Beard Papa Grand Opening week, did not want to wait in the reported 2 hour lines so went the Tuesday @ 3:30 pm after the Friday Grand Opening. No lines, went right up to the cashier and ordered a dozen creme puffs, after tip, total bill was $60.39. Good size shell, the size of a baseball. Alot of the shells that are dipped were not available, lots of people waiting even though you can walk up and order. I'll give them a mulligan for being a new establishment, they are still trying to figure out their efficiency. Order 3 - Original Shell with vanilla, classic and can't go wrong. Ordered 3 - Strawberry Shell with vanilla filling, definitely a winner. Ordered 3 - Chocolate Eclair Shell with vanilla filling, another winner. Ordered 3 - Original Shell with chocolate filling, bingo! I prefer the vanilla filling because that is the classic creme puffs. Work out the kinks in faster service and this place will be a winner, also the price is a little steep, 12 creme puffs for $60, $5 a creme puff is getting up there. Good luck and hope they make it. read more

Beard Papas is good. Nice and light dessert. They are huge cream puffs that you can mix and match the shells with the filling. Some are just bland BUT I love their honey shell with vanilla or chocolate filling. It's delicious! I also love that they have a rotating flavor. I've been multiple times and I've gotten ube, creme brûlée, and bananas foster. On the last 2, they actually flambé it for you! The downside is that they're expensive! Almost $5 per cream puff. It is a big portion though! Tip: They run out towards the end of the night so make sure you get in early to get some of the best-selling flavors! read more

ALERT! New treat spot in town! Beard papas is a Japanese cream puff shop in Scottsdale Quarter. They are grab and go and have some out door seating, like 3-4 tables. The staff is very friendly and you can see them baking and proofing the pate a choux dough! For the shells they have ones covered in chocolate, strawberry, matcha, honey almond, or plain. Then for the cream filling they have chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar boba, and matcha. Don't let the size of the cream puffs scare you! They are light and honestly I could have eaten three! read more

Disappointed. We ordered the creme brûlée and strawberry with vanilla filling. Both had no taste, bland is the only way to describe both of them I could not even taste the strawberry when I picked off a piece of strawberry coating off the top The choux pastry was excellent. It had a solid crunch when I bite into it. The pastry was not soggy after we took it home to eat. read more

Ice cream the shakes the teas. Everything is amazing here. If you're going to get anything before you leave definitely get a cream puff. It's a great experience. Very unique. read more

Yay finally Beard Papas in Arizona!! Beard Papas is one of my favorite cream puff stores, I could only have em when I'm back in California, but now I don't need to stop my cream puff cravings. Woot woot! It is located at Scottsdale Quarter, right outside of the Southside (as far as I remember) garage parking, so it's super convenient. Oh and they told me that besides their three original filling flavors, there is fourth flavor, which is blueberry for this month! And they have new flavor every month, so I'm curious what it's gonna be in August :) read more

Sooo good!! I got a cream puff dipped in chocolate with some browned marshmallows on top, and filled it with chocolate cream. Absolutely delightful. The puff was buttery and tasted just so good! The cream was the perfect in between of light and thick, which a delicious chocolate flavor. I was only going to eat half of it, because I'm gluten-free, but it was so good I finished it off. Definitely going to regret it later. But I will be back for more. With different puff options and 4 different cream fillings, this place exceeded my expectations! read more

Beard Papa’s - Smore's Puff with Chocolate Cream - Bakeries Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

TLDR: Very disappointed with our last order of cream puffs that are typically quite pricey. Significant decline in quality since the last time we were here and will not be returning. I will preface this by saying we've been here a few times prior and were always blown away with how good these pastries were. This time we had come in to pick up our pack of 6 cream puffs after winning their Instagram giveaway. The man behind the counter examined the coupon for a long time before accepting it (which is fine). He also informed us they did not have their new Hazelnut filling (also fine). When we got home and dug into our cream puffs the outside was very stale and nothing like before. I'm leaning towards the possibility that we were given old cream puffs because we won the giveaway and didn't have to pay for them. Regardless of whether this was intentional or not, we will not be returning because either the worker was spiteful or the product quality has significantly deteriorated. At this price, there is way too many other options to give this a second thought. We did also try their brown sugar boba milk tea, which I believe is new, and was surprisingly quite good! Unfortunately, that is also quite pricey without the BOGO deal and unable to change my overall opinion of this place. read more

Very bizarre encounter with the worker. We came in today at around 8:30pm and there was no music playing, the worker was on his phone. We ordered off the self service machine and when the worker came to get the order he looked at me and asked me if I was a cop. I said "no, why" and he said nothing and proceeded to make our order. He kept mad dogging me. I felt very uneasy as if the worker was on drugs. I do not feel comfortable coming here again after this encounter. read more

Wow. Best yummy little treat that exceeded all expectations. No words. Must try it yourself.

