Finally beard papa has landed in this part of the country. Always had them in LA. The shell is crunchy on the outside & sift on the inside filled with soft custard in the Centre. Many different types of shells to choose from. Chocolate shell, green tea shell, creme brûlée .... Currently they have two types of custard, regular & green tea. Hopefully they'll make chocolate custard in the future coz I think that would be s popular choice. Not sure why they don't sell drinks here at all. What's with that? This is a more To-go place. They only have benches for you to sit, no cafe tables or chairs, making the Centre of the shop look rather empty & funny. And tough luck if you want any cutlery, none whatsoever ! read more

I could eat these all day! The creme brûlée cream puff is to die for. Definitely the best cream puffs I've ever had. read more

THE CREME BRÛLÉE WITH VANILLA IS MY FAVORITE. I stood in line and got that and the original with green tea filling. I went back in line and got another creme brûlée. That hardened caramelized sugar. #yum #imtoofull read more

This is the first cream puff place that I've seen in Plano and it's really delicious!! I got the matcha shell with matcha filling, as well as the strawberry shell with vanilla filling. The cream puffs are priced at $3.50 each and are a little smaller than the size of ones palm. The cream puffs have a really good filling to shell ratio, with a good amount of filling that doesn't overflow or make the cream puff soggy. Most of the matcha and strawberry aspects of the shell come from the crust (?) Of matcha/strawberry chocolate (?) On top. This could just be for the holiday season but the strawberry shell also seemed to have hot tamales, which my sister and I were big fans of. Besides that, the cream puffs were light and fluffy and very enjoyable to eat. Out of the two, my sister and I both preferred the matcha one because it was less sweet and it had a good matcha flavor payoff. read more

Beard Papa’s Plano - Bakeries Near Me - Plano, Texas

Just checked them out for the soft opening on Friday. This was my first cream puff bakery experience, and it didn't disappoint! First, the store smells SO GOOD. I'd buy this scent as a candle. The wait was kind of long but expected for a soft opening. We got the green tea with green tea filling and the honey butter with vanilla filling. I really recommend the honey butter because it's not refrigerated like the chocolate and green tea shells are and the honey butter shell is nice and crispy. The soft opening only had 4 flavors (original, chocolate, green tea, honey butter) but I'll be coming back soon to check out the rest of the flavors! read more

Great tasting cream puffs! The filling was nice and creamy and the place was very clean. Would recommend.

Great service. Quality food & beverage. This is one of the best ones in this area! I always get the Mangonada extra spicy, it's the bomb Bonus: the interior is pretty nice inside & instagram picture worthy! read more

I was very excited to try Beard Papa's after rave reviews from my friend, and I wasn't disappointed the first time. The choux pastry was light and airy with just the right crunch and the filling was smooth, plentiful, not sweet, and just the right consistency. Then the 2nd time I went, a week later, the pastry shells were much smaller and the filling was not as plentiful and extremely liquid. One bite and EVERYTHING came flowing out. I was very disappointed and it wasn't because the puff got hot because I ate it as soon as I bought it. The franchise needs to be consistent in the size of the shells and the consistency of the filling or they will eventually lose customers. I also wish they would make the pastry shells without using soya bean as an ingredient. (I asked). Why do they need it in puff pastry? Unfortunately, lots of Asian bread and pastries contain soy. read more

Came here during their soft opening! It was "buy 5, get one free", so I decided to grab some for my family before heading home. Atmosphere: the interior is very bright, with yellow painted walls and a story behind Beard Papa's. As soon as you walk in, you can smell butter and puff pastry. As you stand in line and order, you can see the employees filling the pastries with your desired cream. There aren't many places to sit inside except for a high table to the left, but there are some tables outside. Pastries: these pastries are the bomb.com! They're very crunchy and light all throughout, while the cream is filled up to the brim. I ordered one of each, three with green tea cream and the other three with regular vanilla cream. My favorite was the honey + butter - it had some sort of glaze on top, making it extra sweet. Con - the only con I had about this place was the price. It is a bit expensive, especially if you're trying to buy for more than 5 people. I would also recommend eating it all in one sitting - I left mine in the fridge overnight and it got soggy. Overall, would come here to treat myself once in awhile! read more

