No frills hole in the wall spot for a little snack! I love a good egg, waffle, and even though this isn't the best egg waffle I've ever had it hits the spot and she has a lot of flavors to choose from! I tried a savory option and got half cheddar half salted egg yolk, which was seven dollars. Flavor is wise. It was decent, but I felt that the waffle been cooked longer to make it crispy. Keep in mind this place is cash only! Overall, I would be back, it's a great spot for a fast and easy snack Food: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: N/A (no seating) read more

Egg Puffs - Half salted egg yolk half cheddar - Waffles Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A Boston Chinatown classic! My husband has been coming here since he was a kid, and one of our favorite things to do when we're downtown is to make a stop here to pick up some fresh egg puffs. For under $5, you get a delicately sweet bite with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. I've had a lot of egg puffs since they started trending recently, and I think the ones here are particularly well-made and comforting. It takes a little time for the lady to make the egg puffs fresh (~5-8 min), but it's well worth it. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Egg Puffs - Waffles Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This spot is a Chinatown staple, and I remember coming here even as a kid. So happy to see the lady is still creating her yummy egg puffs. It's located in the back of a food court, so while it seems unassuming at first, it's worth searching for. She's added a lot of flavors over the years, so the prices range between $4.50- $7 now (a tad expensive for what it is, but they're handmade). Also, it's cash-only. I highly recommend their original flavor, but if you're feeling experimental, their matcha & red bean ones are great too :) read more

CASH ONLY, ranges from $4-$7, but the best hidden gem in Chinatown for a quick sweet treat! It's always made-to-order! So expect a little wait for fresh goodies. Looks like they added new flavors but I couldn't resist the original. It's just so good, lightly sweet, fluffy with a little bit of crisp on the outside. Actually regretted not getting more than just 1, because once I walked out the door, it was gone. (All in my belly hehe) read more

Cute little egg puff stand in a small food court. The prices range from $4-$8 for egg puff waffles. The lady only takes cash. It was a lot of fun watching her create the egg puffs and they are really tasty. If you want a dessert that isn't too sweet or a snack, I highly recommend coming here. There may be a wait because people also love her egg puffs too! read more

She is quite dedicated to her craft! There's such a precision and beauty to the way she is making these egg puffs. The batter is perfectly distributed, it is cooked to perfection in a unique way, and the fillings are meticulously added (we got blueberry on one and chocolate on the other). This is really fun to eat because you can break off individual puffs one at a time. It's like a waffle, but better! Lots of possible fillings. I think my favorite was the blueberry. read more

visited the egg puff lady the other day! her stall was at the back of a food court but there's a sign outside with her logo so it was easy to find! the egg puff was really nice! i tried it warm but it was still a little doughy so i waited a few mins and it tasted way better! i def recommend it wasn't too sweet either read more

Get your freshly made waffles here: The hole-in-the-wall location can be tricky to find. In the heart of Chinatown, Boston, you'll find the Egg Puffs cart in the tiny cafeteria. Regardless, it's a MUST VISIT spot for dessert! For $3.50 each (with other flavors for different prices), you'll be paying for a giant waffle cooked on the spot. Tear them into bites and share with friends. Or, as I did, shove the whole thing in your mouth like a T-Rex. I'm personally not too heavy on sweets, so the egg puffs were enough to satisfy the craving. Not too sweet, freshly cooked, and not soggy whatsoever. You'll be surrounded by other pastry shops in the area that package their goods. I do suggest supporting the Egg Puffs cart for a warm and toasty dessert! Please help out local businesses during this time. These heavenly creations deserved to be discovered and loved. Plus, it'll help our local community grow! read more

The OG place for some good egg puffs. Classic flavour is the way to go. She has been here for year and doles them out pretty quick for made to order. It's the cart all the way in the back and she takes her time with each order. Cash only. read more

Love this little way back-in-the-already-tiny-and-narrow-food-court (corridor is more accurate) egg puff stand. Prices are quite reasonable - especially for Boston. $4 egg puff as a base before any fillings. Personally have enjoyed the Nutella and salted egg versions - both were great. Warm, soft, chewy with a savory and sweet combo that just hits. It's not overwhelmingly heavy and the lightness makes a great dessert to eat while you walk around Chinatown - works even better with some boba next door. Good filling pastry for a great price and made by a sweet, hard-working lady in a tiny stall - what's not to like? read more

