Beard Papa’s

If I hear Beard Papa’s I instantly think «best giant cream puffs». I took the kids today just to have them for dessert, and they are as tasty and messy as ever. Had the one with chocolate and marshmallow on top filled with vanilla custard and they were great. My favorite shop in the H-​Mart mall.

I was a little disappointed they were out of the mini ones on this visit. I prefer them to the larger ones as they can be consumed over a period of time during the day, and do not «fart out» their innards as do the larger ones when you bite into them. None the less — they’re always tasty.

Tried it, it was fresh and handmade.

I thought it was odd this business manages to stay open until I actually had tried Beard Papa for the first time. It is simple and delicious! The pastries are flaky on the outside dusted with powder sugar and filled with a custard on the inside. You have a few different options with flavors of custard and type of pastry, but varies greatly on availability depending on how busy or not it was that day. If you get there near closing, your options are most likely going to be super limited.
The service can a hit or a miss with who’s there, and the store interior isn’t that great. At least, you have a place away from that food court though.
I would say if you’re looking for a sweet treat that it’s probably not worth going out of your way to get since it’s inside the Hmart food court area. However, if you happen to be there already then it’s worth at least a try.

I like to get our cream puff fix after dinner, especially when i’m near by. My husband introduced me to beard papas couple weeks back and ive been having mad cravings almost every day. And as a result, we’ve been coming here quite frequently. I always get the Éclair ($ 2.65) and my husband gets the cookie (also $ 2.65) or the original.
Today they were out of all regular sized cream puffs, so what can we do? Gotta get my fix, oh yes! We opted for the mini cream puffs which were just as delicious. The outside is flaky and crispy while it’s soft and sweet at the same time. Does that make sense? Just try it for yourself! I rated this place 3 stars because of their limited/​poor selection. I love cream puffs, but that is literally all they offer.
FYI For those of you living in Seattle, I believe there’s another beard papas located in uwajimaya in internationa district. It’s my understanding that the two locations (both in hmart and uwajimaya) are managed by the same person.

This was a good inexpensive cream puff located inside of H-​MART Food court The price is right young lady at counter is very nice and service is quick.

For review #500, I knew I had to pick a place that was worthy of the honor. Beard Papa’s, you made it.
Tucked away in the H Mart foodcourt, Beard Papa’s is quite easy to miss amongst the larger, more aromatic options. However, if you skip over this little hunk of dessert heaven, you will miss out. They specialize in cream puffs. It’s a limited scope, to be sure, but it works for them. What few items they offer, they do RIGHT. My sister had an éclair with vanilla filling and I had the traditional cream puff with vanilla filling. We were both quite impressed. With so many dessert options available out there, this simple puff full of cream wowed us.
The filling had a pudding consistency, and it actually tasted like vanilla, unlike some cheaper versions I’ve had at other places. This hole-​in-​the-​wall food court anomaly makes me want to live closer to Lynnwood. I can’t wait to go back and try their other flavors.

The place has a cult following. The people that work here are hard to handle politely, so I stopped trying and now we all understand each other better — indifferent to accuracy or politeness. Got it! Sorry to bother you! Three fillings. Chocolate, vanilla, green tea. The fillings are good. The cream puff usually tastes like maybe it was shipped here from somewhere about a week away. I mean that how it sounds. Somehow I always think I am tasting cigarette smoke, too. They are a little tasty but I might just be brainwashed by their cult followers.

I just walked out after waiting for 15 minutes to be addressed at the cash register. I came in and another j group was being helped, the girl up front was slow and having difficulty with thier order. She kept getting things wrong, couldn’t put on the gloves, etc. I would have been bothered less if her coworker, standing right behind her wasn’t just sitting around playing on her phone. She didn’t even bother to say hi or apologize for the wait. After looking visibly upset for a long time with 2 people behind me I left. In the past they’ve been good but today their customer service was the worst.

Good cream puffs, but kinda pricey. My personal favorite is the éclair (the normal cream puffs kinda feel lacking.) my suggestion? Wait ’til groupon has a good deal. P. S. Service sucks, thus the 4 stars.