My roommate has been so excited for this to come here in Texas and so I decided to visit after opening weekend. Not much of a line (which was nice) but it was also just before lunch on a weekday. The store itself isn't very large and only has some counter seating lining the walls (I think?), so not a place to hang with friends and enjoy desserts. I've never really been big on cream puffs (not big on stuffed baked goods to be honest) but figured I would give it a shot. Upon walking in, you could clearly smell the puff pastries being made (smelled good). You pick a puff shell (they had 6 available for around $3+ and one coming soon) and then a cream filling (only vanilla and green tea do not have an additional upcharge and 2 other flavors seemed to cost an additional $3+?). For me, these prices are a bit much for one baked good, especially if you want one of the other cream fillings. $6+ for one? That's a bit much... The cheapest option (regular with vanilla or green tea) is still $3.20. Nonetheless, I decided to try a couple out. I picked the chocolate with vanilla cream and honey and butter with vanilla cream. Like a noob, I forgot to take a picture when I got home (took it to go). I planned to share the puffs with my boyfriend and roommate, but realized very quickly that these puffs would not cut cleanly or evenly very easily. Still shareable, but expect for it to become messy. The outer shell tends to be fairly crunchy which contrasts the filling nicely. They were quite tasty. I definitely enjoyed both puffs and felt the inner cream wasn't overly sweet (which is a good thing). I liked that the shell was crunchy too. I'm definitely willing to come back and try/get some more puffs, but probably not too frequently. If it was a little cheaper, I'd probably be more willing to stop by more frequently. Plus... I don't even want to imagine how many calories one puff is... XD Anyways! Worth the hype of trying! I'll definitely be back. read more

This place was awesome even for their soft opening. The line was pretty long but they managed to get everyone's orders quickly and efficiently. The only thing was that their menu was limited because half of the flavors were "coming soon". I tried the honey butter shell and vanilla custard and it was so good! I don't know why other reviewers say that it's too sweet, it's literally a dessert place?? What do ya expect?? Anyway, it definitely reminded me of all the desserts I tried while in Japan because of the rich sweet flavor. Definitely will come back again when the other flavors are available! read more

Love this place! Had it in Vancouver and when the fiancée and I heard it opened one in Texas we knew we had to go! Original cream puff is the way to go, but the other varieties are great as well!! read more

I am so happy that Plano is blowing up with Asian dessert options! I had Beard Papa many years ago when visiting Vancouver and always remembered the shop so I was super excited to find out the Beard Papa's was coming to Plano! Upon walking in you are hit with the smell of fresh baked cream puffs. They offer a variety of dipped options such as chocolate, strawberry, honey/butter, matcha, or creme brulee. The fillings currently being offered are vanilla and matcha although I believe they have flavor of the month or alternating flavors at other locations so I hope they implement that here. I tried the chocolate dipped cream puff with vanilla filling. The cream puff was served cold so that the chocolate could harden. I absolutely loved my choice! There was a good layer of chocolate and it tasted rich and yummy. The vanilla filling was very light and not to sweet. The cream puff does get messy when biting in because the filling starts to squeeze out as well. The prices are a little expensive for one cream puff at $3+ but honestly what dessert place isn't expensive these days? I can't wait to come back and try the other flavors and fillings! read more

I'm happy that this place is conveniently close to where I live. I came here twice and was satisfied with both visits. On the first visit, I got the green tea cream puff with chocolate filling. At first I was really surprised by the filling, I was expecting it to more light and airy, however it similar to the consistency of melted ice cream. The chocolate was a bit overwhelming to me but still good! On my second visit, I got it with green tea filling and it was delicious!! Not overwhelmingly sweet! It's definitely very messy to eat so be prepared to have many napkins on hand. read more

If you enjoy a light dessert, and one that's not overly sweet you need to make a trip to Beard Papa's. Choose a shell, then filling, and bam! You're out the door. They are so fast, even when ordering six at a time they'll have me out faster than I can take my next breathe. Will return... many times. read more

Beard Papa’s Plano - Green tea and Chocolate Shell - Bakeries Near Me - Plano, Texas

I was surprised to find a beard papas in the Dallas area. If it's your first time here I highly recommend you try the original puff with vanilla filling . You won't be disappointed! read more

I'm not big on cream puffs but they make it pretty good. I liked the honey with green tea filling. We got the 5 get one free so we pretty much tried all the flavors. read more

I give this one a star less than the one in midtown Manhattan. They don't have ice cream as a filling, custard only. Highly disappointed but it's still worth eating here. read more

Super cute place and nice staff ! Always good service and the best creme puffs ! And at the best price:) I totally recommend coming here . I absolutely love it here read more

Puff pastries are very good, and Beard Papa's makes some killer puff pastries! When me and some family friends walked in the staff was soft spoken, and kind. It was a quiet and calm, so it was a nice wait until we got our food. The food itself was heavenly, the puff pastry itself was very soft and warm, the filling was creamy, silky, and flavorful! It was amazing. The inside is excellently decorated, and if you look to your left there is a while little sorry about the store and it's intriguing! It's a nice place to try out! read more

I am so hooked!! Green tea with green tea filling cream puff!!!! Dulce leches with caramel or classic cream .....yummmmm! My waist hates this place, but my tummy loves it!! read more

When I walk in..the smell of crash baked bakery got me all excited, but all I got was disappointment. The bakery was super dried and it was definitely not fresh! For the price, I thought I was getting robbed! read more

Very disappointed. The crust is only crispy, but not fluffy at all. The custard filling doesn't have too much flavor, and tastes pretty isolated from its crust. read more

I've been looking forward to this opening. They have some great and VERY large puffs! I've gotten the almond one w vanilla filling, the creme brûlée w vanilla filling & my husband had an original w green tea in it. They're made to order, so expect a small wait if you have some people ahead of you. The wait times fluctuate depending on who is behind the counter but, it's pretty consistent for the most part. read more

This place is so cute and nice! Delicious little cream puff pastries for a not too unhealthy dessert! Will definitely come back!

