Came here to try the egg tart since a friend was raving about it. The egg tart was okay. Lots of custard filling, but the tart part wasn't flaky enough. It was supposed to be the flaky crust but it was just doughy. It wasn't doughy enough to be like a cookie crust either so I was pretty let down. Overall the place was also very busy so there's nowhere to sit. read more

I haven't been to this bakery for years ever since the incident in one of their store "forgetting" my order. I have not been back here since the pandemic but stumbled upon here to give it another shot. I don't know why I always do this because I get disappointed every single time. This time was no exception. The first sign of disappointment was their lack of selection. I came here at 2:30pm so it was not remotely close to closing time but their shelves and glass case were very empty. I understand if this was near their closing time but this was not the case. I don't think they bake their breads on their premises but get it delivered from one main location or a commercial kitchen somewhere. They also downsized their menu by a lot which to me makes their bakery less appealing. The second major disappointment I had was they shrunk their size of the buns. The buns they serve on their pans were now halved in size but cost $3.75. The only upside about it was the buns were very tasty. I got the coconut buns in a pan and they were very good. If I had to rate it, I would give this a 7.5 out of 10. They still had their Portuguese tarts. The custard part was way too sweet and too mushy and watery from what I remember but after the disappointments, I didn't even want to give those a second try. I did see them put a sign up to explain the price increase as due to the rising cost of eggs. Even if that was the case, the first disappointment of lack of food in store during business hours still stands. While the buns were yummy, the cost did not justify it for me. I will go to other bakeries from now on. read more

Best coffee I've had in my life...smooth, rich, and perfectly done. The pork buns are out of this world, and the almond tea? Absolutely insane. Just discovered it and I'm already hooked. And once you go a few times, they 100% remember you and get your order going before you can even ask. read more

Went to lily bloom bakery love their Thai tea and pineapple pork bun they alas have mango sago drink and cheesecake

I'd rate Lily Bloom four and a half stars. I've been looking for a new go to egg tart spot since New Flushing Bakery closed. Lily Bloom is a small yet well regarded chain in NYC. Bakery has lots of to go classics, bubble tea, and (of course) egg tarts. I had the Portuguese egg tart. It's a bigger tart with generous amount of sweet custard filling. A nice sear and it was served hot. The filling was one of the best that I've had. It's a hefty amount that might sep into the crust a little making it soft and greasy. It was busy but service was quick. Takeout only. read more

The baked food from this bakery is pretty good compared to many other Chinese bakery stores. I got the coconut bun too. Very flavorful. 8/10 Pineapple bun- 8/10 Pastry 老婆饼-7/10 read more

Bakery generally good. Drinks are pretty good too. Sometimes the front desk is a bit rushed/inpatient but that's pretty typical of a Chinese bakery. read more

Egg tarts are rich and creamy. Very yummy. Bit on the pricey side but ok to treat yourself once in a while.

My to go spot for awesome cup of coffee. The service is awesome Bibi and all the girls are always super nice and pleasant. Love their pastries, super busy during the morning. Very welcoming ambiance not like other Asian bakeries. read more

I come here often to buy some bread. You get a tray and tell the worker which kind of breads you want. She will put it on the tray for you and then you can go to the front desk to pay. In my opinion, the prices are reasonable for the quality. This place does get pretty busy, which I don't mind waiting in since I always come here for their breads. Today, I came for their milk tea for breakfast. read more

This Bay Ridge bakery offers excellent Portuguese Egg Tarts and a variety of Chinese pastries. The staff is courteous, the environment is clean, and there is limited seating available at the front. Additional seating in the back would be beneficial. Highly recommended for anyone near 5th Avenue and 86th Street in Brooklyn. read more

Lily Bloom Bakery is definitely one of the most popular bakeries in NYC among Cantonese group and their signature egg tart is a must-try. It's owned by the same owner of Xin Fa Bakery, which we visited a while ago. The decor is bright, clean and modern with proper safety procedure during the pandemic. The options were not in a great variety but pretty decent and we had 2 pastries and a box of egg tarts. The egg tarts were delicious and it's filling was super creamy & soft like the sweet version of steamed egg with thin & crispy layer. However, the 2 pastries we got weren't good, plain with fragile texture. We might visit again if we are in the neighborhood but only for the egg tarts. The best thing is they accept credit card with no minimum. read more

