I first ate one of these deletable treats in Shanghai, China. Ever since then, I have been in love with them. Then when it first opened in Manhattan, I was more than happy to travel to the city just to get a box for my family every month or two. Eventually, this location opened up and I was ecstatic. Over the years, I have come here for their cream puffs many times, and introduce them to many family and friends. Original is still by far my favorite. Unfortunately, my most recent purchases have been disappointing. There was less cream and the shell was not as crispy. I hope they regain their old ways before they lose long time customers like myself. read more

Creampuffs have an unassuming elegance. A humble golden dome crown that belies the richness within. A perfectly crisp exterior, christened with a dusting of powdered sugar like the first frost of winter. Inside, a voluptuous cream that exists both light and airy, and yet dense and rich. A cloud of perfection. Each bite an experience in texture and taste, crispiness of the pastry and cool, luxurious cream. Beard Papa is the reliable and quintessential standard. read more

Ordered the very berry crepe and it came with a side of icecream. To be honest the best thing in the whole meal was the icecream. The berries were very tart and the crepe was hard. Maybe another menu item is better but for the crepe it's a no go for me. read more

Beard Papa's - Inside - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

The first time I had Beard Papa's was yearssss ago in Boston and when I heard that they had a location in Queens, I was so excited. This one is located on the basement level of Skyview Mall, towards the end where you would turn in for the supermarket. It's kind of easy to miss since they also share the space with Gong Cha. There's a few seats for you inside for those who want to eat it there but it's more of a grab and go item. They take your order and fill the shells with cream on the spot so it's basically made fresh to order. It also keeps the shell crispy so there's a lovely texture contrast when you eat it with the delicious filling. I love their cream puffs cause they don't skimp on the cream (it literally oozes out with each bite). I also love their flavored shells (taro, oreo, strawberry, etc.) cause the glaze is delicious and does capture its intended flavor. The cream inside is also yummy. I highly recommend eating it as soon as possible, if not immediately, for prime freshness. I usually eat it within minutes of getting it (especially in the summer when it's suuuper hot out) and it does not disappoint! read more

Beard Papa's cream puffs always have a special place in my heart. They're light, fluffy, and airy - basically, everything a cream puff should be. Over the years, I've sampled a variety of their small cream puffs, and they never disappoint. On a recent visit, I decided to try their green tea cream puff and strawberry cream puff. Both came out slightly cold, making them the perfect snack for a hot summer day. * Strawberry Cream Puff ($4.2) The best way I can describe this is like strawberry Pocky in cream puff format. Fluffy, light, and airy - it's like biting into a strawberry cloud. Didn't realize this was a limited flavor when I tried this but super happy I got it. Prefer this better than the green tea flavor. * Green Tea Cream Puff ($4.1) The green tea topping/glaze has a strong white chocolate taste rather than green tea. I was hoping for a bolder green tea flavor here. Good thing I filled it with green tea, which was pretty standard - think green tea Pocky vibes. If you haven't tried Beard Papa's yet, you're seriously missing out. These cream puffs are a dream come true! read more

I didn't even know there is a location in Queens; only know the locations in Manhattan. The locations in Manhattan are not very convenient for me unless I'm in the area. This location is in the basement of the Skyview mall. It shares a location with Gong Cha and it's across the Fay Da Bakery so it's easy to miss. It has been open for 5 years and I didn't know. The employee was very nice and let me take my time deciding what I wanted. I decided to get a strawberry cream puff and green tea cream puff. Strawberry cream puff is a special flavor for the year. Can't go wrong with the green tea cream puff. My cream puffs were a bit squished though it still taste great and not too sweet. One note: with the impending heat wave coming, it's not recommended to walk out with the cream since it will spoil. I was lucky that today's weather is still beautiful. Enjoy! read more

The puffs were pretty decent. Shell was crunchy (sometimes they are soft and stale), filling was an OK amount. Nothing crazy about the flavor especially the monster hunter cola which had a hint of cola flavor. Whats really crazy is they charge you 70 cents for a box when you order more than 4 or 5. They don't even tell you. At least build it into the price of your products. If I got a dozen donuts from any donut chain, the price goes down and they don't charge you for the box. Crazy business model!! read more

