Default Beard Papa\'s Cream Puffs

I just heard about these recently but havent had the opportunity to try them yet. Apparantly a pretty cult following in Asia.

Any thoughts or experiences? Worth a drive to try?

Tank,

They are so-so cream puffs. They are delicious, because they are cream puffs. But they are not as good as anything you'll get from a good bakery. Cue Paluka w/ comments about how awesome they are. For a fast-food snack, I agree they are pretty damn great.

How about from a business perspective? Good in trendy, high traffic areas basically?

El D - I've never had a cream puff at a bakery that is as good as Beard Papa's Green tea or vanilla bean creme puffs, and my step father was a baker. I want to visit the bakeries you visit if you can really get better, because its pretty hard to beat Beard Papa... but I'd love to try!

They are awesome. They are basically just cream puffs but for some reason (I'm assuming secret Japanese government technology) they are amazing. They melt in your mouth mmmm.... Are there a bunch in the US? The only one I was aware of was the one on Canal St in NYC.

Looks like a handful in the US, but hundreds in Asia. Sounds yummy [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
