Beard Papa’s
We operate Beard Papa’s dessert shops that serve fresh, natural cream puffs along with a limited selection of other desserts, beverages, and related menu items. Our shops serve customers looking for a quick dessert or snack for dine-in, carryout, catering, or delivery. We run either stand-alone shops in high-traffic retail commercial areas or kiosk shops in malls and other indoor shopping locations. We prepare and sell our products using our approved ingredients, supplies, equipment, and operating methods. Our shops are built around a consistent menu and service format focused on dessert sales in busy retail settings.