Fantastic cream puffs, I got out Oreo, strawberry shortcake, and vanilla, all filled with vanilla. I'm going back tomorrow to get a few more

This place is fun the pastries are delicious. The drinks are great! Would definitely recommend and will be back soon

The cream puffs are good. Fast service but I usually go later in the evening if I'm in the quarter.

It was delicious! Vanilla was my favorite. Kinda pricey though. Had to wait a couple minutes for my pickup order that should've been ready when I arrived. Staff was nice. Store smelled amazing. Wanted to try everything! Overall, I wouldn't go back again. read more

Beard Papa’s - 6 pack- 3 vanilla and 3 chocolate - Bakeries Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I have been excited about this place since it opened up! I can be picky about cream puffs but was excited to see all of the different options. I was going to get a strawberry shell with chocolate filling, but the ladies working there convinced us to get the churro shell with chocolate filling. It was pretty good! The cream I think was a bit much for me personally, but the shell is good and I'm glad that I tried it. This is a cool unique addition to scottsdale quarter! read more

So, this was a bad experience for us. We got 6 minis with original vanilla custard in them. They were stale and tasted like old cream. One comment from our group - it tasted like old cheese and cardboard. Service was meh. Cute photo wall. read more

Best believe me when I tell you this is the world's GREATEST cream puff! I like that you get to basically customize your own cream puff and Beard Papa does not hold back on the filling. The churro topping with vanilla filling was AMAZING! I'm gonna need Beard Papas to expand all over the valley ASAP! read more

I love me some Beard Papa's. All I can say is that I am so glad this location is far away from where I live. It is nice that I don't have to get on a plane to get to one, but if it were any closer, and given the whole pandemic thing, I'd have to run a couple hundred miles a week to burn off the puffs that I could consume. I have been to many locations and have tried most of the cream flavors and shells. My favorite is the plain shell with vanilla. I can easily eat a half dozen with a cup of coffee... maybe tossing a chocolate-filled one or an eclair shell in there for variety. Seriously, this place is dangerous. For best experience, eat the puffs immediately, but definitely don't take them home and let them sit around. The whole point is the contrast between the cream and the crispy pastry. Once you load the puff with cream, the clock starts ticking: The passage of time leads to sogginess and sogginess leads to sadness! I don't think that you can go wrong with any combination here, though I am not a huge fan of the horchata filling -- don't get me wrong, I *love* horchata, but the vanilla is still my favorite, followed by chocolate... then maybe a tie for matcha and mango. There was a mocha flavor several years back that was pretty epic, too... and if you like strawberries or peaches, look for those, too. I swear each time I hit the SF location over the span of nearly a decade it was "mango week." Always ask about the rotating flavor, though, especially if you find yourself at an international location. :) read more

Beard Papas cream puff has been my must have at every visit to California or Tokyo. I've been waiting for the grand opening day and really wanted to be there on that day. I was afraid how busy they were going to be so I waited a month to visit this store. It wasn't that busy when I went on Friday evening. Menu is easy to understand. Well I knew what I wanted before I arrived anyway..., It took them a while to get my order ready but I guess they have some getting used to their job. I always eat one regular cream puff. It would be so easy to eat two but I know how I would feel if I eat two. One is just perfect. Leaving me the feeling of wanting more. That's why I keep coming back for more cream puff. One bite, oh that's so heavenly. I used to eat a few times a year but now they are so close, who knows? I really should watch what I eat but I can always reward myself for something good. I am so happy they finally decided to come to Arizona. read more

