Proprietor was very courteous and kind. I only ordered a small item, but he gave me a complementary cream puff. This original store comes from Japan, the cream puff itself outer shell is crispy and freaky, and the inside custard is wonderful wonderfully creamy and smooth. Anyone in need of a delicious pastry who can eat egg, should come in for a taste. Quite delicious read more

Stopped by a couple times for the puffs and a boba tea. I like this place but I wish they would have a public restroom for customers. They have one but it's in the back, and I can see why it's hard for customers to use that one b/c you'd have to cross through the kitchen and doesn't seem like a good idea to have foot traffic through there. The staff is kind though and a nice place for a treat. read more

I love these cream puffs but man they are expensive here! The vanilla filling is the best. Very creamy and rich. These cream puffs haven't changed ever since I was introduced to them back in 2010. The outer shell, puff, is very light and not too thick to bite through. As mentioned these are the best I can find in the area. There's a bakery in Hawaii that does cream puffs and those are the best hands down but if you don't live in Hawaii, these are 2nd best. My only gripe is the prices. I bought a 12 pack over the weekend and paid $50! I immediately had buyers remorse lol. The staff was friendly enough and served me my cream puffs in a timely manner so no complaints there. Come hungry for these and they will not disappoint! read more

Stopped in for the first time last weekend. Never have been in a beard Papa's location but the visual posters on the windows lured me in. The duo behind the counter I assume the owners, were very accommodating and helpful explaining the different options. I wanted to try everything but settled with an cookies and cream Puff with ube filling and a s'mores puff with original vanilla cream. The lady behind the counter let us taste the creams before we made our final decisions. Excellent customer service, fresh food, lots of options and a clean dining room. The cream in both puffs with excellent, light sweetness not too heavy and made for a fun treat. It is downtown Tracy so parking maybe a hassle, but it's worth stopping by. Definitely will be coming back when I head into town next time. read more

I bought 7 puffs the day I went with my cousins. Major throw back to my college days when they had them across from SJSU. Custard flavors available when I stopped by: vanilla, chocolate, ube. Cream Puffs: *Dubai Chocolate Shell x2: vanilla & chocolate filling *Matcha Shell + Vanilla *Ube Shell + Ube *Creme Brûlée Shell + Vanilla *Plain Shell + Vanilla The vanilla custard filling is a little sweet for me now but I liked the chocolate! Not too dark or rich. Both were creamy and held up well. The Dubai shell is dipped in chocolate coating and topped with pistachio pieces and crispy kataifi (shredded phyllo dough). I really liked this with the chocolate custard filling. My dad enjoyed the ube white chocolate shell filled with ube custard, not too sweet. They also have mini puffs! Six pieces per order, mix & match custard filling flavors. Not limited to puffs, they offer Korean shaved ice and milk tea/fruit tea drinks as well. Service was pretty good; they have nice staff. The place is spacious and inviting. Great place to enjoy your snack/dessert. read more

Today me and my girlfriend went to Beard Papa's and we got one Cookie Butter Cream Puff and a Strawberry Lemonade. The Cream Puff was so fresh and tasted amazing (we ate it pretty fast lol!) and we finished are lemonade. The owner saw that and gave us a free refill and a water! Which were amazing and he was so kind! If you want a nice cozy spot to chill and enjoy a Cream Puff and a lemonade or more this is 100% the place to go! 10/10 Service, 10/10 Food, and the environment was so nice. read more

The best cream puff around. Store boasting big luxury seat, puffs to order and a massive air purification system that scrubs the air in the dining room. The best cream puffs around. Made to order so there is never a soggy bottom. Nobody likes a soggy bottom. Thats never good. Vanilla or chocolate or flavor of the day fillings combined with countless shells makes for seemingly infinite options to satisfy everyone. S'mores was very satisfying with vanilla bean filling. Oh Piggy. Flavorful authentic vanilla bean filling with a non soggy shell and a bit of a crunch to the chocolate covered goodness. Perfectly toasted marshmallows on top. I'm seriously searching Zillow to see if there is a reasonably priced home very nearby so that I could always be within walking distance. Wonderful dining area. Big luxury seat that my kitty would make himself home in. Ridiculously comfortable looking. When compared to the Castro Valley location I really admire all the little personal touches here. A massive air purification system had me swooning. Interior air quality couldn't have been better. Often times bakeries have a stuffy feeling to them but not here. It was Starbucks quality air. Pleasant to the nose and you could tell this industrial sized system was tirelessly scrubbing all the air and many many cubic feet per minute. A perfect experience. I love a bakery that does one thing and does that one thing better than anybody else. I could confidently serve these desserts to discriminating family members on a holiday - and its so very sad to say the average bakery out there I wouldn't dream of such a thing. read more