Egg Puffs - Menu - Waffles Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Getting egg waffles was one of those spur of the moment decisions and I was not disappointed! I actually couldn't find this place at first because it wasn't a stand-alone store - it's actually just a small cart inside a place called the "Food Court". I expected the food court to be big with ample seating, but instead it was really cramped with very few seating options. Nonetheless, that did not stop me from waiting the 5 or so minutes for the lady to make me some fresh egg waffles. They came out great! They were well cooked on the outside, yet super moist and soft on the inside. There is also something immensely satisfying about prying apart each individual ball and popping them in your mouth. I don't know if it's because of COVID specifically, but there is a really tall, transparent divider separating the customer from the cooking area (see photo). Even without taking into account COVID, I'm glad that they use a separate for general hygiene purposes. The minor downside is that (like many other establishments in Chinatown), it is cash only. Either way, it was $3.50 well spent! read more

** Cash only Egg Puffs is a hole in the wall located inside a mall in Chinatown. They have several different flavors, pretty unique flavors. We got the classic flavor and thought it was just okay..

In Cantonese, it's pronounced "gai dahn jai," literally meaning little chicken eggs! One of the oldest food I've eaten in Chinatown - 20 years! There is no place in Chinatown that makes its egg puffs as good as this little cart shop! To find this cart: When you walk up the steps to the brick building, walk through the double glass doors and keep going straight until you hit a dead end. That's where the cart is parked! The egg puffs have a specific sweet and egg taste. They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The person there does make some and leave them out to make more, so ironically, you'd want to come during a time when there are some people lining up before you. Then you can get the ones that are just baked! :) The egg puffs are $3.50 a bag, cash only. read more

Super cheap and delicious egg puffs! I got the red bean egg puff and the coconut egg puff, both were quite light and fluffy-- would highly recommend a flavored egg puff! With that being said, it would have been delicious with a dipping sauce. Additionally, it was pretty slow so I would build in ~5 minutes per egg puff you order because they have to cook them individually. A quick note: the cart with the puffs are at the back of a room in the food court, you should see it right when you walk int. Also, the hours on Yelp are inaccurate, they appear to be open until 8:00pm each day 7 days a week. read more

Egg Puffs - Egg puffs - hot off the press - Waffles Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Even though I was well stuffed after a long walk and a big plate of sushi, I was enticed and wondered "What is an egg puff?" with this stall at the end of Avana Sushi. So after I finished my dinner, I ordered a fresh egg puff and ate it as I walked back to my apartment. DELICIOUS! For $3.50 (cash), you're getting about an eight inch square of what is probably the Asian equivalent of a waffle. Individual bite sized bits that are just a little bit doughy and just a little bit sweet. Tear 'em off and eat them as you go. I think these would go well on a plate with a sweet topping. You'd need a knife and fork, but perhaps some Nutella or a raspberry jam, or even just simple maple syrup. Yes, please! And thank you, Egg Puff lady! read more

I went there again recently. Although I'm not a fan of the location, I think it's a really nice place to stop for desert. The egg puffs are great. I tried the coffee and raisin flavors this time. The service is somewhat quick and the lady is done in about 5 minutes. However, the place is quite rowdy because of the other restaurants there. read more

A small place to visit in Chinatown at Boston. After seeing several ads on videos about this place , I thought it was worth to try this. The taste was normal and similar to the pancakes. Not much of flavor that gets me excited. We ordered chocolate puffs and it was enough chocolate to taste. The service was little bit slow , however, they wanted to make sure that it's cooked properly. I don't think that we would come back for second time. read more

Super low frills Chinatown establishment in the back of a small food court where you can grab a small bag of egg waffles from the lady in the back after you hand over a few bucks for some hot off the oven egg waffles. You can choose various flavors for a little bit more cash. I haven't tried the other flavors yet because I am purist but you can't go wrong with original. Always worth a visit if I want a sweet, warm dessert to munch on when I walk around Boston on a chilly (and non-chilly) day. IG: Feastcoastoffense read more

This Egg Puff stand brings back childhood memories...the granny who may have now retired from the cart had actually started selling these egg puffs in this same building lobby (pre-renovation) in the 2000s before taking a long break and returning in this tiny food court. I'm a big fan of this convenient street food snack, which is essentially a waffle molded in bite-sized puffs. Every egg puff vendor will have its own recipe and having tried some popular egg puff stands in Hong Kong, where this snack originated, I have to say this one is my favorite with its soft buttermilk flavor. Perhaps it suits my American palette but compared to the one's in Asia which are usually crispier and airier - these do resemble an American-style Buttermilk pancake. In addition to the original flavor, they now offer some special flavors like chocolate, blueberry, cheese, sesame, etc. You can even purchase a small tub of the batter if you'd like to make a fresh batch at home yourself. Be prepared for a short wait if there's any customers in front of you. Cash only. read more

