    This is another good stop for a sweet treat while in Chinatown. There's all flavors of cream puffs and there's the option to add filling (dairy free folks can opt out). We loved the OG and ube flavors! The owner was very kind and welcoming and it was a small shop that's easy to swing in and out of.

    The cream puffs were the perfect amount of shell to cream ratio. The staff was attentive and working diligently preparing cream puffs to get the line moving! The shop is small but there's never a long line.

    Very small space and feels super cramped and stuffy. Had the original and green tea cream puffs - the cream puffs were anything but fresh. The cream puff filling was also too sweet and runny like whipped cream. Unfortunately, I did not feel good after eating them - feels like getting a sore throat after you have something stale, oily and sweet. However, the staff was very friendly and kind so any stars I have given are just for them.

    Came here with my daughter and it is a friendly place. Two tables for you to sit down and wait for your order or to enjoy your puffs. We got the matcha and ube and they were delicious. I can see why some fell in love after the first bite. I even got the matcha latte and it was very good. I happened to come 2 weeks before their Yelp Elite event.

    82 out of 100 Beard Papa's crispy cream puffs are filled with a light and airy whipped cream-like filling, which is not too sweet. There are limited dips (matcha, chocolate) available for now since it just opened, but I suspect more will be added soon. I'd recommend eating the dipped cream puffs upside down to get the best flavor experience. ------ Newly opened by the Chinatown arch, Beard Papa's is a Japanese chain offering handheld cream puffs. They are roughly the size of the palm of your hand. I ordered the matcha, chocolate, and original cream puff. 1. My favorite was the original cream puff because I personally like softer cream puffs. 2. The matcha was a close second- not grassy, and tasted closer to a white chocolate dip. 3. The chocolate was similar to an elevated chocolate eclair. The storefront is small; mainly just enough room just for ordering. Three puffs were enough for two people. There were some delays in getting our puffs because of the long line however, overall the service was fast and friendly once the baking caught up to orders. Overall, very tasty cream puffs and I would definitely return!

    Matcha+ Honey Butter

    Got the honey butter puff when it just came out of the oven. The crust was crunch and buttery. So delicious! Owner was very kind and explained about all the flavors.

    Epic Fail!

    Went from Bucks co. all the way to Chinatown for some beard papa's, and the place was closed. Looks abandoned inside. Sign says open, hours of operation are listed as 12-9, we were there around 12:30pm and nothing. Phones just ring and ring and ring.

    Cream Puff Six Pack

    Finally there is a Beard Papa's in Philly! Visited to see if the cream puffs were as tasty as I remembered. I ordered the six pack. Two Original, two chocolate eclair, two OREO. Three filled with OREO cream and three filled with vanilla cream. Just as good as I remembered. Will definitely return the next time I'm in Center City.

    Very small on the inside maybe two tiny tables! We had bought an ube, original and Oreos cream puff, as a first timer we wanted a little variety. We should have tried all of them they were absolutely delicious. The puff was airy light and same goes for the cream! Will definitely return for these Japanese treats!

    Came here few days before grand opening. Saw they opened and decided to stop by and order. I am a big fan of beard papa in the past and had big expectations. I got mixed 6 pieces. The filling is not what I used to know, heavy yellowish cream with strong vanilla taste. This one is more like light whipped cream that you would see on cakes. Taste is good but not the Beard Papa I know

    Federal Donuts & Chicken - Chicken Sandwich and Chocolate Toffee Donut

    Federal Donuts & Chicken

    About every time I go to Federal Donuts, I have a five star experience so this place has always…read moreimpressed me with its consistency and commitment to customer service. Recently, I found my chicken sandwich to be on the smaller side, looking almost like they accidentally used a tender instead of the usual breast (or half breast?). Today, I ordered an Early Bird breakfast sandwich (which did have a tender in it) and Hot Cocoa donut and they were really good. The smell of the sandwich permeates the air like a hot breakfast fresh off the grill. After I finished mine, I could smell the aroma of the sandwich on a freshly ordered one two seats away from me. The look and smell of the donuts makes me want not one but three, but I know that if I did that, I'd be fat as a house. The attention to detail on the little things really count and do get noticed. Take a look at the caps on the cups. Other restaurants can learn from this. Whatever caps they use on their fountain drinks... it's a phenomenal cap that won't pop off even when you squeeze the cup real hard. The branding on their cups, bags, and all around the store are sensational. Solomonov's team has done a great job on the logo. Now, I will say that there are some people who prefer the other type of donut - the fried dough donut - versus Federal Donut's cake donut. I sometimes flip back and forth between the two, but you can't dislike cake donuts. Each "Fancy" or "Classic" donut is like a little Bundt cake or cupcake. If you don't like cupcakes or Bundt cakes, you have no soul. Believe it or not, you can order a salad from Federal Donuts. There are two offered, but the stars of the show are the chicken sandwiches and the donuts. Go get them today!

    This spot was one of the only places open early on a weekend, so thank you for that!…read more My family and I enjoyed scoping out the unique and classic donut options. I have a guava donut, which I've never seen before, and it was hit the spot. My family enjoyed their more chocolate-forward donuts. The Vietnamese iced coffee is wonderfully caffeinated and helped us get through the day!
