    I always come here when I visit my parents from AZ. We have gotten vanilla, chocolate, and matcha , but I prefer the standard shell and standard vanilla filling. So good, the shell is light and flaky, with a creamy filling. Our half dozen order was about $25. I think the prices have increased but I assume that is due to inflation everywhere. They have open one or two in AZ but I believe one of them already closed.

    I love these cream puffs. i dont love all cream puffs because they're not my thing, but i love these. the filling choices are wonderful with seasonal rotating flavors. also the fillling is a custard that's so smooth and creamy and refreshing when cold. cold cream puff on a hot day is excellent! try it chocolate dipped. that's my fave and go to item

    Was walking around the plaza when we decided to try Beard Papa's for the first time on a Friday around 7pm. I got one dulce de leche cream puff and it was pretty average. I would have preferred a softer crème puff as the outside was dry and hard, so the cream would almost explode with each bite. I also wish there were more filling options for the shells as they only offer chocolate, vanilla, and green tea. One crème puff was about $5, which is a bit pricey. I don't think I would return

    It's been awhile since I had a vanilla filled chocolate Beard Papa and we had to order some to go. Approximately an hour later, we cut one open and the cream was still cold which went well with our coffee!

    came by around closing and the staff was so kind to give us a complimentary one since we were the last customers of the day. decent size for the puffs and generous usage of the vanilla cream inside. puff itself can be a bit dry but i feel like the matcha really made up for that, the cream felt a bit much at times but i want to come back to try matcha cream since they had ran out

    I was working nearby with the crew and I've been waiting to get my hands on a cream puff since the last time.. I knew nobody on my work crew has ever had one so I had to figure out how to let them experience the beard papa magic without breaking the bank. I bought 4 full sized puffs and 2 mini puff cups. I wasn't sure if the mini puffs were big enough from the pictures, because I've never had them. They were definitely shareable and loaded with flavor. There is no sacrifice in going smaller lol. It's located in a super busy shopping center so parking is plentiful yet scarce here. You'll have to make a round or 2 to park but it's not the end of the world. The product and service is definitely well worth it. There's plenty of variety and I haven't been let down yet. This isn't the cheapest guilty pleasure but you'll get your money's worth, for certain. If youre ever in the area to get a BP cream puff, don't pass up your chance. This will turn anyone's day around in a positive way lol.

    My favorite place for cream puffs. Gotta says it's a bit pricey, but it is absolutely yummy. Their (classic) vanilla filling is creamy and not too sweet. Their flavor frosting is a bit on the sweet side. I like their original plain puffs the most. Store is small. Kinda nice that you can get to see some of their making. Friendly staffs.

    What a cute cream puff shop. I was helped pretty quickly upon entering the store. The they had a ton of cream puff shells stacked up and ready to be filled. I ordered a box of 6 for a friend's birthday and I decided to order one for myself. I tried the eclair cream puff with vanilla filling. It was delicious. They are very generous with the filling. The staff were very helpful and the shop is nice and clean on the inside. I'll definitely be back.

    Stopped in while in line for Izumi. I would recommend the original with vanilla but the chocolate filling with it i think it good as well. I got the chocolate shell but it wasnt satisfying bc it was too hard and cant really taste the chocolate that much. The service was very good and they answered my questions well. Would recommend for a not too sweet treat!

    Beard Papa is such a treat! The staff were friendly and accommodating, and in-store they have more flavors than the app shows (the app also has weird ordering time limits that don't exist in person--definitely could improve that). The matcha filling is a standout--smooth, rich, and delicious. Everything I tried was tasty, nicely packaged, and fresh. The plaza location is nice, with other food options nearby for a little stroll. I loved being able to mix and match fillings and toppings--makes it fun to customize. Hard to pick a favorite, but the matcha cream puff and matcha topping top my list. Eclairs are also excellent. Great spot for customizable cream puff desserts!

    I tried their matcha & chocolate cream puffs for the first time and It didn't disappoint. I've never been a fan of sweets, but these were good. My favorite was the matcha cream puff. Great Japanese cream puffs, not overly sweet!