Best Pouh taat in Brooklyn I must say. The lady at counter is very pleasant and right away she asked how many of these Portueguese egg tarts I will take to go. Bought half dozen, each egg tart is very creamy, dense and lightly sweetened. It was served piping hot and fresh. Much better than the ones in Flushing, a cheap and filling snack for you gals out there!! read more

This place has great dessert. They have decently priced bubble tea (compared to Bing Ling tea nearby) that tastes just perfect, and $1.50 baked pork buns that are perfectly sweet inside. I love the lime coconut dessert and apparently so does my dog. It tastes like a pudding or creamy cheese cake. I'd love to try more of their treats next time I'm PMSing. It's a really good thing my gym's close by... read more

I really love this bakeries unique selections of pastries and desserts! Albeit it's a bit more expensive than smaller bakeries around 8th avenue, the quality of its pastries and desserts are definitely better and more varied than your typical Chinese bakery selections; it's basically like a high end Chinese bakery, comparable to Korean bakeries like Paris Baguette. Definitely give this place a try and I promise you'll be surprised by their delicious looking and tasting selections! Thank you for reading and good luck (: read more

If you come here for the egg tarts, know that there won't be any if you come too early as in 8:15 AM... I love cheap Asian bakery. This fit just that with a wide variety of drink selection. I'm sure that this place and the Xin Fa in 8th Ave that are trending on TikTok is actually one. But this one does have a bit less bread selection (I really truly adore the taro over in Xin Fa, which this one doesn't carry). A very solid spot. read more

I am so glad that this bakery came back after quarantine. Their Portuguese egg tarts have always been the best. They have classic Chinese buns as well as some more exotic choices ie taro sponge cakes. Their bubble tea drinks are also reasonably priced and the service is always friendly. Just the other day they even left me a nice note in my bag of buns. I always leave feeling good about my purchases and I am glad to support them during this time. read more

Our friend brought us half dozen Portuguese eggs tarts all the way to Queens. Omg, how is SHE so sweet to carry it over 2hrs on the public transportation to Queens. She endured crowded train and bus ride and arrived beautifully in a non crushed state. We lightly heat it up in our toaster oven. Super yummy even for the next morning. read more

My go-to! All of their buns are delicious! I used to get breakfast here for under $3 (bun and a small hot drink) everyday pre-covid. Don't sleep on their Portuguese egg tarts, they are probably known for this. Super flaky crust, creamy custard, huge and 6 for $9! read more

This has been by far my most favorite bakery. They introduced me to assortment of Asian delicacies, and pastries.

I was in the area for dinner and passed by Lily Bloom. I decided to go in and ask if there were egg tarts left as I know the Lily Bloom on 86th street are known for their egg tarts. Unfortunately, they were sold out. I looked around the cafe and saw that they have rose milk tea, something that's different from other Chinese bakeries. I decided to give it a go because a large is only $2.50. As much as I wanted to like it, I really couldn't because I know exactly the rose milk tea bags they are using. And I have a box left at home because I can't stand how fruity it is. They're using the '3:15pm' Rose Fruity Milk Tea. They might've added in some sugar, but it's not that good if you expected some good rose milk tea. A box of these is probably around the same price as 1-2 cups of these here. Not worth it when I can make it myself at home. They also added a few rose buds/petals on top of the milk tea. It's a bad idea because it just gets in the way of drink the milk tea itself. You end up having rose petals in your mouth and you don't know what to do with it. The decor and cafe itself are really cute, especially compared to their other location. They have innovative desserts and bread. This location seems to be catered more towards the younger generations and reminds me of Korean cafes. They offer free wifi and tons of comfortable seating in the back. I'll come back for their egg tarts and maybe try their food, but not for their rose milk tea. read more

Lily Bloom Bakery has a great assortment of cakes, puddings, tarts, bread, baos, and more. I liked the precaution they took to keep extra safe, by having the employee will grab whatever bread, tarts, etc you would like from the cases themselves. They also have an assortment of teas, coffees, and smoothies! Saw some Hong Kong classics. My family's favorite thing to get is their Portuguese tarts. They even have a guide to how long different pastries last and how to eat them at their best! It's pretty big and has a great ratio between the sweet custard and the flaky buttery crust. read more

