I love Beard Papa's as it's another dessert option that's not ice cream. I ordered the original cream puff and thought it was delicious. They have a few seats to sit there but it's more of a grab and go place. It is a shared restaurant with a tea store so you are able to get a tea and cream puff in the same place. They have lots of flavors like chocolate, smores, green tea, creme brulee and cookies and cream. Definitely something for everyone! read more

Good option to stop by for quick dessert! I had the Honey Butter eclair cream puff and I loved it!! So good! I also tried the Green Tea flavor as well. The space is shared with Teazzi and there are seats so you can enjoy your drink + cream puffs at the same time. I would recommend trying if you want a light snack on Newbury Street. read more

Beard Papa's shares a location with Teazzi which is cool that you can grab something from both. I went with the original cream puff and the chocolate cream puff. They are filled after you order which is nice that they aren't just sitting there. They also had specialty flavors which I recommend trying out. They have a screen near the door where you can order which is convenient during their busy times. read more

I remembered seeing this new place on Newbury and becoming intrigued. It looked very inviting and who doesn't love cream puffs?! Inside is a very interesting layout. They have a large step-like seating area with cushions where you can enjoy the food and drinks offered. In addition to the cream puffs vendor, they have a tea shop where you can purchase a drink to go along with your dessert! Great business move. The puffs themselves are great, the custard is light and airy while simultaneously not overly sweet. They have lots of flavor options for the eclair shells like chocolate, strawberry and this green tea one we tried. It did have a taste reminiscent of white chocolate, which is yummy. I feel like this place is worth stopping at while looking around Newbury street, there aren't many places like it and I like that you can grab a single puff instead of paying for a whole box. TL;DR: Good place for a quick sweet treat if you're in the mood. Approved read more

Thursday, January 22, 2026 around 8:30 pm. The female cashier acted like we were some second class citizens, too unworthy of her service. As if we were some pickup/delivery personnel too below her level. Though, even if we were indeed mere pickup/delivery personnel, she should still at minimal show some basic human decency and some greetings or a mere smile at the very minimal. read more

Beard papa's is such a treat. The pastries are premade and once you place the order are filled. The vanilla custard is simple but you can't go wrong with this classic. Dubai chocolate was a new flavor I haven't tried before, it was ok the chocolate shell was set pretty hard so was pretty messy to eat. Tiny spot with limited service, ideal for grab and go. read more

EDIT: The business owner reached out to make amends and I was able to go back for the same order and it went great this time (forgot to take photos) - and I was able to get the event stickers as well. I ordered the limited edition Hololive event cream puff set because it looked tasty even though I ran into 2 red flags while ordering - 1. the menu kept flashing through different screens every second so it was hard to order, and 2. the girl at the counter didn't seem to know what she was doing (couldn't answer what the event set was so I had to take a pic of the screen). When I got home with the set I found all the cream puffs were underfilled with all oreo custard instead of different ones. There was no explanation of anything being unavailable while I was ordering and the puffs were definitely only half filled at best. And she didn't even give me the stickers that were supposed to be included! A handwritten sign in the store said they'd be available by 1/9. The store was completely empty the entire time I was there so it wasn't even an issue of being busy. I overpaid for these puffs AND gave a big tip for no reason. read more

Got to stop in here on newbury and it's a great place to grab a boba and some cream puffs and run! I personally enjoyed the ube topped puff with vanilla filling! The creamy and buttery texture was great! The matcha def brings the full body of the green tea out earthy and all. The frozen mango is cold cold and actually frozen haha. I was expecting more of an ice cream consistency, that was a tough eat for me in contrast to the puff pastry it's put into. I would personally stick to the normal cream fillings those were bomb! Thats just my taste tho i have sensitive teeth haha. Thank you Beard papa's will be back! read more

I grew up eating Beard Papa in San Francisco and was so happy when they decided to open up a location here. There's additional flavors that I haven't had before, like the frozen mango (which was great!), but you can never go wrong with the original or chocolate cream puffs. It shares a store with Teazzi so the seating area can be kind of small/awkward read more

Got the creme brulee cream puff. It was kind of confusing reading the menu because it tells me to pick the puff, and pick the filling. But they said the creme brulee already comes with the vanilla filling. It was delicious overall. Cream was delicious. The crisp on the puff/sugar was on point. Loved it. read more

