I love Chinese bakeries ! And this one is a great one everything is reasonably priced and delicious! They have so many interesting buns and cakes for you to try you could get something different every day. My favorite thing is the Taro ball from what I have tried so far it is such a unique ingredient and has a wonderful flavor. They also have a beautiful selection of cakes that are all decorated in a way that a lot of places in the area are not doing so it makes this place stand out, it is definitely a nice addendum to the neighborhood. They have seating in the back and a few seats in the from but my only complaint is they always have it closed off for some reason so I can't wait until they decide to open It up it would be nice to be able to sit down and enjoy my treat and drink there... UPDATE THE SEATING AREA HAS BEEN OPENED AND IT IS LOVELY ! read more

No frills bakery with awesome egg tarts! Their buns are a bit fancier than your usual Chinese bakery and it's also reflected on the price. They are definitely known for their Portuguese egg tarts and people flock to their store to buy them by the dozens. It is definitely the most soft and fluffy egg tarts I've ever had. They keep and reheat pretty well in the toaster oven so makes buying a dozen easier and less guilty. Unless you want to eat a dozen at once. I also like their Philippino bread which comes in a bigger round tin foil. The only thing I don't like is their teas and coffee are on the lighter side of sweetness and they charge for extra sugar. read more

I love Chinese bakery treats the way a fat kid loves cake. Opening a Lily Bloom by 86th Street is not only delightful to me, but super convenient instead of making the trek to 8th Avenue every time I have a craving. Portuguese egg custard cups - that's all you need to know. I was served these little tarts warm right from the oven, and they really cause you to have an enlightened outlook on life. They are light and satisfying; guaranteed that you can't just have one! The space is small, but serves its purpose. Very clean and beautifully decorated, it's very inviting. Tons of tea options and other drinks to quench your thirst after a savory treat. Make sure you are firm in your spot in line, because there will be at least one person skipping ahead of you, thinking you don't know what you're ordering. ::cough cough:: get behind me! I'm more Chinese than you think! Lily Bloom, you're my newest excuse for something sweet! read more

Love love love the Portuguese egg tarts from here!! Reasonably priced and so so good. Always grab 1-2 dozen when am in Brooklyn. Nice and creamy and flaky comes out nice and hot. read more

As others have mentioned, the Portuguese egg custards here are yum. Parking in the area sucks, as it does in almost all of Bay Ridge. Prices are fine, and they're pretty COVID compliant. read more

Okay, hands down one of the best Portuguese egg tarts I had. I was super surprised by how big they were, for some reason I thought they will be kinda tiny. They had crispy and flaky crusts and soft and silky custard. I can't wait to get my hands on them again soon. I'm just drooling and dreaming about them while trying to write this review read more

Fantastic fresh pastries and plenty to choose from. Highly recommend this immaculate establishment! A must go to visit and try their teas as well. read more

Potats (Portuguese tarts) are the best here! The first time I tried it was from this place and then I went to Long Island to try another bake shop and it's just not as good as this bake shop. I tried another thing from here and it was okay. But the potats def get the potats!!! read more

Upon entering you are greeted by a "pastry hostess" that guides you to the wonderful variety of Asian baked goodies. From whole cakes, individually sliced cakes, pastries, cookies and a selection of hot and cold beverages including bubble teas. They also provide seats towards the back where you can enjoy your delectable goodies. This was almost a one year wait and it was well worth it. YUMMY!!!!! FYI Grand Opening Special 15% off your entire purchase. read more

the best Chinese bakery in Brooklyn and probably all of New York City. Their egg tarts are as good as anything you will find in Hong Kong or Portugal. The scallion buns are fantastic. Definitely worth going out of your way to stop by. read more

Bought egg tarts from here. They were fresh (still warm) when I picked them up. There's a lot of custard in them - the custard is super smooth and not extremely sweet but tasty. The outer crust is light and airy. I usually prefer the filling of egg tarts so I love the way this bakery makes them. :) read more

Love the Portuguese egg tarts here! They are so delicious. I recommend coming here and getting a few to try. Even better, pop them in the oven to reheat if you can't eat them right away. This is my guilty pleasure and it's always a nice treat. The service here is pretty good too. This is the same spot, but under a different name on 8th ave. read more

