After dinner, our family decided to stop by Beard Papa's for dessert, and it totally hit the spot. We ordered cream puffs with the original shell and éclair shell, both filled with vanilla custard, along with a Thai iced tea and Mango Jasmine iced tea. Everything was delicious. The cream puffs were nicely baked with a light, airy texture, and the custard filling was smooth, soft, and not overly sweet or heavy. Just the right balance. The drinks paired really well with the desserts and were refreshing without being overpowering. Overall, it was a perfect way to end the night. Simple, satisfying, and delicious. Definitely a solid go-to spot for dessert. read more

Sadly, Beard Pap's is a no for me. 1. We went in last night about 5:30ish to get a few things to bring home, and they were already sold out of several items. 2. Everything left in the display looked stale. 3. Service is trash. No hi or hello. We got a go to the kiosk and order. 4. We left and won't be back. read more

This is my first visit to Beard Papa's at Victoria Garden outdoor mall. It's conveniently located close by and outside of food court. The store is bright clean, with lots of seats. The order kiosk is kind of confusing to navigate. I choose to order from counter. She is super friendly! I ordered 6 minis cream puffs with 3 flavors. They all taste great! Overall the puffs are what's best here. If you like cream; there is one just at Victoria Garden of Rancho Cucamonga! read more

The inside of this location is nice. It's small with some seating inside but seemed very clean. Service was good as well, the young girls working were friendly. The milk tea was okay, but nothing to write home about. Kind of on the watery side. The boba itself was good. The cream puffs were yummy! The kids really enjoyed them. read more

Haven't been to one in a while so decided to stop in after dinner. The puff was rock hard and tasted stale like it was a couple of days old. The cream part was still good like I remembered but sad that this location doesn't take care to throw out old puff shells. read more

I normally would rate beard Papa a 5 stars but they ran out of the favorite strawberry filling so we had to settle for the plain vanilla, which is obviously not my favorite but it's a classic nonetheless. We got the Sakura matcha (it was pretty good), the strawberry shortcake (it was good), the ube eclair (tied for best one with the creme brulee & the mango custard drink (it was ok). Next time I think I'll stick to their cream puffs. read more

Recently stopped by ... staff wasn't as friendly & welcoming ... but stopped by anyhow . Grabbed some teas & mixed cream puff filled with their 3 flavors .. it was alright I don't think I'd go back again tbh . It was just so basic and not worth the price . It was fairly empty the night I stopped by also . read more

Beard Papa's - Desserts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Stopped into the Rancho Cucamonga location of Beard Papa's for the first time for dessert after dinner. Although I've passed by their shop several times, my family and I finally made the plunge to come in and give them a try. Definitely made a strong first impression with their variety of cream puffs, the taste, and the ability to customize/build your puffs. A solid option for a sweet treat in the area. This location of Beard Papa's is located in the Victoria Gardens shopping center in Rancho Cucamonga. There is plenty of parking shared among the businesses in this outdoor mall to make access to this establishment simple. The store itself has indoor seating for customers to enjoy their treats. At the time of my visit, they had a few customers eating in and several taking their dessert on the go. Staff during our visit were professional and patient with questions. They were also efficient with fulfilling orders. We ended up ordering two cream puffs: - Ube Eclair with Green Tea filling - Strawberry Shortcake Eclair with Vanilla filling Both were very tasty and true to flavor. The Ube Eclair with Green Tea filling was my favorite of the two as both flavors are typically my go to whenever offered. The fillings were light and not too sweet. They complemented the eclairs perfectly. The Green Tea, in particular, had the perfect amount of flavoring without it being an overpowering taste of green tea. The Strawberry Shortcake eclair was also very good. I would order both again without any hesitation! Beard Papa's was the perfect way to end our family dinner night. We're looking forward to visiting again in the future to try more flavors. read more

My daughter and I popped in here on a whim because we had a sweet tooth. I've never heard of this place and had no idea what to order Ordering is via kiosk. Folks working are working. They're busy making puffs and drinks. I did have a question about the custard drink and one of the ladies was very kind and described what's in it (not much, milk + the flavor you order). We ordered the Oreo custard drink and the honey butter puff with vanilla custard filling. While we were waiting, the couple next to us got their order and it was the ube puff with ube ice cream. I wish we ordered that. The custard didn't sound too good once I saw that. The drink was good. Perfectly Oreo. And I never feel like a milky drink is refreshing but somehow this one was. The custard was alright. I like the crunch to it. Plenty of custard. If I ever go back, I'm going to get the puff with ice cream. read more

