Beard Papa's in London!

Joe, Caleb, and I confirmed that Beard Papa's does exist in London! Funny how if you can't find something on the internet, you need to see it to believe it.

Beard Papa's
143 Oxford Street
Mon - Fri: 8am - 10pm
Sat - Sun: 10am - 10pm

They are starting to have more special flavors. Today it was cappuccino. You will also find green tea, caramel, and chocolate coming soon (rotate on a daily basis). They still don't have sesame which is one of our favorites. To make up for the dissatisfying Korean dinner we had, Caleb had 2 puffs and Joe and I split a 2nd. We stuck to vanilla, which is still #1. If I haven't had it in a while, I always have to have a vanilla first. And if I go for seconds, then maybe the flavor of the day. It did puzzle us why this place opened so early in the morning during the week. Do people eat it for breakfast?!

Heard through the online grapevine that there is a Beard Papa on Oxford Street just opposite the Uniqlo (where you can buy cheap cashmere sweaters by the way)!

Joe and I have been avid followers of this special cream puff store since they opened their first U.S. store in New York. At one point we went 3 days in a row. If you have never tried Beard Papa's you should start with the regular vanilla flavor. They have daily specials like...

Sesame (yum!)
Chocolate (when is chocolate not good)
Pumpkin (okay)
Green Tea (not that sweet)
Earl Grey Tea (haven't tried - yet)
Coffee (haven't tried - yet)

Below is Joe at the Puente Hills (Cali) mall location before it was open. We paid a visit over Christmas break. And our friend Suong enjoying a cream puff at the Astor Place location in NYC.
