Beard Papa’s

Such a guilty pleasure. Seriously the best puffs in town. No other place even comes close. Green tea is a must try!

I love these pastries because they are light, fluffy, and in my opinion delicious. If you like very sweet items this is not like that at all but rather a refreshing dessert. I do agree it is over priced, but it worth it as an occasional treat. I get the minis (5 for $ 5) because i can eat them in one bite. Personally plain vanilla is my favorite, but matcha is not too bad.
I love that they make the cream and the flakey outside in house, and right next door in the same building is a bubble tea house.

This place is little, cute, and delicious. It is quite pricey for the little puffs you get. And the pain one is a little bit bland. Or perhaps not enough cream per puff.
I recommend the dulce de Leche, however I’d imagine the green tea ones are good… But it was too expensive for me to buy more than the one I tasted (and the free one I got for checking in!).

I had a coco one with green tea filling. Very, very tasty. And reasonably priced. I’ll get it again. Customer service is a little ho-​hum, but their items are well worth getting.

Came here with a friend and these cream puffs were way pricier than ones you can get at bakeries. The matcha cream was light and fluffy but the choux pastry was quite bland. We got the original shell and Paris Brest but the pastry part needs work. It was chewy and hard, not soft and flaky. Very pricey for such small items.
The service was kind of slow when we were the only ones there.

Please don’t expect this to be a regular full menu Beard Papa’s… They mostly only serve puffs and eclairs. Cashier was looking at me funny when I ask if they have their famous cheesecake sticks.
Orders of mini puffs come in 5 not 6. Please note because your cashier will tell you they don’t understand why you’re ordering 6, they come in 5(with eye roll)… Sigh…
Nonetheless best cream puffs, not too sweet. Don’t save them for next day because they are nearly as good as right then and there.

I stopped by here just to see what the ravings are all about.
As soon as I entered the shop, the aroma of the pastry hit up to my nose, and I knew I had to try that out.
I ordered a box with 7 cream puffs both in vanilla and green tea fillings to share with my family. I must say it tasted good when it’s warm, but I left one piece out for about an hour and it’s a bit chewy. The green tea filling wasn’t too sweet which I liked, but I thought nothing special about it, not to mention it’s such a mess to eat, the flakey and the dripping cream would be all over.
I’d consider to eat it for fun but not too crazy about it.

Average tasting cream puffs. Got the mini puffs so we could share. The cream inside isn’t too sweet which was good. It had a hollow feeling to the cream puff and could use some more «meat» surrounding the filling. Nonetheless it’s a good snack and with a name like that, I’m sure lots of tourists will keep coming. It’s next door to Chatime which is mutually good for business.
I’ll likely not buy more from here since I’m not dying for cream puffs but it’s good to try at least once.

These are amazing! I’d highly recommend the éclair version with the chocolate because it is so freaking ridiculously good.
Service is super slow and careless which is why I deducted a star.
If you check in on Unilocal they’ll give you a free mini cream puff (but they probably will «forget» to include it in your order so you will most likely have to ask for it again)!

After driving by this adorable little shop countless times, I finally made good on my promise that is stop by and indulge. With my fiancé in toe, we stepped inside this cheerful, bright bastion of puff pastry deliciousness and chatted with an exceptionally friendly and helpful staff member who walked us through the options.
The countertop menu was very clear and easy to understand, and the cashier helpfully explained that the dulce de leche and éclair puffs were the most popular, the former filled with cream and fresh caramel, the latter finished with a richly aromatic dark Belgian chocolate. Filled to order with generous amounts of decadent pastry cream, both puffs were absolutely delicious. The puff itself was fresh and soft and the perfect, not-​too-​sweet complement to the rich and silky smooth filling.
It was definitely worth stopping in, and next time I’m sure we will try the mochi they also offer, in flavors like vanilla, chocolate, Sakura, and green tea. And even though we aren’t typically huge fans of bubble tea, the other side of the shop that makes it looks pretty awesome, so we might just have to give it a go!
We will definitely be back!

The stuff from here is pretty good and is properly made. Not too sweet, lots of the correct flavors. It can get crowded sometimes and the line might be long, so be aware.

