Coconut cream puff with coffee filling This was so great! They have so many options to customize the cream puff and the filling. The puff itself is so fluffy and light, and the filling has great flavor and is super smooth. Cute little shop! Glad to have this chain in dallas! read more

The owner is friendly but unfortunately he messed up my daughter's order even though I had the repeat the order to him 3 times because he keeps getting side tracked. Seems very Asian with having all these things at the store front to sell that isn't related to Beard Papa's. The cream puffs would have been good if the filling was the correct filling. We don't like vanilla filling and she only likes chocolate with chocolate, unfortunately hers got vanilla and chocolate filling. read more

Saw this place on tik tok one day and decided to try it with my girlfriend. It was different and has a good assortment of flavors, but overall was nothing special to be honest. Service was good and the place inside is small and cozy, but the cream puffs were just alright tbh. If you wanna try something new in plano, would check it out. read more

When you walk in, you will be hit with the most delicious smell ever...Originating from a small town in Osaka Japan in 1999, Beard Papa's sell the most delicious double layered puff-choux stuffed with light and not-too-sweet custard cream filling. There are a variety of flavors of shells and filling to choose from, and they are all good! (4/5) Ube Shell with Vietnamese Coffee Filling The shell itself is just so perfect- crunchy, buttery, yet flaky. I couldn't taste the ube in the icing but the coffee filling was delicious. Light, creamy, with not too sweet flavor of light coffee read more

Always love coming here for a sweet treat especially after stopping by Chongqing House for a spicy meal. The store is always cozy and clean. Service always very friendly, even though sometimes you need to wait a few minutes for them to fill your cream puffs. But it is definitely worth the wait. Love the combo of chocolate puff with matcha cream filling. Price is very reasonable. I look forward to trying their specialty flavors like ube next time I come back! read more

Stopped by here for Elite event and got one regular and one strawberry cream puff with matcha filling. These cream puffs are a nice choice of dessert, easy to eat and tasteful! The worker was very kind, while I was waiting for my turn, he made sure to let me know that he'll be right with me. The indoor is clean, spacious and has a little booth selling cute goodies! read more

The pastry wasn't as soft as I expected - it was more flaky and a bit crunchy. But the filling inside was light and sweet, which balanced it out nicely. I tried the s'mores pastry with chocolate filling and the ube pastry with vanilla filling. Both were tasty, and it was fun trying something new. Overall, I enjoyed it! read more

Cute little shop with tasty dessert! They have a lot of flavors of shell and fillings that you can customize. Shells have a nice crunch but still soft and filled with a generous amount of light, smooth, flavorful cream. We got Oreo with vanilla filling, original, and matcha with matcha filling. My favorite was the matcha. Came on a weekday night and it was empty. Service was quick & friendly. This location is readily accessible. It's right off the highway in a strip mall with ample parking lot. read more

My favorite cream puffs! I love the coffee puff with Vietnamese coffee filling ($4.20 including tax), but you can mix and match from their many puff and filling options. They fill the cream puffs to order, so the puff is always fresh and crispy. The cafe area is cute with a few counter /bar stool seats. Service is friendly, and since there's usually only 1 person working, you'll need to a wait a sec for them to fill your puffs to order. But it's so worth it and always so delicious! read more

Tried this place for a Yelp event and glad I was able to go! I honestly don't remember the last time I had a cream puff to compare but these were delicious! I really really liked the Ube cream puff with vanilla filling. It was light and not too sweet which I appreciated. They have a ton of flavor options so if you like really sweet then they have something for you as well! read more

Came into the store on a Sunday evening and it was quiet. There is bar-top seating in a small area of about 4 seats but otherwise no other seating or restroom. Most people opted to grab and go. I picked the regular matcha cream puff but there are many options. It took about 5-10 minutes for one to be made. Some options were not available anymore like ice cream style. However, they did have others such as chocolate, vanilla, ube, and others. I think people who enjoy pies would like this and the cream puff filling is very much like a light pudding. It's a good size - about 5" and you can probably share with a frien read more

I've been to several BPs around the west coast but never seen one this sparsely decorated. I've seen some of the old pics and the countertop display case was missing. Looks like a going-out-of-business sale. I bought the mixed 6-pack. The plane with vanilla filling was good. The puff was crispy and the cream was fluffy and light. I hope they stay open. read more

Been to many beard papa's but first time to this location. Decided to get the mini cream puffs. The display was't filled up will all the flavors like other locations normally do. The cream puff has that nice crunch I'm familiar with but felt that they didn't put enough filling. Small location with no seating other than the bench, the rest is just standing table against the walls. read more

I had never tried cream puffs before, so the excitement was real when I stepped into Beard Papa's. They boasted five fillings on rotation, offering a plethora of options for mixing toppings and fillings. Opting for a safe yet delicious choice, I went with vanilla filling paired with the Oreo cream puff. The price seemed fair for such a delightful dessert experience. Overall, it was a sweet introduction to the world of cream puffs at Beard Papa's! I'm sad that the Frisco location got closed but at least this isn't too far from me :D read more

