We were having lunch close by and decided to stop by Beard Papas to grab some cream puffs for dessert. There was a line to order and there were also people waiting for their orders. This Beard Papas is small, but clean. We decided to order a dozen of cream puffs, which we saved $3.00. The total for a dozen with the discount was around $44, which wasn't bad. We ordered a variety of flavors. We ordered the green tea, original, strawberry shortcake, chocolate eclair, cookie crunch, dulce de leche, oreo cookie crumble, and honey butter flavors. Some of the puffs had green tea fillings and some had chocolate fillings. Our favorites were the green tea, oreo cookie crumble with green tea fillings. We wanted to order the creme brulee flavored one, but they were sold out. I guess this will be a good excuse to come back when we crave for cream puffs. read more

15+ years; longer than most bakeries. I remember the hype when they first opened. Can smell the egg choux pastry for the shell as you open the door. Original+Vanilla still the most popular. Have to eat it fresh. The moisture from the cream quickly turns the crunchy pastry soggy. Not too sweet. Copied the Japanese flavor exactly. Definitely less sweet than the American style of cake and donut fillings. More like a cream custard than a super sweet topping. Came in for one, left after eating 3. Matcha+Vanilla. Kids were kind enough to let me sample a lemon. Lemon is slightly tangy. Can taste the freshness of the lemon. Like a mild lemon drop candy flavor. Forgot how good they were. Surprised they lasted 15+ years. Kids working there are the best I have seen in any FF place in years. They are a cut above the typical FF worker with angry indifference. I would go back just to go visit them. Good parents. Refreshing to see. read more

It was good but they were out of everything except the OG puff and, vanilla and chocolate filling. It was disappointing, when they only had these plain flavors . read more

First time in this plaza and was curious by the name. Beard Papa's is a cute little cream puff shop and the workers are friendly. When you order, you have to pick a shell flavor then a filling flavor. I did both green tea for my shell and filling. The cream puff was good and I liked how it wasn't overly sweet, but I would like more green tea taste. The filling reminded me of Pocky's green tea flavor. If I am back in the area, I want to try the cookies & cream shell with vanilla filling. read more

Okay fiiiiine, I guess I understand why Beard Papa always has a line in the evenings. I would rather come back in the afternoon than stand in the line, but the puffs are delicious. They're not too sweet and deliver the perfect ratio of crunchy pastry shell to custard. I don't even really like cream puffs, but apparently all the ones I've eaten before are inferior. I had a strawberry shortcake with mango, and a chocolate eclair with vanilla. The star of the show was the vanilla filling, and the specks of vanilla bean made it feel legit. I'm already planning on ordering some as a treat during Teacher Appreciation Week. read more

i went to get matcha that is right next door and then i came here because i've seen this place on instagram. it was empty and very quiet but the two girls that were working were very nice and informative. i don't exactly remember the name of the cream puff but i believe it's honey butter?? don't quote me. i got it with vanilla filling and i also got the cookie crunch with matcha filling. both were 10/10 and i would definitely come back to order more. the parking was very easy since it's in a plaza. i would recommend coming here for dessert if you're coming from cupertino main street read more

Beard Papa has always been my favorite cream puff place in the Bay! I would recommend the Cupertino location as I never had any issues with consistency in the cream puff shell itself and the custard filling.

If you saw the pictures in this post, you may be confused. "Why on earth are u at beard papas with a suitcase and several bags?" Sadly i didn't come from vacation, but got dropped off to go home from Santa Cruz bringing things from my apartment back home. I chose beard papas because I remember when i was younger and thought the cream puffs here were amazing. This location is a store front which has little seating arrangements giving it a more grab n go spot rather than a cafe. Staff was quick and super patient with me as i was ordering. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's been several years, and several visits to their other locations, but the flavor of filling that initially hooked me is no where to be found. My first time trying beard papas the strawberry crème was the best. Not too tart, not too sweet, and contained fresh strawberry bits. Not too sure why I've been unable to find a store which has the strawberry filling, but i guess strawberry short cake went on strike and took her recipe with her. This time around i ordered two of each flavor; chocolate, matcha, and vanilla. I sat outside beard papas on a bench with all of my belongings in the rain enjoying my order gobbling down a whole chocolate filled crème puff. The shell of the creme puff was okay, but it did seem to be a bit stale. The filling had a more mocha chocolate flavor which was nice. Unfortunately the matcha flavor couldn't make the filling lay offs as there was hardly any matcha essence or flavor to it which caused me to grow a suspicion that they might have just dyed the filling green... LOL. Overall not the kind of experience that i dreamt of, but the good thing about me is that I'll never stop dreaming! (Rip Strawberry Shortcake) read more

