Perhaps I missed the taste boat on this one.

Beard Papa's is a chain of Japanese bakeries/dessert cafes that are famous for one thing and one thing only: cream puffs. When rumours of an LA location started last year, that was all I ever heard about. Beard Papa's. There's now one in Hollywood and another recent opening further south in Gardena, and I do recall what a feeding frenzy it was was when it first opened its doors.

Beard Papa was supposed to open its first location in Northern California at 99 Yerba Buena Lane in San Francisco back in January, but apparently, it is still not open. May the force be with you on opening day.

Oooh... Beard Papa.

I first had these when they opened a new shop in the train station in Sendai, Japan. You could smell the pastry shells baking from the floor above.

They have a mini-store tucked away in a larger Japanese store in Manhattan. I walked there in the snow last year, bought a few to eat. The box rested in the open window of my hotel room to keep them cool until after dinner.

Freshness is a big part of their appeal, they fill them to order so the shell is nice and crisp. The filling is a blend of a cr? anglais type of custard and whipped cream.

I'm not big on waiting in long lines, but I'm sure I'll make a pilgramage up to San Francisco when they open there.