This has been on my bucket list forever, and I had no idea what to expect. But since I'm a sucker for anything that says "fresh and natural," I had to try it. The guy waiting on me was so nice. He explained that you picked a pastry, and then you pick a filling. I picked chocolate, strawberry, and 2 Creme Brulee with a vanilla filling. $3.70 each. I ate one on the way home. Another one an hour later. Saved one for my husband. I plan to eat that last one after this review, lol. Out of this world delicious!! It's a light flaky pastry, with a simple frosting, and stuffed with a generous amount of fluffy custard like creamy filling. What's not to love about that? Yum! I found my new thrill ... read more

Everyone keeps talking about Beard Papa's, so I figured at some point I'd have to go to try it out. I ordered one of each of their main flavors so we could have the full experience. First, the shop opens much later than I expected. Cream puffs can be breakfast, I'd think, but they open closer to midday. Second, I'm not sure what the hype is with cream puffs. They are tasty, but not life changing. I think I prefer a little more substance when I'm eating pastry and a little less filling. Of the four fillings we tried, I really liked matcha the best. It was very different and went with the not-sweet pastry very well. We're glad we tried Beard Papa's, but probably won't be regular patrons because they aren't our style of treats. (Not their fault at all ...) read more

Staff was great both friendly and effecient. Did not have to wait long and cream puffs were delicious as always. The store was clean.

Sometimes you find yourself craving a cream puff and wind up ordering more than you need because all the flavors sound delicious! I've tried a few of the delightful flavors from Beard Papa's and they're always so tasty! They have so many options and combos, you will definitely be able to find one you love. The only downside is the size and simply because I have yet to find a way to eat them without making a mess, lol. A great dessert option for any occasion! read more

Bread papa's cream puffs are exactly as I remembered from back in my high school years. It is a large Japanese cream puff chain, and have been wanting to stop by since it was opened in Plano area. It is light, airy, and fluffy. The only reason I have rated four out of five is because I ordered the matcha cream puff but ended with a vanilla one... I would recommend to immediately take a bite of your cream puff before exiting the store; otherwise, all's good! read more

Authentically good! Why do I say that, I lived in Japan and the way it's made there and the the quality, taste and freshness is impeccablely the same, hence authentic. They make it always fresh. Crustly and crispy on the outside, creamy fresh and not so sweet on the inside. This taste and treat is my Japan connection lol! LOVE this place. read more

First time here, not coming back, ever. Ordered a simple matcha latte, with a puff pastry. But the lady didn't want to work on my order immediately because she had a large catering order of just puff pastries. Even then, made me wait 20 minutes, I ordered fries next door at ZeroDegrees, and they were made extremely fast, and I know fries take longer to cook than to package a pastry. So I ordered my fries first, but it took 15-20 minutes just to get a simple matcha drink. Terrible experience. Sorry Beard Papa, but they're not living your legacy the way you hoped for. read more

Best cream puff I have had yet! This place smells like fresh pastry out of the oven when you first walk in. There's also a swing, and a few seats inside if you decide to stay and enjoy the sweet treat. Besides that, they're extremely quick at preparing the cream puffs and packing them. I'm a huge matcha fan so had to try the matcha shell and matcha filling. I was a bit disappointed that their matcha shell is not full matcha batter, but only cover with harden matcha cream (similar to cream on pocky sticks) 1/3 of the shell. The same case for the chocolate, strawberry shell. The matcha cream filling is so good tho. Very matcha-y, lightly sweet, fluffy and very creamy, not heavy at all. My favorites from here so far have to be the original shell, honey butter shell, and I'm sticking to matcha filling lol. Their pricing is a bit high, but given that their cream puffs are bigger than most. It's worth it, but I wouldn't make a habit of coming here more than 1-2 times a week lol. Maybe I'll come more often when they start having reward program, which I doubt would happen anytime soon. read more

EDIT: updating to actually give them 5 stars (oops!) Osaka's Beard Papa finally has a franchise in the DFW area! It gets 5 stars from me because 1) it is consistent with other locations and 2) it will be a go-to for tasty treats. Beautiful little space on the side of the 75 with Mango Mango and Zero Degrees nearby. The lines have calmed down now compared to when it first opened, so drop in for a tasty autumn afternoon treat! I've only tried the choux cream puffs (シュークリーム). As of last weekend, there were at least 21 possible combinations. \\ Shells (7): original, matcha, chocolate, strawberry, crème brûlée, honey and butter, dulce de leche \\ Filling (3): vanilla, matcha, chocolate The pastry is scrumptiously light and fluffy encased in a shell that easily gives way with a slight crunch. The cream is cold and smooth and pumped in to order. If you're (for whatever reason) not going to eat it on the same day (what), maybe store it in the fridge (or give it to me). You'll probably want to do some experimentation to find your favorites. Share with a friend (or me)! I found the matcha/strawberry coating to be a little tough, but the flavors were still yum. That said, I'll probably end up sticking with the original shell in the long term. read more

A great place for a quick snack or treats for a group event. We got a box of half dozen, the level of customization was really helpful in letting us try all the different flavors!