Great place for a tasty snack during your Newbury shopping! Food: My first creme puff here was great! It had a light fluffy cream, flaky pastry, and a flavorful frosting topping. The frosting was a great addition to the mild sweetness of the base cream puff and really made it a proper sweet treat. Service: The employees were very pleasant nothing to complain about. Atmosphere: It's a pretty small space shared with another food vendor and the seating area is interesting to say the least. Beside that the mascot and decoration is very inviting. read more

The best cream puffs I ever had! I got the matcha puff and an original puff that comes with the grand opening coupon. They only have the vanilla bean custard right now and it is so light and perfectly sweetened. The custard is a perfect ratio to the puff pastry and it is such a light and fluffy treat. I had the matcha puff right away and I really enjoyed the matcha chocolate on top of the pastry, I think it makes such a good combo with the custard. I saved the original puff for the next day and I ate it right out the fridge. It was still so delicious and the puff pastry was still good! My only critique is that when I went they laid out all the puffs right next to the customers with no plastic or glass or any barrier. So we were literally standing right over the puffs which doesn't seem sanitary at all. read more

The pastry is crunchy. The matcha glaze on top is a bit too sweet for my taste but the matcha filling balances it out. Worth the try but I'm not sure if I would get it again. The store houses both Beard Papa's and Teazzi. There are a couple of tables but it's small place. There was no wait when I went on a Monday afternoon. read more

I hadn't heard of this brand before it opened up this location in Boston. I waited in line with some friends for the grand opening and received a tote bag, water bottle, and two coupons. On the opening day I ordered an original filling with a chocolate outside and one with a matcha outside. The chocolate outside was great, however, the matcha one tasted more like a white chocolate than a matcha flavor. The matcha outside had a very sweet taste that didn't quite pair as I would have liked best with the original filling. I know that the opening day menu is a bit different and didn't have all of the options, so I also returned for another day and ordered a matcha filling with an original outside. The matcha filling was great and had a light and airy quality to it. I was somewhat surprised to find that there was a spending minimum to use the coupons I had been given on the opening day...other than this I look forward to returning and trying any of the other flavors they come out with! read more

Beard Papa's - Opening day - Desserts Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm pleasantly surprised! Puff pastries are made in house and have a choice of vanilla or matcha cream. I make cream puffs at home and wanted to compare, so I got plain stuffed with vanilla. The vanilla cream was too sweet for me, but the pastry part was perfect. I'd definitely come back to try the matcha cream, but I think the other puff toppings (strawberry glaze, Oreo, etc) would be too overwhelming. The inside doesn't have traditional tables to sit at, rather a raised platform with block seats. We just opted to eat standing which wasn't the most comfortable. Also there was a lack of napkins- the cream easily gets all over your fingers so I'd suggest to have more napkins in the space. Overall, happy to see a unique desert spot on newbury. Will come back :) read more

Great to have beard papas back in Boston, and with it good cream puffs - not many other places to get tasty, large cream puffs in this city. Matcha and ube eclairs were both great, as were both the matcha and standard fillings. Price is pretty standard for cream puffs of this size, which is still a little expensive but worth the occasional treat. Doesn't hurt that it opened in shared space with Teazzi, which has been one of my favorite bubble tea shops in Chinatown - just gives me more reasons to stop by :) read more

Cream puffs are filled with a delicious cream filling. I wish they had these near me!

I am a big fan of Beard Papa's -- I always make a point to get a box of mini cream puffs when I'm in LA. When I visited in June, it seemed like their menu was pretty limited -- they only have full-sized cream puffs. I've never really been a fan of their full-sized cream puffs, but I decided to give it a try. It's in the space space as Teazzi so there's just a counter of space for its operations. We got the matcha cream puff with matcha filling. I thought that the matcha topping was good, and the cream puff was pretty good as well. The matcha filling was interestingly very liquidy. Rather than being a cream that held its own shape, it felt more like a drink. The cream puff exterior was definitely better than the filling. The main thing I liked about Beard Papa's was the mini cream puffs which have a lot of crunchy cream puff in addition to the cream inside. I probably won't be returning to this location because I'm just not a fan of the surface area to volume ratio of full-sized cream puffs, and the filling left something to be desired. read more

Tried the cookies and cream puff with vanilla ice cream . My friend had the chocolate with ice cream . ( vanilla is the only flavor) . Puffs were big and looked good. Unfortunately they were not fresh and the toppings make it almost impossible to eat since they are hard on the top of the puff . After having puffs in other places this was a let down . We also got tea from the connecting shop and that also was a let down all in all a waste of money. read more

