Beard papa's is my favorite cream puff chain! In Asia, they make the "cookie" fresh but sadly at this location, they only make them fresh in the morning so if you crave this at night, it's not as crispy and flaky as you imagined. However, beard papa's addictive vanilla cream filling taste exactly the same and helps redeem itself read more

After seeing this spot come up a lot online, decided to give this spot a shot. We were in the mood for some dessert, so we ordered some cream puffs via DoorDash. The order arrived quickly and everything was packaged great. Now on to the desserts! Not sure if I've ever had an eclair/cream puff and didn't consider myself a fan but Beard Papa's has changed my mind. I tried the creme brûlée one--this was filled with vanilla pastry cream and had a nice sugar/caramelized crust. This was really good but then I tried the Oreo one. I got it filled with chocolate cream. I lovvvvvvvved this one. The Oreo crumble on top was so good in combo with the chocolate cream. I liked the texture with the toppings on this one. I would get this one again if you are looking for something different and unique for dessert! read more

The puffs looked good from the outside, but the taste did not match the appearance. The cream was overly sweet, the vanila cream is too bad and I think its quite expensive for the price here. read more

Awwww.. came here again to try their croissant taiyaki-- got the 3 pack. Red bean and Nutella. As delicious as that sounds they were just ok. Not terrible but nothing to text home about. Just hopelessly mediocre. It looks like it has potential but the dough just does not work with this pressed on pastry. You need to let the layers shine and breathe man. But I get it. It's a novelty. Just needs more development. I'm no saying I have the answer, maybe no one has yet. But this place still smells delicious every time and sells hilariously adorable accessories is Asians go cream puffs for. read more

This was a Doordash Order, so I had no interactions with the staff at the shop! The order was ready to be picked up really quick. It was packaged well and organized. Presentation of the food was also good. The pastries looked appealing. My wife really liked the Oreo Crumbled Eclair, she loves the taste and texture of the pastry. I had the Churro Shell, I think the pastry was good, it wasn't to die for, but it was good. The pastries were not overwhelmingly sweet, that is a good thing, they had a good balanced of sweetness! I would recommend this place if you are around the area and want a small sweet bite. read more

I have had Beard Papa's many times over the years and have always enjoyed their cream puffs. Recently, I was lucky enough to try two of their cream puffs for free. I got a original vanilla puff and one strawberry shell with their seasonal guava peach cream. I think my tastes have evolved over the years and I don't enjoy overly sweet desserts as much ad I used to. I really enjoyed the original she'll with vanilla cream as the shell is not sweet and the cream was not over sweet either. There were also a lot of vanilla beans in the cream so you can really taste the vanilla. The strawberry shell was and guava peach combo was too sweet for me. The the the guava peach tasted very strongly of peach, which was good, but the cream was super sweet. Not much guava flavor that I could taste. If you like sweet things and peach, this flavor may be good for you. But if you like your desserts less sweet, stick to original shell and vanilla. The fresh puff shells are also perfectly crispy/crunchy if you ear it right away. read more

If you are craving cream puffs, this would be one of the places I recommend. They do not skimp on the cream filling, here. The filling has a light pudding like consistency and taste. The shell is a hit or miss. Yes, it's light and airy and buttery, but sometimes there's more of a magic crisp than other times. We got the deal that included 6 of the original cream puffs: 3 come with vanilla filling and 3 with chocolate filling. Mmmmm. AND, they threw in the free original, so we ended up with 7 for $23.99 plus tax and tip. They have all sorts of flavors. They also have mochi, gelato, bingsoo, waffles, taiyaki, drinks, etc. -- something for everyone. They also have some cute BTS/K-pop merch. It's cute inside, but I think they could make it a lot cuter. It's next to Daiso and close to several eateries, so I do love stopping by for a treat. read more

My wife has a weakness for these things...after dinner we saw a sign with that familiar logo... ...so off we went. Ordered only 3 as we were stuffed from dinner. The only ones we always get are the original filling. Those are the best! Light fluffy cream filling in a ultra light crunchy shell. Fantastic ! A must try if you've never had it! read more

Love their cream puffs at Beard Papa's. I've only known the one in Arcadia back when I used to live out there over 10 years ago. I haven't had it in years and one day I just craved their cream puffs. So hubby went to pick up some for me. Since then, I'd crave it! Their plain vanilla filling is so good. I recently tried the matcha with vanilla filling and it was perfect. I actually got the original with matcha filling and it was just as good. Goes well together, not too sweet and not too matcha. Ive had the cream brûlée and it was too sweet for me. If you've never tried cream puffs before, you should try this place out. Yummy yum yum! read more

Quite possibly the worst matcha latte I have ever ordered yet. It was barely a light green with it mostly being milk and mostly ice. My entire group didn't finish their drinks as even the non-matcha drinks were just mostly milk and one of my friends discovered his boba was undercooked. Disappointing experience and will not be returning. read more