Wow. These puffs were amazing. We had the regular and the éclair with vanilla cream. Everything from the cream to the crusts were perfect. Now I understand the big hype about this place.
I’m not even a fan of cream puffs, and frankly a store with an old Santa looking man in yellow clothes just never appealed to me. But I think I can overlook these now at Beard Papa.

You can definitely follow the delicious sweet smell to this little bakery. It in the middle of Chinatown and don’t let the small storefront fool you, this place is packed with yummy sweets. These light and fluffy cream puffs are a must try if you’re in the area. It is flaky on the outside and you can select what type of shell you want. There’s a variety of options for the inside cream as well. There’s green tea, chocolate, and many more flavors. Also, if you check in on Unilocal you get a free mini vanilla puff. We ordered a regular plain vanilla cream puff and it was a good size to share. Or if you really have a sweet tooth, you might not want to share cause it’s so good.

I tried the green tea cream puff here and I’d say it earns an overall rating of 3.5.
First, I really liked the puff pastry itself; it was crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and fresh. I’ve had some cream puffs that were stale which totally ruined my interest but that certainly wasn’t the case here. Plus, you can’t argue with the size — they’re large.
Puff pastry: 4.0
On the other hand, the green tea cream filling was just a tad disappointing. Yes, it was green and yes, it was cream but it didn’t really have a green tea flavor. I’m glad the cream itself wasn’t too sweet so that you can still taste the pastry with each bite. Unfortunately, I was expecting more of a green tea taste; I’m not sure I’d be able to differentiate it from a normal cream puff if I didn’t see the color.
Green tea cream: 3.0

Fresh and pretty quick service. I got the dulce de leche puff filled with chocolate cream. You can really taste the difference compared to the frozen crème puffs that I’m used to. I actually preferred the classic vanilla mini puff over the fancier ones. Definitely returning to try more combos!

Overall: 4.5
Food: 5
Service: 4
Value: 4
Delicious cream puffs! The most popular, the original vanilla, is super soft and creamy on the inside.
You can also order Lady M cakes to be picked up here.

Delicious cream puff! I had the dulce de leche with the original filling. The custard filling was light and creamy without being too sweet. It tasted so good with the caramel. I also liked that the shell wasn’t sweet either. Perfect and light dessert. My friend enjoyed the free mini cream puff with the Unilocal check-​in. Awesome!
I liked the seating too which was just one long table with about 10 chairs by the window.

I came during almost closing time 10:40 (because thats the only time when there is no boston traffic & easy parking)
This place was pretty easy to miss and drive pass, its right across the street from the juice bar.
Anywho, they only had original & dulce de leche left so i tried those 2 in vanilla. It was ready for me in 3 minutes despite a long line the line goes quickly
The puffs: for some reason i thought they were going to be hot but they were the opposite! The filling was cold and the puff was also cold!
Taste: original was too bland for my taste! But i loved the dulce de leche! It was savory and messy to eat!
I can’t wait to come back and try green tea & everything on their menu.
Oh and grabbing a milk tea next door might be a good idea! You really need a good drink to wash down the sweetness after

It can’t be a coincidence that the Beard Papa’s logo looks vaguely like a cartoon God in a yellow hat – this place is heaven!
Beard Papa’s made a warm, sweet-​smelling haven on a rainy late fall night. This store is super clean, bright, and organized. One person works the cash register while another person fills your pastry to order. The menu is clear and has just enough options to feel exciting without being overwhelming.
The pastry itself was perfectly crisp. (There was a sign saying that the cream puff has two layers: one layer «inspired by pie crust,» and one layer of classic choux. I’m not 100% sure that the distinction came through, but interesting nonetheless.) The original pastry cream was thick and full of flecks of vanilla bean. Overall, the plain cream puff was indulgent but not too sweet. And at a few cents less than $ 3, it made the perfect portion at the perfect price. Move over, bubble tea! There’s a new sweet snack in Chinatown.

I’m not usually a fan of crème puffs but they have the option to get them filled with vanilla, green tea, and flavor of the day which was strawberry when I came in.
You choose the outer shell and then choose the filling. I was worried the green tea filling would be bitter but it was actually really good! It’s a little pricey.
The staff wasn’t so friendly. The logo is super cute!