GIANT CREAM PUFFS Walked in right up to the counter and the guy was enthusiastic and welcoming. He gave us a couple recommendations which we ended up ordering. He was also nice enough to offer us a puff he messed up earlier. We got the honey butter shell with vanilla filling and churro shell with Vietnamese coffee filling. Both puffs tasted great. Overall, if you want a giant cream puff, this is the place for you. read more

When I heard that telltale sound on my phone that I had a text message I checked it to find one of our longtime friends saying "We are at Beard Papa would you like anything?" Naturally my response was: Whaaaaaaaaaaat Beard Papa?!! Yes please!! Ever since I had my first crispy crunchy cream puffy bite at a Beard Papa in San Francisco I've been hooked! Way back then they only had the "original" uncoated shell offering with your choice of various flavors, including a flavor of the week. Now they've expanded to different coating options and even different non-cream puff desserts such as fondant and cheese cake. I got a 6 pack of three flavors (Vanilla, chocolate, green tea), half original shell and half chocolate coated shell. They tasted just as good as the other locations I've had the good fortune of eating at! The shell was light, crisp, and buttery while the creamy fillings were plentiful, a whipped sweet flavored delight. Unfortunately despite requesting two separate containers for two separate orders everything was all jammed into a large cardboard box and then a small paper bag with no rhyme or reason but hey no biggie we sorted everything out at home. My friends waited about an hour in line for these tasty treats! For me personally I'll wait for a bit until the hype dies down before trekking out to North Scottsdale to get my own order but for now I have these delicious delectables at home for me to snack on this weekend! I'm so grateful to have good friends here. Oishii! read more

It has finally made it to Arizona and I am so glad. I used to get it often back in California. This location is super cute, did not have a waiting line when I went and was able to sit on the one of the few tables outside to enjoy the treat! I always get the same thing: chocolate choux with green tea filling. The choux was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The filling was as delicious as I remembered. They are of decent size and I think its best if you eat it soon after buying it otherwise the choux might get soggy from the cream filling. read more

The line at Beard Papas for the grand opening was worth the wait. I loved the idea of customizing the cream puffs. Genius. I ended up ordering 2, green tea eclair with boba brown sugar filling and honey butter eclair with vanilla filling. Woaaa , a lot for the taste buds to handle. The boba brown sugar is next level and will be my go-to going forward read more

Well I can't speak about the food here but the service is beyond horrible. My husband and I stopped in this past Sunday in Kierland Commons. We walked in and it was empty. There was a guy behind the register glued to his phone. There was a girl behind the counter as well who looked at us twice but said nothing. We walked to the register to order and the guy was still zoned out on his phone. Didn't notice two customers standing right in front of him. We literally stood there for at least 2 min hoping to be acknowledged. Nope. Not even the girl Said anything. The dude finally looked up at noticed us but just stared at us. It was so bizarre. My husband said I'd like to order something and the guy said something under his breath but it was completely mumbled like he was on some sort of drug. Both employees were like this. My husband said never mind and walked out. I was so mad. I said to the guy, I guess you don't want our money? But he continued to look at me with an empty stare. Again I said we just stood here for at least 3 minutes while you and your sidekick were zoned out and you're on your bacteria covered phone serving food to customers. Totally unaware of us. Then my husband said he wanted to order something and you just looked at him clueless. That's ridiculous. Still he was empty and had nothing to say. Just looked at me like I wasn't there. So I left. So so bizarre. Also, it was probably a blessing because the place was filthy and the counter with the cream puffs was so dirty with fingerprints that you could barely see what was inside. Super gross-ness read more

Tonight at 7:20pm I walked into this establishment and waited almost 10 mins calling for someone in the back. Finally a guy comes in from the front door and proceeds to reprimand my son who was still trying to call for someone in the back. I told him that was very rude of him to talk to my son the way he was being that we were waiting for almost 10 mins and we were actually concerned that maybe something happened to the employee in the back. He continued to argue and not even apologize. We left and didn't give your establishment our business nor will we ever after this interaction! Maybe your employee needs to not be strolling the street and leaving your business empty and if he is put a sign out to let customers know when they will be returning. read more

