    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.

    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.

    After walking around the Galleria- we needed something to cool off . Found this cream puff deli to try. Not too sweet yet delicious. Will recommend- 5 stars.

    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.

    I Visited this dessert shop was from another trip driving back to Glendale Galleria, CA. I got their green tea cream puffs again. Staff was friendly and parking was free right off the parking structure inside Glendale Galleria, CA. This is a dessert shop around the food court. I bought the 6-pack to go. If I feel like something sweet again, I'd return here to support them again. They offer the frequent buyer stamp cards. Aside from Glendale, they also hold a couple branches from Little Tokyo and Pasadena. I chose to revisit them here was due to easier parking situations. I'll be back again in the future.

    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).

    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.

    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!!!!

    No workers in sight

    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.

    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.

    Original Shell with vanilla filling and powdered sugar on top

    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!!!

I happened to be at the tire shop across the street getting the tires changed on my car and needed to pick up some pastries for guests that were coming over that same day. One of those guests happens to be a baker so I really needed to find some fresh delicious pastries. I checked Yelp for nearby bakeries and La Jaconde popped up with really great reviews so I drove right across the street and picked up some baked goods. I picked up this big pastry that was stuffed with cream cheese and sour cherries (TRUST ME you want this), a box of mixed cookies and bite sized goodies, and a box of stuffed dates (don't knock it until you try it). EVERYTHING was fresh. Everything was tasty. And it got the stamp of approval from the baker friend. The cream cheese and sour cherry stuffed bakery literally disappeared in 10 minutes, and that thing was not small by any means. I returned to this same place the following week to pick up some savory baked goods for some friends, and the owner was at the shop and was so kind and so proud of his products (as he should be). Needless to say this is going to be my bakery of choice. I'd drive past 5 shops to get to this one any day.

The desserts look…read morelike edible artwork with velvet finishes, mirror glazes, and incredibly detailed presentation. I tried the Tropical Mango entremet and absolutely loved it. Light, silky, refreshing, and packed with tropical flavor without feeling too sweet. I also tried the raspberry chocolate pastry which was beautifully executed with raspberry compote and chocolate mousse, but I'm just very particular about chocolate-forward desserts. The iced vanilla latte was the perfect balance alongside the pastries, and I ended up leaving with a handful of macarons that were honestly addictive. Every flavor was delicious. Love the outdoor seating too. Perfect spot to slow down for a minute, enjoy a coffee, and have a really elevated pastry experience.

    Artelice used to be okay when they first opened years ago. The pastries were refined, buttery,…read moreelegant, and actually reminded me of real French pâtisseries. Their New York rolls were full, rich, flaky, and flavorful. Unfortunately, over the past year, the quality has gone completely downhill. The croissants are now dry, overcooked, and tasteless , even early in the morning. It honestly feels like they changed the butter because the flavor is gone. The pastries look beautiful for Instagram, but the taste no longer matches the image. People probably come for the terrace and the "Paris" aesthetic, but nothing about these pastries feels authentically French anymore. The owner is Iranian and honestly should stick to Iranian pastries instead of trying to market this place as a French pâtisserie, because it is nowhere close to the quality or refinement of a real French pastry shop. On top of that, customer service is terrible. The employees are rude, impatient, and act bothered when you ask simple questions like the price of a croissants ; especially since prices are not clearly displayed. Paying almost $7 for a croissant or New York roll, and $10+ for many pastries, would maybe be acceptable with excellent quality and service... but definitely not with dry pastries and rude staff. Parking is another nightmare. There's no dedicated parking lot, so you have to park on San Fernando, pay for parking, and parking enforcement is constantly circling waiting to ticket people the second your time expires. This was my last visit. Save your money and go elsewhere for pastries -- honestly, even Whole Foods does better at this point.