I don't remember the cream puffs being so cold. The green tea was flavorful but nothing special. The s'mores had vanilla custard and it was average. I liked that the custard is light, smooth and airy. read more

My friend grabbed these puffs on her way back from NYC. After an 4-hour drive, these puffs still tasted great. I don't really know the names of the puffs so I'll just break them down by color. Chocolate looking puff: the cream and the chocolate complement each other so well! The cream oozes out from the side after each bite. Green looking puff: the taste was good. This was the only puff that I heated it up a bit and the flavors are still there. Pink looking puff: my mom ate the pink one and said every bite was rich in flavor. I really liked the fact that each bite essentially had three layers of flavor: sweet, creamy, and a bit of a pastry taste on the bottom of each bite. When I visit NYC, I would love to try these puffs when they're hot and fresh! read more

I really enjoyed the cream puffs at Beard Papa's--they were delicious! However, I was quite concerned about the display refrigerator in the store. It was very dirty, with crumbs and cream stuck on it, and there were even whole watermelons and cartons of milk stored inside for some reason. I believe the store would feel much better and more welcoming if the display refrigerator were kept clean. read more

It was a great reminder of when we had them in Japan! Not overly sweet, very fluffy and light, and the crust was flaky. It's inside the mall and seafood market so you will be surrounded by those smells. The service was very nice and helpful in our order. read more

Beard Papa's - Strawberry Beard Papa's - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

This location of Beard Papa's is located downstairs in Skyview Mall, partially sharing its space/seating area with the Gong Cha next-door. Although it has a pretty small setup, the service was quite quick. There are some tables and chairs for indoor seating, but the chairs are very visibly soiled/dirty. Another thing to note is that you'll need to hit the $5 minimum before you can pay with credit card. Creme Brulee Puff with Vanilla Filling: At first glance, the cream puff is significantly smaller than what I'm used to during my visits to other Bears Papa's locations in the past, which was a bit disappointing. It was nice that the creme brulee portion of the puff was warm, in contrast to the cooler filling inside. The vanilla filling was not too sweet at all, which was pleasant. read more

**Please note, this review is solely on the service and ethics of the Flushing location, not the food. I received coupons from shops at Skyview for the holiday season and saw that Papa Beard was participating in this promotion period. They had a coupon for $2 off a single item, and it finally gave me a reason to drop by to try their cream puffs. However, when I went to order and use the coupon, the cashier just pointed at the coupon they stuck on the side of the glass divider. Handwritten in pen states that there needs to be a minimum purchase of $10 in order to use the coupon. I did not see other shop in Skyview add any requirements to their coupons to force customers to spend more than what they intended to. If they had specified this in the original printed coupon and not just add it on for customers to see when they come to the store, then I would not have purposely commuted there. This may be a minor issue to some, but I believe that businesses should have principle and I don't agree with this. read more

Cream puffs are always such a guilty pleasure. Assortment of cream puffs and cream filling are great! Go early in the day to get the full plethora of flavors. Arriving later in the day may mean certain items like the tiny puffs to be sold out. Full sized morsels are priced at $4- 5 each depending on puff and cream combo. Vanilla is a bit plain but the matcha was finger lickin good. I have yet to try the ube, but will be ordering that next time I stop by! read more

Every bite tasted like heaven! This has to be one of my favorite cream puff places in NYC. I got an assortment for my friend's housewarming and it was such a hit. They are located inside Skyview Mall on the ground level next to Skyfoods supermarket. It shares the same space as Gong Cha. Menu is customizable for the most part. You can pick different pastry shells and different fillings, which includes cream filling or ice cream filling. Price: I think they are reasonable compared to other cream puff places. They are a little under $4 each. Cream Puff - SO GOOD! The pastry was airy and the cream was just right; sweet enough where it taste like a dessert but not too sweet where you can't eat the whole thing. I was able to consume 2 in one sitting vs usually, when I get cream puffs from other places, I can only eat 1. Also since they put the cream in when you order, it doesn't get soggy. The pastry holds it's shape well. I ate it more 8 hours later and it was still good! My favorite is the Honey & Butter shell with the Vanilla filling. A close second would be Green Tea shell with Green tea filling. I was not impressed with the cookie and cream shell. It was their limited flavor at the time. I can't wait to try more! read more