Never the same as in Japan. Crust doesn't taste as fresh. Maybe because there aren't many in the states so they survived the pandemic and the price went up. Saw a few teenage there serving today, I can understand they are not to familiar so the wait was a bit long. Nevertheless it's a good treat when you crave a light cold dessert. read more

Cream puff size is getting smaller and smaller. Price is going up on contrary. I went on Sunday and there was a line. Only 2 staff and food came out pretty slow since a lot of people put in big orders. The flavor was still good but the shell was getting soggy. It's a small shop near daiso. Inside is clean and just a space for people to stand and wait. read more

This was right next to the Daiso. There was hardly anyone there...maybe because it was later in the day. They had a sign at the door that they only had the original left. We went in and they said they only had the original shell with vanilla or chocolate cream filling. So we just went with original vanilla. The staff was trying to stuff two into a take out bag, but we told them it was ok. We ate it quickly outside. It was alright. Don't forget to check in on yelp to see if they have a 10% off. read more

I brought a few puffs and asking for an additional bag to put one of them there. The Asian cashier/customer rep (see attached photos.) in her mid 20s shouted at me loudly in front of other customers and staff "do not touch their bag!" None of the staff greet people or say thank you after customers paid for their food. Why this Beard Papa's shop likes to give people hard time with rude attitudes? read more

You can never go wrong with beard papa's! I got an assorted box of 6 various cream puffs. I got an original, chocolate eclair, green tea eclair, Oreo cookie eclair, and two others. The custards that I had were green tea, chocolate, and vanilla. Honestly, you can't miss with mix and matching the different custard fillings and flavor cream puffs. However, my favorite combo would have to be the Oreo cookie cream puff with the regular vanilla custard. The vanilla just boosts the overall flavor of the cookies and cream type situation of the cream puff. It's very similar to eating a giant Oreo, but softer and fluffier. If I had anymore I would down everything! My second I would say green tea with chocolate custard feeling. The green tea was very aromatic and when mixed with the chocolate custard, it just creates a perfect bite of cream puff sweetness in my mouth. read more

Beard Papa's - Assorted 6 flavors of cream puffs - Desserts Near Me - Cupertino, California

Beard Papa's hold a special place in my heart. Not only do they have spectacular cream puffs, but they have the nicest people working there. This will make me seem old, but I remember when they only had a couple of flavors. Now they have a bunch of different shells, creams, and even seasonal flavors. Wow! Just means that I need to go here more often to try them all out! I recently went to lunch in the area and even though I was VERY full I still needed to get my cream puff fix. That's just how good they are. On this visit, I ordered 6 delicious morsels. I got 2 of each flavor: Cookie Crunch with vanilla cream, Chocolate with chocolate cream, and Strawberry Shortcake with vanilla cream. All were absolutely delicious! My favorite of the bunch was the Strawberry Shortcake. It was just sweet enough and the cream was so yummy. The only thing I was disappointed in was that I only ordered 6. read more

I loved the cream puffs at Beard Papa's in Tokyo when I visited recently, so I knew I had to try them here in Cupertino! We stopped in on a Friday night and got a strawberry shortcake shell with vanilla cream filling; there was a bit of a wait but it wasn't too bad. The cream puff was good overall and I enjoyed the strawberry shortcake topping on the shell, though it did seem like the shell had been sitting out for a while. Overall it's a good place for a quick dessert but nothing spectacular. read more

Came by the other day and it was a tasty experience. Parking was plentiful in the strip mall. Staff inside the shop were properly wearing masks. High performance nitrile gloves were available by the counter but it seemed like the staff opted to wear latex gloves instead. Staff wore gloves to handle money then the puffs... They also disposed of the gloves after all the customers left. Ordered the chocolate eclair with green tea matcha filing and it was tasty. The crispy shell was a nice contrast with the smooth matcha filing. They take credit cards and also have a loyalty program by entering a phone number! read more