I'm a huge fan of cream puff. I found out about this place because my friend and I visited Zero Degree. This place had a huge line for a Sunday night. It's a small little bakery, maybe a few high seats along the side. I knew I had to try it out since there was such a long line. I came on a Tuesday afternoon, and there was no lines. I put in my order and got it super quick. I ordered the strawberry, green tea and the original puffs. I paired the green tea with the green tea custard. Strawberry & original had the vanilla custard. It was really good. The puffs were fresh and the fillings had the right amount of sweetness. Although they are pretty huge, I seriously can eat a few of these in one setting, only thing is that I can't bring myself to spend that much money on cream puffs. I got 3 only and it was a little over $10. I would say it's a bit on the pricy side. It's worth a try. read more

I wouldn't have known about who and what Beard Papa is if it wasn't for Yelpers who are from California. They have talked about it day in and day out ever since they heard that it's coming to DFW. I stalked their FB page hardcore to get info first hand Soft opening finally came and O.M.G. There was a wait but I didn't mind it at all. The smell is just amazing. Heaven probably smell like this. Like freshly baked bread puffs. They have the bread puffs ready but they put the cream in to order. Some people ordered boxes and boxes of it and they may have been the reason for the wait. I waited about 20 minutes for my order. The cream puffs are just heavenly. Crunchy on the outside but soft and heavenly in the inside while there creamy filling is just right sweetness. Will definitely come back for more when they have all the flavors they offer available. read more

I have been waiting years for Beard Papa's to make its way to the U.S.!! It's as good as I remember it. The shop was small with not much seating, but nicely decorated. The smell of the cream puffs was delightful. I had the Honey Butter cream puff with vanilla filling. I loved the sweet crunch of the caramelized shell and the filling was smooth and custard-y. Yes it's a little pricey, but the cream puff is actually pretty big. The oreo shell was tempting. I heard their fondants are also really good, so I will have to try them next time I visit! read more

I've been a fan of this place since I went to SF for the first time ever, so that's almost 8 years. When I saw this sign right next to Zero Degrees, I was just beside myself. I was present during the soft opening on a dreary, rainy day but there was still a line. I ordered 6 which included: 1 regular with vanilla crème 2 regular with green tea crème 1 chocolate with vanilla (FAV) 1 honey & butter with vanilla (2nd FAV) 1 green tea with green tea There were other flavors like crème brulee and strawberry that weren't available yet, but I'll be back to try those as well. It is sort of pricy for about $3.20 and up for each, but they're just so delectable and tasty. They do put a lot of cream so some of it might squirt out when you bite into it. It also was a bit too crispy for me, but I'm sure they're still working out the kinks. Either way, I've told all of my friends to go, so you just need to get yourself some. read more

We have had beard papa before when visiting other states and were happy to find it here in Plano. The puff pastries are pre made but they will fill the filling as you order. Some of their selections were crossed off but still plenty to chose from. My kids wanted to try their strawberry and Oreo cookie puff pastry filled with vanilla cream. It's crunchy on the outside and filled with lots of delicious vanilla custard. It was a little messy as the kids were just munching it away and the filling came out. But it's that delicious. They had a special buy 5 and get one free. They also had a little table on the side where they sell handmade items such as bamboo straws and spoons, key chains a little stuffed animals. Pretty cute!! Conveniently located right off 75/ n central expressway in a small strip mall. read more

So fresh and yummy! I love that you are able to choose how you want your cream puff, your choice of topping and then choice of filling! Also- these are baked and not fried so they are actually healthier than other dessert options which I thought was cool. There were so many yummy flavors to choose from in the case, but for my first time here I decided to try a strawberry topped cream puff with vanilla filling. It was so soft and fresh and light, it tasted amazing. The little interior of the shop is super cute too. I can't wait to come back and try more flavor combos! read more

Finally tried Beard Papa's last week after hearing about it from multiple friends. I was on my way to a small dinner engagement and ended up picking up four puffs to split with the people I was eating with. My selections were: original shell with vanilla cream, honey butter shell with vanilla cream, green tea shell with green tea cream, and strawberry shell with chocolate cream. My favorite by far was the honey butter/vanilla pairing. I tend to enjoy matcha things, but something about the cream puff flavoring felt chalky, and the shell itself was also too sweet because of the hard icing on top. The honey butter shell had the right sweetness level and balanced well with the vanilla cream. All the ingredients were fresh and service was quick when I ordered to go. Next time I come back I'll definitely grab another honey butter puff with vanilla cream, and maybe try the creme brûlée puff! read more
