    Cream puffs
    Nadia I.

    Beard papas is located in a small indoor shopping center/mall. There is a parking lot with plenty of parking and also street parking if you prefer. I have been a huge fan of Beard Papas cream puffs since I was in college. Their decadent puffs filled with your choice of vanilla, chocolate or the cream of the day are always ON POINT. Personally, I am a lover of the simple plain puff with vanilla cream but do occasionally dabble in other flavors like ube or green tea. I have NEVER had a puff or filing that I didn't love from Beard Papas. Highly recommend. I will always come back.

    Ok this was better than I thought it would be! They've got good puff pastry flavor options and sounds like three rotating custard filling flavors each day or week. Choosing a filling was hard cuz I sampled two and they were both good! I'm curious if they'd be willing to put two in one pastry for those of us that can't decide! I may ask next time I'm there. Heck, the pastry bun itself would have probably been delicious (and lighter) even without the filling. The employee helping me was very friendly!

    This location is consistently better than others I have visited. Service is excellent and friendly. The storefront is always impeccably, clean and organized. The products are very fresh and the cream puffs are freshly filled upon order. Stopped in yesterday for an Oreo cream puff filled with Vietnamese coffee custard and a strawberry puff filled with vanilla custard. Also tried the peach iced tea. That's currently available for summer and it was all absolutely delicious!

    After a pretty spicy lunch in Hayward in a weekday I yelped keyword searched "desserts" and this popped up. I've had beard papas before at the Concord location but that was stand alone location making it very small footprint and size but it has everything they the bigger regular size beard papas have no difference.This one in CV is inside the Castro Valley marketplace next to Barons meats . Seri e was very friendly and fast so the food went perfect with my strong coffee from Trom coffee. If you not familiar with Castro Valley and all the spots it has to offer this is located inside so you would never even see it driving by. Now know that it's near and there is a dumpling place also inside. Ambiance inside the market is clean , and cool place to hang with lots of tables like a cafeteria style communal area.

    Cheaper for half dozen

    Looking for something sweet but not too sweet? Its a little booth located in the corner of the marketplace. Lots of flavors to choose! Ube, matcha. Crispy and airy. I don't have to go to a mall anymore to buy these puffs. Lots of free parking in the back. So picking up for a party is no problem. Nice staff.

    Beard Papa's in Castro Valley is easily one of my favorite sweet pastry spots in the area. The cream puffs are consistently fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. My favorite so far has been the Chocolate Banana Cream Puff--it has the perfect balance of flavor. The chocolate and banana pair beautifully, and what I loved most is that it's not too sweet, which makes it incredibly easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. The shell was crispy on the outside and soft inside, and the cream was smooth, cool, and just the right amount. You can really tell they care about quality here--the fillings taste fresh, and the texture is spot on. The service was great, and it's conveniently located inside a small grocery mall. Whether you're a dessert person or not, I'd highly recommend stopping by and trying the Chocolate Banana. It's unique, satisfying, and the kind of treat you think about long after it's gone. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors!

    New (to me) location in Castro Valley Marketplace. Came early to get my birthday treat with my Philz coffee (couple stores down) The marketplace has community tables open to the public

    frozen mango puff
    Tessa V.

    So happy to learn that there's a Beard Papa's inside the Castro Valley Marketplace! Not sure how I missed it before. The lady working the counter today was so sweet and friendly, and even made sure to separate our cream puffs and let us know which ones to store in the fridge or the freezer if we aren't eating them right away. I got the original cream puff with the vanilla cream and it was so good! This is what I usually get because I love the flavor of the original vanilla cream. My partner tried the Frozen Mango Puff which has a mango yogurt cream inside. It was interesting, the cream is very tart and feels like ice cream - I would want to try another frozen cream puff flavor. Also they have cream flavors of the day, so hopefully next time I'll come on a Friday so I can try the green tea cream!

    S'mores and chocolate lava, each $7

    Located in the Castro Valley marketplace across from 7 Hills Bakery. Tried the specialty S'mores cream puff and the chocolate lava cake (both about $7). These definitely fulfilled my hankering for dessert this weekend.

    Oreo Crumble Shell, Churro Shell, Strawberry Shell, Chocolate Eclair Shell, Honey Butter Shell, Ube Shell
    Terrysue T.

    Came here a few weeks ago when they had a promotion! Ordered six cream puffs and got a free frozen mango yogurt puff! That flavor was SOOO good!! The day I was there, their Flavor (filling) of the day was ube! I love ube so of course I had to get that filling in at least one of my cream puffs! I ordered the ube shell and the churro shell filled with ube filling. I then ordered vanilla filling for the strawberry, chocolate, cookie crumble, and honey butter shells! All of them tasted so good! I also like that they are generous with the amount of filling inside! The filling oozes out when you bite into the cream puff!

