    Bag

    I stumbled across this shop looking for somewhere to grab a sweet treat after leaving an event at the Convention Center. It's very tiny, and there's only a couple seats and no restroom, so best to plan on take-away. The employees were very friendly and welcoming, and patient with me as I asked questions and decided on my order. The ordering process was a little confusing, because it was hard to match up what you saw on the menu board with what you saw on the trays at the counter since you couldn't see which filling was inside. I decided on the Oreo Cream Puff with chocolate filling, and it was delicious. The pastry was light and fluffy and there was a good amount of cream inside. The chocolate cream wasn't as sweet as I expected, but the overall flavor and texture of the cream puff was great. I'll definitely be returning to tray some of the other flavors.

    This is another good stop for a sweet treat while in Chinatown. There's all flavors of cream puffs and there's the option to add filling (dairy free folks can opt out). We loved the OG and ube flavors! The owner was very kind and welcoming and it was a small shop that's easy to swing in and out of.

    Very small space and feels super cramped and stuffy. Had the original and green tea cream puffs - the cream puffs were anything but fresh. The cream puff filling was also too sweet and runny like whipped cream. Unfortunately, I did not feel good after eating them - feels like getting a sore throat after you have something stale, oily and sweet. However, the staff was very friendly and kind so any stars I have given are just for them.

    Came here with my daughter and it is a friendly place. Two tables for you to sit down and wait for your order or to enjoy your puffs. We got the matcha and ube and they were delicious. I can see why some fell in love after the first bite. I even got the matcha latte and it was very good. I happened to come 2 weeks before their Yelp Elite event.

    The cream puffs were the perfect amount of shell to cream ratio. The staff was attentive and working diligently preparing cream puffs to get the line moving! The shop is small but there's never a long line.

    Got the honey butter puff when it just came out of the oven. The crust was crunch and buttery. So delicious! Owner was very kind and explained about all the flavors.

    Went from Bucks co. all the way to Chinatown for some beard papa's, and the place was closed. Looks abandoned inside. Sign says open, hours of operation are listed as 12-9, we were there around 12:30pm and nothing. Phones just ring and ring and ring.

    Very small on the inside maybe two tiny tables! We had bought an ube, original and Oreos cream puff, as a first timer we wanted a little variety. We should have tried all of them they were absolutely delicious. The puff was airy light and same goes for the cream! Will definitely return for these Japanese treats!

    Cream Puff Six Pack
    Candi R.

    Finally there is a Beard Papa's in Philly! Visited to see if the cream puffs were as tasty as I remembered. I ordered the six pack. Two Original, two chocolate eclair, two OREO. Three filled with OREO cream and three filled with vanilla cream. Just as good as I remembered. Will definitely return the next time I'm in Center City.

    Original

    Came here few days before grand opening. Saw they opened and decided to stop by and order. I am a big fan of beard papa in the past and had big expectations. I got mixed 6 pieces. The filling is not what I used to know, heavy yellowish cream with strong vanilla taste. This one is more like light whipped cream that you would see on cakes. Taste is good but not the Beard Papa I know

    There are limited dips (matcha, chocolate) available for now since it just opened, but I suspect more will be added soon.

    $ well spent! Had a dozen hot, fresh, wonderful cookies delivered to our hotel room on a Monday…read morenight after midnight when nearly every other option, including the hotel bar & restaurant, was closed. A few additional cookies tossed in our delivery for free, made it feel like a better value since we had some leftover to enjoy with morning coffee. Anticipated a long wait given the time & day, but a friendly face handed them to us in less time than Domino's. The Deluxe cookies were a treat w/ the peanut butter varieties a fav, but ALL the cookies, including the ones I didn't pick, were delicious. A little annoying the upcharges for deluxe varieties when I thought that was the point of picking an option that includes them, but the additional free cookies helped soften that. A must for any overnight stay in Philly!

After we finished, they handed us a whole box of cookies just for hanging out and giving feedback. That was a solid surprise and super generous. I swing by Insomnia Cookies on random days too because sometimes you just need a warm cookie to reset your mood. They always come out soft, gooey, and fresh from the oven. The store itself is clean and kind of cool to look at. There's a whole wall covered in giant industrial-style on and off switches. I still wish I could have pulled one just to see what would happen. Staff was chill and genuinely helpful. They were patient while we tried to figure out which cookie was which during the ranking, and they kept the energy light and fun. Same when they handed out the free boxes. Whoever runs the HQ location clearly knows how to make the experience feel special.

As it turned out, we were seated at the very same table and were fortunate enough to have the same waiter, Simone. Gran Caffè L'Aquila offers authentic Italian cuisine, and everything we ordered on both visits was delicious and beautifully prepared. We truly enjoyed every dish we tried. The restaurant itself is small, cozy, and full of charm, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. And a special mention must go to Simone. He is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. His warm and professional service made both of our visits even more enjoyable, and we were delighted to have him as our waiter again. We will definitely be returning to Gran Caffè L'Aquila, and we certainly hope Simone will still be there to welcome us. Authentic Italian food, a charming atmosphere, and wonderful service -- a place we are very happy to have discovered.

They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown.
