Beard Papa's - Telegraph Ave. - Berkeley

After passing this place in September this year, I laughed at the name. Beard Papa's? What's that? I later found myself staring at the computer bored a week later and found that they sold the most mouth-watering cream puffs, ever (at least from what the pictures showed). Next time I went to Berkeley, I had to go.

We encountered the Berkeley store in late October. The walls were a bold yellow and quite small. What else could you expect? It is after all a specialty store. They only need to much room for cream puffs.

Pumpkin Filling!

Since it was October, I was delighted to try their seasonal flavor of PUMPKIN! Yeah! The crust was soft and chewy but the cream filling on the inside tasted just like pumpkin filling. Like a pie with crust all over...it was decadent. I was surprised I didn't gobble it up in three bites since it was pretty small. But, on the caloric side, it was only around 240? Not bad, not bad at all.

Did I forget to mention the powdered sugar?!?
