Japanese cream puff chain Beard Papa’s has expanded to San Diego with the opening of its first store in Kearny Mesa, bringing its signature made-to-order pastries to local customers.
Founded in Osaka in 1999, Beard Papa’s is best known for its light cream puffs filled with freshly prepared custard.
“Our cream puffs are baked fresh on-site every day and are some of the largest you’ll ever experience,” said Mark Nathan, MD for Beard Papa’s. “With real vanilla bean, premium custard and high-quality ingredients, Beard Papa’s is more than just a dessert – it’s a fun, crave-worthy experience that keeps people coming back for more.”
The shop offers cream puff shells in Original, Chocolate, Oreo and Matcha, paired with the brand’s Vanilla Bean custard. Additional fillings, such as Green Tea and Chocolate, will be available in the future.
“Our goal is to serve the community with a dedicated Japanese bakery that has such a strong cult following,” said Andrew, Franchise Owner of Beard Papa’s San Diego.
Beard Papa’s currently operates more than 400 stores worldwide across Asia, North America and Australia.
