Can i say i'm beyond happy to see they open one in this location, which is by midtown close to the train. The puff are fresh. love the original and the green tea ones, but not much a fan of cream brûlée (the sugar top is a bit too thick, i had to take the whole piece to eat it and not be able to crack it just by biting on it ) Service was quick, just usually in and out within 5 mins. Keep it up read more

Came here on a rainy night to find that it was empty, but it was probably due to weather anyhow. We ordered 2 creme brulees, 1 dulce de leche and 1 smores. I wasn't too big a fan of it in general honestly. I felt like they were subpar if anything, but my bf was raving about them and really enjoyed them. The cream filling isn't too sweet and doesn't have much flavour but I guess for some it can go well with the overly-sweet toppings. The bread in itself was also very bland but of course it's very similar to a regular cream puff, except this is just a bigger version. Don't think I would come back or order again unless it was for my bf. read more

We popped in for a mid afternoon snack on Wednesday and had a Dulce de Leche with vanilla cream. It was so tasty that I rushed it and spilled the vanilla cream all over my jeans. I nearly cried. At any rate, we enjoyed it and will be back our next time in town. read more

Beard Papa's is an excellent place to grab cream puffs on the go. It tastes just like the ones I've eaten frequently in San Francisco. I ordered on seamless, and the delivery was prompt and well-packaged. The cream puffs here are characterized by a light and crisply baked shell with plenty of cream filling without overdoing it. The filling isn't absurdly sweet, and the flavors aren't overpowering, which is the way filling should be done. I'd get classic flavors if it's your first time here (matcha, chocolate, butter, plain), but the other flavors aren't too bad. read more

Best cream puffs ever. I am a big cream puff person and have had many different cream puffs from across New York State. These are among the top one or two best cream puff locations. Highly recommend. But I only really like the original puffs with the original filling. I don't like the outside covered puffs. read more

Beard papa delivers consistent quality food. Their cream puffs are crispy outside and the cream inside is also really good. They are a bit heavy but it's perfect. They offer different fillings like green tea and chocolate but my favorite is the plain cream. They also have covered shells in strawberry, green tea, chocolate but then again, my favorite is the plain without eclair cover. They have a store in the 70s street which has been popular and this midtown location is fairly new. Their cream puffs never disappoint. read more

Ditch the donuts and cakes because this beard papa location should be your new haven and not your local Starbucks Cafe. Most of their items are focused on creme puffs but they do have other options such as lava cakes or donuts. Delicious crispy shell on the outside and rich fillings on the inside made fresh daily. They come in a variety of flavors and fillings. I was able to get a variety to share with my team, to cater to their taste buds. Lets just say these creme puff gave me some brownie points because they LOVED it. Then again how could you not like creme puffs? read more

Came here Sunday evening around 6p, ordered 8 assortted puffs ranging from 420 to 450 each, cream puffs were not good. Not fresh, stale and improperly baked. Do not recommend this place. read more

Ordered delivery from them during COVID. I was surprised by how quickly the food arrived and really enjoyed both the chocolate fondant and chocolate eclair! read more

Beard Papa's is a little bit out of my way but they make solid cream puffs. They're always light and airy, not to sweet in flavor so the cream inside really shines when you bite into the cream puff. Pricy but well worth the money and the travel for a dessert that Beard Papa has perfected for 20 years. read more

Went for a quick snack and bought two of the puffs. It didn't really blow me away since the pastry didn't have that fresh out-of-oven taste. Overall, it just felt like an overpriced puff. read more

This place smells delicious as soon as you walk in. It's the perfect place to go after a large meal when you want something sweet that's not too large. Even though it's a very small place with just three tables, the mochi and the creampuff are worth it. The vanilla cream puff isn't overly sweet, the bread is crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and even though it's $3 it's about double or triple the size of the cream puffs I'm used to. The mochi was also delicious but the cream puff was the star of the two. read more

We ordered a dulce de leche and a crispy almond, both with vanilla cream. The cream was delicious! I really enjoyed the almond one, but it did taste a little burnt- maybe because it was the last one and we went around 7pm. The flavor of the dulce de leche was good, but the hard caramel made the cream puff hard to eat, especially without smushing all the cream out. We'll definitely go back, but next time we go we'll try different flavors - there were many that sounded good! I'd suggest going earlier in the day so there's more variety available. read more

I just visited this location and got some puffs for my husband's birthday. I tried before and I liked it however the service was horrible. This guy seems doesn't want to work here. You asked him questions and he gave you an ugly look. Don't visit this location!!!!! read more

A great hidden gem in NYC! If you've never had a traditional cream puff you should come try one here! They fill them to order so you're getting something perfect fresh and delicious. They have lots of flavors to chose from but I like to stick with the classic vanilla cream. read more

Cream puffs were pretty delicious. We originally went to get as a gift, ended up leaving with getting ourselves a few as well. We tried the strawberry with vanilla filling, not too much of a fan of -- but would have to say the chocolate with vanilla filling tasted delicious. If we weren't sharing he as well as I would have probably eaten a whole one to ourselves and then some wish we could have tried some of the other flavors but they were all sold out. Which is great because it'll give me another reason to go back ! read more

I haven't been to the new location but it was great in the older place by 1st Ave+47th St. I'm glad that they didn't disappear!

