Beard Papa's - Denver, Colorado

Absolutely delicious! The puffs are perfectly bite-sized and filled with rich, creamy goodness. I tried the vanilla, chocolate, and green tea fillings—each one was amazing in its own way. The texture is just right, and the flavors are well-balanced. Plus, the customer service was top-notch—friendly, welcoming, and truly made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend!

Customer service is fantastic, and that's it.
The bread on the bottom was dry and very burnt flavor. The filling inside had zero flavor. The chocolate on top needed more flavor. I love marshmallow, so I went with marshmallow flavor, and the marshmallow on top had been sitting outside for a while. Very hard, half flavor.

Very good cream puffs. So fun to pick your shell and then pick the filling.
Service was good.
Restaurant is clean.
We went for the Mashle figures with a purchase of the assortment pack, but they didn’t have the figures.
All the shirts were too small so we couldn’t buy a shirt.

This place is delicious! I happened to be in the area shopping and spotted this place. I never heard of it. I told the worker I'd never been there, and he helped me make my selection, and it did not disappoint. They are so soft, and the filling is light and creamy. When I went around 3 p.m., they had a happy hour. Buy 3 and get one free.

This was a hard no for me. Randomly saw this place and wanted to try it. I'm not sure I ever had a cream puff before but it being served cold really threw me off. I chose vanilla for the filling and it was not flavorful at all. Again no.

I go to the Boulevard Center regularly and have glanced at the Beard Papa's sign, but I had no idea what it was about until I finally checked it out.

I'm a little confused about the concept. I know this chain is very popular, not just in Japan, but around the world and even in the U.S., although this is the first location in Colorado. These creampuffs seem like street food, but they are impossible to eat.

The store has lots of seating, but no plates, utensils, or even napkins that I could see. The very pleasant staffer handed me a to-go bag without even asking. I'm glad I took the hint and left. Trying to eat my puff on-site would have been a disaster.

The store is cute with clever wallpaper, a little "history" of Beard Papa, a nice display of the plain and topped puffs, and a friendly staffer. The sign warning, "THERE IS NO CASH IN REGISTER," was a little off-putting.

The puffs are packed in little sleeves that keep them in position sideways in a colorful bag or box. This packaging is well thought-out. I also appreciate the concept of filling the puffs to order to keep them as fresh as possible and to keep the pastry cream properly chilled.

I got home and eagerly tried the first puff. Fortunately I put it on a big plate because, after two bites, pastry cream was running everywhere. So much for a hand-held treat. I set it down, washed my hands, and finished with a knife and fork.

I tried refrigerating my second puff. This firmed up the pastry cream a bit, but still a knife and fork item for me.

I thought the pâte à choux was nicely baked, fresh, tender, and flavorful. I tried the Original and the Honey & Butter. I really liked the Honey & Butter; it was very tasty. I also tried both vanilla and chocolate pastry cream. I thought these were well-balanced and not too sweet. There were also eight varieties of puffs with a candy coating, more like an éclair, but I did not try any of those.

These seem like a great snack to eat on the go or to offer at a cocktail party, but they are impossible to eat without making a huge mess unless you use a knife and fork. I think they're just too big. I'd go for the Minis if I tried this again. The smaller size seems much more sensible to me.

Holy yummy!!! These are the best cream puffs ever! The cream is so light and airy - and the puff is light and flaky! We tried so many flavors! The creme brulee was fire🔥! As was the green tea cream! And they have baby puffs that you can order with the 3 different creams! Omg I can't wait to go back!!!

I liked Beard Papa's because it was simple and to the point. The cream puffs were varied and stuck to a simple formula. They were tasty, but a little pricey considering other options around. The staff was friendly and knew what to recommend. Had the vanilla bean and the cookies n cream item.
