beard papa’s choux cream (cream puffs)
you would never think that with a name like “beard papa’s” you would be getting some of the tastiest pastries on the go. but this is precisely what you get at beard papa’s; great tasting cream puff made while you wait.
the company started out in osaka in 1997, and has since spread like a sweet, creamy kudzu all over the world, including korea and the u.s. you say you live in the u.s. and have never seen a beard papa’s? well, they can be mostly found in new york and parts of los angeles.
i’ve tried the cream puff from the los angeles beard papa’s, and well, the taste is exactly the same as the one you can get in osaka. that is, crispy and flaky on the outside, with creamy, not too sweet oozing creme inside.
if you’re lucky, the crust will have been freshly baked, and you get some warm cream puff and you just can’t beat walking back from work, munching on a warm cream puff.
and it’s always been my experience that you can always trust a product from a guy with a santa claus beard and a pipe. thanks, papa.

i heard that there was one there… some day, i would like to check it out. thanks for the heads up!
by the way, do people call that area the “little osaka”, or is it just me?
