Beard Papa's

Fresh cream puffs with cloud-like pastry arrive at counters across the city every afternoon. Beard Papa’s keeps that tradition alive on 29 John Street in Lower Manhattan, where dine-in tables and takeout counters share the floor. The dessert shop sits at 29 John St New York, NY 10038, a short walk from Broadway’s lights and the South Street Seaport breeze.

A quick call brings orders straight to the counter before the line builds. Dial (212) 389-6224 to claim a seat or grab a box for the subway ride home. Tables stay open late on busy nights, while the takeout window hums from lunch until dessert o’clock.

Use the map to plot a straight route from Chambers Street or Bowling Green—easy parking garages sit one block north and west.
