I just recently heard about these delights - has anyone tried them?

Beard Papa's Cream Puffs

A review of them here

Yummmm

I wonder if they will rival the "bud-gasmic" Boston Creams of the Heritage Bakery in Matawan? The filling sounds very similar (combination custard/whipped cream)

I tried a green tea filled puff. The choux pastry had been sitting a while, but it was still good and crispy. I went at 1PM on Friday to the newly opened Astor location in NY; it was pretty obvious that business isn't too good. It's impossibly messy, and I tried to look my best as the filling gushed from everywhere. People say the filling isn't sweet enough, but I really like the subtle sweetness and flavor. Then again, I have "Chinese tastebuds".

Hi Randi

Where is Heritage Bakery located? I live in Aberdeen and I wouldn't mind going there to check out the Boston Creams.

The Heritage Bakery is at 319 Broad Street in Matawan. Their phone number is (732) 566-6720. The Boston Creams are to die for. But, beware their other baked good - when they are fresh they are very good, but we have had some problem lately with stale cakes. Just a heads up.

Has anyone been to their new place at the Garden State Plaza (Paramus) or have they not open yet?