Nothing better than stopping by the egg puff lady!! Always so tasty and very worth the wait

it's great that there's an egg waffle place in boston, since there aren't many other places where you can get a freshly made one. - notes - only cash payments are accepted! - location - this place is also named "bubble waffle lady" on google maps if you're trying to navigate. this stand is inside a small food mall; all you have to do is walk to the very end of the hall! - overall experience - we came on a wednesday late afternoon and there wasn't a line! however, the line quickly started to pick up at around 5:15 pm. since there's not much space inside for standing, it can get kind of crowded if there are multiple people waiting. i went with two other friends and it took around 30-40 minutes for our bubble waffles to be made since our orders would only be taken once the preceding waffle was made. there were two bubble waffle pans but for some reason, she was only using one of the pans, which is probably why it took a long time. 2/23/22 -original egg puff waffle: even though there are many flavors to try from i decided to just go with the original. the waffle was given to me fresh, soft, and warm! it wasn't too sweet, but i also think that it was more bland compared to some of the bubble waffles i've had in the past. the size is relatively large and as big as your typical egg waffle, so you can probably share it with someone else if you're not too hungry. for $4, i really think that it's fairly priced. while i wouldn't get it again, i'm still glad that i gave it a try!

Yum yum yum! These are a super nostalgic food for growing up in New York and getting these from the street carts. I have not been able to find one that replicates them as they did back then. This place was a bit hard to find initially but you head into the food court (fairly small), her stall is all the way in the back. She makes them fresh on the spot once you order so it can take a bit but the wait is worth it. Not too sweet, enough vanilla and egg flavor, soft and chewy. Just as a remembered them growing up. read more

I had an egg waffle with red bean filling. The filling was not refreshed made and probably spoiled. I ended up going to the ER after having those because of food poisoning.

Like me. Egg Puffs are a popular dessert in East Asia, and you'll see why as soon as you put them in your mouth. It's like eating a hot, fresh waffle, only much better. They don't really taste like eggs, but they're puffy enough to make up for that oversight. They're a little hard to come by in North America, with the odd street seller in Chinatown NYC having them, but not much else in the North East. However this tiny little stand at the back of a tiny little Asian food mall in the tiny little winding streets of Boston's excellent and thrilling Chinatown, is exactly what the Egg Puff Doctor ordered. If you've never had an Egg Puff and happen to be wandering the streets of Boston, you simply must come here, and try some. They may even make you rap. And even if you order a whole ton... within a few seconds... Puff! They'll be all gone. And you'll end up with egg on your face. read more

Great hole-in-the-wall spot! $3.50 for an original egg puff and there are other toppings that you can get. It was really freshly made and fun to eat.

I rather like this inconspicuous little egg puff cart right in the middle of Avana Sushi. An older lady sits behind the cart reading Chinese newspapers, but she's friendly enough when customers come in. I do wish the egg tarts were freshly made to order instead of premade and sitting heated in the pan, but that did little to dampen the flavor and texture of these convenient little desserts. One order of egg puffs: (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/egg-puffs-boston?select=srpC5CtHlZefhepPGT_rPQ#bungRcHlWmgCUeELdbXc7A) For $2.75, the portion is actually quite generous, especially compared to some other places. The exterior is slightly crunchy while the interior is soft and cakey. I agree with some of the other reviewers who mentioned that the inside would be perfect if it were just a little airier, but the cakey texture is filling and quite soft. It's not overly sweet, and I enjoyed tearing apart the little ovals of egginess bit by bit. I wish there had been a good coffee shop nearby because these would have been perfect with black coffee or breakfast tea. read more

2.5 stars really, bc "i've had better". not that these little eggies are not "good" in their own way, it's just not the way I've always had in Hong Kong. the really good ones are crunchy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. these ones....are just like cakes, soft all the way. it's flavorful and not bad if you eat it like cake. i was just hoping it would have the right texture to feed the palate, and the nostalgia. i don't blame them for not doing it "right"; maybe some things have to change once they made it all the way across the seas. i've gotten close to it by a street vendor in nyc years ago, except that they chopped up the whole big plate of eggy goodness and left all the crunchy goodie in the pan. the one in Montreal ctown was much worse, so i'm really not complaining about this one. read more

This is my favoriteeee place for egg puffs. This egg puff cart is inside a food court, all the way at the end. Best egg puff ive had! Comparable to the ones in Hong Kong! Although it's good, it has to be fresh out of the waffle maker. She sometimes keep a few them warm, but it gets cold quick. Once its cold, its not good. the lady leaves 2-3 ready to eat egg puffs out and sell it instead of making it fresh (understandable, shes a 1 man team). But freshly made ones are soooooooooo much better. read more

Always a cheap delicious snack! read more