I don't know why I waited so long to try this place out. While I was hanging out at Victoria gardens we stopped in to finally give this place a try. The bright space lifted a smile and we made our selections. Chocolate, churro, ube, strawberry, honey & butter, frozen mango, Oreo, green tea, crispy almond. You can choose your filling flavor which consists of regular cream or ice cream. We chose original and strawberry shortcake puff both with vanilla filling. Wow! Freshly made, a nice little crunch to it and filled to the brim with filling. A change of scenery from the norm of dessert options. The sweet pastry smell permeates in this little shop. Large cream puffs or mini sizes. Boba drinks are also available. Small plates knives and forks if you plan to eat inside. Friendly, efficient service! Will definitely come back to try more filling flavors but can't go wrong with the original. read more

No matter how many times, I have shopped at the Victoria Garden, I never gotten a chance to try the Beard Papa's. I was here with a friend to try this place for a dessert. I tried the original puff, which was filled with delicious, whipped cream. I also ordered Orange Jasmine Tea with Crystal Bobas. Service was great and ambiance was cute. But then I remembered trying it long time ago in Little Tokyo, LA. read more

I happened to be at Victoria Gardens to pick up some flip flops from JCPenney. I've been wanting to grab some Coastal Cane sugarcane juice. As I was walking towards the Victoria Gardens Food Hall, I noticed Beard Papa's at the corner right outside next to the food hall entrance. I've read about them through the Yelp events, but haven't yet tried them. So guess where I went next after Coastal Cane? That's right... right here LOL. It's a very bright yellow and comfortable shop with good inside seating. They weren't too busy at the time of my visit which is perfect for me so I can take more photos. I really didn't know what they specialize in until I walked up to the counter... basically creme puffs with your preferred choice of filling. What a cool concept! I asked the nice ladies behind the counter, what was their best seller? Honey & Butter was the answer so that's what I got with vanilla filling. The creme puff was very tasty, but the vanilla filling was a tad light in the sweetness. I'm a sweet tooth! After eating my creme puff, I decided to order a couple more to go for my daughters. Before deciding on the filling, I got to try a free sample of the chocolate and matcha green tea fillings... they were both very good... sweetness was better. Thank you! I ended up gettting the ube with vanilla filling for my eldest daughter and oreo with chocolate filling for my youngest daughter. Both my daughters enjoyed and liked their creme puffs very much. I'm a Beard Papa's fan now. I'll definitely return to try their other variety of creme puffs and fillings. I will buy more next time. Btw, they do sell other desserts and drinks, too. read more

Missed the experience to get to try in Japan, so was glad to stumble upon a location here in Victoria Gardens! Got a few flavors to try with the fam: Ube Eclair w/ Vanilla Filling, Oreo Eclair w/ Cookies & Cream Filling, and the Original w/ Vanilla. For the original, super fluffy and airy, yet crispy pastry. On the inside, a chilled and generous amount of cream that is the perfect amount of sweet. Custard texture with an almost ice cream like flavor. For the eclairs, the flavored chocolate coating on top contributed a little more of a bite and were super yummy as well! They'll run you around $5 a pop which may sound like a lot for the idea of a traditional cream puff but I think they're worth the price! read more

I was so excited when I found out they had a location in Victoria Gardens because I love their cream puffs!

Good desserts should add coffee to their menu; other than that it was delicious and fresh.

Beard papas is my absolute favorite dessert I can eat 4 in 1 sitting If I wanted to!!! The fresh creme in the puff is the best and it's so light and airy not overly custardy or too sweet I dislike when desserts are too sweet. This rancho location I am so greatful for because I don't have to go som the way you LA or chino to enjoy my favorites! This locations service is always friendly and attentive. The ambience is open, airy and very cutesy. read more

I recently bought a dozen mini cream puffs from Beard Papa's at Victoria Gardens - 6 Originals and 6 Green Tea. Personally, I found the Originals better. With 6 filling options like Vanilla, Chocolate, Green Tea, Ube, and Ice Cream, the Ube at a Yelp Event I recently tried stood out as my favorite. Although a bit pricey, these fresh and delicious cream puffs are totally worth it. They offer a range of large cream puff shells (Original, Chocolate, Green Tea, and more) with various fillings. The options are diverse, including desserts and Boba drinks. Service was good, and the place was kept clean. Conveniently located next to Gold's Gym I frequent, I can't wait to return for more tasting adventures! My Personal Rating : 4.06 Dessert 4/5 Staff 4.1/5 Price 3.7/5 Ambiance 4.2/5 Cleanliness 4.3/5 read more

I rarely eat cream puffs because they're too rich or sweet for me. However this place's cream puffs are just Perfect!!! Not too sweet, but so much flavor, bread was perfect. Amazing presentation. Yes they're pricey but yes they're worth their price because they are a Gourmet pastry. I can't buy too many because they're pricey but they are worth the money. I had to control myself and only buy 3 and spent around $18 I think? Chose s'mores, strawberry cheesecake, churro-- with vanilla filling. And of course the service was great too, he explained everything when I could've just looked up and read the menu with common sense haha. Thanks!! read more