Horrible costumer service. I called to ask if they make fruit cakes. They said yes. It was super hot that day I went all the way there with a little kid - they said no they don't make it - they only have whatever they have on display. I said well you do have other kind of cakes as well. I had to pull up Yelp account to show them that they have other cakes. At that point - I felt like they don't care they acted as of I bother them and they want to get rid of me real fast. I wanted to order a few cakes for a bday party - but this kind of attitude is just a turn off. I guess they make more money on selling teas and coffee. And clearly staff don't know what they have and what they can make. If I was the owner I would either train them properly, or hire someone else. Someone who perhaps speaks English and can understand what customer is saying. Not one dollar I will ever spend in that store. read more

as close to a perfect cafe for someone who likes working at a cafe as I can imagine. lovely decor, wood tables, sofa and cushions. plenty of seating in the back of the cafe. their baked goods are amazing and cheap. freshly baked everyday. must try their bag of coconut cookies! beverages are so so. low level cafe music on play. pretty lighting. good WiFi. friendly and helpful staff. read more

The egg tarts here are out of this world. So delicious and baked fresh on phone order. I am so obsessed!!

Lily Bloom Bakery I loved it. Pleasant atmosphere. Everything that I have tried was really great and I would return to have it again! Bonus that their service is so fantastic, they are so quick and pleasant. Lily Bloom Bakery, If you haven't been here before, you're certainly missing out. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! Come by here cause I heard their egg tarts are amazing and guess what, they really are!! They are $1.25 each and are pretty big. The dough is chewy yet soft and flaky. The custard is not overly sweet. They taste good warm or cold. When I came during the late afternoon, they had 4 fresh ones out the oven and the rest were from the display area. When you walk in, you're greeted by one of the ladies that work there. Basically tell them what you want and she will package them for you and bring it to cashier. Don't want to share about the egg tarts here so that they don't sell out quickly, but definitely try it out! read more

Must get the Portuguese egg tarts here and the coconut tarts. Those are the go-to's and baked fresh hourly it seems. I'm not a big fan of the buns here because I find that their bread is not as soft as other places. However, the tarts are good enough to make me not care about the other stuff. This place seems to get a good bit of foot traffic and the prices are very reasonable. read more

I love going in there and finding a roast pork bun or hot dog bun for a snack, but every time I go in there, the fire alarm is constantly chirping. I've gone in three times in the past few months, and every time, chirp chirp chirp. I don't know how the workers stand it, honestly. Anyway, I had occasion to sit in their lovely back seating area and enjoy my treats, chirping the entire time. So...please get that fixed? If you do, it'll definitely be a 4-5 star experience. read more

The coffee here is pretty good and their teas as well. Staff is friendly and their is always someone willing to help. They have a prepackaged bakery on one side and fresh baked goods, hot and cold, on the other side. The cookies that they sell as very good! Their pastries, the first two times I had purchased them, they were not fresh but taste subpar/good. Their cheesecakes do taste creamy and fresh when I did have them. The establishment does have a seating area BUT if you have a stroller, good luck. Aside from the slope to the entrance, that is where the stroller friendliness stops. Since I couldn't lift a whole stroller on my own up the three or four steps, I opted to grab my coffee and go to the bagel shop to nab something to eat. Do try their goodies! It is totally worth it and the prices are just right! read more

So happy to be living close to this place! Egg tarts, scallion buns, everything I need is here.

Xin Fa is currently closed for renovations, so we were told to order their infamous egg tarts from one of their sister bakeries. We've never tried their egg tarts, so we blindly ordered two dozen egg tarts to pick up in advance. We didn't realize that they only served the Portuguese egg tarts, as opposed to the traditional Hong Kong egg tart. When we arrived, we took a look at their other offerings. The bakery is clean, sleek, modern and their fresh baked pastries are displayed self-serve style behind glass cabinets. We decided to pick up their coconut custard bun, coconut tart, lo mai chi (chinese style mochi with toasted coconut and peanut filling), roast pork buns and ham sui gok. When we received the egg tarts, they were still warm out of the oven - we quickly realized that this was probably the worst time to sample one. The tart had a consistency of soft scrambled eggs and the pastry shell was too soft. When the tarts had a chance to cool down, the custard was more well-developed and velvety. The shell was okay, I prefer layers of flaky pastry in a traditional Hong Kong egg tart. In addition, the bakes on the tarts were very inconsistent across the 24 that we ordered, some were very pale in color, while other tarts had a very dark topping. However, the other pastry items we sampled were DELICIOUS! The lo mai chi was so soft and chewy, and it was my favorite. We really loved everything else we sampled - the buns were soft and chewy with fantastic flavors, and the ham sui gok was crispy and greasy on the outside with that wonderful meat filling on the inside. I will definitely come back for their pastries the next time I'm in Brooklyn! read more

Their egg tarts are really good. I mainly come for the egg tarts but they do have a nice selection of other baked goods and desserts.

