Cream puffs are like post-it notes: fun to peel apart and sticky enough to adhere to coworkers' foreheads. Sample this versatile treat with today's Groupon: for $12, you get 12 original vanilla cream puffs at Beard Papa's (a $24 value), with locations in Lynnwood and Seattle.

A globally recognized sweet shop, Beard Papa's converts traditional desserts into decadent, fresh-baked, hand-labored lovables. Their all-natural cream puffs exhibit a complex, crispy outer choux pastry packed with mouth-melting, fluffy whipped-cream custard derived from imported vanilla beans and hours of diligent daydreaming. Beard Papa's doughsmiths shun preservatives in favor of all-natural and organic ingredients, which, like library books, should be devoured immediately for optimal freshness. The original vanilla recipe was crafted in Osaka, Japan before migrating across oceans, continents, and dinner menus to sate sweet teeth worldwide.