A must try if you love eclairs! I haven't had Beard Papas in years since I went to their SF location. It was as amazing as I remembered! I got the Ube, chocolate, smores and crème brûlée. Don't ask me which was my favorite because I'll say all 4. It does have a LOT of filling in my opinion, but some may prefer that. I scraped off a good amount just because of preference. The employee was really sweet and helped me decide, she was quick and the establishment was very clean! read more

I haven't had a Beard Papa's in years and when I came here, their menu has expanded. The pastry options are almost the same with new ones like honey butter and s'mores. The fillings are vanilla, chocolate or ube custard. They also now offer a variety of drinks and shaved ice desserts. They also have the Dubai chocolate. Surprisingly not too sweet, real crushed pistachios but no pistachio cream. The interior also have claw machines and nice photo op backdrops. The staff are nice and friendly. read more

So happy to see a Beard Papa's in Tracy--never thought I'd see the day! I used to always stop by the one off Powell Street near the BART station in San Francisco, so having one close to home now is amazing. The customer service here is top-notch--super friendly, kind, and welcoming. The cream puffs are just as fresh and delicious as I remember. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area! Highly recommend swinging by T4 or Coffee nearby to grab a drink while you're enjoying your pastries. Great spot all around--five stars without a doubt! read more

It has been a long time since I've had cream puffs from beard Papa. I remember the quality being larger. The price hasn't changed, but the quality is the same. I only gave this place four stars out of five because the sizes have shrunk down. Quality of service: B Quality of food: A Price: $- $$ read more

We walked by on a Sunday late afternoon and it was empty inside. It was extremely clean with cutest little decor. Plenty seating available inside. The service was GREAT!!!! We didn't know it was a buy one get one original free and upon check out she was nice enough to let us know and gave us that discount without even knowing! Super honest and kind. It definitely is pricey for individual pastry average $4.50 for one, it's also veryyyyy messy as the first. It's got the filling everywhere BUT it was super tasty and the service alone will make me go back. Due to the cost, I will likely keep my eye out for more BOGO offers as then it's super worth it!! read more

If you're craving dessert in Tracy, try Beard Papa's cream puffs! I love their cookies and cream filled with matcha or vanilla bean. I would recommend their matcha and cookies and cream puffs! We walked into Beard Papa's and it was not too busy. The man preparing our order was efficient and friendly! He even dropped our order to us when he was finished preparing it. One situation is the parking, but they do have parking behind their building also. read more

I was confident I wouldn't be a fan of any time of puff with cream in it (unless it was ice cream of course...) but I was so wrong! I've been in to Beard Papa's a couple of times now and my top to favorites are the Oreo one with the vanilla custard and the strawberry one with the strawberry cheesecake custard! (Pretty sure that one was a Flavor of the Month.) This place will definitely be my go to for a guilty pleasure when it's time for a treat. The puffs are nice and airy and the cold custard is packed with flavor. My only advice... don't eat them in the car. :-D Service is consistently friendly and helpful and the store is kept very clean and presentable. read more

We recently were made aware of Beard Papa's and decided to try them out this week. What a gem of an addition to Tracy! We took the short drive from Manteca and found parking just in front of their location. The decor is nice and very colorful. We were promptly greeted and ordered immediately. Don't be fooled, this may be a cream puff place, but they have a variety of options to choose from! A flavor everyone in the family will enjoy! They'll even do catering for large events! I ordered the strawberry cream puff with cream cheese filling and my wife ordered the crème brûlée cream puff. Both of them were absolutely incredible! I also ordered the strawberry lemonade, which was refreshing, I just wish I had more! If you like cream puffs or are looking for a fun dessert place, give Beard Papa's a try, you won't regret it! read more

This place is so good and another yelper said it reminded them of cream puffs from Hawaii, and I have to agree. The inside is so cute and my child, myself, and my mom loved eating our treats inside. There was no weird smell so that's great, it seems like they were able to address that. The service was nice too and we were about to ask for cups of water and the owner's husband(?) came by our table and brought us some! It was like he was reading our minds! He even brought a mini plain cream puff sample for my little one. The cream puffs are delicious because the filling was cold, thick, and flavorful. They also have many different flavors and combinations on rotation. I'm so glad this store opened in Tracy! I'm looking forward to coming here again soon. read more

Beard Papa's - Ube cream puff with vanilla filling - Desserts Near Me - Tracy, California

