Last fall, public records showed that Beard Papa's — a 2000s-era chain that sells cream puffs — would be the new tenant across the street at 16 St. Mark's Place, the former St. Marks Babrshop that moved around the corner (and changed names). No. 16 is now the Home Town Village Convenience Store, which moved here from next door. (All this will be on the midterm.)
Anyway!
Beard Papa's got its start in Japan in 1999, and now has 400 locations in 15 countries... and there are already several outposts in NYC. Look for a fall 2021 opening here.
They used to be on Broadway around from Aster Barbers..Yummy but small.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. The UWS one just closed.
ReplyDeleteI'm no cream puff but I ain't walking up stairs to get a cream puff!
ReplyDelete@james - i remember that one! i was just walking by that spot yesterday and thought 'didn't evgrieve say that they were opening on st marks a while back'? lo and behold - an update!
ReplyDeletemaybe now i will wish for grassroots to return and see if that works!
One stop shopping for all your cream puff and Buddha needs.
ReplyDeleteI would never think a cream puff demanded its own store but after looking at the website I wonder why there aren't more flavors for filling.
ReplyDeleteI'll second that Grassroots wish!
