After tantalizing promises and narrative cliffhangers, we’ve at last come to a happy resolution in the drama of bringing Japanese cream puffs to the Loop: Beard Papa’s has finally opened at Block 37 (108 N. State St [Pedway Level], 312 960 9000). The assembly-line puff construction is hypnotic to watch, and you can customize your confection by choosing a filling (vanilla custard, chocolate cream, dulce de leche, green tea) and whether or not you want the puff dipped in chocolate. Bonus points for absolutely no cupcakes in sight. [Official Site]
