I love Beard Papa's. Been to their location in Cerritos before and I love that place. I think the cream puffs themselves are a little expensive, but to be fair they are a decent size and are very delicious! Drinks are appropriately priced, but leave some to be desired. Got a smoothie and it was just alright. However- I did want coffee and they were out of all coffee drinks a few hours before closing so I was disappointed. Other than that, good experience! Mint chocolate flavor is the best! read more

This place has been here for a while. Their bake goods are ok with me, but I normally would not pay $4.00 for a puff, but I parked in the mall parking structure. Therefore, I need parking validation, so I bought two puffs. They are not as sweet as Western bake goods because Asian do not like foods that are too sweet. The shell was crisp. I enjoyed eating the puff. Ray out. read more

I'm not a big cream puff person because I don't like the normal fillings, so I was really excited to try a more unique, customizable cream puff. We ended up getting an Ube Shell filled with Chocolate. Overall, I thought it wasn't bad. The chocolate filling overpowered the ube, which was unfortunate. I really liked the ube shell on its own tho. Would've loved a strawberry or ube filling instead, but maybe they'll have that at a different time. read more

First time trying beard papa cream puff. Interesting texture, has to be kept refrigerated. It's light but not really my taste. Crunchy and creamy filling coated with chocolate. Originally also had smoothies but wasn't available so I received a refund via grub hub. read more

PRO-TIP: 1 hour parking validation with any purchase at Beard Papa's! Also, shout out to the staff. I got a free tote bag even though my purchase didn't reach the threshold. That was super nice of them. There's some seating inside, but it was a very chill atmosphere right before closing. Despite this, the staff stuff the cream puffs right then and there so they don't get soggy. I purchased the entire Mashle collaboration set so I can get the acrylic stand and I'm a sucker for collaborations (despite not ever watching the anime series lol). It's a set of 4 different cream puffs based on the characters (2 hard shell chocolate cover ones with different fillings, 2 with different "sprinkle" fruit toppings that taste a bit strawberry-like, and 2 regular cream puffs). Overall pretty good, the chocolate cover ones did get pretty "hard" with the shell and crumble making it explode everywhere. Meaning they do stuff the cream puffs with as much sweet cream as possible! Sucks that there aren't as many Beard Papa's anymore, but it's always a treat to go when I can. read more

Wow, has this spot been hiding in downtown LA all this time?! I've lived here for years and only just discovered it--huge regret, because the crème brûlée is straight-up heaven. Creamy, velvety custard puff with that perfect crackly caramel top... I'm seriously considering risking full-on diabetes just to keep coming back for more. That's really all there is to say, it's pure bliss! I'll be showing up to every family gathering from now on with these bad boys in hand! 10/10 read more

Located in the Little Tokyo Marketplace near DTLA, this instance of Beard Papa serves up the same fresh cream puffs that we've enjoyed at their Cerritos location. There are two different sizes, with the mini ones coming in a pack of 6 to share. All are freshly pumped with cream when you order them, and the filling tastes more like custard than fresh whipped cream. The order of six was perfect for the three of us, and we enjoyed it at one of their tables, located just outside their shop. read more

Beard Papa's - Woohoo! Here for the Yelp event! Two puffs! - Bakeries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love this brand, but the service at this store is beyond terrible. Have been multiple times to this location and every time, the employees seem apathetic and checked out. I put an order in for pick up which was confirmed by the store 40 minutes before they closed which they subsequently canceled 10 minutes after confirmation, unbeknownst to me. Upon arriving, the employees informed me that they "closed 20 minutes ago" (at 8pm, 30 minutes before their listed closing time). I don't know if this is an issue with how much they're getting paid or if it's due to a lack of traffic but if you can't afford to pay your employees enough to do their jobs then this location shouldn't be open. Do yourself a favor if you want to try this place and go to the location in Koreatown. read more

Stopped by with friends on our adventure through Little Tokyo on a Sunday while checking out the Zenless Zone Zero collaboration. I've never had beard papa before, only sent it to friends as a it, and wow, cannot wait for it to open in San Diego. These are large cream puffs that a stuffed full of a light and fluffy cream filling. We just got a couple originals, but out friends ordered some of their other flavors. Sadly with how busy it was due to anime expo, a lot of flavors we were hoping for sold out, but the ones we were able to try were amazing! Lots of flavor options, customer service was average, but none the less the quality will bring me back again! read more

BELLA the employee here at the front with the dark black lips is so incredibly rude. She rolls her eyes at every question I asked and glared at me when I asked for caramel sauce on the side.

My nephew introduced me to the Beard Papa's years ago when he work at one of the store in Orange County. We were in Little Tokyo and I was craving for something sweet. Surprisingly, I saw this place and I had to buy some to try if they are still good as I remember. I ordered half of dozen to go because we had to do some errands. The place is not too posh, but the service was fast and got my order in within couple minutes. I didn't try it out until I got home about couple hours later. Usually, bakery items you want to eat it fresh as soon as possible. First bite into the cream puff it was not soft like many other standard place but it has a little crunch to it. The powder sugar added that sweetness and then came the tasty creamy vanilla custard makes it so perfect. Yummy!!!! This place makes very tasty puff even better than the one that my nephew worked at before. I do recommend displace. Give them a try you won't be disappointed. read more

we always visit this location in little tokyo! we came this last sunday around 5pm and the girl at the counter was on her phone right in view for a solid minute before even acknowledging us. before we could get a word in she barked at us saying they were out of all of the flavored puffs and only had original. we understood and weren't gonna get anything elaborate anyways so we stuck with the regular puffs, but the way she spoke to us was off putting for sure. i also want to make note she went from her phone straight to serving our puffs without washing her hands, took our payment then went right back onto her phone not saying a word. there was a big lack of customer service as well as basic cleanliness on this particular visit. read more

