Beard Papa’s

i worked at the one across san jose state not too long ago. this is the only one i’ve been to that serves local flavored cream puffs, sandwiches, and japanese drinks. the puffs were great, but i feel bad for the single worker. because i know how boring it can get behind that counter with that annoying uniform on. :(sorry kiddo!
the haupia flavored cream puff was ono though

This Beard Papa’s is the only one that I’ve been to with the sandwich versions, which was really weird. It’s across from the two-​story shopping center and is really small so you have to take it to go (but we didn’t mind since there’s a lot to see around this area). I’d play it safe and go for the regular puff. I do want to try the savory breakfast puff though. Next time!

I dont know what it is about this particular Beard Papa’s, but this one is my favorite. This one tastes soooo much better than the ones in southern CA!!!
Especially their strawberry cream puff… it’s fresher, a lil more strawberry with a lil hint of raspberry. i can’t describe it, but it’s sooooo goooood! I’m a choco-​holic, but at this location, i always get the strawberry puff.

I fault Beard Papa’s cream puffs for my sudden weight gain last year. I couldn’t get enough and they were accessible at Food Pantry’s ! I would stick to the vanilla flavor and have no more than 3 per sitting unless you are deliberately trying to gain weight. Trust me, they are that F’ing good !
Thank god we have a Beard Papa’s here in NYC!

I ordered 3 vanilla cream puffs right before I had to leave to the airport. My goodness, it was like I took a bite of heaven. LOL… I loved it… yum yum yum. I ate 2 and my hubby ate one. I am too nice… should have kept the 3^rd one to myself and be a pig.

I’m not big on cream puffs and I’d say I’m a pretty tough judge when it comes to pastries, but I was quite impresesd with these! Looking at it, I just expected a big puff pastry with a dollop of bland cream inside. I had the white chocolate with vanilla filling and it was surprisingly satisfying and absolutely delicious!

I’m a HUGE fan of the Original and ‘Éclair’ puffs, but was thrown for a loop when I saw this Beard Papa’s opens at 7am and offers «Savory Breakfast Puffs». It’s the same puff, but sliced with either bacon or portuguese sausage, egg and cheese. I was a bit nervous at this new offering but LOVED IT! Very good!

The white chocolate éclair is effing amazing.

This is a popular japanese franchise and I have seen it in Singapore, never tried it until Honolulu, I bought the green tea and chocolate one, because they were made fresh you cannot leave them out. The cream is light, not too sweet. However it is very filling as it is huge! I like it but probably don’t want to eat it too often.

These aren’t your average bite-​sized cream puffs – you have to eat them with 2 hands. They come in 8 flavors, but don’t try them all at once because they’re 220 calories each, 55% of which are fat cals. This is where my friend Lara would say, «A moment at the lips, a lifetime at the hips!»
I’m excited to try the Green Tea because I’ve only had the Original Vanilla and Chocolate. As good as these are, they aren’t even close to the stuff of gods I had in La Spezia, Italy (a.k.a. champagne-​infused strawberry cream puffs). I ate 6 of those while walking down 2 blocks and probably spent the next 2 months shedding the weight I gained. Well worth it!

Here is my haiku for Beard Papa’s:
Thirteen grams of fat
Is that one cream puff worth it?
Yes, I think it is.

Im not a big fan on cream puffs but these mothas know how to make some pretty tasty cream puffs. Ive yet to experience the green tea cream puffs at the end of this month… it’ll be a party in my mouth! but the coffee cream puff is what i have to settle with til the green tea cream puffs makes their appearance. these little wonders are satisfying after eating just one so you won’t have to feel like u over indulged urself.

Um, the puffs are DELICIOUS. Both the vanilla and chocolate are really savory. They also have Beard Papa’s in San Francisco, to my delight. I am not even a «puff» kind of girl, but these just melt in your mouth.

This was the very first Beard Papa I’ve ever been to. It only opened a few weeks before I visited in December 2006, and it’s walking distance to Waikiki Beach.
The service was great — the staff was friendly and let me sample all the cream puffs I wanted, unlike another Beard Papa location that I visited (which shall remain nameless in this review).

Liliha’s is way better!

Okay so can anyone tell me from just this business name, what the heck they might sell here… anyone? Hello!!! Anyone???
Beard Papa’s, hmmmm… I’m thinking salty seafaring kinds of items, or maybe a few hand crafted men’s grooming tools… alias, no…
What they do serve is some of the BEST damn cream puffs this side of heaven, truly manna from the God’s! Beard Papa, you da man!!! OH BABY!
Serving up some of the finest cream puffs, both sweet and savory, this place ROCKS! Found in the hip mess of Waikiki’s Lewer’s street, you’ll find vanilla, chocolate and caramel cream choices to delight your tongue! The eclairs were outstanding with a nice layer of chocolate! Hand crafted/​filled to order the puff pastry does not get soggy and stays nice and flaky and believe it or not, crunchy! Even having left 1 lone cream puff in the refer overnight, how I was able to do that I have no idea, it was still perfect the next day!
Truly this is crack on a puff, but what the heck, I’d eat a dozen if you let me, I was on vacation after all… ahhhh…uurp, excuse…

The Beard Papa cream puff is nothing than two layers of pastry heaven – the inner layer is a choux pastry shell and the outer layer is a piecrust. Cream fillings vary each week and last week was green tea, vanilla and chocolate.
It would be an ordinary cream puff were it not for the fact that it is laced with Prozac.
After you pop of one these in your mouth, you just feel like you’ve taken a mood elevator. With each bite, gooey green tea creamy goodness collects at the corners of your mouth and a dusting of green powder on your person. You smile, the person watching you smile through a mouthful of green goo also breaks into a wide grin. It all looks kinda gross, but no matter. At Beard Papa’s, the new center of Prozac nation, everybody’s happy.

The cream puffs are all good, but I think the plain vanilla one is the best.
I remember when Beard Papa first came out it was so crazy that they only limited 6 to a customer.
Now they have so many branches and I don’t see as much people anymore…

I love the vanilla and caramel flavored cream puffs (I usually don’t like caramel, but these are delish!). The cream puffs at the Lewers location are much better than the Beard Papa’s — Food Pantry location, strange how it’s not consistent at every location.
***Look for the «Buy 1 Get 1 Free» coupon in one of those free coupon books («The Best of Oahu») that you find along the sidewalks of Waikiki. =)***

The Green Tea Cream Puffs are to die for! YUM!