Green tea cream puff.
Service quick and friendly.
I’m just amazed at how something so small seems to fit so much yummyness.

hard to communicate with worker. took few mins to get help. ordered cream puff. it was stale and pricey. will try another day maybe just an off day for them.

I am not impressed with my experience today. Normally I let things slides but I am not happy.
I go in to Beard Papa’s an order mini eclairs. First I ordered 3 and the girl informed me they come in 5s, so I was like okay fine. I pay, then she grabs cream puffs and starts to make those so I try to stop her and tell her I wanted eclairs. She continues to keep making the puffs and tells me they cost more. So I say, okay I will pay the extra because thats what I wanted. She doesn’t even stop making the cream puffs that I DID NOT WANT OR ORDER, and says she can’t cancel my order but I can order more and pay for them. SHE DOESNT EVEN BOTHER TO FEIGN CONCERN OR ACT APOLOGETIC that she messed up my order as she continues to make the cream puffs that again I DIDNT ORDER. Then finishes and puts them in a container, and I finally begrudgingly accept them and just say its fine but I am not happy.
To top it off, the mini cream puffs she gave me tasted STALE and had barely any cream in them, Id say less than ¹⁄₃^rd. THEY WERE STALE AND FLAVORLESS. But they don’t care, they just take your money and give you something you didn’t order and stick it to you.
Don’t bother with this location, and if you do bother with them make sure you yell your order to them and make them repeat it back to you multiple times before you give them any money, because they won’t care if they give you the wrong thing. They don’t care about customer service.

Their bread is very fresh. The price seems very expensive but the quality is amazing.

Not a very friendly or inviting place. Employee was asking me what kind of filling I wanted for my éclair and I didn’t understand a word she said. She had to point to a sign before I understood.
The éclair is basically a cream puff with a chocolate topping then filled with either vanilla or green tea custard. We had one of each. There is a 5 minute wait on eclairs as they put the chocolate topping on then refrigerate it for a couple of minutes before filling with custard. Elciars were delicious and filling was not sickly sweet.

So yummy! We went to H-​Mart for lunch and stopped by Beard papa’s for their crème puffs. We love the vanilla and green tea flavors.

I have always been a big fan of this place. I should frequent it more often. The cream puffs are light and airy and the filling is not too sweet. Located in the H mart shopping complex I would recommend trying out this place to anyone.

I love their Green Tea Cream Puffs here :) You need to annunciate your words when you order here because the workers always get confused with what you order/don’t hear you correctly.

I. Love. Beard. Papa!
It doesn’t really matter which kind you pick, the ‘original’, chocolate, or the mini puffs, which chocolate or vanilla custard. It’s all delicious. Get whatever they have on hand, but if you have to choose, try the mini-​puff eclairs, they’re like little pieces of heaven in your mouth.
Two small complaints about Beard Papa in general: since they are made fresh daily, you need to make sure that you buy them early and eat them that day. I’ve had more than one occasion where I go to buy them in the afternoon/​evening and they’re sold out. Also, since they make them in the mornings, if they DO have some left in the evening, sometimes they’re a little stale. It doesn’t really matter, as I’ll eat them stale or not, but just a word to the wise.

Yes Virgina, there is a Santa Claus because he finally delivered a Beard Papa to Lynnwood! MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone North of downtown Seattle!
Okay, so I’ve eaten my fair share of these little bad-​boys both in Seattle and Oahu. The cream puffs makers at this location need to teach those at the Uwajimaya food court a lesson or two! Consistent size does matter!
Not only do they offer the sacred Beard Papa cream puff, they also have the Eclairs, and the Fondant Au Chocolate, aka gooey chocolate cake!
While I did visit close to closing time, the Cream puffs were solid and tasty, they even survived the trip home to the Mrs… yes, an act of God, for sure!
Worth a visit to Lynn-​hood, if Cream puffs are your thang! WORD!