Beard Papa's - Strawberry clair Puffs - Desserts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Found this place when searching for desserts near Rancho- it's in Victoria Gardens, so great location. The place itself is cute, but small. We walked in and there were 2 men working, they weren't super busy, but there was a sign on the register to order at their kiosk. It was our first time there and we would have loved recommendations. We ended up going with a variety pack, and then ordered 2 ice cream puffs, a tea with boba and 2 custard drinks. The cream puffs themselves were fresh, and the cream (both chocolate and vanilla) was tasty. Our favorite was probably the strawberry shortcake puff with strawberry ice cream. We are giving 3 stars because the flavors just left you wanting more, and honestly, the service was lacking. They just put everything on the counter and you have to be paying attention or you won't notice they "completed" your order. It took a long time as well, but if you like cream puffs, I would definitely say to stop by if you're in the area. They weren't our favorite treat (considering Victoria Gardens has a lot to choose from), but glad we at least gave them a try. read more

Worst customer service and food. Store opens at 11 am, my son and I were there at 11:10 am. Upon entering all the chairs were still inverted on top of all the tables; a serious safety issue. My son proceeded to the kiosk and ordered 8 cream puffs with various fillings. After placing order we were told by the worker that they didn't have the honey butter puffs and they only had chocolate and vanilla filling. The worker then motion to the case and said that's all the puffs they had. NOTHING WAS FRESH!! He proceeded to refund the 3 honey butter puffs and made the remaining puffs with the only fillings they had. To this day, the refund still hasn't shown up in my bank account!!! Crappy service and horrible tasting stale puffs. Not worth the money or your time. read more

These are quality cream puffs, for sure. I ordered the 6-pack of 3 chocolate, and 3 vanilla. The cream was nice and sweet in contrast to the much less sweet pastry, exactly how a cream puff should be! Deducting 1 star because they're decent sized, but still pricey for what you get, and you have to order by kiosk, which I always find weird and impersonal (and this is coming from a very introverted person!). read more

Always a good treat. First time having it at Victoria Gardens. Years ago, there was a location in Cerritos and it was a weekly treat for me. Still just as good as before. Now there are a few more options. I'll be back. read more

The staff is not overly friendly at all. They're young and they barely pay attention to you long enough to take your order. When I inquired whether there was a box price for choosing a selection, I was told that it was per piece. Big mistake! More people would order a box then per piece. There should be some price cut if you order 4, 6, 10, 12.... Additionally, I was surprised that the green tea filling was not sweet at all, like no sweetness. And I am very sensitive to sugar. The chocolate filling is good. My son wanted to try the vanilla filling but at $4.25 each ($5.45 with tax and tip) we only got three. They have a few other fillings, but all they had today was chocolate, what they called green tea, which is a very strong, Matcha, unsweetened filling and vanilla. We also ordered custard Matcha shake. It is a little sweeter than the filling, thankfully. I was really looking for a jasmine tea with a cheese cap and Boba. No such luck. And they were out of Boba. My son bought a pricey bottle of plain water. Out of boba, only three filling flavors on a Saturday an hour after opening! This location is not very well equipped with personnel or inventory. I was very disappointed after I drove 45 minutes to come here. I saw this company on Instagram and decided to pay them a visit . I think I will make my own cream puffs or go to a bakery. They will not be ice cold with hard, crunchy chocolate topping. read more

One of my favorite places to get a cream puff! The cream puffs itself are fresh, and the custard inside is creamy, smooth and sweet. They have many options for different kinds of cream puffs and they also offer drinks. They also have a new ice cream puff that just released when we were visiting. About $5 per cream puff The ambience inside the the place was bright, yellow, and plenty of seating, and a very happy and comforting space. They do also have a bathroom for customers. The service was great, and the food came out very quickly . Highly recommend if you have a sweet tooth. Delicious custard! read more

We got the: Strawberry Shortcake Cream Puff with Vanilla Cream (I liked this one more) Oreo Cream Puff with Chocolate Cream (my friend liked Thai one more) Around $6 dollars per cream puff (a bit expensive imo) but, I personally enjoyed this desert as it was light, airy, and creamy! It wasn't too sweet or overbearing and the cream was just sweetly flavored! The makeup of this cream puff however was hard to eat. When you bite into it, it squishes the cream out of the sides which makes it very messy. The breading also breaks apart when you bite into it, so I recommend having napkins or a sink nearby to wash your hands after. We tried cutting into it, but because it was cold, it was too hard with the plastic knife. Overall would go back to try other flavors! read more