I discovered Beard Papa's cream puffs in Cupertino many years ago when a colleague brought in a dozen for a work party. I've had various styles of cream puffs in the past but nothing came close to these and was exhilarated to discover they had a location nearby. We've gone to a few other ones and they weren't as satisfying. The filling was almost stale and watery sometimes but this location consistently gets it right. I just get a little grossed out ordering it in person because their employees don't seem to do a good job keeping the place sanitary. The sinks and appliances look like they need to be cleaned and the workers are never the friendliest. We get it delivered via Door Dash sometimes and the cream puffs always arrive in good shape. You can also refrigerate them and they still maintain their integrity the next day, nothing soggy, just pure deliciousness. Parking is great and they validate. Highly recommend this location over others in the area. read more

I would always see Beard Papa in Irvine whenever I went to get bubble tea from Orobae or was shopping at Mitsuwa or Daiso. (Never stopped by to take a look though.) When my friend and I were spending time in Little Tokyo before KCON, she spotted this one inside the same mall as Daiso and the Little Tokyo Market. She was surprised I have never tried it before and said we definitely needed to change that. This is on the first floor of the mall near the K-pop cafe. The mall has a structure but you can also find street parking. (Which my friend and I did - we chose a spot on the street that was between the places we wanted to walk to.) When we went in, it wasn't busy and they had some of their items but not the full assortment. When we asked about certain types of cream puffs, they apologized and explained that anything they had out at the moment was all they had. (Save for the original cream puff.) They didn't have chocolate or the honey flavors, which was a little disappointing. My friend thinks the chain has been trying to avoid throwing out excess food at the end of the day, but I was surprised two core flavors weren't available for purchase. I did go with the green tea one and my friend settled on an original. They filled the two puffs up on the spot and dusted the original with powdered sugar before packing them up for us. Prices weren't too bad, maybe a little higher because we were in LA? The green tea had a subtle green tea flavor and the pastry was soft and flaky. Cream was not overly sweet and they were generous with the amount they placed inside the puff. My friend liked hers and enjoyed it after KCON. I would consider stopping by the one closer to home if I wanted to try one of their other varieties. As for this location, it was not bad. Staff were polite but I think some of the workers were maybe starting to fade by the time we came in. read more

We were exploring around Little Tokyo and stumbled on Beard Papa's and figured a pastry would be good to try. There were quite a few good looking/sounding options on the menu. The staff was friendly enough when we ordered, but we were underwhelmed by the quality of the pastry, and relieved that we hadn't ordered more. We got the cookie puff with hopes that it would be good, but it was rather dry and the flavors were bland. The creme was the best part, but it wasn't balanced with the taste of the dried out pastry. It may have been an older batch, since we were there in the afternoon, but we hope that the quality is better at any other given time. read more

When in LA/Little Tokyo what do you do? You go to Beard Papa's of course! This was my second time returning to this location the first time being about 4 years ago. My excitement was quickly quashed by the rude service I received. I went inside to look at the display case and the female cashier told me I was not allowed inside until the current customers left. I understand following COVID guidelines but her tone was short and rude; she basically yelled at me. Her attitude was no better by the time we were *allowed* inside. She rolled her eyes as we looked over the menu (so many options to chose from!) and as we ordered she continued chit chatting with her associate. He also commiserated with her and chuckled as she rolled her eyes. ANYWAYS, the cream puffs! They were light and airy with a good cream to puff ratio. My friend didn't care for the chocolate one at all; she didn't like the dark chocolate and felt it was too bitter. I enjoyed the chocolate! The strawberry puff tasted fresh and sweet but not cloyingly so. Not sure if it was the dulce de leche or honey butter puff but that one was good as well just a bit sticky (obviously)! Beard Papa's is a sweet treat worth getting but due to the service at this location, 3.5 stars. read more

This branch has a larger selection of items besides the cream puffs compared to other locations. They haven't changed their cream puff recipe over the several years that I've known about them (even overseas), so the consistent and good quality flavors never disappoint. The actual pastry is a bit on the dry side though, and it's a bit messy to eat because the filling oozes out everywhere when you bite down. That being said, don't sleep on the matcha filled cream puff with matcha filling--it never disappoints. read more

One of the last few shops I've seen around. My local Beard Papa closed in Arcadia so I was very relieved to come back to this one! I love that fill their cream puffs right in front of you and it always taste very fresh. I hadn't been to this one in a very long time. The mall has been on a bit of a decline and the beard papas seems to have been affected by it too. The shop is pretty dim lit, they were out of ice cream and the tables out front were not clean. Nevertheless, the cashier was still very friendly while running the shop solo, the product was just as tasty as I remember and we had a nice quiet time outside in front. Parking is only a few dollars at the parking lot that is attached just behind the building. If you can't find any it is free on the streets after a certain hour. read more

A great cozy spot to pick up a sweet treat! It's located right at the entrance of the Little Tokyo Galleria can't miss it. Staff was great with helpful recommendations. I ended up getting a honey butter puff and an original puff both with vanilla cream. The honey butter had an extra sweet crisp to it while the original had more of a fluffy feel. Honestly can't go wrong with any pastry here. I will definitely stop by again. read more

Yummy cream puffs! This is the second time I've been here and the cream puffs are so good! This time I got a dulce de leche cream puff shell with the strawberry filling. Strawberry flavor is so good and very creamy. The caramel is sticky but worth it because it adds to the cream puff! I wouldn't recommend getting the cookie shell because it tastes the same and just is an extra charge for no reason in my opinion. The vanilla and strawberry cream are better than the hazelnut flavor in my opinion. I do wish the staff was a bit more helpful in answering questions and service can be a bit slow if someone is making a large order. read more
