When reader and friend of the blog, NP, tipped me off that Beard Papa's in Santa Ana's MainPlace Mall closed up, my heart sank. He writes, “the Beard Papa's in Main Place is now closed! Unless they moved somewhere I couldn't see… The location was boarded up with Westfield signage.”
This after we voted them “Best Dessert” in our recent Best of 2008 Issue.
So I went and checked the vitals on the other location, inside Costa Mesa's Marukai Market. And I'm relieved to say that it's still in business.
Phew!
So, I still have a place to occasionally indulge on the dessert that will surely do other things to my own vital signs someday.
