M was feeling a bit down, so I surprised him with some Beard Papa’s. He loves chocolate, so I thought I would get him one of their cool cakes. I love cream puffs and since Beard Papa’s is in Metrotown, I thought it would be convenient.
There wasn’t much of a line but there was a bunch of people just staring at the lady making cream puffs. I found this rather annoying because I just wanted to order. I stood behind a few people for a while and they weren’t moving in the line or talking to the people taking the orders. Turns out they were just looking.
I ordered and I was on my way with my little paper bag. I also saw the nutrition information and yikes….I was scared for my health.
They have a few more products since I came a year ago. They had this thing called ‘Paris Brest’. It sounded a bit scary at first, but it’s just a donut looking pastry with custard. If you want to be more technical, it is a Choux pastry shell with fluffy custard filling. It is a commemoration of Paris Brest et Tour, the worlds oldest existing bicycling event. This should not be mistaken with Tour de France.
It was pretty good and it reminded me of the original cream puff but in a different form.
The other item I got was the Fondant Au Chocolate. It is their version of a chocolate lava cake. It has a very nice oozing chocolate center when you break the cake with your spoon.
This is probably my favorite item from Bearded Papa since I love chocolate lava cakes. Yum! It is usually best served warm, so stick it into the microwave for a few minutes and it should taste amazing.

You have to try their milk tea flavor if you like them! It is my ATF <3
I find the Aberdeen location has the most flavors, I wonder why?
Sometimes I bring the lava cakes & microwave them…don't do it. It is seriously addicting!
WHAT?! Milk Tea flavour?
Sometimes I envy people who live in Richmond! Everything seems to be a bit better and food is everywhere.
