beard papa's sweets cafe, west los angeles I haven't been keeping up much with what's going on in the dining underground, mostly because the idea of leaving an air conditioned apartment and braving the sweltering heat outside, even if it's from the apartment to the car, is just too unappealing. However, I did have to run out to the Japanese market here on the westside of Los Angeles, and I noticed something new.

Yes! There is a Beard Papa's Sweets Cafe in West Los Angeles' Little Osaka, along the strip of Sawtelle Boulevard between Santa Monica, known to those who are in the know simply as "Sawtelle." It looks like the FKA (formerly known as) Mousse Fantasy is now sharing space with the Sweets Cafe that is famous for its giant cream puffs, as well as notorious for causing much hype.

I wasn't able to go in, since parking in the area is tight and I didn't have it in me to play Parking Lot Showcase Showdown, but since it's now on the Westside, I have no excuse to not try it.
