Huge fan of cream puffs and a first time visit to their Katy location! First time trying the Vietnamese coffee puff with viet coffee filling which was a hit!! Their oreo puff with vanilla filling was also tasty--unfortunately they only had vanilla ice cream available. They also have a a decent drink menu but I did not get a chance to try any. I had to take some cream puffs to go! read more

Beard Papa is it. It's like crack cocaine for me. A well made cream puff. The cream is just addicting no matter what flavor you get. It's thick, it's cold, and it not too sweet but flavorful. I could eat a half dozen (and I have) in one sitting. Today I hoped my child didn't want his and he didn't so we each had 1.5. Service was fast and good. First had them in California and then in Asia. I have no shame. I search for them wherever I am. The one in Bellaire closed down but I cannot let this one. read more

For $4.07 you can have an entire cream puff to yourself. While money can't buy happiness, for just a few dollars you can enjoy a crispy puff filled with mouth creaminess vanilla custard. I love the chocolate puff with just plain vanilla custard. Crispy and light this morsel nugget is perfect for a snack. If you are looking for a treat, I dare you to trade up your scoop of ice cream, coffee drink for this scrumptious puff. read more

Introduction: I normally don't do reviews but for this one, I just might have to. As I stepped inside the store, I was welcomed by the owner. Her name is Jennifer and she is extremely friendly and helpful. In an instant once I finished my order she immediately prepared my order and had a brief conversation with me. The shop itself has a nice comfortable atmosphere. You can definitely sit here to do your school work or just hang out with friends. Service: 10/10 The staff there is outstanding, very real and down to earth. They are so humble but so friendly. I appreciate all the thought and process that they put into to create the crème puffs. Matcha Strawberry Latte: 8/10 I don't usually drink matcha since I'm a tea person but their matcha is amazing! Not too sweet but just the perfect amount to enjoy the drink. At a crème puff place that specializes in their pastries, you wouldn't expect their drinks to be good, but their quality is amazing. Their matcha is straight from Japan and their strawberries are always fresh, you can taste it in the drink! I would definitely get it again, even though my rating has an 8, that's because I'm not really a matcha person but I would go here to get their matcha! Vanilla Custard Crème Puff: 10000/10 if possible! The crème puff's are made with so much love and rich ingredients. When you bite into the crème puff, you are met with a nice soft crunch. The inside has a nice smooth vanilla filling that isn't extremely sweet but the right amount to satisfy your taste buds. The powdered sugar on top of the pastry adds a small enhancement on their crème puffs. These can be addicting so BE AWARE. You can tell that it's high quality which makes up for the pricing of the Crème Puffs. Out of all the bakeries nearby, it can never top Beard Papa's Crème Puffs. Overall: I'm more than satisfied with my visit today, and I'll definitely be coming more often. It's such a bummer that not a lot of people try Beard Papa's whether because of texture or they're not exposed to it. But believe me when I say, it is one of the best pastry shops in Katy Asian Town. I believe it deserves more exposure and hype that it's supposed to get, instead of the pain bakery places because their pastries is outstanding. With everything that they have to offer it is worth every penny. read more

My boyfriend was finishing up some sales meetings nearby so I had some time to kill at the domain and as I was wondering around I stumbled into this cute bakery. I had no idea what to expect but imagined it to be similar to a filled donut. Not quite! Its more like an eclair i would say for those not familiar. Its quite yummy and the bread dough is not overly sweet overing a nice contrast to the sweet filling. You get to build your own flavor by choosing your shell, filling, icing and toppings! read more

Absolutely obsessed with Beard Papa's! I never thought I'd be a cream puff person, but this place totally won me over. The texture is perfect--crispy shell with a creamy center--and the sweetness is just right: satisfying but not overwhelming. My current faves are the ube and chocolate (SO GOOD!), and I've got my eye on the s'mores next. I also tried the Tropic Thunder drink--super refreshing and exactly what you want on a hot Houston day. Big thanks to the wonderful staff member who helped me out--she was so friendly, shared her favorites, and answered all my questions with a smile. Fantastic experience all around. Beard Papa's in Katy, TX is a solid 10/10--highly recommend! read more

Absolutely amazing!! My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by how good the cream puffs were here. It was both of our first times at Beard Papa's. I ordered the green tea eclaire with green tea filling and I loved it! My friend had the chocolate eclaire with coffee filling. Good size, puff pastry texture, and ice cream-like smooth and cold filling inside. This has made it into one of my top favourite desserts! Service was fast and atmosphere was clean. read more