I first had Beard Papas in Asia (Japan, plus others). Love their marketing aesthetic and of course, also love the food. This spot was completley dead when I stopped by yesterday, on the way back to my car. Having only rarely eaten a Beard Papas' cream puff while living in LA, I decided "why not" and got the simple standard cream puff w/ vanilla filling. Employees were friendly enough. The - 1 star is that these things are MESSY...and when I got mine to go and in a bag, they didn't put any napkins in?? So...as expected, the damn thing exploded all over me -- we're talking both hands, face/chin, and on BOTH legs of my pants (a testament to the quantity of filling, I suppose?) and I was honestly a bit miffed to see they gave me a bag but NO napkins. And no napkins on the counter when I checked out, or else I'd have certainly grabbed a few (prior experience tells me I'll get Beard Papas all over myself...). But nope. Huge f'ing mess. Also delicious. But...huge f'ing mess. Give us napkins, dude! read more

I dont know about everyone eles but I never heard of a cream puff before but this place look interesting allways down to try somthing new so I went in there was noone at the counter after a few minutes a girl came out with a scowl on her face And with the nasty attitude what do you want I am I asked her what are these things are they like a like a pop over She said there are a cream puff and ask what is a cream buff and she just pointed So I'm like OK well give me one of those and she's like what feeling do you want I'm like there's a choice and and I nasty attitude most people get vanilla I would get vanilla So I went with her suggestion Yes so I don't know what her deal was but extremely rude very short I mean said thank you and she's turned around and walked away fortunately the cream puff was actually pretty good at least the cream was The pastry itself was so so Pretty sure I'll never go back though what a horrible experience read more

Beard Papa’s - green tea puff, chocolate puff, regular puff - Bakeries Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Super cute place, we came right before closing on a Saturday and it still was kind of busy. We got three different flavors and the order came out fast and in a nice yellow box. The shells were crispy on the outside and then there's a nice gooey filling! My filling spilled out when I took a bite, maybe I held it wrong but I still ate it all up. It isn't overly sweet and almost doesn't feel like a dessert, but still a fun place to go and try flavors. If you like cream puffs already then you'll love this. My favorite was just chocolate and my husband liked the creme brûlée read more

Beard Papa’s - Some shells and the filling station - Bakeries Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've had Beard Papa's in the Bay long enough to get sick of it, so was surprised one opened in Scottsdale the other weekend. Maybe it's from trying harder on opening, but this location tasted a lot better I remembered. Easy model - pick your shell + filling, with a couple seasonal options and some pre-made desserts. Classic way to go is probably original + vanilla cream, but you got options like green tea, strawberry, and chocolate that are usually in rotation. One new flavor I saw was brown sugar boba - which was out by the time I came around dinner time. Like I said, better than I remembered - the shells were all super light, and the cream sweetness was well balanced. They're definitely big enough to be split - so bring a couple and go halfsies or have it another meal. Scottsdale's been making a bigger push for expanding Asian cuisines in general, but Beard Papa's in Quarter just makes sense. Easy customizable desserts at an affordable price great for all ages. read more

As soon as I saw they opened on tik tok I had to drive all the way from Tucson. They have the CUTEST inside decor and makes perfect photo ops. However, ordering is another story. There is no one to help regulate the line or how the ordering process worked. We kinda just stood outside and when we see people move from ordering line (left side of the store) to pick up line (right side) is when we walked inside. No covid restriction was applied or how many people were inside they are sticker in the ordering line but nowhere else such as waiting area and workers did wear their masks. It takes a little bit of time but the amazing news is if you are makeup lovers a Sephora is right across the street or if you need something Boba is right next door to the left. The other disappointing factor is we came at opening 11am and they were already out of brown sugar boba and all of dessert section of the menu. This was first week they opened and it's disappointing we came so early and they weren't prepared much. Now for the flavoring the shell is so flakey however I would recommend the honey butter or plain if you don't like over too sweet or strong flavor. The strawberry and green tea was very strong shell flavoring and took away from the filling. I will say out of the four we ordered my favorite was butter honey with vanilla filling it was the perfect combination. I had left over and they traveled fine from Phoenix to Tucson. read more

Don't waste your time. Wife and child visited here today for the first time. Employee refused to greet them. They were the only people in the store. If you can't teach employees to greet customers you have major issues. Never blame some kid behind the counter...always blame management for not setting a super low bar expectation. I highly recommend people finding a different option in the area. read more
