I was excited to see that Beard Papa’s was coming to Austin and visited immediately after their grand opening. The experience was horrible - bad customer service, frozen product, dirty tables everywhere, but I assumed they were grand opening pains. I recently visited again and, somehow, it was even worse this time. This place looks like it hasn’t been cleaned since opening. The tables, floors, walls and even bakery cases are filthy and not in a “we got a rush and haven’t had time to wipe down tables way”. I visited several hours before closing and they were out of almost all their flavors, including original. The cream puff itself was ok this time, but definitely not fresh and not worth the $$ or the drive.

Had higher hopes for this place, but ultimately disappointed with the cream puffs. Cream filling was bland and broken, and shells were somehow stale and crunchy at the same time. I don’t think they are worth $4 a piece.

3rd time I'm here and it's only 8:20 and Google + store hours show 9 PM. Why would you make someone drive 30 minutes to see it closed. This is absolutely ridiculous and not the first time this has happened

Let's be real—Beard Papa's is awesome. When I lived in Dallas, a trip to Beard Papa's was always a treat. I'm so happy there's a location in Austin! Went there today after seeing a movie nearby (?) The staff are so friendly and not to mention fast! They did a great job on my order—I'll definitely be hitting this place up again!

We used to go to Houston to grab some delicious cream puff but we found out that it is now in Austin!Place was spacious, you can hangout with friends or do some school or work stuff. The place have only inside seating and have a good distance from one table to another.The service was good nothing extraordinary.The quality of the dessert kind of different tho, I am not sure if they refrigerated the shell and it feels not that fresh but the taste was there. Still enjoyed it.

Cool and light cream. Very fluffy and good ? Green tea flavor must try ?

Good price and yummy snacks. Idk why I just learned about this place. The green tea cream puff and Japanese pudding were very good!?

Really tasty drinks! Seems like a really fun brand as well. Definitely want to come back and try some of the tasty treats! Employees were all helpful and friendly!

Gobbled up my churro creme puff so fast, I didn't have the chance to take a picture. I stumbled upon this spot on my last trip to the Domain, and was very pleasantly surprised by how airy and delicious the creme puff was. Prices are a bit steep for what you're getting in my opinion, but the flavors are definitely worth it!

This place has been on my list for a while and today i had some time to kill at the domain so i decided to give it a try. You get to choose an eclair shell flavor (i chose s'more) and then you choose the flavor of filling you want (i went with vanilla) they hand fill your pastry right then for you so it keeps the shell nice and crisp. I really enjoyed this treat though i will say it was a bit difficult to eat and definitely messy. The packaging is helpful for this but still something to be mindful of if youre considering bringing little ones or wearing white
The puffs themselves were alright, but I had a negative experience with the Sunday night staff. We had to wait 20 minutes to get our 2-puffs order. On the one hand, they work extremely slow. The three employees there tonight work with too much patience. But I had to ask about my order twice. On the last time, the order apparently had been ready for some minutes, but they did not call us or at least not loud enough. The place must have had less than 3 other adults, so they clearly did not make an effort. We were sitting in one of the inside tables. The cashier made a very noticeable insincere apology and tried to hint that it was our fault. I wish I hadn't tipped at order time. I sure won't on the next time if I ever visit again.

Great stop for dessert. My daughter and I stopped by for a quick dessert. We split the Oreo Cream Puff filled with ice cream. It was delicious!They had many other options, I'll have to go back and try them all!

If you haven't tried Beard Papa's get there as fast as you can. A city isn't civilized without Beard Papa's. Austin fell into that category before Beard Papa's opened at the domain. We just need more locations. Be in "the know" and get yourself an assorted 6 pack of cream-puffs ASAP. You'll surely be a hit with your peoples.

Delicious cream puffs. Friendly staff and owner. Cool vibes with the nearby park. Great location.

Probably better for kidsStopped by on a saturday night to try some cream puffs, not too busy, staff was very friendly. I tried the strawberry filled and was disappointed by the lack of strawberry flavor and the staleness of the pastry. My husband had the cookies and cream with vanilla filling, and his was definitely better than mine, but still kind of overly sweet and stale.