Hands down the best cream puffs. I enjoy their honey butter cream puffs and chocolate eclairs with vanilla filling. The employees were really nice and the guy made me fresh honey butter cream puffs. It's addicting. No more cream puffs for me for a while. Ambiance was chill and they had house music in the background. Cream puffs are not cheap but they're sooo good. PROS: friendly staff, gender neutral restroom, and accept Google/Apple pay. CONS: N/A read more

Parking: Plenty available at Victoria Gardens Ambience: Brightly lit and vibrantly decorated; includes window seats if you enjoy people watching during the day Service: Quick and friendly! Taste: Got the chocolate eclair shell with ube filling. It's been awhile since I've had the original filling but it tasted fairly identical to me--beautifully colored, but lacked any ube taste. The cream puff was fairly good but not all that fresh. Also got the brown sugar boba milk tea, which was alright. read more

First, I'll start with the ambiance. The wait was short and the chairs were surprisingly comfortable. It was sleek, modern, and clean. We ordered the ube fondant (heated), the strawberry shell with seasonal strawberry cheesecake filling, and strawberry shortcake. I was between getting the ube and chocolate fondant and asked the server for his recommendation, and I'm glad I got the ube as suggested. It was sooo good! Crispy on the outside. Not too sweet. Just right. And warm? C'mon! I am not a big fan of strawberry cheesecake, but my boyfriend really liked his strawberry with strawberry cheesecake filling. He commented that the bread was perfectly crisp. The strawberry shortcake shell with no filling was pretty decent, if expectedly plain. Service was fast. I would definitely go back again for the ube fondant, to try strawberry shortcake with the vanilla filling, and the almond croissant eclair. read more

A very interesting concept! I've always grown up loving cream puffs so I wanted to try these out when I was in the area. I got the Ube Eclair with Vanilla filling while my boyfriend got the Oreo Cookie Crumble Eclair with Vanilla ice cream filling! I honestly forgot if the ice cream was a limited time thing or not, but it was obviously somehing that needed to be eaten right away. I found the shell on top was a lot sweeter than I thought, so I might have to try out the originals next time. I'd probably even get the minis to make it easier! The same goes for the one my boyfriend got since it was so big, it was hard to bite into without dripping everywhere. read more

Beard Papa's - Oreo Cookie Crumble Eclair w/ Vanilla Ice Cream (Top) & Ube Eclair w/ Vanilla Filling (Bottom) - Desserts Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

The cream puffs here are amazing :) My go-to fillings, regardless if it's the minis or original, are chocolate and matcha. Not sure if these two flavors are set in stone because at the other location I normally go to they constantly change their flavors except for Vanilla. But overall, my experience here was great. I will come back to this shop for some dessert if I am ever nearby :) Btw, if you are lactose intolerant, I highly recommend taking the Lactaid pills before eating the puffs! read more

The store owner responded to my review saying they did not lie but they did lie because they told me that I can order online (he even mentioned this in his comment) and the deal would be honored but it was not honored on the website. I was totally fine going to the different location. I understand that this store didn't have the deal but because you told me that I could do it online, I did. And it just wasted time and money because it was not honored online. Your worker even felt bad when I showed him it didn't honor it online. I am just leaving my experience with your store so that others can know that there are better beard papas to go to and not this location. read more

Came here for a post-lunch dessert, it's a small spot with sitting inside available it wasn't busy, staff were friendly and patient. I tried the original with vanilla ice cream filling - it was okay, I think it was a little too stale or hard for my liking unfortunately. Although, they have so many other options I just chose to take the safe route with original & vanilla. I would try this place again and maybe get something different with more flavor expectancy as well as possibly requesting more freshness. read more

First time, customer was super excited to see that there was some pastries locally. Walked in the place was empty on Sunday afternoon, the female Employee did not greet me nor ask how may I help you? Once I got her attention I ordered my four items a tea with Boba. I thanked her and paid for it. The male gentleman did a great job preparing my items, the young female grabbed the items from him, handed them to me without saying thank you nor did she give me a straw for my Boba drink very disappointing. The food was delicious unfortunately due to poor customer service I will never come back nor would I recommend this place because of that. read more

I tried the original flavor with matcha cream inside and it was perfection! Matcha cream was really authentic and natural.

An afternoon walk after an early dinner. I didn't know there was a Beard Papa in this area so I was pretty excited. Of course, I love strawberry everything LOL. They had strawberry icing dipped puffs and I had their cream custard added as the filling. Yumm I could eat boxes of these! The puffs were perfect texture and the cream was light and not too sweet. The icing sweetened the entire puff. You can tell that was all sugar. The shop was clean and bright. A great place to stop for a quick sweet snack. read more