I love it when expectations are met. That's the experience I had when coming to Beard Papa's this month. Here's the scoop: Delicious selection. And easy to order instructions. I've visited other locations before so I knew the drill. Try the ube shake, it's soo good. The creme brulee was the best thing. The cream filling options were vanilla and ube. Here my warning: the cream is the perfect sweetness balance and they fill the puffs a lot, so prepare for cream dripping out with the first bite! Just be prepared to lick your fingers haha Clean location. Like, pristine. It's brand spankin new so it's to be expected. Bright and inviting. Loving all the yellow and multiple tables to enjoy a treat Street parking only but the location is perfect with open spots just around the corner by the residential side of downtown. No public restroom. Plan accordingly. read more

Came here for a yelp event...noticed there was a check in yelp coupon They have other fillings to try for your cream puff Parking is street parking, so a bit difficult to find. I'd suggest making a plan to maybe watch a movie, grab something to eat and for sure get dessert here. Small location but the outdoor sighting isn't hard to find. Friendly service, clean place read more

I was lucky today and passed by & they were open (soft opening!) They currently have the vanilla custard filling with your choice of original, green tea (matcha) or chocolate... I had to get all 3! The menu appears to have other flavors which they said would be rotated as monthly specials! How exciting!! All of the flavors I tasted today were delicious, my personal favorite being the matcha! They were so fresh the cream came out with every bite! I love that they make the cream with real vanilla bean! You can really taste it! The location is downtown across from bofa and easy to find parking! The inside is nice, bright and open with a few tables. The staff greeted me right away and was super nice and attentive. I'll definitely be back to make sure I get a taste of all the flavors! read more

I was in the area about two weeks ago for a hair appointment. I decided to stop by Beard Papa's for some puffs. The first thing that was a slap to my face was a scent in the facility. I don't even know how to describe it, but it's not pleasant. It smells almost rotten. Maybe old pipes? I'm not sure. But luckily I was the only one there so I was able to get my order fast. The puffs are simply amazing. Nice crunchy exterior with a sweet rich creamy vanilla bean filling. Grab a lot of napkins cuz it's a messy eat. Come for the puffs but maybe eat them outside. Downtown Tracy during this time of season is nice though. It gives a really nice cozy feeling to it. Especially with a cup of warm coffee :) read more

Imagine fist size profiteroles and this is basically what Beard Papa's is very good at. We ordered the Mocha custard drink and the Ube one, curious as to what a custard drink is, but it's basically a smoothie and its very delicious! Then I ordered 3 of the creme brûlée , a smores, chocolate and ube shell with vanilla filling. The entire selection was delectable and would highly recommend as a dessert option. read more

Great, fresh cream puffs, just like we use to make at family gatherings in the 70's. The original cream is flavorful!

A cute place with nice staff! I come in semi-frequently since I work nearby, and the employees are very accommodating and kind.

Ok so.... I don't get the hype? And I love cream puffs. Basically- there are empty shells, the puffs, with some sort of topping on top, chocolate, matcha, etc so you don't get much of the flavor. Then they are not filled yet, you choose the filling, not sure if it changes but the options were vanilla chocolate or ube. I felt that the puffs were really dry- not in a good way. And the cream was... fine? Sadly for me not worth the price. And it did smell strange inside I couldn't quite place it though. The lady serving was nice but I don't think she really spoke English so I ended up not getting exactly what I wanted I'm not sure id try it again read more

This place has the most disgusting smell I have ever witnessed at a place that sells food or drink. I came out smelling like the place. I don't understand how someone can work an 8 hour shift in there and not think anything is wrong with the smell. It was like stale rotten sewage. Is the kitchen dirty? Is the bathroom not clean? Are the sinks and toilet backed up? Someone on Google says it smells like butt and I would have to agree. Do better. read more

The food is really high quality and great. Compared to other bakeries and stores that sell cream puffs, these are the best. They don't skimp on the filling unlike other bakeries. The drink I had tasted smooth and sweet. The services were very kind, accurate, and fast. They even mentioned an offer that I didn't know and took them up on that offer. The ambiance was nice and chill, and it looked like a great place to chill with friends and maybe play a little crane game too. The offer they had that I took upon was the "get 5 cream puffs and the 6th is an original vanilla filled cream puff for free." I got the chocolate, strawberry, Ube, crème brûlée, cookies and creame, and the original." I highly recommend going here if you love cream puffs and custard. read more

Tracy just got an additional sweet treat resort! I grew up eating beard papas and it's such a trek to drive all the way to Milpitas or Cupertino for a fix. They just opened up so they only have Chocolate, Matcha, Cookies and Cream and Vanilla shelled cream puffs and only custard for fillings. I hope down the road they add their other flavors. Quality is just as great as I remember but it is quite pricy. Overall I look forward to continue supporting this business in Tracy! read more
