much knew I would enjoy these creme puffs but I actually LOVED them. Have to go back soon! We were greeted nicely when we walked in. Not busy on a Friday night, kind of early. They had many flavors to choose from, I tried the Strawberry and a the classic vanilla one. Omg both were so tasty! So much cream inside the pastry was perfect. Neat place to sit and enjoy your treats. Love the cute decor.

This review is long overdue, but Nummy Yummy deserves high praise and recognition for is deliverance to excellent and tasty dessert for the Fresno community. We went here again just a few days ago and it still hits the spot. The menu typically rotates ice cream flavor every month. Not only ice cream, but they also have warm taiyaki! This place reminds me of SomiSomi chain, but to be honest, I think Nummy Yummy is better. All of the staff here are super nice, patient, and always willing to answer your questions. I've come here a lot and have yet to come across a grumpy staff member (haha). The location is in the corner of the RN Market plaza. There is plenty of parking, but I wish they hadn't taken away the indoor seating. There is nowhere to dine in and sit other than the dirty bench outside. I see the majority of people just eating in their car. I hope they decide to offer more flavors and toppings. The various Asian flavors are a hit, and a suggestion box from the public could be an idea. Also, not sure if the eye is playing tricks, but seems like their new cups provide a smaller portion than the old cups. Hopefully that is not the case.

From the moment you walk in, there is a sense that baking here is not just a craft -- it is an art form. There is something magical about stepping into a French bakery, and Parisien Bakery delivers that feeling in full. The French have elevated baking into a cultural experience of indulgence and beauty, and it is on proud display here. Approach the glass case, and it feels like browsing a gallery of edible masterpieces: pastel-colored macarons stacked like delicate jewels, glossy fruit tarts shimmering under the lights, and éclairs lined up with precise elegance, each filled with silky, decadent cream. Sweet Highlights The sweet selections are where Parisien truly shines. Standouts include: Sweet crêpes Éclairs Macarons Croissants Maple cronut Fruit tarts Turnovers Each item showcases careful craftsmanship, balanced sweetness, and visual presentation that rivals high-end patisseries. Their French Roast coffee is bold, robust, full-flavored, and always piping hot -- the perfect companion to any pastry. Savory Options On the savory side, the breakfast sandwiches, omelet croissants, breakfast popper, and the Parisien sandwich are all solid and satisfying choices. While well-prepared, they do not quite reach the same magical heights as the sweet offerings. The croque monsieur and croque madame are especially intriguing and worth trying on a future visit. Atmosphere & Experience The ambiance is cozy and charming, laid out to be reminiscent of a sidewalk café in Paris. With both indoor and outdoor seating -- including street-side dining -- it is an inviting place to linger. A glassed-in kitchen allows guests to watch pastries being crafted in real time, adding a layer of authenticity and appreciation for the skill behind each creation. Warm, friendly service rounds out the experience, making it easy to see why this bakery remains a local favorite. Parisien Bakery is not just a place to grab breakfast or dessert -- it is a small escape into French culinary artistry right in the heart of Old Town Clovis.
