Cruffs - House of Cream Puffs

I've checked their website once in a while and it seems as though their retail location is open.

Looks interesting, very single SKU which works for cupcakes, maybe macarons, but cream puffs?

I was walking by a few weeks ago and a girl was giving out samples. I had half of a lemon cream filled puff. The cream was a little too tart and the pastry wasn't that fresh. I wouldn't pay $2.75 for just one of these.

Looks similar to Beard Papa. Will have to try it one day!

Actually it's not like Beard Papa- this style of cream puff is popular in Indonesia. I didn't like how the filling was very thin and squirted out the end, but I was only there during their soft opening and maybe what I had wasn't perfected. I prefer the product at Beard Papa but I'm happy to give these guys another try since what they're doing is unique on this side of the pond.

Filling still squirts out of the end. Maybe by design so it can be pumped into the puff.

Dropped into Cruffs the other day. They have been open for a short while now. You select from a menu of different flavored creams and from a stainless steel container (resembles the ketchup dispensers at the Saddledome) they push the cream into the puff. I tried the vanilla cream. Flavor was very nice. I think it was $2.75 for a cream puff. Keep in mind that these aren't the large puffs from your childhood.
