First time we tried beard papa after eating lunch across from it. It was super delicious. Nothing like it anywhere. Wish we tried it sooner. Service was quick and cheerful. Nice take out with lots of seating nearby. read more

Beard Papa’s - Store front. Strawberry puff - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

I was a little bummed out by the service when they told me they couldn't serve me one of their fondants with ice cream because the ice cream was for the profiteroles. If that's the company policy, it shouldn't be, because the fondant is great with the ice cream. I know because I've had it at another location. That being said, I'm willing to give them a pass because the product is SO GOOD. It's the best cream puff I've ever had, and that custard filling is like no other Bavarian cream or pastry cream I've ever had. Even if I don't ever eat that fondant of theirs again, the cream puffs are enough to keep me coming back. read more

Oh.my.goodness! This is the second time I've had BP and forgot how amazing it is! We stopped by while waiting to get in to DTF and what a perfect snack it was! I ordered the ube puff with ube filling. Usually puffs are too sweet but this was the perfect amount of sweetness. The pump the puff with so much filling, you need to make sure you have a few napkins below. My bestie got the chocolate Dubai puff and said it was perfect and not too sweet. Definitely would recommend stopping by before or after a meal! read more

I visited Beard Papa's at Glendale Galleria on Monday afternoon, October 13th. I've been to other Beard Papa's locations before, but this was my first time at the Glendale Galleria one -- and it was just as delicious as the others! I usually get the Chocolate Fondant, but since I'm avoiding caffeine lately for my health. I decided to try the Vanilla flavor this time -- and it was absolutely delicious too. The staff were friendly and pleasant, which made the visit even better. Definitely a great Beard Papa's location to stop by for a sweet treat! read more

I LOVE bearded papas - I'm here once a week. The guy that helps me is the sweetest - and so accommodating. I had the I unfortunate displeasure of a girl who works here helping me today on Friday afternoon - and gosh she was horrendous. To the point of me fearing she did something to my daughter's ice cream puff - like I got that bad of a vibe from her.I asked her for a plate for my daughter - and she said "we haven't had plates for a long time". I laughed and was like ma'am I was here last week and got a plate...to which she rolled her eyes like I'm a liar. What she didn't realize is I have it on video of my daughter eating her ice cream puff last week from a black plate the guy working has given me every single time. Don't call customers liars ma'am - and you better not have done anything funny to my daughter's cream puff with ice cream... To make it even worse I told her I wanted the same thing I always get for myself - a mini puff with chocolate top and green tea filling - and she told me they don't have those and never had. What is actually wrong with you lady - but then they magically did. Seriously this lady doesn't deserve her job. read more

Delicious eclairs. I'm so glad they have a location in Glendale. They now offer a nice variety of glazes and fillings, though my go-to is still the classic with vanilla cream. Service is quick and efficient. My only suggestion would be to provide a small container of powdered sugar on the side for to-go orders, so it can be added fresh right before eating. Conveniently located inside Glendale Galleria. read more

I came here to obtain a stamp on my card. I was trying to earn enough stamps so that I could get a yelp goodie bag. Free parking because it's located near the food court at the Glendale Gallaria. Quite a few places to sit if you are lucky enough to get a table which I was. Not much ambiance since I'm sitting in a crowded mall. The young lady helping me wasn't too sure what to do in regard to the yelp card, but thank goodness there was someone there to assist her. I was surprised how small and expensive the mini was!! Bought only one and it tasted fine if you like a pastry with cream in it. I got the green tea filling. read more

Beard Papa’s - Mini with green tea filling - Bakeries Near Me - Glendale, California

