I've never seen such amazing cream puffs in my life. Beard Papa's does an amazing job at allowing you to customize cream puffs to your desire and savor them. If you have an itch to try new desserts that usually don't have a store dedicated to them, make sure you try these cream puffs. I recommend the green tea filling. read more

We in at 8:10 they were still open but said since they closed at 9 they were out and we're not going to make more. I saw person after person going in coming out mad. So upsetting since they did not close for another 50 minutes! read more

Hubs loved these cream puffs but I'm not a cream puff kind of girl. So if you like them, service is good and there's a variety of flavors to fill them with. Cute shop, good location. read more

I'm so excited to share my love for Beard Papa's! Whenever I'm back home in California, I always think about grabbing a treat from this place, but now I don't have to wait for a trip to Cali to get this - it's already here!! I'm so happy they opened in the Dallas area. Compared to some locations I've been to in the past, they don't really have seating or much decorations, but this location definitely has more of it. What I like about these is that they are made not too sweet compared to other American cream puffs. Additionally, I have a background in baking and pastry, so I appreciate how well these are made and would like to address some concerns (due to some reviews). The pastry bread part isn't supposed to be sweet (or taste like much really) - they're supposed to be light and airy so that the cream becomes encapsulated in the pastry. Also, these are an asian derivative of "cream puffs", so they're going to be different compared to European-style puffs. I'd say that they made them well to accommodate the popularity of baked goods in Asia - not too sweet filling and fluffy inside. The price that these go for are better compared to other bakeries and grocery stores that sell them, especially when these are rather large cream puffs! read more

Good quality and tasty but not for me. Flavors to get: creme brûlée and the honey butter shell with regular filling. The honey butter makes it so crispy on the outside! The green tea matcha flavor was over powering for me. It wasn't too sweet but too much flavor I was not expecting in a creme puff. read more

Love the desserts!!! I think my favorite is the creme brûlée!!! Extremely dense, sweet and creamy! It smells amazing too! The pastries are always fresh! I was told they make it every two to three hours! read more

great "cream Puff" we tried the regular and also the green tea, Creme Brulee and Cookies and cream ! all tasted really good .... not too sweet ... just right and the texture of the puff is good also.... I kept a few over night in refrigerator and it still taste good. All in all very satisfied and happy that we finally have Beard Papa here in DFw area.! we have this in Asia read more

The aroma in here is soo delicious. So friendly & they were really nice. So many puffs to choose from. There is a new one on the menu cookies n creme filled with also cookies n creme. And the almond filled with green tea. It's almost like a filled doughnut but it's not lol the creme puff is much better and more satisfying. I'll definitely return to try the other flavors! read more

Delicious filled-to-order, freshly made-in-house cream puffs! Are they worth the $3 and some cents? They are if your brother's treating you to them, haha (thanks, bro). Beard Papa's is pretty poppin' on the East coast and West coast (and obviously Japan since it is a Japanese chain) so I feel pretty blessed to have one here in good ol' Plano. I was able to try the original and the honey & butter shells. The other flavors looked really cute but I don't get too adventurous with cream puffs and like to keep it simple. The outer shell is a Japanese choux that is pretty light and flaky. The honey & butter shell is pretty good though, it adds a nice layer of sweetness. I love that vanilla custard filling and I love how much of it is packed into the cream puff. It's sweet but not too sweet and is cool, creamy, and delicious. Good balance of flavors between the cream puff shell and the custard filling. read more

Cute little idea, isn't it? Got the matcha filling and the matcha topping because hey it's different. Tasted heavenly. However, when I took the first bite the filling exploded everywhere. I've since read other reviews that said the ones with the toppings make it harden. It's still a cute idea though... read more

CREAM PUFF GALORE!!! This small, cute dessert shop features... cream puffs! Big cream puffs filled with delicious whipped cream and topped with your choice of topping! While the shop is small, the flavors are definitely not. The menu only really features a few items, but you and mix and match the toppings (ex. matcha, strawberry, creme brûlée) with filling (ex. matcha, vanilla). The puffs are topped and filled to order! I ordered a matcha cream puff with a matcha filling and a creme brûlée top with a vanilla filling. I definitely recommend the matcha filling over the vanilla filling. They both aren't overly sweet and the cream is nice and fluffy as well. Overall, definitely recommend this place! It's hard not leaving with more than just one or two cream puffs. read more

We enjoyed the caramel cream puff with cookies and cream filling (a mouthful in more way than one) but not the bug we saw in the restaurant. read more

I try to come here when I can. It's really good I usually try different ones everytime I go and owner is super nice.