Lily Bloom Bakery is located on a pretty busy street in Bay Ridge and street parking is fairly difficult to find. The store has changed their layout because of COVID-19. Instead of grabbing the items that you want off the shelves, now you have to tell the employees what you want and they'll bag and prepare it for you. I come here for their egg tarts, but there are other Chinese pastries and baked goods available. I came during the middle of the day and to my surprise, the egg tarts were very fresh and warm. They're reasonably priced too: I bought 6 for $9. The crust is similar to other Chinese egg tarts and it's flaky and light. What sets this bakery's egg tarts apart though is that they have a lot of custard in them. If you're a fan of denser egg tarts, you have to try the ones at Lily Bloom Bakery! read more

"Grand Opening Sale: 15% off" the sign caught my attention. I have a Lily Bloom Bakery near my house. When my friend told me they opened one near her, I was intrigued. I went in and the woman with the clamp came up to me "how can I help you?" in Cantonese. Now, I quickly scan the baked goods section and I pointed to the tarts. I asked in English "how much?" She gave me the perplex look. Then, I said "$1.25?" Then, she proceeded to look through her cards with the prices. When I asked for 3 of them, she put them in these wax paper bags. I, then, asked how many do I have to buy to put it in a box? She told me "6." I ended up buying 3 for $3.19 which included the 15% discount. I love how clean this facility​ looks. The server and cashier were very friendly and welcoming. I would love to get this kind of service from the 86th Street and Bay Parkway location. The Portuguese​ tarts were warm and creamy. My friends and I enjoyed them with Starbucks coffee which I picked it up on the way. read more

Place is clean and the egg tarts were so good I couldn't believe it. And piping hot to boot. Go try em trust me they're worth the trip.

Love their egg tarts, but it would be more perfect if the crust is more crisper! I called earlier to request for dozen and just picked them up. The staff was very nice. read more

Outrageously good egg tarts ($1.25). These might be the best in NYC. So good, that its best to call them up and pre-order, otherwise they may have already sold out. These are the biggest egg tarts I've ever seen. And filled with a really generous amount of filling. Nice and creamy center. The shell is not as flaky as I would prefer, but the flavorful and generous filling makes up for it. Most people say its best eaten hot, but I actually prefer eating it cold or the next day, after the filling has time to solidify and become more flavorful. I find the fresh hot out of the oven ones to be too light in flavor and the filling too liquidy. But to each, their own preference. This chinese bakery has the usual large variety of different buns and cakes but I've only tried the egg tarts and they are amazing. Come here and get these! Order a whole bunch because you will be craving them later. Share with friends! Actually you may not want to share after tasting how good they are. lol. I just can't say enough good things about these egg tarts! Final note: The bakery is usually jam packed with people during popular hours, so it can be a bit crazy in there. Get in line and don't be shy about ordering. When you pick up your order, keep in mind how many boxes you should be receiving. Make sure this is your order. One box contains 6 tarts. Last time I went, Its so hectic in there that they gave me someone else's order and I ended up getting one box less. :( Also don't be too late picking up your tarts, otherwise they will sell them off to someone else. There are plenty takers. Me! Me! read more

It was a high tea time, and I cannot resist not to order egg tarts, but his place only have Portuguese egg tarts. However, it was surprisingly good and very affordable. They also have other wonderful bakery that I wanted to try next time, but the egg tarts were on the spot. It is a must try spot if you in the area. read more

Lily bloom is a great spot for chinese bakery goods. I love that they have joong or the sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. It's so good! When I buy it and it happens to still be warm, I'm tempted to just open it and bite into it. People generally come in for the Portuguese egg tarts because Lily Bloom does not make regular egg tarts. However, their Portuguese egg tarts are definitely worth the hype. I've heard that people generally have to place an order for 6 otherwise the Portuguese egg tarts gets sold out before they can buy it. However, that's not always the case. If you buy a Portuguese egg tart and it's cold, bring it home to bake in the oven for a little bit and it will be worth it. It's a strong egg and butter taste and tastes way better hot than it does cold. People also come here for the mango pomelo sago in a light bulb container. It's not as good as some dessert places, but it holds its own. I do enjoy it though. read more

Three word: Portuguese Egg Tart!!!! (or po tat in Cantonese) I am a die hard fan of this! It is sweet, creamy and custardy. That is their signature item and it is always fresh and warm right out of the oven! I like that you don't need to preorder them like you have to preorder from Xin Fa bakery. It is only $1.50! This is my all time of favorite of cheap eats. I came here numerous of times and their quality and consistency is the same every time. You will not regret getting the Portuguese egg tart! read more