The area looked disorganized and there was no one to be found for 10 minutes. The space could be a little cleaner. Other customers came by and got fed up waiting. Finally a mother and her teenage girl came. The teen saw the doorbell, probably because it was at her eye level. The main glass area where the register is might be the best location for the door bell as most people go to that area to look for staff. If that is not possible, please try to make the door bell more visible so that it can be seen from a distance. As for the items I purchased, I decided to try the Dubai chocolate shell with the chocolate filling ($5.25) as it looked delicious on your poster. The chocolate shell was too thick that when I bit into it hard enough to crack it, a lot of the filling oozed out of it and onto the paper and my hand. There was also only a light hint of pistachio and more of dark chocolate. I also wanted to try the Sakura matcha eclair with green tea filling which is what I pointed to and ordered, but was given the green tea eclair ($5) instead. I do not recommend combining two green teas as it intensifies the flavor; try vanilla instead. read more

Omg I was so happy to find this as I am from NJ and I only thought this was a New York dessert spot and it's one of my mom's favorites. I ended up getting the mini matcha and mini strawberry and then peanut butter for my husband. All 3 were delicious and brought me right back to home read more

It is located close to the food court. There is a seating area right in front of the store. The Service: Matthew was helping me at the counter. Super friendly and efficient. He prepared my giant creme puffs beautifully! The Dessert: There are 4 flavors of the cream filling, chocolate, vanilla, green tea and coconut. Super generous, every bit with overflow fillings. I always love their chocolate, strawberry and green tea eclairs. This time I wanted to try the fancy ones, Oreo crumble, honey butter and churro eclairs. OMG! They are my new favorites now! Definitely bring these creme puffs to the next level. I love to mix & match the shells with different fillings. Fresh baked pastries with nicely chilled fillings. They are perfect dessert or gifts for any occasion. The Parking: Park at Garage A (free). read more

Beard Papa is a Santa Claus type of character (cue kindness and a fluffy white beard), named Yuji Hirota, a baker from Osaka, Japan. If you didn't know, the Osaka/Kobe area of Japan is famous for sweets and baked goods. It's my mom's hometown! Beard Papa is celebrating its 25th year and now has over 475 stores worldwide. These are delicate cream puffs and not on an American level of sweetness. These are much more subtle, in the Japanese confectionary style. The filling ratio is a secret recipe- a combination of whipped cream and vanilla custard cream and they are $4.50 each, filled to order. I do have two wishes: I wish they had a strawberry cream filling and I wish they'd give you a napkin without having to ask! Other than that, Beard Papa cream puffs are a satisfying treat. I normally get the strawberry puff with coconut cream and my mom approves of the matcha green tea puff with green tea cream filling. Today, I tried the chocolate eclair with coconut filling. Tasty and light with just the right amount of sweetness. read more

8/9/24 Friday Customer service was horrible when I first visited this location. When I first arrived, the counter was empty, you have to ring a bell in order for an employee to come out and assist. it appeared as if they were already getting ready to close the shop for the day. I inquired about an event online and both were clueless about it. I bought with my own money one of their cream puffs. Green tea kind, and cream filling was just right. (Not a treat that I would want to come all the way out here for it unless I'm already in the mall shopping) **I had to re write this review because yelp thought they could remove my previous one under assumption- it actually still counts as a real review because I paid out of pocket for this dessert-so I get to write about my experience and y'all need to leave my review alone. The fact that I included the "treat o clock series" (my understanding is I still pay and support businesses while collecting stamps) in my previous review is to show the public what I went through, no check in-offer honored nor stamp collected during my own visit. It was not an elite related visit either, that elite visit happened after the fact. Thanks in advance. read more

So delicious! My parents and I prefer the big cream puff (regular with vanilla filling and topped with powdered sugar). The exterior is kinda crunchy (not too much) and the filling is very generous. My sister likes the mini versions of those cream puffs. These are more crispy with less filling (not overflowing like the big ones). Regardless, we are more a fan of the original cream puffs. Haven't tried different filling flavors. But I'm certain we don't like the ones dipped in chocolate. We ordered a dozen mini eclairs for once; the chocolate on top pushed the dessert into being "too sweet." read more