    It's a little place tucked away in the corner of the Castro Valley marketplace. I've been going to the marketplace for years and never knew that this beard and Papas was here. The two ladies behind the counter were super friendly and explained all the different flavors. I loved that they had the Ube Matcha And not just the traditional vanilla and chocolate. We did get the vanilla and chocolate along with the Ube and they're all my favorite now make it a point to visit when you're in Castro Valley you will not be disappointed.

    Marie S.

    Ube with matcha filling is my favorite combo. The slight bitterness of the matcha cuts the sweetness of the ube topping. Removed a star due to the cream leaking out of the puff as I was eating it. Maybe that means they are very generous with the filling!

    Original, green tea, churro and chocolate covered puffs
    Juicke C.

    Beard Papa a kiosk in the midst of Castro Valley Marketplace where many vendors have similar stands. This is a special Asian pastry puff that offers a variety of fillings injected into the puff. There are many puff with different topping such as green tea, chocolate, strawberry, etc. and fillings changes daily. On this day, Ube was the one and vanilla is the standard. This week was an elite Yelp event so two puff of choice were complimentary and I purchased two additional. I chose the original, chocolate, green tea and churro. The original filled with Ube and the others vanilla. The puffs are great. I have always enjoyed the green tea and chocolate topped puff. I only wish they offer more choices on the filling than limited to the two. The service person was very helpful, friendly and informative. I definitely will come back for more.

Not only are you able to purchase from their bakery case, you can also request to have desserts made for special events! (In advance of course.) I very much enjoy their macarons and fresh fruit tarts. They also added Banana Matcha to their menu when it became a craze, and I 10/10 would recommend it. They use high quality matcha powder (Marukyu Koyamaen) for their drinks. This is one of the few things that drew me into their cafe. The baristas are extremely friendly and have a wonderful sense of humor, AND they support small businesses! While you wait for your order, you can browse their shelf full of crystal candies, matcha sets, candles, and they may also have Natsume matcha tins available! (This is not the matcha they use in their drinks, but it's nice to have other options available to buy.) ^^ So if you're in the East Bay and are looking for a business to support, go to Always Yours Bakery Cafe (they're also available on the Too Good To Go app)! They have beautiful outdoor seating available, as well as cutesy seating indoors. Not sponsored or anything, I just wanted to review one of my favourite cafes in Castro Valley. ^^

The Black Tea Cheese Cream was visibly an inch below the brim of the cup. The Durian Sago, was very obviously under filled as shown in the picture. When we questioned the employee about the durian drink, he said that he had forgotten to fill it up all the way. It was so obvious that he should have noticed when he put the cup into the sealing machine or even when he gave it to us. Not only that, the drinks were disappointing. Before it tasted authentic and with actual tea. Now for the black tea cheese cream drink, it tasted like milk with sugar. The mango sago and durian sago drinks tasted like diluted milk and in the first gulp all the sago was gone. Never going here again.

    Overview: Small parking lot, small shop, big flavors…read more ---- A few outside tables and one inside bench, it can get a little chilly sitting outside esp in th Opening up a location in alameda Very beautiful presentation of all of the pastries and I'm SO, SO happy that they have prices on all of their items!! They offer a unique fusion of Asian flavors with classic French pastries. ---- Pistachio Kataifi Croissant $9.50 - croissant is filled with kataifi and topped with pistachio cream and crushed pistachios - the croissant itself was a little too salty for me and I think it needs the sweetness of the pistachio cream on top - the croissant was still crispy at room temperature, but tasted better heated up - I would recommend air frying it or rebaking it instead of microwaving it bc the kataifi gets soggy ---- Notes: - parking lot is small - service was really quick and friendly - a nice display case with a wide variety of items and with their prices listed!! ---- Overall: unique flavors, picture perfect pastries, I can't wait for the Alameda location to open up so I can try more of their items and their drinks!

    This place specializes in croissants and I ordered 8 different ones with an even split with savory…read moreand sweet to take home to my family and we were all able to try a bite of everything. I wish I wrote down what I ordered but luckily, I did take a picture. I ordered: Ham and Cheese, Almond, French Custard, Black Sesame, Passion Fruit Ganache, Cheese and Mushroom, Shrimp, and lastly, a kouign-amann. They also had a pastrami one that I wanted to try but they were sold out. Everything was delicious and buttery, as a croissant should be. Nothing was too sweet nor too salty however, I would recommend pairing it with either a nice cup of coffee or tea. My favorite so far was the cheese and mushroom and the kuign-amann but honestly, you cant go wrong with anything. Price wise, they started around $6 each which, for the quality you are getting, I believe is fairly priced. The staff were all very lively and super friendly. Also, the smell of freshly made croissants is absolutely intoxicating. I will definitely return to try the other items as well as their coffee.