My fav cream puff spot. The chocolate cream puff is very tasty. Strongly recommended!!! read more

Oh. My. God. The matcha cream puff. Honestly, steer clear of this place or you will indulge in WAY MORE CREAM PUFFS than a single person ever should eat. All of the flavor options were calling my name, I don't think you can go wrong. Bravo, Beard Papa's. read more

WAS NOT SANITARY!!! The employee wore gloves, took my credit card and went to go package the cream puffs in the back with the same gloves. We asked for a receipt, she used the same gloves to grab the receipt roll to refill the printer, couldn't remove the sticker, went to the back again and rip the roll with the knife she used in the kitchen to cut cream puffs. Came back and proceed to use the gloves to print the receipt by clicking on the same touch screen register that all customers has touched to sign. Her gloves were dirty, mostly likely sticky. I have worked in two chain cafes in NYC, I understand food service is very dirty, it is always outta sight outta mind, but this place I'll be not coming back again. read more

Great cream puffs! A little too sweet for my liking but they fill the cream on site!

They have the best buffs in New York :) I'd recommend regular puff base + matcha cream. read more

I just finished inhaling a dulce de leche cream puff with vanilla custard. Oh my lord was it good! The right amount of sweetness (not cloying). The cream puff shells are also larger than you'd probably expect. This little shop is dangerously close to my office, but with each cream puff clocking in around 300 calories and $3.50, it's an indulgence you can probably afford to splurge on every now and then! P.S. when I say "tiny shop" I mean tiny--there is seating for two people, so best to take your deliciousness to go! read more

I enjoyed the cream puffs, but I thought the filling could use a little more sugar . This is my only complaint. Otherwise really good.

Just walking around on the cold got in gear and the place is small but good. Very interesting tak on desert. read more

Best cream puffs. No nonsense, just good cram and puff! Love their classic and the smaller bite size too The green tea and chocolate are also yum read more

It is very different from most desert. Not too sweet but just enough for a sweet tooth. It is freshly made so it nice a warm. There are different options to chose from. The staff is very helpful and friendly. read more

My co-worker and I decided to take an afternoon break and so we headed over to Beard Papa's. It was a little difficult to find the actual store as there was no street sign up on the wall. However with the big front window you can see the bright yellow logo on the walls. As soon as you walk into Beard Papa it's just an overwhelming smell of baked heaven! They were taking a fresh batch of puffs out of the oven and just wow! When you order, you pick a base and then you choose the filling flavor. We got the traditional creme puff with vanilla custard, the creme brûlée creme puff and a s'mores creme puff with vanilla filling. All three were excellent! The puff pastry was super light and crispy but can hold the custard well. Each one was also filled to the brim with custard. The creme brûlée one is a bit unique because they cut the top off and brûlée some sugar on top. This place is so fun if you're looking for a little something sweet. read more

If you want cream puffs, this isn't the only place in town but it's one of the best. I've tried all their flavors but you really can't go wrong with the original - which they do the best! read more

Tried the chocolate shell with green tea filling and loved it! I would highly recommend for a light, fluffy, and sweet pastry filled with creamy, sweet custard. I wish they had a more creative range of flavors but really loved the green tea cream. read more

I've been to many Beard Papa's locations on the west coast and was excited to learn there was one in NYC, it did not disappoint! We got the original, eclair, and new cookies & cream cream puffs with vanilla, green tea and the cookies & cream fillings and a matcha latte. The tables weren't cleaned between customer uses but I very much enjoyed my cream puffs read more

I have always loved Beard Papa, but rather sad to find that 2 of my favorite locations have closed over the years. Happy to know they're still around but the location is honestly not the most convenient. I highly recommend the Crème Brûlée Puffs. It's so good. They're vanilla has always been my fav. Simple yet not overpowering. read more

Only had a chocolate creme puff with vanilla filling but it was phenomenal! The store on UES was empty and the service was great! Would go again! read more

beard papa's is easy to miss on this street full of eateries tucked into brownstone-like buildings. but for a sweet treat, this grab and go location is perfect for picking-up a cream puff to add to ice cream at home. i overheard one of the employees explain the cream to whip ratio in their fillings: vanilla - 90% cream, 10% whip green tea - 10% cream, 90% whip be sure to have cash or be prepared to get 2-3 cream puffs to meet the $7 credit card minimum. read more

The cream puffs are huge (fist size) and available in many different flavors but I actually prefer the vanilla filled ones with just powdered sugar on top. If you buy five you get a dollar discount on the sixth. They also have an e-loyalty card where when you complete 10 stamps you get a reward. They also offer crullers that have the cream filling read more

Love these cream puffs. Fast have a light taste to them so easy to have a few in one sitting and just enough sweetness to them.. so dangerous if you're calorie counting lol. read more

Superb spot for cream puffs. Love their variety of puffs and fillings. Also, excited that they are brining new flavors.