This place is great for a quick treat!! Worth the $$ for sure!! It's delicious and the chocolate filling reminded me of chocolate pudding!! Very delicious and well worthy of having as a snack for the mall!!!! read more

$2.75 for a mini cream puff. No regular puffs available, just the chocolate covered. Guy handed me a puff in a cupcake holder- no bag, no napkin. read more

The good: My husband and I were already full but we couldn't turn down an opportunity to get some cream puffs from brrr. I tried Oreo, matcha and strawberry cream puffs with vanilla and Vietnamese coffee cream filling. I got six and liked the cute packaging. These are great options for potlucks or parties (if there's a fridge available). I like the light texture of the puff and the subtle sweetness of the custard. My husband is a sucker for these desserts. Their logo is super cute. The bad; The Vietnamese coffee filling was butter. The custard oozed out too easily. It was messy to eat. The matcha puff didn't have much matcha flavor. I wish there were more cream flavor options. The interesting; These shops are always located inside a mall or market. I've been to 4 other locations and each one sells flavors that seem to be slightly different from one another. read more

Customer service at this location is terrible, first of all the workers are in the back somewhere hanging out, no where to be found at the front. I observed for an about an hour and multiple customers stopped by but left because no one was there to help them. And the short girl working there had an attitude, no friendly customer service or enough minis for the weekend. read more

We stopped by on the perfect day because they were having their 1 year anniversary celebration with a special promo, buy 1 get 1 free eclair shells all day on 2/19/2023. We got the Green Tea Eclair Shell, Strawberry Eclair Shell, and Honey Butter Eclair Shell (x2) all with original vanilla filling. Our favorite was the honey butter ones. It was so yummy and not too sweet. The green tea and strawberry cream puffs were too sweet, maybe it's the icing on top. Quick service and it wasn't busy at all. We ordered and got our cream puffs immediately. You need to eat these right away when it's still fresh. Otherwise it wouldn't taste as good. read more

I LOVE Beard Papa's, especially this location! It's my favorite place to get desserts at the Glendale Galleria. I usually stop by every time I visit the mall. Service is always super fast! The shells are already made so they just add the filling and hand it to you. I like how you can customize the shell (original or eclair), filling (vanilla, chocolate, or green tea), and they also asked if I wanted powdered sugar on top! When it comes out, the crispy shell with the cold sweet cream makes for an absolutely heavenly treat!!! There's plenty of filling inside as well. Make sure to grab napkins because it can be messy the more you bite into it! Also, the service today was exceptional as my cream puffs were packaged nicely and came in super cute liners, which I haven't seen them use before. They even currently have a collab with the anime, Mashle: Magic and Muscles, which I thought was GENIUS on their part. You can grab themed cream puffs and merch! I highly recommend going!!! read more

Tucked away just off the main food court, the Beard Papa is hidden from most of the foot traffic in that section of the mall. You either have to be looking for it or serendipitously find it while wandering the mall. If you've had Beard Papa's they have excellent cream puffs with a variety of fillings and shells. They're light and airy and are an excellent treat to have while shopping at the mall. They can be a little messy with the powdered sugar and a generous dollop of cream filling so watch yourself. It's mall food court so it's loud and the tables are kind of haphazardly cleaned, but it's a good chance to get off your feet. I recommend this place over the Dunkin Donuts nearby. read more

I love Beard Papa's! No matter what location you visit, you can reliably expect to get super tasty cream puffs. I have visited locations in Japan, Hawaii, downtown LA and here at the Glendale Galleria. Today's visit at the Galleria was great! There was only one person working, but I didn't have to wait long to be helped. The person working at the counter was very helpful, friendly and she packaged my cream puffs with care. :) I ordered 3- the special Gudetama version with a lemon topping and vanilla filling, chocolate eclair & strawberry eclair both with chocolate filling. So far, I've only the Gudetama version and it was meccha oishii/super tasty! read more

I always get a Honey Butter cream puff with Vanilla. It's sooo good. It makes me crazy. I also got a Green Tea Eclair with Green Tea filling. TIP: Park near the McDonald's at the Glendale Galleria Parking Lot to be rebar Beatd Papa's and Kura (another place I love to go to)! read more

Hope the owner knows they lose a ton of business because no one is manning the register, and customers are standing around waiting for anyone to come out and help.

