The milk tart does not have enough flavor. Their lemon cream tart is quite subpar. The mini cheesecakes look amazing, but they are just average. If you do visit, I'd recommend the pistachio one--it was the standout of the three I sampled, with more depth than the passion fruit and earl grey ones.

Note; we went to the Sheung Wan location, not the Kowloon one…read more Ok I think this place has the best and most amazing Dan Tats in Hong Kong - at least the traditional flaky kind. They have many flavours - we tried the traditional, milk, Portuguese, and Thai milk tea varieties. They also have tons of tarts and other stuff like waffles. All of the egg tarts were amazing. The crust is so flaky - they claim it is 368 layers. The crunch is perfect. The custard is just heavenly - light yet great consistency and texture. These tarts are really heaven in a bite. As for flavours - they are all good but my favourites are the milk and the Portuguese. Definitely put this place on your list of HK places to visit!

I'm a local Bay Area native from San Jose, so suffice to say, I was really curious about Lady M when my HK cousin was raving all about it. Taste wise? The first half of the cake slice was very satisfying. However, it is a bit too rich for my taste and I find myself getting a little overwhelmed by the time I get to other half of the slice. This is the first time I've ever tried a crepe Mille cake, and I'm very interested in the concept. Lady M is definitely upper scale at about 9-10 USD per slice. My cousin and I ordered the earl gray while my mom ordered the original. I did love the ambiance and the simple, classy decor of the place as well as the bags/boxes. Hopefully, they'll bring a Lady M to the Bay Area!

Simple bakery! Please look at the side they have cakes on display!…read more Location: It is located in Central. There is no seating inside. I made a mistake cause I went straight inside the small store. I didn't see the display of cakes on the side which they also have a big store for only cakes. Service: they are super nice. They gave me recommendations and they waited for me to choose. Food: I love their pastries rather than the other bakery beside them lol CINNAMON CUSTARD TART: the crust was buttery and the egg filling was soft and creamy. It was the perfect balance. I love it also because they serve it warm. It is perfect for coffee. BROOKIE: I was actually looking for something chocolate and I found this. It was good, it reminds me of Ghirardelli brownies. Chewy and moist inside. Price rating: 8/10 price range. It is expensive but af course it's HK which is everything expensive. If I get a chance to go back to HK I will definitely go back here and get the tarts!

We went to Holly Brown at 10AM on a Saturday for coffee and one of their advertised "New York"…read morebagels. This place is huge by Hong Kong standards. Lots of seating, very open, appears to have an upstairs section for additional seating, then it is open at the door front too and kind of spills into the street. I am not certain if Holly Brown is a coffee place that sells ice cream or and ice cream shop that sells coffee. We had coffee and two breakfast sandwiches on their advertised "New York" bagels. As for the New York bagel, I don't think these bagels are in the direct lineage of a true NY bagel...maybe like a distant cousin twice removed of a NY bagel. It was OK and you could tell it was attempting to be a NY bagel, but missed the mark (not large enough, not doughy enough....with NY bagels it is all about the water used to make them!) Not sure if I could find a better NY bagel in Hong Kong, so the jury is out a bit on the bagel from Holly Brown. My breakfast sandwich was salmon, avacado and a poached egg on top of a plain bagel. Along with my regular coffee americano, something left me a bit flat about this place. The coffee was thin, no punch of flavor or fullness in the bean. My Holly Brown experience was average. Not great, not awful, not memorable, just average. My breakfast had no wow moment. I had no moment of customer service amazement. Coffe was average. Average is a 3 to me on Yelp. Maybe ice cream is really their thing and we will try that the next time. As a coffee option, I will not return.

I walked by this bakery one day and wondered what all the hubbub was. I had seen plenty of cheese…read moretarts and other cheesecake-like desserts in Japan and was curious by the popularity. The interior is rather minimalist but clean. The cheese tart was so warm and fresh that it actually was a bit of a detriment. As I was about to grasp said tart to consume, the crust crumbled very easily and warm cheese filling flowed right round the tart cup and partly onto the bar table I was standing at. What I got to eat was quite good, however. The filling is smooth and not too sweet while the crumbly crust provided some (I suppose) structure to the dessert. There isn't a strong cream cheese flavor but more of a neutral cream flavor. I was just rather disappointed that I looked like a slob as I was consuming the dispersed dessert that resembled me dropping it on the floor. Like the decor, the service is minimal. While staff is not grumpy, don't expect much of a reception here.

The cheese tart (芝士撻) really started at the Causeway Bay location (https://www.yelp.com/biz/71IB0MVMT_FI9yWG4r0UNg), which after many lines and cheese tarts sold prompted the second location to be in good ol Kowloon. TST will forever have outlets of popular fad businesses. Only I don't think cheese tarts are a fad and that I think they're here to stay. Most folks can't get enough of them, myself included, especially at this location along Cameron Road. During the day time, the hubbub is so much that this place is often a mess during peak rush hours. It's easy to see why: the tarts are cheesy, ultra savory, and come in various flavors (baked cheese, matcha green tea, chocolate, egg custard). The only thing they aren't is cheap, which at $22HKD is a good grip for a single tart. Tarts aren't the only game for baked goods at this location thankfully, an item that often gets overlooked are their individual baked cheese cakes and custom pastries. In terms of selection, they alone put this location over their sister spot in Causeway Bay. My favorite of the bunch are the Blueberry Cheesecakes (藍莓芝士蛋糕), which I caution for lactose in tolerant folks is not kind to your insides. I would suggest a Caramel Egg Pudding (焦糖雞蛋布甸) instead. Last I visited, it was cash or octopus card only. They're always well staffed (if not overstaffed) with lots of eager young ladies who are looking to offer freshly baked Japanese goods to the masses. For cheese tart fans anywhere, this is one of the better spots to slay your inner cheesy cravings.

We all scream for Hokkaido Ice Cream!!!…read more Really! We love it so much, we had these yummy Hokkaido soft serve 3 nights in a row. I Cremeria Cafe is located on the 4th floor - food court inside the Langham Place. Tip: take the express escalator to bypass the hustles of shoppers to the 3rd floor, and quickly take a short escalator ride to 4th floor and BAM, it's right there! I had Hokkaido fresh cream soft serve when I visited Japan a few years back, and I've always wanted to enjoy it again. It is not overly sweet like our very own Mr. Softie; the Hokkaido fresh cream is silky soft and has a natural sweetness. Love it so much! We've tried the soft serve in cones and cups; as well as the mix (matcha + cream). If my body allows it, I would have one everyday... alas, my metabolism just won't work with me. So 3 nights in a row was a heavenly treat!!!! #vacationweightdontcount #foodhumor LOL

The lavender ice cream signage caught our eye, but we ended up getting the vanilla ice cream topped with gold. The ice cream was really good, not too sweet or bland. Had a light vanilla flavor. You can't really taste the gold, and it really kind of melts as soon as it touches the ice cream, making for an incredible photo opp. Will for sure stop by again bc the ice cream wasn't bad, they have so much more on their menu to try too.