I've been such a fan of them since I graduated high school and entered college. When I felt lonely at college, I'd take a bus back home and before my dad would pick me up at the station, I'd always stop at the Chinatown Beard Papa's to grab a cream puff! It became a sweet tradition for me as I gained confidence and found my place in college. Although the Chinatown location closed, I think we all can agree it's so exciting to have Beard Papa's back and on Newbury St. The store has such cute decorations throughout and a nice seating area to enjoy your cream puffs or boba tea from Teazzi (also recommend)! You can't go wrong with any of their cream puff options, but my favorite are the eclair cream puffs with vanilla filling. The eclair options are chocolate, strawberry, ube, matcha, cookie crumble, and s'mores! I'm super excited to come back and try them all! read more

I went into the store and noticed there were two stands. I wanted to get cream puffs, but there was no one working at the counter. I ended up waiting about 10 minutes until an employee finally came out of the milk tea section holding the cream filling. I politely asked if I could order (there was no one else in line), and she told me to use the machine. After I ordered, I expected my cream puffs to be made quickly since I had already waited quite a while. Instead, she took her time filling the cream machine before even starting my order. Long wait, poor service, and not worth it. I don't recommend. read more

Yay, always my favorite custard pastry. I used to eat this a lot from the Chinatown location which closed down. Very happy that this popped up in Newbury Street. I ordered two matchas and two chocolate covered pastries. I absolutely devoured them when I got home. What I love about the pastry puff is that isn't too heavy on the cream, I believe is Japanese so they do a good job in making the creams not so heavy . Place popular with local residence and visitors. read more

Looking for a unique tasty treat on Newbury St? Beard Papa's might fit the bill! I've heard about this place being big in Japan, so I was excited to hear that they added a Boston location. It also interestingly shares a location with a boba shop, so if you're in the mood for both you can kill two birds with one stone. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, there was only one employee working at the counter and she didn't seem very eager to take our order. She also accidentally charged us for two cream puffs instead of one, and when we corrected her it took several minutes to fix the issue on the register. Clearly a lot of the staff here are new and learning, but I wish the customer service was a bit better. Still, the food itself was good. We ordered the chocolate covered cream puff with their original vanilla cream and it hit the spot. They have a lot of other flavor varieties I'd be curious to try at some point! I'd also mention that the seating arrangements inside the store are a bit strange.. I'd recommend eating this on the go, as it's not a peaceful environment to chat/hangout unfortunately. read more

This place really how to make a cream puff. The filling is really silky and not too sweet. If you've ever tried to make pastry cream before, you know how finicky it can be to get the texture right. The cream to puff ratio is perfect and the service is fast and courteous. There isn't much seating so it's kind of a grab and go kind of place. They share the space with another vendor , which I haven't tried but looks good read more

I've tried a lot of cream puff options here, but honestly, I wouldn't strongly recommend the mango ice cream-filled one. It just doesn't capture that signature crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside texture that makes this place special. If you ask me, stick to the original cream-filled ones--they're truly delicious. So today, I'm sorry, but I'm only giving them four stars. Better luck next time with the mango! read more

Really exciting to have beard papa's nearby! They were still in their opening phase so they only offer a few flavors. The cream puffs had a TON of cream inside and had a light and crisp exterior.

I am so happy Beard Papa's is back in Boston (RIP the Chinatown location that closed during the pandemic). Beard Papa's is the best!!! When I learned about this location, I drove 20 minutes to get my fix and have been a few times since. My favorite it the crème brûlée flavor. I'm hoping they'll bring back the dulce de leche that they had at the Chinatown location previously. read more

The cream puffs are amazing. Although today the staff did not understand the concept of wearing gloves. He had the glove on, took my money. Put in the till and used the same gloved hand to grab me a cream puff. I told him no no no you touched money with that. He looked annoyed. Put on a new glove and got me another cream puff. Store owners. Please explain to your staff the point of the gloves. Especially after covid, you would think they are more aware of hygiene read more

I like Beard Papa's. I am glad it became more accessible for me back again on Newbury street. I was sad when I lost Beard Papa's in Allston when I lived close there. I usually go regular but I tried seasonal menu this time; Frozen Mango Yogurt. The taste is EXACTLY what's on the name! Tastes like frozen mango yogurt . If that is what you are looking for and want to try new flavor and texture with puff, go for it! Worth to try it one time but I will definitely go back to regular with vanilla or green tea filling for the next time! Also they have cute seating space which was great but the indoor space is very limited when you place an order, pick up and to eat in because they also share the space with Teazzi. Also, there is a kiosk to order but not all menus are available at the kiosk, so make share to look at the menu at the board or seasonal menu board if you are looking for something special. read more