My girl recommended this place. She loves sweets and desserts. We stopped here during the holidays to get treats for us, and for family during Christmas. One of the best bakeries here in Glendale with a low key attitude. I love the tea cakes and chocolate cream cakes. We bought a dozen of them to take home, and for the Christmas gathering. Let me say, these only lasted an hour. My family love the Beard Papas treats. Nice people cool staff, we wii be back for more. read more

This was a pleasant surprise. I have heard of this business, but didn't know that they had creampuffs. Being a first timer, the cashier was nice to give me a mall employee discount for my order. The custard that they fill the cream puffs is heavenly.... I tried the chocolate and vanilla. For sure, I will be back for more read more

I got the matcha eclair with matcha filling. The filling had really good matcha flavor. Highly recommend if you love matcha.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while now. I got the Strawberry covered puff and the original puff. The Strawberry puff had horchata filling, and the original puff had the vanilla custard. Both were great, and had lots of filling. The filling overflowed in my mouth after the first bite, so be careful, ask for extra napkins. This place has the best cream puffs in the world. read more

Tasty cream puffs! Original (vanilla) is the best. I also tried the churro puff with chocolate filling and it was tasty, but not as good as the original. read more

First time coming here as we have walked past many times. If I can give zero stars, I would. First, the counter was empty and no employee to be seen. You have to ring a bell to notify them you want help. A young man with chin length hair and blue eyes walked out from the back and attended us. As soon as we started ordering, the employee began to make faces and continuously rolling his eyes. He did not smile once. It's so unfortunate that our first experience here was terrible. This job is focused on customer service and the employees don't know how to give that. He should not be working there. This counter will lose business if heand any other employees like this, continue working here. read more

You should be updating your hours to reflect the time you actually close. On yelp it list 8pm. At the actual store front it says 7pm. We got there at 6:40pm. Lights were already turned off and no products were in the case. Employees had pretty much already cleaned up. At least two other families got there almost at the same time and we're also confused. If you're not serving any food 15-20 minutes before the time listed of "closed," please update that your actual closing hours are-- 6:30pm perhaps? Disappointing. read more

My latest visit to Beard Papa's was good. I couldn't resist. I ended up getting the 6 pack. One thing I did notice was that most of their pre-set paired classic shells and flavors are the best. I don't know why I ever thought that I' need to sorta second guess them. I love their classic custard filling in any and all of the shells, esp the churro one. I wanna get that the next time I stop by, if they still have it. One thing that I can say is that you should let these little guys warm up a little bit from the time that you purchase them. If not, the shell might be a bit hard. It's not a bad hard texture or anything but it might just taste that much bette if you do wait. I got nothing but great customer service. And although there was a rather lengthy line that I was in, it was worth the time. The employees thanked us for our patience and did a great job in getting us through the line quickly and without any errors. Awesome! read more

Best little cream puffs around, not too sweet and nice texture. Very fresh as well with several choices

It's a small stand near to the food court, not actually in the food court. There's a pathway to the side that'll take you to its location. The puffs themselves were good. I'm excited to try more. I didn't know we got to pick the flavor of filling inside as well. read more

I was so excited to try this place I had been eyeing at galleria! I ordered a ice tea and two of the cream puffs and was rejected a cup of water!!! Unbelievable! After being a paying customer I was refused a small cup of water. The employee said "we don't really do that here" with a disgruntled look. I also had to ask for napkins (since none were given) and only gave me 2 knowing that the cream puffs are extremely messy. She did not look like she wanted to be working. Definitely won't be coming back , customer service should be your number one priority. So stingy. read more