It's finally in Dallas! YAY! I have loved Beard Papa's since I stumbled into one in SF years ago. They have the dreamiest cream puffs! I love how big and crunchy the shell is, and the creams are silky and delicious. It's great that they make to order, and it's always fun to watch them fill your puffs. I'm a big fan of the original puffs with matcha filling or vanilla. A must go! read more

Not a huge cream puff fan but this place has some nice flavors going for them. Each cream puff is filled after you order them. I think your options are vanilla or green matcha? Iono. But it's very fresh and they load those suckers w cream. The cream is probably the best thing about it. Couple negatives, nothing to drink there? Limited seating, need fork and knife probably to eat those things cleanly. Also want to note that these things aren't too sweet, nice change of pace. read more

We ordered one of everything except green tea and all with the vanilla filling (original, creme brûlée, strawberry, chocolate, honey and butter). The puff was a bit hard/crunchy. I wish it was fluffier and it would make eating this cream puff probably much easier but because of the crunchy exterior and biting hard all that cream just oozes out and then it became super messy. From the outside we couldn't differentiate the original and the honey and butter and when we tried them both they tasted the exact same so still not sure which was which. Couldn't really taste any strawberry and I only tasted a little bit of the creme brûlée. Overall it was okay. It was a good experience but I'm not gonna rush back out here any chance I get. read more

Beard Pappa's is pretty well known in Japan. It's amazing, if you understand the concept. It isn't suppose to be your store bought creme puffs or the typical asian pastry that has a soft bread like outer. These babies are a cross between a French choux ( pâte à choux ) and a creme puff custard filling. In a choux, the outer shell is golden with a slightly crunchy consistenncy while the inside is fluffy and airy - which is what this is. The custard filling inside is cool the the touch, not warm, while being lighter than your typical asian pastry custard. Think of it as a whipped, melted ice cream. No, it isn't super sweet ( the original ), unless you get the ones with icing - that makes it really sweet. A choux's filling is heaaaavy, with a light outter. While an asian creme puff has a heavy shell, yet light filling. So this is a nice balance. read more

I've been waiting to try this bakery with the adorable name. I'm not a huge fan of creamy desserts, but heard so many friends raving about the ones from here that I had to try. I stopped by on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't very busy. The shop is filled with the aroma of fresh baked cream puffs. I tried the matcha, strawberry, creme brule, and cookies and cream. Everything looks and smells delicious. The aroma of each flavor really comes through. And when I took a bite... Yum! The pastry is crispy and flaky on the outside with delicious custard inside. Personally, I ate mostly the pastry part and left a lot of the custard lol. I'll definitely stop by again and buy as gifts too. read more

I like their cream puffs and am so glad that they finally opened a store here in Plano. I haven't had a Beard Papa's cream puff since 2011 when I was in Vancouver. BUT their attitude is less than desirable. I asked them if I needed to order ahead for an order and they looked at me like an idiot. I was ordering for a birthday and wanted to make sure that there would be enough cream puffs! Needless to say, the one in Vancouver was much better at customer service. I might go back if I get a really bad craving, but other than that, no thanks! read more

I'm actually not a huge fan of cream puffs in general, but I love Beard Papa's! These are HUGE and they're filled to the brim with filling. My favorite is the original puff with the chocolate filling, but I really enjoyed all the flavors I've tried. The cream puff itself is soft and flaky, the filling isn't overly sweet, and it goes great with a cup of tea! It still tastes great even if you toast it the next day. Definitely worth a try if you have a sweet tooth! read more

THE SMELLS. The store smells freakin' amazing! I was so excited that Beard Papa's made its way from California to home for me :) Running from about $3-4, these cream puffs are truly a delight! They have a wide variety of outer puff shells to pick from, as well as fillings. My person and I tried a creme brulee puff and a honey+butter with strawberry filling. The strawberry filling was delicious and probably my go-to in the future! The honey+butter gave the puff a nice crunch! The creme brulee was good, but probably not something I would get again in the future. The vanilla filling on this was on point, so definitely something I want to try with another shell. The seating in here is limited to a couple of barstools against the window/wall. But if you want extra seating or water, they cashier recommended going next door to Zero Degrees - apparently, they're associated in some way and will let you hang out in there as well! We opted to hang out in the small space and enjoy the sweet smells and the bright vibrant colors of the store. With the exception of the small space and $, this is a win for me and I can't wait to go back! read more

This place is so good. My favorite is the honey bread with the white filling! This location also does rewards which is a plus! Unfortunately they aren't open right now but hopefully they plan to open soon. If you're looking for something sweet but not too heavy I definitely recommend coming here. read more

Never really been into cream puffs but had to try! It may not be the traditional cream puff you're expecting but for what it is... I like them. When you walk in you can smell butter and pastry cream right away. It's glorious. There are several different kinds of puffs and 2 kinds of pastry cream (vanilla and green tea). My favorite is definitely the creme brulee with vanilla cream. The puffs itself are a bit on the crispier side which I like as soft puff with soft cream is just one boring texture. I also love that they're not too sweet. These would be nice for a small gift or to bring to a gathering as they have very cute boxes! They're slowly starting to serve other desserts (which looks like cakes). No drinks here and the seating is very limited. The cream puffs hold pretty well in the fridge for up to 3 days. read more

