Mmm...Cream Puffs

For the most part, I will avoid going to Hollywood — or anywhere in the city of Los Angeles — if I can help it. But two weeks ago my aunt was in town, and my family and I took her around local places so she could see some sights. One of our stops was Hollywood & Highland.
The most exciting thing at Hollywood & Highland (for me, at least) was seeing the hand-, wand- and footprints of the Harry Potter trio in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre. After I put my hands on the cement blocks there, we strolled down to the shopping area and — lo and behold — I spotted Beard Papa. I completely forgot one was located here! ::slaps forehead::
My dad ordered half a dozen, and we ate them while warm — delicious!
I ordered a green tea latte with tapioca, which was refreshing on such a hot day.
My parents and aunt were asking me, "Why is it called Beard Papa?" To which I replied, "The logo has a picture of an old man with a beard." ;P Frankly, I think he looks like a cartoon version of the Gorton's Fisherman.
I generally don't eat at places that have been hyped up on food blogs or TV programs (did you see Pinkberry featured on MTV's The Hills this week? I still haven't eaten there). But I've been wanting to try these cream puffs for a long time. I wasn't disappointed, I'm happy to say. They're so fresh, straight from the oven and pumped full of custard right before your eyes. There was a green tea-flavored cream puff on special the day we went, but unfortunately I didn't try it. :( Sounds like it would've been good, though.

Hey, thanks for the comment! It's been so long since I've seen you...shame on you! :) Well, I hope you're back for good.
Anyway, I LOVE cream puffs. Were they expensive? Are they big? I want to make a trip there just to get one! :)
I've been really lazy about reading food blogs lately. The last couple months have been spent in Harry Potter-ville, and it's all I've been reading and thinking about. LOL.
I think the cream puffs were $1.50 each. I ate only one, as they're pretty big.
Sadly, they have no staying power. If you don't eat them right away, they become unremarkable fairly quickly.
I figured as much, since they don't contain any preservatives. But I wouldn't know how unremarkable they would've been hours later because I refused to let my cream puff go that long without being introduced to my tummy. ;P
i've been wanting to try these...haven't yet.
You've got to try them at least once. I need to try them again, though. ;)
I thought they are the best when eaten cold? I've had them while in S'pore...it was crazy long queue then.
I've eaten frozen (defrosted) cream puffs before from the grocery store. Those are tasty too. But there's just something different about eating puffs when they're warm and flaky with fresh custard inside.
