What People Are Saying About Beard Papa Sweet Cafe
Featured Review

In Short – At the base of the Hollywood & Highland complex, a narrow storefront leads to a streamlined, well-lit interior where servers decked in chef hats respond to pastry requests by eager patrons. Already a hit in the Big Apple, customers watch while the sous chefs dispense made-to-order cream custard into puff shells topped with sprinkled sugar. Additional confections include a cheese cake stick, double chocolate eclair and chocolate fondant.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- The puffs are best suited for instant gratification. Because no preservatives are used, they don't keep well past 24 hours.
- Look Good:
- Located directly across the street from the Disney-owned El Capitan Theatre, this makes an excellent post-movie romp for kids and adults.
- Fun Fact:
- Beard Papa's originated in Japan, with some 250 cream puff stores in the country and other areas in Asia.

Best Cream Puffs in LA
by porkjello
I've told many people that this place has the best cream puffs in all of Los Angeles. The only place that has better cream puffs is in Hawaii. I'd rather have a cream puff here than some overrated yogurt and one of those colored fruit named trendy places.
- Pros: Cream Puffs
- Cons: Hollywood and Highland can be tough to get to at peak hours

yummy flavors
by juju13es
My mom would always buy me cream puffs from bakeries while I was growing up, so I stubbornly decided that this place was just overpriced and not any better than my childhood cream puffs. However, my friends persuaded me to try their cream puffs, and I was amazed. Their puffs are huge and their cream is more dense than the ones I used to eat. But the best part about Beard Papa that sets them apart from the other generic cream puffs is their variety of flavors. I tried the green tea, expresso, and strawberry... and I still can't decide which one is my favorite!
- Pros: delicious puffs, flavors
- Cons: a bit pricey for my liking

Delicious Cream Puffs
by lwmango
I first tried Beard Papa's cream puffs in NYC and was very excited when they opened a branch in Hollywood. The pastry is light and fluffy and the cream lightly sweet and flavorful. They have a rotating batch of flavors that change on a daily basis, my favorite is the seasonal pumpkin. A little on the pricey side, but that keeps you from indulging too often!
- Pros: Friendly Service, Fresh Products
- Cons: Price

Giant cream puffs
by cartrinh
Giant cream puffs. Lots of cream. Good. If you like that stuff... I like the chocolate fondue they have. The cream puffs are better than average.