Nice puff pastry with some crispiness on the outside and soft on the inside. You can't go wrong with the original puffs; you can get them with any filling. Service is very quick; someone fills your puff right as you order and you get it within 30 seconds. I just wish they were more consistent with the filling, as seen in my photos one had a lot more filling than the other. read more

First time at a Beard Papa's and decided to get a little treat before exploring Daiso next door. I ordered the original cream puff with vanilla custard filling. It was really good and reminded me of the Costco cream puffs I enjoyed as a kid but even better and bigger. I enjoyed the flakiness of the fluffy and light bread exterior (which kind of tasted like those flat bottom cake cones). The filling was lightly sweet. This spot is very casual, lots of outdoor seating. Service was quick and straightforward. One cream puff was enough to satisfy my craving! read more

Perfect dessert for a hot day!! Bread Papa's is located near Daiso, and a Japanese supermarket, with lots of food options in the plaza. Definitely a great place to go after your meal. Lots of fresh cream puffs available, with different toppings like chocolate, matcha being the more popular ones. I got the original cream puff, super crispy exterior with creamy, sweet vanilla based cold cream within. Can't go wrong with Bread Papa's! read more

Came here today around 3:30p to enjoy sweets with my family and unfortunately, the cashier- tall girl was very rude and seems annoyed at all of us.

Customer service can be better. The pastries would taste better if they were warm. My friends and I ate our cream puffs there and could be more comfortable. It was cold and they had the door open but It's a small place so that could be why. read more

This place does cream puffs and does them amazingly well. The puff is light and fluffy with a delicate crust, the cream is cool and sweet but not too sweet. If you want a nice treat but also don't want to feel too full- the mini puffs are the perfect bite sized treat. It was 99 degrees earlier and having a fresh puff with cool cream was perfect. It's about a 15 min drive from me but I'll make an outing specifically because I occasionally crave this very specific pastry. Ambiance is nothing much- it's a strip mall after all, but the service is fast, the food is excellent, and when you take a bite the rest doesn't matter. read more

They used to have a franchise store in Newpark Mall years ago and closed down, so now this is only one of three locations in the Bay Area before meeting a handful of them down in SoCal. I love their original vanilla! It's not too sweet (my perfect level of sweetness) and has a thick and smooth consistency. I've tried all the other shells that they offered, but nothing compares to the original shell as it balances out the sweetness of the fillings. I've tried the chocolate, matcha, chocolate hazelnut, and their seasonal/limited time offerings (pumpkin, coffee) but still love the vanilla one the best (won't get tired of it as easily as the others, and the vanilla flavoring is strong), next to the chocolate (you can really taste the cocoa)! These cream puffs taste best when consumed right away to prevent the shell from getting soggy because of the filling. You also get a nice crunchy bite as well. If you plan on eating it later, just refrigerate them so the cream doesn't go bad and the shell doesn't get a soggy center. As of December 2021, the original puff is $3.30, a .15 cent difference since the beginning of the year. If you buy half a dozen, you get $1 off, and if you buy a full dozen, you get $3 off. Also, sign up for their points rewards! They offer really good deals if you're an avid cream puff connoisseur like me! read more

This Beard Papa's has been around for as long as I can remember and never fails to dissappoint. Located right next to the Daiso and Japanese Supermarket. It's the perfect place to pick up a quick treat after doing some shopping. Pick your puff and then your filling. It's always piped fresh and the cream is not too sweet either. Today, we got the strawberry shortcake puff with chocolate filling which was delicious and very light. We also got the chocolate fondant since the ube was all sold out. It was very rich in the center and had an overall soft texture. Overall, very delicious and enjoyable! read more

Came here after the dentist and it instantly brought up my mood. The atmosphere is fun, the pastries taste great, and the workers give off good vibes. If I didn't feel so guilty eating one of these sugar loaded dough balls I would've gotten another five. Super easy system you walk-in choose the kind of pastry you want (crust) and choose what kind of filling you want. They really fill these bad boys up, so much that after you take your first bite your mouth is gonna be full of cream I got the Oreo crust covered with white chocolate and I would get Papa's Cream in my tummy again! read more

I like pastry cream, so cream puffs are right up my alley. We like the cookie crunch shell because it adds more texture to the pastry. When we visited last weekend, the service was a little slow.
