Beard Papa's allows me to serve my community and build sales with something I love to do. Bake! Cream puffs were a favorite of mine when I was growing up and now I can share that with my customers. Their support is great and the variety is great as it changes each month.
These stores are part of my overall business mix and are unique in the dessert category. That was part of the attraction. Customers come back for the monthly flavors so there lots of variety. Operations are pretty straightforward and small footprint makes it easy for my kisok location.
This is an amazing pastry place. i'm not even a huge fan of cream puffs but these are incredible. the interior is very cute and aesthetically pleasing too. i would recommend the plain standard creams puffs shells with the vanilla filling. i will definitely be heading back here to try the gudetama egg themed cream puff!
Cream puffs for dessert is always a good idea! My go to is the crispy, airy original shell with a creamy and slightly sweet vanilla filling. Recently, we got to try their matcha filling and it is now my favorite. This shop is clean, has indoor seating, and service is pretty fast.