I highly recommend this place! Not only was the service amazing, their puffs are delicious! The puff itself is so light and the filling isn't thick so I didn't feel that guilty eating it. I'm so happy I don't live closer because this would be my go-to. When you walk in you get to choose the shell and then the filling. They do it right there for you. If you buy 6, you get $1 off. I'm not sure if that sale ended anytime soon We also ordered a chocolate fondant. Heat it up for 15 seconds in the microwave and the middle will be oozing out with goodness. I'm excited to go back and try other flavors. read more

Why 5 stars? Because I could do some serious damage in here. --- --- --- I have seen many Beard Papa's in my time, but I have never stopped into one. Sometimes I do dumb stuff like not eat cream puffs. Here's the reality: I had one Oreo Cream Puff and took a couple bites of my wife's Chocolate Fondent. And I don't even really like chocolate. Am I qualified to review Beard Papa's? Probably not. But here's what I know. I thought the Oreo cream puff was a solid 4.5 stars. And I wanted to order about 5 other flavors, as most of them looked amazing. I'm going to give Beard Papa's the benefit of the doubt and assume that most of these at least somewhat tasted as delicious as they looked. I would love to try these puffs fresh out of the oven. I'm sure there's some trickiness to add the filling when they are super hot, but here's what I know: they would have potential to heal the sick if it works out as well I imagine it in my mind. I would have tried several more, but we had another dessert stop while at Katy Asia Town and didn't want to fill up at one place. read more

If you haven't had Beard Papa's, oh my goodness! You are missing out. These cream puffs are absolutely delicious. I will say that we drove an hour for these! The cream puff dough is very light and fluffy with a crisp and the filling is sweet custard. I always get the classic custard filling because you can never go wrong with that, and it pairs well with all of their puffs. These puffs are sweet but not overly sweet, yet indulging at the same time. Every time I've been here, the workers are always friendly and helpful. They also fill the cream puffs as you order them, so that they are fresh! The overall establishment is very quiet and clean. There are a few tables on the inside if you choose to eat there. Whenever I am in town, this is a must to bring back home. read more

I love that this place is here. Each item is carefully and meticulously made to taste so good. I have been told by others to come earlier in the day so the puffs are more fresh, however I've personally never had a bad batch regardless of day. My personal favorites are the regular puffs with the standard vanilla cream or the crispy almond donut puff w/ any of the creams. Cost per puff "feels" a lil expensive but honestly I can't get myself to eat more than 2 at a time w/o feeling like its a abit much. read more

Beard papas is nice place to get light snacks but I wasn't a huge fan of their cream puffs. The filling is not too sweet (just right) but their pastry just had an overpowering crisco taste to it.

Best and probably only cream puffs in town. This is a "build your own" kinda place, which is great because they have some amazing options for toppings, and fillings.

As being the first location opening in Texas, Beard Papa's Katy has always been our favorite go-to dessert place for numerous of occasions, from birthday's goodies to company's parties, date nights or simply to satisfy a sweet tooth! With top notch quality and exceptionally friendly customer service, put simply, Beard Papa's Katy cares! Don't forget to try different combinations from the cream puff shells to melting in your mouth custard flavors! Their exclusive drinks have also been the talk of the town. Our personal favorites are the coconut coffee and salted caramel whipped coffee!!! These completely exceeded our expectations. Their other fruity drinks are also very refreshing, especially with the Texas heat! Tropic Thunder is definitely unmatchable. Next time when you stop by Katy's Asian town, try some of their yummy treats! Highly recommended!!! read more

Have to change my five stars to a three/three.five. We went back a few days after my first visit and the service was still good... ...but the puffs...they weren't! We got home and the box felt lighter than the previous visit. Bit into a puff and there was way less filling than the first time. Super sad moment! If these were cheaper than 3 bucks a piece I'd be okay with it, but for the price...it just wasn't worth it. Probably will not visit this place as often as the inconsistent product doesn't justify the $30.00 spent every time we visit. Sad as there was a lot of potential and good vibes after my first visit. read more

I've been here like 3 times and my experience was ok for all 3. When I first heard of Papa's, I was so excited to try it out. When it opened, I stopped by after work to buy some and to my liking, it was ok. They only had a few choices to choose from and I believe I got all the flavors they had at the time. I did not like the green tea one, it just tasted weird to me. I really liked the strawberrry with vanilla! My recent visit, I saw that they had more choices to choose from, like cookies n' cream, s'mores, creme brûlée, etc. I really liked the creme brûlée's and cookies n' cream with vanilla filling. Those were delicious! They're open during COVID and it's a quick in and out buying. I saw that they had drinks here as well, but I didn't get a chance to try out any. If you guys know those frozen cream puffs sold in groceries stores and you like those, I would definitely recommend to try these out! You can heat it up a little and have it warmed as well. Whenever I'm having a sweet tooth, I will be back! read more