Great pastries! Even the cookies and cream filling (which sounds like overkill) is really great in these delicate pastry shells.

Beard Papa's cream puffs are huge & completely overfilled with custard inside. We've been wanting to try it so we ordered 3 puffs - Original/vanilla, strawberry & green tea. I thought the flavored puffs were rather too sweet, but I can see other people like it better than the original. Get yoself plenty of napkins because the custard situation is messy. Also don't make the same mistake I did of shoving the paper bag inside my purse. That custard will melt & they need sturdier paper bag. read more

I love this place. The cream puffs are huge, super fresh and always delicious! I don't go frequently, but when I do.... I never regret it! Lol! read more

When i first heard about this place I was very excited about the cream puffs. So of course I came during grand opening and luckily wasn't too busy. I ordered a variety of flavors and fillings. It turns out these suckers add up $$ pretty quickly. Overpriced in my opinion. The cream puffs were much larger than regular cream puffs if you're thinking about the frozen Costco puffs. Honestly, i think there is too much cream inside. It is very messy to eat and cream oozes out from every direction. It's practically impossible to eat withouts making a mess. read more

We went tonight- and were blown away! I think it's a great value at about 3.50 per cream puff- definitely a cheaper dessert. I had the honey butter puff with green tea filling- it was not too sweet ( which I was worried about) - and a great mix of textures. We had a group of six- and everyone got different flavor combos- but every single morsel was gone in about 4 minutes. Definitely give this place a try- you won't regret it! read more

DELICIOUS!!!! my most favorite is the green tea matcha , original, and chocolate covered. If you have a sweet tooth get the whole dozen!

Glad to see Beard Papa's make its way from CA to here in DFW. Went in during their soft opening and was limited to only 6 cream puffs per person and waited about 40 minutes. It was pricier than I remembered even with the 15% soft opening discount, those 6 cream puffs cost about $20. Like most things around DFW, anything opening from CA is probably just a hype and the crowds will dissipate (ie 85 Degrees, Daiso, Kura, etc.). read more

So excited that there's a location here now. We would visit the location in Los Angeles for years. The cream puffs are always fresh and tasty. read more

SO EXCITED to see Beard Papa appear in Plano! It's a cult favorite in California, for good reasons. The stores out there usually have lines. We love the cream puffs. Best: vanilla with creme brulee topping. Next best: vanilla in a chocolate covered cream puff. Tried dulce de leche cream puff, but wouldn't do that again. The caramel is very chewy and just not a great combination. Why mess with perfection? We also love the Paris Brest pastry (they call it something else, but it looks like a regular doughnut with a hole in the middle). It's filled with your choice of the same filling they use in the cream puffs. I could eat here Every. Single. Day. read more

Love the place, very clean and pastries where delicious, I will come back to try all the flavor!!definitely!!

The place is cute and it brought back a lot of memories from Sawtelle. But honestly the puffs lacked the flavors. My husband and I were so excited to visit the place since we graduated and moved out here for work. It was a total disappointment and totally not up to the hype. I felt so sad because I love the brand so much. read more

So fantastic! When you walk in the door you are immediately caressed with the delicious smells of the pate de choux and pastry cream. We tried several to make sure they were all as yummy as they smelled. They were! We tried the original, chocolate, honey and butter, and creme brûlée. They also have strawberry and green tea. They fill them as you order them so they are not soggy at all. The shell had a wonderful crust and tender insides. The cream was rich and tasty and they are not stingy with filling the puffs. The staff was very helpful and polite. Highly recommend you try this place if you are looking for a delicious treat! read more

I was so excited when I heard beard papa's was coming to the DAllas area, I've been to multiple locations in California and is always a must do when going to California. I stopped by at 830pm so this may be the reason for the disappointment. The cream puffs were not fresh and the filling was way too watery. The taste of the filling was also off. I will come back to give it another try in hopes that they improve and step up their game. read more

Their puffs are not only crunchy from the outside but also solf to the inside. I tried 5 different flavors today and bravos. All of them were good. The sauces not to sweet that make it extra delicious but i do wish they have more flavors such as nutella or banana. The zero degrees next door is good for boba teaholic with a cream puff on the hand, we all can have a unique tea party. Must recommend to friends and family read more

Went to soft opening during the first day. Waited 30 mins to get my order as each puff is made to order and weighted before giving to the customer. This is very typical of Japanese dessert quality, always fresh and constant. IT STILL TASTE THE SAME HOW I HAD IT IN ASIA 5 YEARS AGO. enough said. Thank you! read more
