    I always come here when I visit my parents from AZ. We have gotten vanilla, chocolate, and matcha , but I prefer the standard shell and standard vanilla filling. So good, the shell is light and flaky, with a creamy filling. Our half dozen order was about $25. I think the prices have increased but I assume that is due to inflation everywhere. They have open one or two in AZ but I believe one of them already closed.

    came by around closing and the staff was so kind to give us a complimentary one since we were the last customers of the day. decent size for the puffs and generous usage of the vanilla cream inside. puff itself can be a bit dry but i feel like the matcha really made up for that, the cream felt a bit much at times but i want to come back to try matcha cream since they had ran out

    I love these cream puffs. i dont love all cream puffs because they're not my thing, but i love these. the filling choices are wonderful with seasonal rotating flavors. also the fillling is a custard that's so smooth and creamy and refreshing when cold. cold cream puff on a hot day is excellent! try it chocolate dipped. that's my fave and go to item

    My favorite place for cream puffs. Gotta says it's a bit pricey, but it is absolutely yummy. Their (classic) vanilla filling is creamy and not too sweet. Their flavor frosting is a bit on the sweet side. I like their original plain puffs the most. Store is small. Kinda nice that you can get to see some of their making. Friendly staffs.

    It's been awhile since I had a vanilla filled chocolate Beard Papa and we had to order some to go. Approximately an hour later, we cut one open and the cream was still cold which went well with our coffee!

    Was walking around the plaza when we decided to try Beard Papa's for the first time on a Friday around 7pm. I got one dulce de leche cream puff and it was pretty average. I would have preferred a softer crème puff as the outside was dry and hard, so the cream would almost explode with each bite. I also wish there were more filling options for the shells as they only offer chocolate, vanilla, and green tea. One crème puff was about $5, which is a bit pricey. I don't think I would return

    I was working nearby with the crew and I've been waiting to get my hands on a cream puff since the last time.. I knew nobody on my work crew has ever had one so I had to figure out how to let them experience the beard papa magic without breaking the bank. I bought 4 full sized puffs and 2 mini puff cups. I wasn't sure if the mini puffs were big enough from the pictures, because I've never had them. They were definitely shareable and loaded with flavor. There is no sacrifice in going smaller lol. It's located in a super busy shopping center so parking is plentiful yet scarce here. You'll have to make a round or 2 to park but it's not the end of the world. The product and service is definitely well worth it. There's plenty of variety and I haven't been let down yet. This isn't the cheapest guilty pleasure but you'll get your money's worth, for certain. If youre ever in the area to get a BP cream puff, don't pass up your chance. This will turn anyone's day around in a positive way lol.

    What a cute cream puff shop. I was helped pretty quickly upon entering the store. The they had a ton of cream puff shells stacked up and ready to be filled. I ordered a box of 6 for a friend's birthday and I decided to order one for myself. I tried the eclair cream puff with vanilla filling. It was delicious. They are very generous with the filling. The staff were very helpful and the shop is nice and clean on the inside. I'll definitely be back.

    Horrible Customer Service. I asked the Mexican guy with tattoos which flavor would you prefer... He answers with an attitude " it all depends up to you". No shit Sherlock, I was asking for his suggestion . After the interaction he stares me down like he wants to fight. OWNERS you need to hire more friendly and professional employees. Especially being in this area. This employee is a perfect fit for East San Jose...

    Stopped in while in line for Izumi. I would recommend the original with vanilla but the chocolate filling with it i think it good as well. I got the chocolate shell but it wasnt satisfying bc it was too hard and cant really taste the chocolate that much. The service was very good and they answered my questions well. Would recommend for a not too sweet treat!

    Beard Papa is such a treat! The staff were friendly and accommodating, and in-store they have more flavors than the app shows (the app also has weird ordering time limits that don't exist in person--definitely could improve that). The matcha filling is a standout--smooth, rich, and delicious. Everything I tried was tasty, nicely packaged, and fresh. The plaza location is nice, with other food options nearby for a little stroll. I loved being able to mix and match fillings and toppings--makes it fun to customize. Hard to pick a favorite, but the matcha cream puff and matcha topping top my list. Eclairs are also excellent. Great spot for customizable cream puff desserts!

    I tried their matcha & chocolate cream puffs for the first time and It didn't disappoint. I've never been a fan of sweets, but these were good. My favorite was the matcha cream puff. Great Japanese cream puffs, not overly sweet!

    It was yummy! The filling was more like ice cream. They were large and easily shareable. It was a fun dessert to try if you are in the area.

    Yes

    Is this business taking phone calls? The phone keeps ringing or disconnects immediately...

    The same happened to me as well so I came in person. On the day I went, they were late to open, only had two people working, and my online order was cancelled. They could be overwhelmed and/or under staffed.

    How often do u make the milk tea flavor? And if I do an order of a dozen or 2 dozen of mini puff, would u be able to make that seasonal/temporary flavor and another another regular flavor? e.g., 12 milk tea and 12 green tea to make a 2 dozen?

    It's seasonal. No milk tea flavor. This month (Oct) is caramel pumpkin then next month is apple.

We also noticed that the jelly seemed much more watery than we expected.

Unfortunately, based on our experience, we don't think we'll be returning.

I ordered the Yumberry Yogurt Drink, Peach Gum Drink, and Grape Yogurt Drink.

Even though they're always busy with orders, it wasn't crowded inside. I was able to find a seat since most people just grab their drinks and leave. The drinks are very fruit-forward and taste incredibly fresh and high quality. If you enjoy fruity drinks, this place is definitely worth trying. My favorite was the Yumberry Yogurt Drink because it was so unique--I've never had anything quite like it before. It reminded me a bit of a mulberry drink with a creamy yogurt twist, and I'd definitely order it again.

There is plenty of seating inside for tables of two or even small groups. Parking can be difficult since many popular establishments are in the same strip mall so plan ahead for parking time.