Beard Papa's is an awesome franchise selling cream puffs, and they can be delicious. But one of the main problems with this particular location of the franchise is that they didn't have a lot of the items on the first several visits that we made, so Barbie ended up thinking she didn't like it very much, and I'll still have to convince her otherwise. I had similar issiues - it was nowhere near as amazing as the one in Boston that I fell in love with first and the ones in New York for that matter. Still very awesome to have one of these in Katy and it's very busy as you would expect. We'll be coming back for more visits to see if I can improve her onions. I mean opinions. So whether you like big studs or fappers Men with silky voices or rappers You'll find what you need Yes, including my seed If you come down to Katy's Beard Papa's. read more

Located in Katy Asia Town, their cream puffs are pretty solid. Not easy finding a place around Houston with this kind of quality. There's a variety of fillings and shell options on the menu. There are also drinks as well. My favorites are the creme brûlée and honey butter with original filling. Can never go wrong with these two options. The original fillings aren't too sweet at all and it goes great with any shell options. It's good to eat them right away for a better taste. This place can get crowded sometimes but services are relatively fast. You can order each puff individually and custom each puff to your likings. read more

Not your ordinary type of pastry. You just the type of puff you want and then the filling you want inside. The combinations could "endless" but imagine biting into a puff and getting a slightly sweeten cream filling. That's what I like Even more about this place, it's not overly sweet so you can enjoy each bite. I also had the strawberry matcha which was very delicious because after mixing it you get a taste of all the components in one sip. It's a real nice cozy place just to grab a quick dessert or sweet snack. My only small downfall is there much more filling than the dough so it gets messy after each bite. Filling starts to leak out.

I think this maybe the biggest disappointment for me in bakery terms. I was very eager to try the crème puffs at Beard Papa's and purchased several different varieties, but a cold crème puff just doesn't work for me or the kids. When my kids didn't like them, I knew something was off because they love sweets. Now this may be a nostalgic item for those who grew up eating them this way, so I just may not get it, but it wasn't enjoyable for me. Other than that it's in Katy's Asian Market area, so there is plenty of parking, the place is really cute, and the service was great. If you're a fan of these types of cold crème puffs, please go and enjoy! read more

First bite and I was hooked! I wasn't sure what to expect, I thought maybe it would be too sweet of a filling and outside really crispy hard. But I went to that counter and ordered cookies n cream with vanilla filling, original with cookies n cream, and honey butter with cookies n cream. First off they were light, flaky, fresh, and most importantly delicious!!! The fillings did not feel heavy, very flavorful, not too sweet, smooth, not thick, and light. I literally licked the paper it came in! Can't waste! Everything I ordered was equally delicious! I took a bite of my friends green tea with green tea filling and that was amazing! I went on Monday, memorial day, and there were no lines. I live quite a bit aways from this place but worth the drive!! Maybe they will open up one in clear lake *crossing fingers* =) read more

After reading all the great review my husband tried this after we had dinner in the area. Not really sure why everyone likes these puffs. It was a little more than $7 for them and we both were done eating them within 1-2 minutes. It did not cure my sweet tooth one bit. This is one of those places for me that I can say, "been there, done that." The stars are for the puffs, the were...ok, but not great. read more

This has been on my bucket list for a while. While the first location opened up in Chinatown, they have since expanded including those location in Asiatown in Katy. I stopped by on a Monday after dinner for some dessert. There's a large parking lot so that won't be an issue. Beard Papa's is all about customizable cream puffs. You choose your filling and "topping" and then they make it fresh for you. There are four choices for your filling: vanilla, chocolate, matcha, and the four option is escaping me. You have more choices for your topping including matcha, Oreo, honey, and several more. I tried two puffs along with their lavender lemonade. The lemonade was great and just the right mix of sweet and tart. It's also a visually appealing drink with the purple. With that being said, it was pretty pricey. I ended up enjoying the cream puffs and I'm happy I tried something different but it really isn't up there for me when it comes to desserts. The customization is cool as is the story of the company and its branding. They started in Japan where an old man with a beard (almost Santa Claus looking) started baking these cream puffs. One thing led to another and here we are. read more
