We were in the Hollywood and Highland shopping center checking out all the cool shops and eateries around the area. Right when we were about to leave we found ourselves at Beard Papa to get our parking ticket validated.

Beard Papa originated from Osaka Japan and claim to have the world’s best cream puffs. All the ingredients that go into their pastries are all natural and baked fresh. I’ll let Beard Papa tell you his story himself. They have many locations around the U.S.

They have everything from cream puffs, mochi ice cream, cheesecake sticks, fondant au chocolate, and eclairs. Their cheesecake stick look interesting and I was tempted to give it a try. I will tryt it next time I come back.

I wanted to try their green tea flavored cream puff, but all they had that day was vanilla and coffee. I decided on the vanilla, which was dusted with a little bit of powdered sugar. They don’t fill it with cream until you order it, so that it keeps the pastry from getting soggy.

The pastry itself had a nice crunchy and soft texture that I really liked. The cream itself was excellent as well. If you look close enough you can kind of see the vanilla beans inside the cream. That was a definite plus to know that they actually use all natural ingredients. Hopefully next time they will have their green tea flavored puff ready for me.

Taste: 9/10
