Company Background
Beard Papa's is a specialty dessert shop that has been serving fresh and natural cream puffs since 1978. We are located in Tokyo, Japan and have only one store location. Our best selling item is the Original Cream Puff made with our original recipe of fresh eggs, butter, milk powder, sugar and flour iced with vanilla custard cream filling topped with whipped cream. Beard Papa's also offers other desserts such as eclairs, choux buns (chocolate or custard), tiramisu cake (classic Italian flavor), ?clair tart (classic French flavor), Japanese-style sponge cake "mochi" filled with ice cream or red bean paste.
Franchise Opportunity
It's hard to find a good dessert that isn't loaded with sugar or artificial ingredients. Most desserts are loaded with sugar and other unhealthy ingredients, which can ruin your diet or cause weight gain. Beard Papa's is the perfect solution for people who want a delicious and healthy dessert. Our cream puffs are made fresh with natural ingredients, and our other desserts are also made without any artificial additives.
