ULTIMATE TASTE TEST 3.0 RATING: 3.6 out of 5.0
The story of Happy Cream Puff is very inspiring. Ever since we discovered them last December 2006, I’ve seen how they expanded from being an Alabang-based business to a Makati-based one with two branches. We should be proud of homemade ventures and entrepreneurs pursuing their dreams.
I had no doubt that they would pass the Ultimate Taste Test 3.0. Most foodies raved about them. However, some commented that it is nothing new already, but I still think that after 3 years, there are still some people who have never been introduced to Happy Cream Puff.
Their fresh preparation of the Cream Puff is something hard to beat. Our personal favorite is the eclair with a little chocolate topping. Their small Legaspi Village branch is a hit and it is like a neighborhood cafe around the business district.

The Happy Cream Puff Story
Where did it all start, this rage for rich, creamy mouthfuls of puffs that spoke tales of happiness and refined sweetness? Way back in October 2006, Happy Cream Puff started its humble beginnings..in the heart of Alabang on the Ground Level of the South Area Metropolis Mall.
After eight months or so, Happy Cream Puff spawned new flavors and became a household name among its growing fanbase. Like with all other business endeavors, successful owners Mr. and Mrs. Yamagishi had to expand its operations by delivering boxes to residences in plush villages like Ayala Alabang and other neighboring areas. Their consistent hard work and perseverance led to great success for this couple.
New ways of making things work came about. Soon, they were offered a space at SM (South Mall, Las Pinas), which lasted for two long years of constant service and hard work. In June 2009, they thought of moving to a better location and finally settled at 7224 Malugay St. corner Buendia, Brgy. Bel-Air, Makati.
Now, Happy Cream Puff has opened another branch in the heart of Makati — Castro Street cor. Dela Rosa, Legaspi Village — and it is still planning to expand in the coming years.
And to think that it all started just with moderately sweet, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth puffs… Small dreams can really turn into great possibilities.

HAPPY CREAM PUFF (LEGASPI VILLAGE)
The Legaspi branch is quite small (it can comfortably fit 10 people) and they already removed the free wifi and TV so that people don’t hang out too long. But you’ll still often find that the cafe is at full capacity during business days.
It is a good place for dessert when you are in the Rada area. Unfortunately, there are no parking spaces because it is just a corner store.

Happy Cream Puff is very near our office. 🙂 Was recently introduced to it by my office mate. At first, I had no idea what to expect but now I’m a fan of their almond confections. The place is small but a lot of people come and go there around 1PM and 4PM. 🙂
I love cream puffs. I love how each small, crisp, hollow round of choux pastry is split in half, filled with lots of sweet cream (or custard), and then dusted with a thick coating of powdered sugar. Some say the choux pastry shells look like small cabbages which is probably where the name “choux” came from as “choux” in French means “cabbage”.Besides cream puffs, the two other desserts that are quite popular are the eclair (long finger-shaped pastry that is filled with cream and glazed with chocolate) and the Profiterole. They are perfect gifts for the holidays!!!
Hey! I saw this on the top 10 Holiday Gift List on spot.ph. Now that I’ve seen this on two sites, it’s a sign that I must try this cream puff place. The Cookies by Ces Lopez also ranked on Spot.ph.
