    original cream puff and Dubai Chocolate
    Luis D.

    Dubai chocolate was good, just chocolate with pistachios. Filling I chose was salted caramel. tasty and but bot that much better than the chocolate. still good cream puffs.

    Next to Blue Bottle Coffee, a nice combo if you're in Old Town Pasadena. The cream puffs have always been fresh and you choose what you want inside along with the classic sugar powder on top. No seating and very small area but you don't really need it for Beard Papa's. Worth checking out.

    Delicious cream puffs with different flavor options. Creme brûlée cream puff had a nice burnt sugar shell and filled generously with custard. Would opt for their mini versions of the creme puffs as ratio of filling to shell is better.

    6 Pack (vanilla filled)-- Churro (x2), Matcha, Strawberry, S'mores and Original

    While shopping in Pasadena we walked by Beard Papa's when my husband mentioned that he has never had their cream puffs -- WHAT?!? So, we immediately went into the small shop and placed an order. We picked up a 6 Pack, all vanilla filled -- Churro (x2), Matcha, Strawberry, S'mores and Original. Service was quick and friendly. The cream puffs were large, fresh and generously filled. My husband loved them! I'm sure he'll be asking for them again.

    One of my favorite dessert spots, finally was able to bring my boyfriend and it never disappoints. Definitely going to be coming all the time since we're a bit closer now. The churro puff with vanilla cream is my favorite.

    I love beard papa! There is always fun flavors to choose from and it's always delicious! This beard papa is small and usually there is only one employee working there but despite that fact , it's never a long wait!

    Staff was friendly , ordered oreo filled with strawberry cheesecake filling was delicious. It was raining but the store was clean

    The inside of the ube cream puff

    Let's get right to the point. These bad boys are DELICIOUS! They are delightful, and provide all kinds is satisfying texture experiences. The outside is crispy and light. The filling was cool and thick but not dense. They fill the cream puffs right in the spot. So that keeps the integrity of the doughs texture without getting soggy. There are many flavors and I can't wait to go back and try more. We had the ube which was flavorful and buttery. We also had the churro which had a lighter flavor from the cream inside, but the top had just enough cinnamon and sugar to be sweet but not over the top. We went there after a trip to Cheesecake Factory which is across the street. We parked at the parking structure which was around the corner. There is some street parking though. Go, just go.

    What a delicious treat! Stopped by on Friday at 9pm and picked up a few of the cream puffs on the counter. I got the strawberry and matcha flavored cream puffs and filled them with vanilla cream. They were overall delicious however I probably got the last batch of the night because the dough started to taste on the old side. Overall still creamy and delicious. Like $4.50 each puffs so it's a tad pricey.

    Happy National Cream Puff Day! (1/2/24)
    Hannah S.

    I've had Beard Papa's on my local list for ages and finally made my way in for National Cream Puff Day (1/2/24) - the perfect day to visit haha! We tried 5 different flavors and loved them all but the honey butter shell with vanilla filling was our fave! Staff are lovely, they have lots of flavor combinations, prices are reasonable, and these lovely little desserts would be perfect for parties. They have lots of premade cream puffs in various shell flavors available in their cases, all with vanilla filling - but they also offer many different flavors of outer shells that you can combine with any of several choices of filling which ends up giving you tons of different flavor combinations to choose from if that's your thing. I just picked from their premade choices and we were not disappointed. We tried a churro, s'mores, green tea, honey butter, and strawberry and loved them all! But the honey butter was by far our fave. Most of their puffs are full size but they offer several mini flavors too. The outer shells are light and crisp with a slightly sweet flavor. It perfectly compliments the luscious vanilla cream - such a lovely texture and flavor! Next time we visit I'll definitely be trying some other flavor combos with the different cream fillings. They also offer a few other dessert choices besides cream puffs - such as cheesecake and creme brûlée. There aren't any tables inside - this is a grab-and-go kinda place. Prices are definitely reasonable imo, especially considering the area. They're located in the core of busy Pasadena. There are lots of parking garages nearby and the one right next to it on Fair Oaks was free for the short 15 mins I spent there.

    Oreo Crumble Shell
    Juan B.

