Beard Papa's - Little Tokyo — Restaurant in Los Angeles

ALWAYS FILLING

DETAILS & EXPERIENCE I don't come often to Beard Papa's, but every time I have, it's always been a delightful experience, with richness enveloped deep inside the pastries, Beard Papa's is a must for all who love cream within their desserts. A major shout-out to Vanessa, who was not only working alone, but handling an entire line of customers, with fast speed, efficient work (Noticed how she did her job in the back), and a great smile. Major credit to where its due.

The mochi's here are really good. I got mango and chocolate. I've tried Mochi in other places, but here it seems to have a good soft taste without it being overly sweet. It's a nice balance and they do a good job here. I also liked the Creme Brulee Tart and watching the process in how its made. It wasn't overly sweet and it hit just the right spot. I tried a strawberry thing which had glazed strawberry cream over it and strawberry cream inside. (Forgive me, I forgot the name of it) Anyways, it wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either, perhaps just not my taste. Perhaps it could have been better with some fresh strawberries inside of the item, that could have been interesting.

SETTING It's located within a mall, so its always expected to be ventilated. Plenty of seats outside and a few inside.

PRICE, QUANTITY, & QUALITY FOR PRICE $5+ I say 5 because its always nice to leave a tip, but its definitely affordable.

SUGGESTIONS Creme Brulee is nice. Not only does it taste good, but its cool to see the process how its made. Makes it a much more enjoyable experience.

FINAL THOUGHTS None. Beard Papa's has always been good to me. Definitely planning on trying out more items next...

I actually didnt know what a cream puff was and the guy working there was pretty rude (he was very overwhelmed), but they are DELICIOUS and heres the low down of beard papas:

All cream puffs (regardless if you get original or a specialty) are filled with a cool, whipped custard of your choosing

Original cream puffs have no sweet flavoring on top. They are just the bread pastry with some confection powder on top (and filling)

Or you can get specialty flavors and theyll put some kind of icing on top of the ‘original’. Again, you will still fill it with a custard.

I got the originals filled with vanilla and green tea. These desserts are not too sweet (which i love), and actually a bit refreshing bc the whip tastes cool....

This place is hard to find the first time you come here. It’s located inside the shopping plaza on the first floor. I recommend parking in the parking structure right by it and walking over as street parking is very limited. Mouthwatering Pastry Puffs!!! I couldn’t get enough of them. The Original, Strawberry and Eclairs Puff are my favorites but all of them are really great! Staff could be nicer but I just get my Puffs and go. Don’t forget to validate your parking ticket for free or else you will have to pay for parking in the parking structure. Totally worth the trip to get...
