Beard Papa's

After seeing this spot come up a lot online, decided to give this spot a shot. We were in the mood for some dessert, so we ordered some cream puffs via DoorDash. The order arrived quickly and everything was packaged great. Now on to the desserts! Not sure if I've ever had an eclair/cream puff and didn't consider myself a fan but Beard Papa's has changed my mind. I tried the creme brûlée one--this was filled with vanilla pastry cream and had a nice sugar/caramelized crust. This was really good but then I tried the Oreo one. I got it filled with chocolate cream. I lovvvvvvvved this one. The Oreo crumble on top was so good in combo with the chocolate cream. I liked the texture with the toppings on this one. I would get this one again if you are looking for something different and unique for dessert!

Used to come here a couple times a month when I lived in Irvine. Really delicious cream puffs.Fillings have really good flavor and the overall texture of the puff itself is really good! Soft and delicate but slight harder texture on the exterior. Makes a perfect overall bite. Service is great, they work quick and efficiently.Lots of room to sit inside and they have made it a nice place to sit and enjoyDefinitely recommend and will come back again when in the area!

Came here tonight after having dinner nearby with a group of 8 and was happy to find the big communal table was available for us. But they have plenty of seating for smaller pairs or groups too. The menu has something for everyone with coffee, teas, other drinks, and different desserts. Kids liked the good selection of gelato and the workers were happy to split a small cup, which comes with 2 scoops, into 2 cups with one scoop each. So big thumbs up for awesome service!I also liked they made sure utensils and plenty of napkins were available and the whole place, including tables and chairs, were clean.

Came back to try the shaved ice. Ordered the house which is the original 빙수 which was made with from bottom to top...Shaved ice, milk, syrup, red bean, strawberry, mango, kiwi, and little rice cake. Was delicious but have to honest had better.

My husband and I are definitely fans of Beard Papa's. Having previously tried them, we stopped in after lunch to pick up dessert. Beard Papa's is located inside the Mochi spot on Culver in Irvine. There are banners outside but can be easily missed if you don't know what you're looking for. I opted for the original puff with Vietnamese coffee custard while we went with the chocolate shell stuffed with chocolate custard. We paid and waited for our order. The cream puffs are stuffed to order. They are baked fresh every day. I like that they aren't super sweet but satisfy that cravings for sweets. The Vietnamese coffee custard had the strong flavor of coffee and it was really good. Honestly, you can't go wrong with their flavors but I suggest you try the original with the vanilla custard to get a baseline. Service was good and there is plenty of parking in the lot.

I was craving for dessert after a savory dinner at SÚP Noodle Bar. When leaving the parking lot, we happened to pass by Beard Papa's which was calling my name, lol. They have different-flaved shells now such as (ube, matcha, honey butter) but I just wanted the original as that's what I remember enjoying the last time I had a BP cream puff. Very good and hit the spot for us. Service was friendly.

I want to love this place, but they're very stingy on the cream inside the puffs. My favorite are the mini puffs because they're easier to bite. This is the THIRD time I've gotten them with almost zero cream. When I lift up the puffs it feels like an empty shell and sure enough there's not really anything in there. This has only happened within the last three months. Maybe they hired new people who don't know how to fill the cream puffs, but it's been a disappointment each time I've gone since October 2024. I had to add a picture to show what I mean. Besides that small dollop of cream you see, there was nothing else. The first bite was just shell and the end piece was just shell.

The staff was really friendly. The review is mainly about the food.I came in eager to try the croissaint taiyaki and was a bit let down being presented with a flat taiyaki that looked like it just lost a battle with Obi Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. I'm not even that familiar with Star Wars but I had to look it up because it was way toastier than I was expecting and I'm not sure how else to convey the mediocrity of the food without making pop culture references. The mochi ice cream was good. I'd order those again. Overall, I'd come back again only if I were to order something else like their cream puffs.

Beard papa's is my favorite cream puff chain! In Asia, they make the "cookie" fresh but sadly at this location, they only make them fresh in the morning so if you crave this at night, it's not as crispy and flaky as you imagined. However, beard papa's addictive vanilla cream filling taste exactly the same and helps redeem itself

Such a cute little sweets shop next to mitsuwa marketplace located inside the mochi dessert cafe. I ordered the original cream puff and the peach shell cream puff with peach cream. Both cream puffs were so incredibly flakey and the cream was perfectly fluffy and not overly sweet. They also serve gelato and other deserts and sweet drinks. This is a great spot to bring the family for a sweet treat during these summer months. We will definitely be back on our next grocery run!
