Beard Papa Sweets is famous for their cream puff from Japan, with a tagline similar to that of Carlsberg, “probably the best cream puff in the world!”. I think i am kind of slow here, since Beard Papa has landed on our shores for quite some time, but i am only trying it now.
Today you can find Beard Papa throughout Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia, US, Uk, and of course, Singapore. And there are currently 6 stores island-wide.
Besides their original vanilla cream puff, there’s also the cookie choux puff, strawberry puff, eclair puff, coronet, chocolate eclair, fondant chocolat, cheesecake stick, and tiramisu. All in the range of 2 dollar plus per piece.
It’s always a burden on the pocket eating and trying so many different type of food, so when i saw they are having a promotion of $1.60 for their original cream puff, i didn’t think twice before buying the cream puff. But pity they only have it for the original flavor, i wanted to try their strawberry and chocolate too!
Anyway there’s always this promotion coupon on Sunday times where a cream puff also cost $1.60 each, but i was lazy to cut it out everytime though.
Original Vanilla cream puff ($2.20)
I’m a sucker for cream puff, so the following comment would certainly be bias, and even exaggerating. The first bite of the cream puff brought me to the heavens, the fluffy and airy filling was a perfect complement to the light, chewy and slightly crispy pastry.
And i think at even at the $2.20 usual price, where else can you get such a big and awesome cream puff? I can hardly think of any place else, the durian puffs at Goodwood park hotel is excellent, but i don’t eat durian, and they are not exactly cheap.
After tasting the cream puff, i was reluctant to pass it to my friend who also wanted a bite, and was tempted to get a few more if not for the fact that i had dinner afterwards. I think i won’t have any trouble eating a dozen of it anytime.
Cheesecake stick ($1.30)
The cheesecake stick at $1.30 is the only item at Beard Papa sweet that sells for less than 2 bucks. And i think at #1.30, its definitely a good deal for a cheesecake stick that is cheesy in flavor, and has a biscuit crust base to go along with the cheesecake.
Total bill was $2.90 for two nice piece of desserts, and i won’t stop myself the next time i pass by another Beard Papa Sweets, oh the tiramisu, the chocolate and strawberry cream puffs, and the chocolate eclair!

They have this franchise in Malaysia too but I still never sink my teeth on anyone of it yet. Most of the time I don’t see much customers at their outlet/stall so I put this into last priority on food testing.
Most people are into dough nuts nowadays than cream puff.

love beard papa’s cream puffs. you can actually see the vanilla bean specks in the pastry cream. super yummy. i’m craving one right now… haha.
Aiyoh… how can?? To try their puffs only after they been around for so long.
It’s very satisfying for me everytime I eat one. Never fail to perk me up. Should be the best cream puff for me at the moment. The choux is nice and crisp, the cream is good. I like the choc. Strawberry one tastes like yoghurt.
email2me: hahaha, give me cream puff over doughtnut any day. lol
wentong: cheers! you just reignite my craving. lol!
didally: ya i feel so lousy, shld have try earlier! ya after eating the cream puff i felt so happy. haha
For the cream puff, I prefer the chocolate flavour though. The vanilla flavour taste a little too milky..
zh: hahaha alright, i haven try their chocolate one. must grab some the next time i passed by. haha
do you know whether beard papa ever done any charity or being part of charity event before??
waiting for ur reply asap
thanks =)
Beard Papa’s is the best! Had it at the Causeway Bay HK location (in Sogo) and it was awesome! My faves would have to be the vanilla, tiramisu and the coffee flavours~!
Been craving for it since I was last back in the summer, and was ecstatic to find a location in Toronto – but the filling’s thinner and not nearly as thick and creamy as the HK location, their flavours are very limited, and they are as inefficient as to serve a range of only three flavours plus vanilla a day. Very disappointing. Which location/country did you try?
