Plenty of eclair options
David A.

Original creampuff Chocolate eclair Strawberry eclair The Original creampuff with the vanilla filling is the must try here. Plenty of eclair varieties and filling flavor options. Got the 6 pack box and the handle broke off on the way home. Luckily the creampuffs didn't fall out.

Ube puff

Beard Papa's is found within Tokyo Central in the food court. What is unique about Beard Papa's is that you get to choose puffs from a variety of options and choose between 4 flavors of custard filling. The service provided to us was very great with fast and attentive employees making sure they waste no time. The two employees working at the time were very friendly and helped us choose what to get. Eventually, we settled on the Ube puff with the vanilla custard filling. It was good, the outer ube shell was very delicious along with the vanilla custard. For the ambiance, as it's located within Tokyo Central, it shares its locations with many other restaurants packed together. The food court itself offers seats but it's nothing fancy or special. Good experience here at Beard Papa's. I would recommend it as it was very good.

Located inside the grocery store of Little Tokyo

Stumbled upon this spot while shopping in Little Tokyo. They have a wide selection of pastries and we wanted to try them all. Love that you select your puff and then select the cream you prefer inside. Flavors taste authentic and the puff dough was nice and flaky yet held its form well. Service was great. The young woman working was professional and kind. She gave great recommendations based on her preferences and what other customers enjoy. Ultimately we selected the honey puff with chocolate cream and the cinnamon puff with strawberry cream. Can't wait to go back and try other flavor combos!

Classic cream puff

Beard Papa makes delicious cream puffs. They have an assortment of shells and fillings which you can create delicious treats. These cream puffs stay firm, days after they're filled and still delicious. These make terrific sweet treats, gifts or a simple dessert. Next time you're thinking of buying a cake or pie, get a box of these instead, you'll thank me. The store front counter is right in front if you, its always clean and the staff are very polite. This is inside a Japanese market, you can shop for groceries and other food stalls too. There is plenty of parking in the lot.

The original puff that I tried was nice! It tasted a bit different compared to a couple of years ago but overall it tasted fine. But then I tried the chocolate cream puffs and they tasted moldy..? I checked the puff for any exterior signs of mold but I couldn't find any thankfully, but it still tasted like mold. I even quadrupled checked to be sure. Hm, I don't know maybe it's just the refrigerator taste but oh well. A bit disappointed as now I have to dump the rest

Strawberry cream puff filled with strawberry cream
Maiden B.

Have you ever looked at dessert and just could help but smile? Every time I have a cream puff from Beard Papa's that is my reaction. The giant choux pastry shells are dipped in chocolate and topped with a variety of toppings then filled fresh with a vanilla, chocolate, or green tea custard. This beard papa's is found in the little food court inside Tokyo Central and you can't miss it. Please try it if you're ever in the area.

Ube flavor
JudyAnn M.

Tried the ube flavored puff with green tea filling and was great! The staff there was very kind and gave excellent customer service and the ambiance is fast casual since it's inside the Glendale Galleria Mall!

The chocolate filling was AMAAAAZING
Meagan I.

I haven't had Beard Papa's in years! What a great these were. So many of my childhood memories include these. The CHOCOLATE WITH CHOCOLATE CREAM inside was the best! We even had them in the fridge for a while but I couldn't wait until they were room temp. They were super rich and wonderfully light. The classic CREAM PUFF was delicious of course. Perfectly plump and cream filled! These are great. The HONEY BUTTER were decent. I couldn't taste a lot of a different flavor. Of course the cream puff itself was still great. I'd probably choose the first two for the future.

Strawberry Eclairs Shell and Vanilla Cream
Tom F.

I love this Japanese transplant and their cream puffs. I saw that they had a store inside the Tokyo Central market I was visiting and had to satisfy my craving. We shared the Honey Butter shell filled with Vanilla cream and the Strawberry Eclair shell with Vanilla cream. The Honey Butter shell is my new Fav!

See all

Bonjour French Pastry - Mont-blanc cross section

Bonjour French Pastry

Harbor Gateway

Last week, I had a late lunch at Oh Banzai, a restaurant a few doors down from this shop. For…read moredessert, I had this really tasty cake called the Mont Blanc Roll. It was really delicious. Turns out they got the cake from Bonjour. Liked the cake so much that I visited Bonjour right after my meal (around 3pm). However, by the time I got there, they only had one type of cake available. I was told that the best time to visit their shop is around 11am. Around noon today, I dropped by the shop again. I was determined to try more of their cakes. This time around, they had a full selection of desserts. I ordered the Mont Blanc Roll Cake, Mango Mousse, Chocolate Cake and Cream Cheesecake. I, of course, liked the roll cake, but liked the chocolate and cheesecakes even more. There are a lot of bakeries scattered around the South Bay, but this place is now my favorite. The cakes are so tasty!

My go to is usually the strawberry short cake and Mint Blanc. The cake is delicate and spongy that pairs well with the shipped cream and strawberry. In fact we served this strawberry cake at our wedding 16 years ago. So it's nice to see Bonjour is still around and we can come back to celebrate our special day. The ladies at the shop are nice and courteous. But be aware there are no tables inside. There's a bench outside that people can sit. But be prepared to just take the pastries to go.