ROCK HARD, ALL AIR, NO DOUGH. Is the economy that bad that they have to stretch the dough with yeast? The custard filling is still good but the puff is hard and crusty. I keep going to different branches in hope it is just a one off but it is the same, everywhere in NYC. The ones I had when they first opened in Japan, Hong Kong, and even in NYC were so good. Does headquarters QC its franchise? read more

Now their original cream puffs cost five dollars each. And the filling custard cream is less, and tasted old. I am not going back any more.

It was just okay. The staff were really nice but the cream puffs weren't anything special. The shells didn't seem very fresh although the option to have different flavours was nice. The filings were okay. The vanilla was much nicer and than the green tea. The cream puffs were smaller than I expected compared to other places. The store is split between Beard Papas and Gong Cha with a shared seating area which unfortunately wasn't very clean. We were there towards the end of the day so that might have affect our experience but it overall it was just fine. read more

Got two cream puffs (in order to meet the credit card min): original with their monthly special filling (for September it's mixed berry) and the creme brulee puff. The creme brulee one tasted amazing. The berry filling wasn't anything special, it tasted like a strawberry blueberry yogurt. I wish they gave boxes to transport the creme puffs instead of just paper bags like Dunkin Donuts. Nice to see that they still have stamp cards (1 stamp for every purchase over $5), get a free cream puff with 9 stamps (used to be 10). read more

Colorful presentation and "not too sweet " dessert option, the cream puff is a must have item if you visit. They are bigger than my fist, you can choose a outer shell and a stuffing you like and they don't need to be unified. For example I got an ube(purple) shell with matcha(green tea) custard stuffing. Yummy! Haven't tried the macaroons yet but they are going to be my next to destroy! read more

I'm not big on desserts, so enjoying a Cream Puff was unexpected. I followed fellow Yelper Raymarts guidance and ordered an Original Shell with Vanilla filling and also chose a Crispy Almond Shell with Vanilla filling. Beard Papa's Cream Puffs reminds me of an Italian Lobster Tail, but much better in my opinion. I think it's due to Beard Papa's simplicity of the perfect sized crisp yet tender Pate Choux shells. These shells are crammed with light and creamy, not overly sweet filling, pumped to the gills of each shell after your orders are placed. Filling the shell at time of order renders a crisp shell. Flushing has the goods on globally diverse eats brought from afar. Thanks to my Yelp friends, and especially Anna, I have been introduced to a variety of cuisines this side of Queens and have yet to be disappointed. If you haven't tried a Beard Papa's Cream Puff try it, you may like it. read more

I actually popped my cherry at their St. Marks Place location many moons ago so I am already a fan of Beard Papa's yummy cream puffs. After dim sum, my friends and I walked over to Beard Papa's located inside of Skyview Center for dessert. I ordered one Strawberry and one Cookies & Cream shell with Vanilla filling. Most of my friends got the Mini Puff Set, Chocolate Fondant, and etc. Note: Don't forget to take a punch card to track all your visits which is only valid at their Skyview Center location! I brought my cream puffs to share with my parents. OMG, it has been so long since I ate one of these babies mmmm *mama like* My parents really love the cream puffs #score I will be back to try the rest of the menu mmmm =) read more

I don't normally crave cream puffs but would definitely think of Beard Papa's when I'm in the mood for something light, airy and not too sweet. I do not recommend cutting into these as the filling inside would burst or pour out and you don't wanna waste a single dollop of the goodness inside! I really enjoyed the honey butter glaze one as the shell and the green tea filled ones. Ordered a box of 6 in advance on the app and total came out to ~$25. The staff packaged them nicely in a to go box as well. read more