    Horrible Customer Service. I asked the Mexican guy with tattoos which flavor would you prefer... He answers with an attitude " it all depends up to you". No shit Sherlock, I was asking for his suggestion . After the interaction he stares me down like he wants to fight. OWNERS you need to hire more friendly and professional employees. Especially being in this area. This employee is a perfect fit for East San Jose...

    It was yummy! The filling was more like ice cream. They were large and easily shareable. It was a fun dessert to try if you are in the area.

    Could I order online and do curbside pick up?

    Yes

    Is this business taking phone calls? The phone keeps ringing or disconnects immediately...

    The same happened to me as well so I came in person. On the day I went, they were late to open, only had two people working, and my online order was cancelled. They could be overwhelmed and/or under staffed.

    How often do u make the milk tea flavor? And if I do an order of a dozen or 2 dozen of mini puff, would u be able to make that seasonal/temporary flavor and another another regular flavor? e.g., 12 milk tea and 12 green tea to make a 2 dozen?

    It's seasonal. No milk tea flavor. This month (Oct) is caramel pumpkin then next month is apple.

The shop has a bright, clean interior with a casual atmosphere that makes it an easy place to stop for a refreshing dessert. Seeing stacks of fresh mangoes behind the counter immediately gave me confidence that the fruit would be one of the highlights of the experience. The mango desserts were easily the best part of my visit. I tried the Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which combined sweet mango, creamy coconut milk, chewy sago, and fresh pomelo for a refreshing balance of flavors and textures. I also enjoyed the Mango Chewy Ball, where the fresh mango and smooth mango juice paired perfectly with the soft, chewy rice balls. Both desserts felt light while still being satisfying, making them a great option on a warm day. I also had the chance to try a few of the other menu items. The mango mochi was fresh and soft, with ripe mango wrapped inside a delicate chewy layer. For something different, the spicy chili fish balls offered a savory contrast to the fruit desserts, adding a bit of heat and a springy texture that balanced out all of the sweetness. The ordering process was quick and straightforward, and my food arrived not long after I found a table. The dining area was clean and comfortable, and small touches like providing wet wipes made the experience feel a little more thoughtful. It is the kind of place where you can stop in for a quick dessert or stay a little longer while sharing a few different items with friends. Overall, Hui Lau Shan is a great spot for anyone looking for fresh, fruit-forward desserts with authentic Hong Kong flavors. The quality of the mangoes, the variety of textures, and the relaxed atmosphere made it a place I would happily return to whenever I was craving something refreshing.

We got the red bean and the strawberry flavors - the portions were very large for a bay-area reasonable price of less than $15 item. It was my first visit and honestly, I was a bit disappointed; while there were lots of fresh fruits, I found the flavor bland and not sweet enough - which may be someone's jam? I wished it had more condensed milk to give it a more creamy flavor. The shaved ice was beautiful and fluffy - i'd say this is the main draw that may bring me back to try new flavors. There is plenty of seating inside for tables of two or even small groups. Parking can be difficult since many popular establishments are in the same strip mall so plan ahead for parking time.

When we've brought it to social gatherings in the past, it's also always a hit. Their other desserts, like their lemon bars, french napoleon, and turtle cheesecake, are also major hits. So when it was time for my wedding, I knew I had to get my cake from them! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. They offer cake tasting boxes that include their most popular flavors. However, we had a specific taste profile in mind and asked if they could custom make the samples for us - they said yes without hesitation and didn't charge us extra! The samples were delicious and the pickup process was easy. We went with a ribbon cake (chocolate and vanilla) with fresh strawberries, whipped cream filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting.

It was a 3-layer vanilla cake filled with lemon mousse, covered in buttercream and white chocolate bark pieces, and topped with 10 blueberries. This flavor can be found on their website catalog. I don't know if this is typical for this bakery, but the cake was heavy, claggy on the bottom, and way too sweet. The lemon mousse tasted incredibly strange, as if it were artificial or maybe had some kind of herb or weird flavoring added. The less said about the cream, the better. The white chocolate was quite good though. I saw they had a wide variety of cake offerings, but I don't think I'd want cake from here again. I might get the choux pastry again.
