The Japanese cream puffs chain Beard Papa’s is opening its latest store in Charlotte, North Carolina on January 21st, 2023.

Originally founded in Osaka, Japan, in 1999, Beard Papa’s started as a small bakery and quickly grew to more than 400 locations, in 15 countries and territories. The Japanese dessert chain specializes in cream puffs and offers a wide variety of customizable delights.

Guests can create their custom flakey puff confections by choosing between eight cream puff shells: original, chocolate eclair, green tea eclair, strawberry eclair, honey butter eclair, OREO cookie crumble eclair, and crispy almond. Guests can pick from a variety of made on-site fresh, creamy custard filling flavors that range from traditional staples to monthly featured flavors.

The menu extends beyond just puff pastries. Offerings such as cheesecake, chocolate fondant, savory pastries, and a blended drinks menu are available.

“Baked fresh on-site daily we offer the largest cream puffs you will ever experience. The all-natural recipe is simply addicting. Everyone that tastes one of our unique Beard Papa’s confections craves it again the days following.” says Mark Nathan, Marketing Director for the franchise.