I'm not a fan of cake but their cakes tasted great, especially the filling. Fun to try! Clean and small store. read more

I never thought I would pay more than a couple of dollars for a cream puff but dang it, these are worth every bite. The classic, the green tea, the creme brulee puffs are just all so freaking amazing. If you can manage to buy a dozen and have a couple left over for the next morning, they are great with coffee. But fresh is the best. The crispy crunchiness of a fresh puff is just amazing. I'm drooling just thinking thinking about them. read more

Delicious cream puffs but pricey for the amount you get. They were much larger my first visit, almost double the size. My second visit they were $3.60 and half the size as before which was definitely disappointing even though the were really tasty. read more

I used to get beard papa all the time when I lived in Japan. This is a must have there so I was happy to see here now. These tastes just how I remembered in japan. Seriously you open the box and it smells like heaven. We got 12 normal ones to go to share with friends and then I got a green matcha one with normal shell. The matcha one is my favorite for years so if you love green tea you need this one. read more

Japanese creampuff! First one in Dallas and has opened hundreds back in Asia. They only sell cream puff, a Japanese version of choux. I went in soft opening and the taste doesn't disappoint me. Taste just as in Asia! I tried the green tea cream puff and the original, both was wonderful! Currently they only have original flavor of the filling and will have green tea per the menu. Come if you are a fan of Asian pastry ( which I an so secretly stalked this place for months! So excited they finally open one!) read more

Super cute place and nice staff! The story behind it all is very sweet as are the puffs. I love how crunchy the outside is compared to the inside cream. Make sure when you eat them you leave them in their little wrapping to avoid a huge mess. read more

Beard Papa’s Plano - (Left to Right) Chocolate Puff, Butter and Honey Puff, Green Tea Puff. - Bakeries Near Me - Plano, Texas

Nice and clean ! small limited seating. Seats One to four Inside. A tasty treat not as spectacular for my personal taste buds. I visited due to outstanding reviews. I walked away spending big bucks for a tasty treat no offense but that was my first and last encounter. Just not as appealing as I thought it would be. Definitely worth a visit if your adventures enjoy sampling a different taste! I gave four stars for clean establishment and very sweet greeting the young lady at the counter. read more

I've been hearing of this place for awhile and they finally made their way to the Dallas area. It's such a cute little shop. Not much seating inside, just a few bar stools but I imagine this as a grab and go type of place. When you walk inside, you're greeted by the concept of Beard Papa's on the wall. Basically you decide which type of cream puff you want and filling. Note that these aren't your typical cream puffs. They're probably triple the size and they're made fresh! So it depends on which filing you get to consider this a hit. We got probably five total and my favorite were the strawberry cream puff with I think strawberry filling (I forget if it was just regular filling) along with the matcha cream puff with matcha filling. I put the rest in the fridge to eat the following days and they were just as good!!! Definitely a hit in my books. A nice dessert that isn't too sweet to make you feel guilty. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area. read more

I love cream puffs, and I think Bread Papa's does a good job with their cream puffs. It's good that they fill the cream in the puff when you order, as opposed to having it sit and wait to be eaten. It retains the crispy part of the puff! In my recent visit, I had to try the pumpkin cream upon the recommendation of a friend. She said it had the pumpkin flavor without the pumpkin spice, which is something that is very hard to find nowadays! I got it with a regular puff and it was so good. I wish I could get it again but it is a seasonal thing that ends after Halloween. Other than that, they have a variety of other cream flavors as well as different puffs as well! The restaurant is located along the 75 freeway, among other great eateries. Enjoy! read more

Pretty spot on compared to the Beard Papa stores in Taiwan. I tried the original and honey butter, both with vanilla filling. I didn't like the honey butter but the original was good. The light and airy puff houses a plentiful serving of cold cream. If you like cream puffs, you'll most likely like this version because it's a cream puff on crack. Fitting my analogy, be ready to pony up at over $3 per!! read more

I got some puff, and puff, and passed.... a box of 12 to my friends and family. These puffs were filled with deliciousness!! The bread has this soft and crunchy shell, with a cold cream (filled with your choice). They are light and aren't too filing.. and the best part... they aren't too high in calories!! I can eat about 2-3 in just one sitting haha. My favorite would have to be the creme brûlée. I would recommend that and the matcha to everyone I see! I also am a fan of the chocolate cream puffs. Also the decoration inside is very cute. It's clean and trendy and on point with the interior design skills. This place is conveniently next door to Zero Degrees, so after a cream puff I go next door to get my boba fix! read more

Very much a hype right now. We stopped by after dinner and there wasn't a line to place your order but a number of customers waiting for their puffs. You pick your cream puff she'll then the filling. We ordered the original, green tea, and creme brûlée (tried to order the crispy almond but they were out for the evening) with vanilla filling. I was expecting more from these puffs but was not overwhelmed by the taste whatsoever. It definitely is something I feel like I could get anywhere. I wouldn't die to come back, especially when each puff is slightly under $4. read more

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
