    Located in madang courtyard, beard papa serves excellent sweets with great service. The (presumably) owner was friendly and gave good recommendations. Appreciated the warm and welcoming service! Got an original cream puff with flavor of the month filling (horchata for Aug) and a honey butter cream puff with vanilla filling. Both were flaky and delicious, and I loved the horchata filling! Didn't ask but I'm sure they provide validation for the mall parking lot. The location has a few tables but it's mostly a take out type of place. Easy parking, great dessert, and friendly service, what more can you ask for? Definitely recommend visiting this beard papa :)

    Really good location. I love how quick the service is, and the food and drinks were made to order. I enjoyed the experience as a whole and would definitely come back whenever in the area. Doesn't disappoint!

    papas faves mixed 6pk
    Patty L.

    My review is based on a delivery order we placed since we were craving something sweet. We ordered papas faves mixed 6pk and 1 churro. The mixed pack was limited since we placed our order in the evening. So we got green tea, chocolate, orea cookies and cream, strawberry, and 2 honey butter. They were all nicely packaged when delivered. The eclairs are limited in the type of filling: vanilla, green tea, and chocolate. Eclairs were fluffy and crumbled nicely when bitten in to, and the custard was smooth. Personally, I would have preferred it to be sweeter. But if you enjoy subtlety, this is the spot.

    Overall these puffs are okay. They're light and not too sweet which is good. But sadly they aren't very fresh as there is a ton of cream puffs that sit out and just wait to be ordered without any telling of how long. I also wish they had more filling flavors, they only had two - chocolate and vanilla - which can get repetitive. I ordered the churro and dark chocolate options. The chocolate cream was really good, rich and chocolatey. The churro coating was a bit too sweet and luckily the custard mellowed it out.

    Amazing puffs. Even the mini ones are excellent. I love it when the shell is crispy. I could eat beard papa's puffs everyday.

    Beard Papa has some solid cream puffs! The filling isn't too liquid and is creamy enough where it reminds you of soft serve. It is in the heart of Ktown so it is hard to find street parking but you can park underground at the Hmart and should be fine! The service was great and the staff were very friendly. This Beard Papa is tucked a little bit behind the street entrance so make sure to keep your eyes peeled when walking by. It seemed fairly clean for a Ktown location so I was happy with that.

    What a treat indeed. The guy working up front did such a great job explaining everything to me as it was my first time. My favorite part about his explanation was how he thoroughly went over the fact that certain filling flavors do not go with certain cream puffs. Upon his suggestion, I got matcha fillings s on both puffs, one original and the other honey butter. It was a bad idea trying to eat one in my car. One bite all over the place. The only con is that parking in the area is super sus.

    Green Tea Eclair Puff

    Okay, so I heard about Beard Papa's , but I have never tried this pastry shop. So, I embarked on a journey to Koreatown to try the much talked about eclairs and mini pastries. Upon entering, I was greeted hello from a very nice gentleman who walked me through the different choices and combinations of eclairs. I chose the standard eclair with matcha filling and the green tea eclair with green tea filling. Both had just enough flaky outside in the texture of the eclair while giving an almost ice cream like texture inside with the filling. Such a refreshing contrast when taking a bite!!!! The store was very clean when entering and was a nice temperature as well!!! There really wasn't inside sitting, as I take it that this place is an "order and go" type situation. As for location it can be tricky to find. When coming to Koreatown to Beard Papa, make sure you park in the parking lot garage because IT'S FREE!!! When going to the garage enter in on the Manhattan Place side not Western!!! They will validate with purchase. The store is located two doors down from Paris Baguette and in between Cosmetic World and a boba store! You can also park at the metered parking lot on Western and walk up the ramp and it will be on your left next to a Boba place. Overall, Beard Papa is a pleasant surprise! My only recommendation is that hopefully one day they will have a gluten free option. When visiting, I personally recommend the ube, green tea, or regular eclair with matcha filling, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of the flavors!!!!!!

    Honey + Honey Butter Cream Puff
    Emma S.

    When i saw the sign advertising the honey and butter cream puff I was intrigued and had to stop into Beard Papa's to try one. OMG it was SO good! Sweet but not too sweet. I would definitely pop into Beard Papa's again to get another one. The gentleman behind the counter was also super nice

    I love this chain!! I wish we had one closer to us but they all seem to be in the downtown area or at least a 30 min drive from us. :( please bring one to the SF valley! Unless there is one that I don't know of LOL. Delicious cream puffs, always fresh and perfect temperature. I like their regular cream puffs but the ones with a layer of chocolate on top is that good but of extra if you want something on the sweeter side. It's not super sweet which I like! Service is great and quick. It's a small shop but clean which is how it should be! Looking forward to coming back. IG: @ammysalamii

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Prices $ ($5 under) Bread papa! It's been a while since I ate them and it taste just like the same that I remember! The shop is right on the entrance to the H Mart plaza and you cannot miss it. We ordered the Oreo and the S'mores puff with chocolate filling. It taste like a chocolate heaven for a second! The puff was crispy on the outside and when you bite into it, the filling inside will burst unexpectedly. I just wish I has bought more!

    churro cream puff w vanilla filling. so good! thank you sam and maria and the amazing employee who closes on thursdays!
    Alexis M.

    I had the most amazing experience at this place. There was incredible customer service. First off, it's in a somewhat hard to find section of the Koreatown mall, and the employee was so helpful that he came out of the store to bring us into the shop. the shop was incredibly clean and filled with many varieties of cream puff. It's very affordable and we had prompt and professional service. I ordered a vanilla churro cream puff and everything was very fresh all the way until close- we arrived at 8:56 pm. when I returned home, I was disheartened to discover that my cream puff had been filled with chocolate, to which I have a small allergic reaction. I gave it to my friend, and he said it was the most delicious dessert he had ever consumed in that part of Los Angeles. So we decided to go back and try our luck to get a proper order. when we arrived the following week, we referenced the issue and spoke with the manager, Steve, as well as maria, who were both very communicative and helpful and friendly. Maria even went as far to change her gloves to protect me from ipossible reaction. Was delicious and we ate the entire vanilla cream puff right on the spot. This company is very dedicated to their delicious quality product and they have something unique that you cannot find anywhere else. I think this place is amazing and you should definitely go there if you are in Koreatown! Attached our photographs of the cream puff, the Japanese donut and their special Matcha cream puff.

It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

The pictures don't lie. It's got that clean, modern coffee shop aesthetic, but a few quirky touches keep it from feeling like every other minimalist café. There's a photo booth in the back (which I assume explains the name) and a display of sunglasses that I never quite figured out. Also, no bathroom code. Always appreciated. Neither of us usually orders einspanners, but my wife got the vanilla and I ordered the mocha, both iced with oat milk. They were excellent. Creamy and rich and the coffee underneath was tasty even before mixing in the cream. The pastries looked beautiful and artful, although I was hoping for something simple like an almond croissant. The vibe outside on the patio was great. Lots of people working on laptops, plenty of room to settle in, and it felt more like a co-working space than a typical coffee shop. It's also super dog-friendly, has ample parking in its own lot and we even found easy street parking out front. Everything about this place just worked. We'll gladly make the 25-minute drive again.