Staff: The staff was very nice. Offered to put our larger order into separate bags. Just all around pleasant to work with. Quality/Quantity: Come on this place is amazing. Of course it was delicious. Big, fresh, perfectly cooked, with delicious cream inside. The chocolate one is my favorite. Value: Fair Overall: I don't frequent the area too often but if I do I'm most definitely coming back. read more

This location can get very busy, very quickly... so, if you don't mind a little line waiting, then this is a great spot! The service is fast (once you're to the counter) and knowledgeable which I appreciated. We ordered a creme brûlée puff and I also opted for a honey butter puff with seasonal apple custard filling! They're both lovely treats, but the honey butter with apple filling was the one that was the star of the show! The apple really came through! If you happen to go to Beard Papa's, definitely try it! I do wish the inner custard was warm vs cold, but it's still a fantastic way to treat yourself! read more

Beard Papa's - Fresh Cream Puffs - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

This is a great dessert place to come to when you can't decide if you want coffee, tea, cream puffs or gelato. Why not have them all! I had a small gelato cup with one scoop of chocolate chip and one scoop of vanilla ($4.75). I also ordered a chocolate covered cream puff with vanilla custard filling ($3.25), in part because there is a $5 credit card minimum. My sweet tooth was satisfied with both desserts and they definitely gave me a sense of relaxation. The store itself is very spacious and there are plenty of tables and chairs. There's also free ice water that you can dispense yourself near the cashier. Recommend this for a nice pick me up any day of the week. read more

Such a cute little sweets shop next to mitsuwa marketplace located inside the mochi dessert cafe. I ordered the original cream puff and the peach shell cream puff with peach cream. Both cream puffs were so incredibly flakey and the cream was perfectly fluffy and not overly sweet. They also serve gelato and other deserts and sweet drinks. This is a great spot to bring the family for a sweet treat during these summer months. We will definitely be back on our next grocery run! read more

I used to get Beard Papa's up in Cupertino and am so happy that one exists down here as well. It's located in a shop that makes super yummy shaved ice treats too. These cream puffs are big and stuffed with flavored custard. I love the original custard filling. The cream puffs are very light not overly sugary. I can't wait to try the strawberry one, but I'm so in love with the basics (plain and matcha) that I don't know if I'll ever end up trying it! read more

Beard Papa's - Chocolate Eclair Puff - Bakeries Near Me - Irvine, California

This place has been bookmarked in one of my collections for awhile and we were in the area today so we decided to try it. This is located in plaza and they don't have a huge sign that makes them easily identified. They sit under a sign that says "Mochi" We ordered 4 cream puffs: strawberry eclair, honey butter, strawberry shortcake, original. One person didn't want a cream puff and instead, ordered a green tea Mochi ice cream. Everyone liked their cream puff. I had the shortcake one and the shell was yummy and cream was not too sweet. The mochi ice cream, however, was said to be too melted (even though it was eaten right away) and that it had a sour taste. While the cream puff did taste good, one thing that threw me off was that I did see a fly in the case holding the shells (see photo), so that definitely made me lose my appetite. read more

We stopped in Beard Papa's yesterday with a good smile from the cashier even tho she was wearing her mask.

This review is solely for their cream puffs. Beard Papa's is my favorite place to get cream puffs. They are about the size of my palm, and they always taste SO good. The only thing is that the price per cream puff is a little bit expensive, but it is worth it in my opinion. My favorite is the matcha cream puff with matcha filling. The vanilla filling is also excellent, but matcha has my heart. I have yet to try other menu items, but I see customers ordering an array of it, so I'm sure it is just as good. read more

Been here a couple of times before and it's usually pretty good. I finished up with grocery shopping at Mitsuwa and I wanted to grab some dessert for later as well. The interior is nice with a comfy cafe atmosphere. There was no line and the cashier was very friendly. I ordered three cream puffs. One chocolate, one matcha and one ube, all filled with the classic vanilla cream. I ate the match and chocolate cream puffs later that day at home. The matcha was sweeter than I expected, but in a good way. The vanilla cream was substantial with a hint of vanilla flavor and the pastry was a little crunchy. The chocolate was a classic and very delicious. I really enjoyed my cream puffs from here. read more

One of the best cream puffs I ever had I really love their cream puffs & taiyaki- the cream is so delicious its so good that it almost tastes like ice cream. The cream goes perfectly with the puffed pastry. The original creme puff or the chocolate covered creme puff is my favorite. Their taiyaki- IS AHMAZING! It tastes like a croissant waffle. They make them fresh and tastes very homemade. I also really like the space! They have a few tables inside. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for the best cream puff or if you like creme brûlée. They have plenty of parking spaces available! read more

We wanted some puff pastry and got 3 original custards. It had plenty of custard inside. It was delicious but I wish they were fresh and have not been sitting out there for a bit. Still enjoyed it! We also ordered a milk tea with boba which took way too long for the simplicity of the milk tea! Not sure how you can take 15 minutes to make one. I saw my puff pastry sitting there while they were trying to figure the milk tea out. I guess I learned my lesson, order milk tea from a boba place. read more