I'm not thrilled with this bakery. I went there recently after work during the week to pick up Portuguese egg tarts (to which they're known for) and they were sold out. The lady at the counter told me they aren't available until after noon time so this place isn't good for anyone who works an 8-5 job. What place does that for an item they are famous for? I wish they had the egg tarts available before 8 AM because I'd grab at least 2 boxes. This place isn't worth checking out even if their egg tarts are "amazing". I just wish there were other bakeries that offered Portuguese egg tarts that taste as good. read more

My whole office is obsessed with the egg tarts from this place, and for good reason. They're amazing and filled with sweet egg custard. They're best when microwaved for 10-15 seconds so they're warm! They're even just as delicious the next day if you refrigerate them overnight and microwave them. I will definitely be trying more of their items, but the egg tarts are just so good that I had to write a review on them alone! read more

Came here one day because Xin Fa wasn't taking my calls for my usual order of egg tarts. They're sister bakeries so the quality is the same. The space here is more modern though. There is seating in the back area where you could probably stay a while and put some work in. I didn't stay long enough so I can't say how good the WiFi is. There was a nice clean bathroom though. read more

Best egg tarts In New York! Also my favorite version of gai zai beng (chicken biscuit?) is found here. Its like a hard crunchy chewy cookie instead of the soft flaky pastry my mom usually gets. Its a clean location, love their other usual selections you'd find in a Chinese bakery. So happy its in the neighborhood. read more

Drinks and all the bakeries were delicious. Very good price as well. We went there and received excellent service

There are no Chinese bakeries in the BR area so I was happy when this place opened. It's definitely a fancier bakery than your average Chinese bakery but to be honest, I do like their buns. It's not as sticky and sweet compare to the traditional ones. I was surprised that they even sold sticky rice wrapped in lotus leaf. Their cakes look yummy too. This is definitely my go to spot whenever I need by Chinese bakery fix and when I'm too lazy to go to Chinatown. read more

My wife hip'd me to this place. Pastries are light and not overly sweet,soft and fresh. I plan on making several trips just to try everything. This is not your ordinary bakery this is so much better. I hope that they open a little earlier for us early birds who want a special treat in the AM. Thanks for coming to Bay Ridge. read more

This is one of the more modern Chinese bakery in brooklyn and they have many locations, my sister is a big fan of their egg tarts but it is a hit or miss for me. They have fresh egg tarts in the back if you ask for it but if you just buy it off the shelf and it's been there a few hours ... it is just bad. What's funny is cause just when I purchased 3 they decide to take out a batch of fresh ones and if they really know how to do customer service well they would have just ordered to sell us the fresh ones. Good thing we were hungry and decided to take a bite out of one, it was so bad and gooey not in a good way I was tempted to throw it out. My sister decided to ask if they can jsut swap the other that we bought for the fresh ones that came out. Luckily they said okay, if they had said no even though we were standing right in front of them I probably would have never came back. They have japanese cheesecake and different flavored rolls. The service here is better than that in Bensonhurst. I would continue to come back read more

I love the roll cake with the pastel colors. Nice place to sit, workers kind of rude but yeah who cares. Used to be bene bene now it's this. I miss the pork store that was on this block lol. read more

Cakes look so appealing yo try. Ordered several pieces to try (honey cake, opera, black forest and chocolate something). Cakes were spongy (always a plus) but tasteless. All flavors were tasteless which made me frustrated, they weren't even sweet! Wouldn't recommend this place though I know it's popular. read more

Really nice spot for a sweet treat. It's exceptionally clean and well organized. Staff is very nice. The Portuguese egg tarts are probably why most people come in and they are very well priced, delicious, and fluffy. However, there is a great selection of fluffy breads and cakes to satisfy any palate. The bubble tea was also surprisingly good- with soft chewy bubbles. Some of the breads can be a tad oily- such as the fried taro bun and the scallion topped bun. I would avoid any fried breads here read more

This place is always packed, most of the time their egg tarts are sold out. Wish they can make more. They do have delicious cakes and egg tarts needless to say. read more

I live in the neighborhood and this is by far one of my favorite bakery shops! I love everything

My favorite spot to grab some sweet treats and green tea! Try the opera cake- it's a must have here in Bay ridge!

Red velvet. Dry. Here are more words to show that I am not a bot or a person having a stroke.

There iced coffee is great. Their pound cake melts in your mouth. Best ever! Anxious to try their other stuff..everything looks so fresh and delish. read more