Another great dessert spot in flushing! Finally got around to trying this place and it did not disappoint. Beard papa's is located in skyview mall on the ground floor by the gongcha. There's space to sit and eat as well. They have a lot of options. Vanilla, strawberry, matcha, ube and a few more. And vanilla or matcha for custard filling options. I went with the ube with matcha custard. A solid (5/5)!! The pastry was light, airy, and crisp. The custard is abundant and not too sweet. Very tasty and completes the dessert. There's an option to replace custard with ice cream so that will have to be for next time! read more

I love the concept and idea , taste isn't bad but the prices are too steep in my opinion for what you are getting. Macarons are three dollars each. The cream puffs with tax are like four dollars each. To describe the taste , the outside just tastes like the bottom hard bread of a triangle pizza slice. Inside tastes like just melted ice cream, no unique flavor. Just melted Luke warm ice cream. It was not a thick pastry. Kind of airy. It's okay. read more

Beard Papa's - Vanilla original cream puff - Desserts Near Me - Flushing, New York

3.5/5! Warning - they do not last a walk in summer weather (70 degrees!). Consume immediately! Made that mistake with my creme brulee and strawberry one as the cream turned the bottom and side part of my cream puff into a soggy, soaking mess. Overall, I do like these, but I've definitely had better. The choux's outside is much airier and balloons up, and the skin is fairly thin. However, the filling's overall consistency doesn't compare to Bibble & Sip's. Creme brulee cream puff: you can skip this, it really just tastes like a more sweetened version of the original. Also kinda like an egg tart taste too Strawberry cream puff: my favorite limited edition flavor, the strawberry cream actually comes with real pieces of fruit inside. Normally I don't care for fruity things, but this fruity cream is very deliciously smooth Matcha: the batch I received wasn't whipped very well (as you can see in the pictures the separation of the white and green parts of the cream) but the matcha is pretty spot on, with a much more bitter matcha taste than you're probably accustomed to. read more

Haven't had cream puffs for a while! Thanks to my friend! I was able to bring some home from Flushing. I didn't realize that all puffs can be customized with the fillings. I got 4 of them: S'mores, matcha, creme brulee and the original. I had s'mores so far. It was so good! The puff shell was crispy and not sweet at all with the sweet vanilla filling and topped with chocolate coding & marshmallow. Yum! Can't wait to have the rest of the puffs. read more

Aside for my love for french fries and sushi, I absolutely LOVE cream puffs - especially ones from Beard Papa's! There aren't a lot of places in flushing that sell delicious cream puffs but regardless, Beard Papa's cream puffs are to die for!! I've only gotten mini puffs because they're so cute and convenient to try a variety of flavors in smaller quantities. I've tried the Classic cream puffs with vanilla and green tea fillings and literally cannot stop after one cream puff. The cream puffs literally melt in my mouth with its fresh crispy shell and delicious filling. I've bought for friends and family who never had Beard Papa's before and every person had complimented the deliciousness of the cream puffs. For people who count calories, Beard Papa's displays the amount of calories of each item on the TV screen! I think that's absolutely helpful to people who are conscious of their calorie intake. The staffs are all really nice and the service is amazing! Every time after they finish my order and call out my number, they say thank you! I love the way they treat their customers! I absolutely recommend and will definitely come back to try the bigger cream puffs as well as other flavors!! read more

What a pleasant surprise to come across this Japanese cream puff place in the Sky View Mall in Flushing after trying its delicious cream puffs the first time at the Aberdeen Centre in Vancouver! I only had the mini ones in Vancouver so I decided to try the regular size. I got both green tea and chocolate puffs since I couldn't decide which one to get. And I opted to pair the hazelnut cream which was the limited edition with green tea and the chocolate one with Oreo ice cream which wasn't available in Vancouver. Oh mine, the cream puffs brought back all the fond memories from the trip. The cream was so fresh and flavorful. Also loved the Oreo ice cream as filling. PS: get a stamp card if you plan to come often. You will get a free cream puff after nine stamps (you get a stamp each time if you spend over $5). read more