    Yummy dessert spot! Came here for some dessert after having dinner nearby and was happy with my purchase. I stopped by around 9pm and ordered a Oreo crumble and another shell though I can't remember what it was since I just gave it to my friend lol. Service was good, both the employees were kind and I had my stuff quickly. The shop is smaller and was pretty empty when I was here, but I've seen it get busy during earlier hours. Cute little spot. The Oreo shell that I had was really good. They are very generous with the cream filling which is really sweet. If you enjoy sweets a lot this spot will be a home run for you for sure. As for me, I enjoyed only half, the whole thing was too much sugar. Recommend to try at least once!

    Crispy Almond, Oreo Crumble Shell, Chocolate Eclair Shell, and Strawberry Shell
    Julie S.

    Beard Papa's was good, but just didn't quite meet my expectations. Because I'm a chocoholic, the traditional eclair was my favorite - chocolate shell with vanilla filling. However, the vanilla filling completely lacked flavor in my opinion. I tried the chocolate filling in the Oreo shell, and I thought that filling was tastier. I barely tasted any strawberry from the strawberry shell. All in all though, I found eating these to be a complete mess. The shells were just too hard and caused the custard filling to get everywhere when you bite into them. Pro tip: I found that eating them upside down helped a bit! I also think the mini eclairs might be a more enjoyable eating experience for this same reason. I'd probably try those next time, if I return!

    A classic with new franchise in Pasadena, with too many choices, but none turning out to be bad.

They are located in Mills Alley in Pasadena just look for the bright red sign and signage promoting some flavors. We came by after having dinner. The staff greeted us as we walked in. It was empty when we initially arrived then more customers filtered in shortly after. Staff allowed to sample their unique flavor options. **To note, they offer a few vegan flavors for those with dietary restrictions**. Always a huge plus and positive! The flavors are middle eastern inspired and the details are all listed. My wife and I sampled 2 flavors and we both enjoyed our selections. The flavors are memorable. We happily decided on the Sesame Halve (vegan) & Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell (+$1.00) for myself. The presentation is one of a kind! The topping with the tiny little rose is a nice aesthetic and definitely their trademark. The location offers retro and colorful style seating for 10+ customers if I had to guess . Patio seats are also offered outside. Also, OG Pac-Man arcades are available inside. My wife loved her Sesame Halva and my Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell totally reminded me of a Dubai Chocolate type of vibe with each bite! The whole first time visit was positive and would make me want to come by again to try something else! Presentation on point! Flavors on point! Vibes good! Tummies happy! Come by and just try!

When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections. It's a decent-sized shop with a few tables. Each table had a rose in a vase attached via velcro so you don't have to worry about tipping them over. The shop is also nicely decorated with wall art. It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.

I couldn't really taste the yuzu until I tried only the first layer of cream. The matcha overpowers the yuzu a lot because there was two layers of matcha cream and one layer of matcha cake. Still really good and can taste that the matcha is high quality! As for the kinako chestnut, we couldn't taste the chestnut much but there were some chestnut pieces hidden in the cake!

I wish there was a bit more seasoning or maybe something more than just egg in the egg salad-- it just felt like a lot of cream and egg. Also, the size of the sandwich felt a little small for $11. The space itself is alright, and staff were friendly! Parking was a bit hard to find, and I had to circle the block to get a spot a few minute walk away on the street. I'd consider coming back to try a warm sandwich or a latte, but I probably wouldn't get the egg salad sandwich again!

Un geste tout simple, mais tellement chaleureux et élégant. Ce genre d'accueil, ça ne s'oublie pas. Les serveurs et l'hôte sont tout aussi charmants, super accueillants, attentionnés, avec une belle énergie. Il nous a raconté qu'il est arrivé de France après le secondaire, puis qu'il a ouvert cet endroit après ses études. Il y a quelque chose de discrètement admirable là-dedans. Et maintenant, ils pensent déjà à s'agrandir... peut-être deux autres adresses à Atwater Village. Très bien. Le menu est plutôt style déjeuner/brunch--léger, bien portionné, rien de trop. Mais l'ambiance... c'est vraiment là que ça brille. Douce, cozy, pleine de charme. Les œuvres aux murs viennent de France, et ça donne une vraie âme à l'endroit, ça se ressent. Je dois dire que c'est assez rare que je ressente une ambiance aussi chaleureuse dans un resto français. On se sent accueilli, un peu comme chez quelqu'un. Pour huit personnes, environ 300 $, c'est vraiment raisonnable pour une expérience comme ça. Si tu passes dans le coin, ça vaut vraiment la peine d'y arrêter. Bravo Oh La La... à bientôt