As delicious as their cream puffs are, I love their taiyaki here. It's my favorite thing to get. Their mochi is also delicious. Service can be hit or miss but it's a nice place to get dessert to share with friends. read more

Not a full beard papas but it was incorporated into a cafe that served other desserts. Still good nonetheless. Always the original puff and the chocolate one. It's been years since they were all the rage but so glad the quality remains the same despite it not being a stand alone. The lava cake was as good as I remembered it too. Worth the drive to Irvine if you want a cream puff fix. A little hard to find since they don't really have the sign in front. Just look for a cafe nestled between cvs and daiso. Also in the same plaza as orobae if you want to grab a cream puff for your long wait for a drink. read more

The outdoor seating was nice and roomy as well. read more

I LOVE BEARD PAPA'S!!! We were driving on the way back from San Diego and I was craving bingsu. We stumbled upon this place on Yelp and took a detour. I was so excited to find out that they also had Beard Papa's there! I love Beard Papa, the honey and butter flavor is my absolute favorite with the vanilla filling. It is always perfectly crispy on the outside with a sweet, smooth filling on the inside. We also got the mango snow to split. The small is big enough to share with 3-4 people if you were just looking to get dessert after a mealThe snow was very soft and we really like the mango cream and mango chunks on it. It was really like. I think I will definitely come back if I am in the area to try the Matcha flavor. read more

I finally got to try this place. Although their cream puffs are better than the $0.60 cents cream puffs at Manmi, it's still quite several notches below Liliha's coco puffs. I don't think I'll ever find one as good as Liliha's coco puffs though. I just wish that they'll branch out to the mainland. So, I think this is as good as it gets for cream puffs in OC. Beard Papa is located inside "Mochi" store, right next to Daiso. They have a special where you buy any 6 cream puffs, you get one original cream puff free. So, I opted to get this deal, and got a variety of their cream puffs. Although I got a total of 7 cream puffs, each in different flavors, I only got to taste the Cookie Crumble with the vanilla filling, and the original cream puff. Both were great! The deliciousness comes from the filling, which is so creamy, buttery, and tasty similar to a custard filling. It wasn't too sweet even with the cookie crumble toppings. However, I could only finish one in total (half of the cookie crumble and half of the orginal) because it's almost as big as the top of my fist. Hence, hubby finished my left over halves. Hubby loves these round puffy babies. I came home with it after dinner on a Saturday, and when I woke up the next day, all 7 have been completely devoured! Whew, at least I got to try 2 of 'em! Not much service interaction at this place. I placed my order at the counter, and waited for less than 10 minutes for them to boxed it up. Overall, I will be sure to come back when the fam gets the cream puff cravings again. read more

very yummy! I've been to various beard papa's locations and they are all very consistently delicious. The honey & butter shell is my favorite!! I always get the vanilla filling but occasionally switch to the matcha filling - they are both good depending on what prefer :) they also always have the buy 6 cream puff get 1 original vanilla cream puff for free deal so thats a nice plus! I usually end up opting in for this deal. My total came out to be $25 with 6+1 free cream puff! always a good place to come in to if you are looking for a quick dessert snack! This location in particular also Carrie's a bts merch section and sells desserts including ice cream, macarons, bingsoo (Korean shaved ice), etc. read more

The cream puffs were delicious! The shells itself are delicious. The fillings were a bit sweet for me but still good. I liked the chocolate shell the most. The ube was good but not as good as the chocolate. In terms of filling, I think the vanilla was the best but the green tea was good too! read more

Came in earlier and ordered 12 Mini Cream Puffs, 8 vanilla and 4 green tea. The green tea immediately tasted sour. Tried calling them, but whoever picked up, didn't say anything and left the phone on which directs every call to voicemail. Thanks for nothing dawg. If you're looking for sour green tea cream puffs then this location is the spot. read more

I'm more than happy to give Beard Papa's that final fifth star. I visited yesterday before going home for the holidays and I was nervous when I entered the store because it was PACKED. Nonetheless, they had the mini cream puffs!! Their lack of them during my last visit was the only reason I bumped a star from the rating. Service was relatively fast despite the rush and per usual, the cream puffs were DELICIOUS. Side note- I'm not a K-Pop fan but they had an aesthetic display of merch if you wanted to check that out. read more

Never heard of this place but we got there around 8pm on a Saturday to meet up with friends. Not bad. Apparently others shared this sentiment as the place was hopping for the next couple hours. I had the Macha with vanilla cream puff even though I'm a diabetic and it was lip smacking good. In a different time, I probably could have eaten 4 or 5 of their offerings at 1 sitting. They serve croissants, tea, mochi ice cream and other choices so it was a good after dinner place to end up at. read more
