Portuguese Egg Tarts that are comparable to the ones in Asia. Word of advice, call early in the day to reserve a whole box for pick up and thank me later. read more

Overrated. Everything they sell is average except the egg tarts. However, they don't sell them once they open shop which is ridiculous. Staffs are clueless or rude. They don't tell you these things. I showed up at 5pm asking for the egg tarts and they said it's sold out. That's understandable. I said that I'll try again tomorrow and asked them what time they open tomorrow. They said 6:45, not 7 like yelp states. I came the next day at 8 am and that's when they told me they start selling the egg tarts at 10. This was a Sunday FYI. I'm not sure if that makes a difference. Waste of time. I've had them before. They taste better than most egg tarts but not worth all this hassle. read more

I saw the reviews about their Portuguese tarts so I had to go try it out. I wish I had caught them fresh out of the oven but they weren't so it wasn't as flaky as some people say it was. Otherwise, the custard was so smooth, creamy, and yummy! Not to mention, they were rather filling as well. My mom got some coconut sponge cake/pastry item (there was no sign for it so I don't know the name), which was pretty tasty as well. A little bit on the sweet side but most coconut items are typically sweet anyway. Everything looked really good and I wish I had the stomach to try everything in there. Everything was so cheap also! Next time, I'm going to get those bags of cookies. If only I can decide on which one. read more

The Portuguese egg tarts are so good! And at $1.25 each, they're practically a steal! The cream is really dense and smooth and has this amazing sweetness to it. It can only be matched with the super flaky and delicious crust that surrounds it! The mango mochi here is also one of the best that I've ever had! Unlike others, the mango pieces inside are actually sweet and not sour. The mochi is really soft and chewy! I wouldn't go to Lily Bloom for the other bakery items though because they're your typical Chinese bakery items that you can find elsewhere for much cheaper prices. But definitely stop by to try the Portuguese egg tarts and mango mochi if you're in the area! read more

A step up for Chinese bakeries in the bensonhurst Brooklyn area! Their name caught my attention when I walked by a few weeks ago so I went to see if they had anything different or better yet anything worth going back for... Aside from a few typical Chinese style buns and pastries their Portuguese style egg tart is a must try! Sweet and decadent with a fluffy crust. Comparable if not better than Tai Pan bakery's egg tart! Tai Pan bakery is a well known Chinese bakery but Lily Bloom is just a mom and pop kind of bakery. I've also noticed that Lily Bloom serves a few pastries that aren't familiar in most typical Chinese bakeries but has made them stand out. New York style cheesecake, red velvet and tuna bun are a few items that you don't see often at Chinese bakeries. I have yet to try them out. Definitely try the Portuguese Style Egg Tarts if you visit this spot! Their buy 5 and get one free deal is still going on! :) read more

This review is for their Portuguese egg tarts, and they are excellent, my favorite so for. Definitely better than anything I've tasted in NYC. I prefer these tarts over lord stow's in Macau. Lord stow's is too burnt and not as creamy as lily bloom's. read more

Heard about their Portuguese egg tarts so I came and boy am I glad. The Portuguese egg tarts are usually warm and fresh, the crust is light but flaky and the egg tart is self is creamy and fluffy and smooth. So good. I also tried a couple of the breads and they were really good. read more

This is my go to spot to get the best Portuguese egg tart. You need to get there early before it runs out. To die for. I like to take it home and slightly warm it up in my conventional oven. I am speechless. They also make good buns and pastries here. I love their iced milk tea and ice coffee. Refreshing!! Try the tarts for yourself and let me know if my taste palette is on point. read more

This is probably one of the more appealing bakeries along on 86th street because it's bright, clean, and also serve items that are slightly different and fancier from most Chinese bakeries on 86th street. I've tried the Portuguese tarts here before and honestly, not a huge fan of it. I prefer my don tots to be sweet and have a buttery crust. I've also tried their Yin Yang and it's pretty darn good. As for the buns and dim sum I haven't tried it yet. Overall, out of all the bakeries in Bensonhurst and 86th street - Lily Bloom Bakery is probably the most expensive mostly because of the type of food and products they have. This isn't my favorite bakery on 86th street, but it's definitely worth coming to for different items that aren't available at other Chinese bakeries such as macarons, lattes, and etc. read more

I don't understand why they had to force me to buy 6 egg tarts when I told them I only wanted to get 5 this time because I already had one in my hand. All they needed to do was simply pass me 5 egg tarts in a box and I would do the rest of the packing by myself. But the manger there seemed very aggressive and insisted that I had to buy 6.Very pissed but on top of manners I complied with them. I really loved their bread and next time I'd go,but only go out of my love for bread. Their attitude towards customers seriously need to be improved. Overall everyone wants to eat bread because they enjoy the pleasure bread can bring to them. read more

Amazing Portuguese egg tarts I ever had I must say. The egg tarts here are worth every penny. It's so creamy and big ! It's best when it's fresh out of the oven that's when I get it usually around 9:30 am. The breads here are like no other bakery it's very different in the sense that they are more creative with their buns. It's delicious as well. As for the milk tea and the lemon tea , I'm not a fan. Maybe because I like my drinks sweeter. The ladies here are so sweet and nice. Definitely a fan. read more

This is my go to Portuguese egg tart in nyc - my second best. I love the one in Macau too much. They don't taste the same. This egg tart has a sour sauce glazed on top - maybe lemon, crust is crispy and layered, egg custard is not too sweet - perfect Other items in this bakery are good too, nothing as good as the egg tart Will go back for the Portuguese egg tart read more

This place has good Portuguese tarts! It's very filling so just get two first before buying so much. They have variety of bake goods and the sizes are larger then other bakeries. It's huge and the prices are low, how good is that! They also have a huge list of drinks, I got the HK style ice drink. read more

When they say "Portuguese Egg Tarts" sell here. Lily Bloom Mean it. Two thumbs up for their Egg Tarts. I came back three times already in 2 weeks for these $1.25 Delicious creamy Egg tarts I've ever eaten in NY. I love the Liquid Gold bread too, soft bread with melting egg yolk inside. Great creation! I'm glad this kind of bakery open in this neighborhood. read more

Their breakfast items (which aren't displayed out front) are quick to eat, delicious, and cheap! I recommend the 大包 aka "dai bao", it literally means "big bun" and is filled with pork meat, chives, celery, an egg, and a Chinese styled sausage. It tastes great! I also tasted the chow mein (wasn't too oily!), fried rice (there was a hint of curry on my taste buds!), and stir fried macaroni with veggies aka veggie pasta (this tasted good!). I also recommend their cold milk tea, which was refreshing to drink on a hot summer day! read more

I passed by Lily Bloom Bakery on 86th street in Brooklyn. From outside the cakes looks really great so I decided to try one of them. I'm not local, I dont live there. I believe the cashier find out that and she sold me really old, hard, flavorless piece of Caramel white chocolate cake for $2.50. She probably thought I will not come back because I dont live in the area. The bus stop and train station is near so people passing by all the time. She was right I will never come back because the cake was a disaster but hopefully she will learn that the customers always can write review on Yelp. You dont "push" old, disgusting cakes to customers, especially when you just open new location and trying to build the business. read more

The worst bakery ever!!! I bought some breads last month and ate them right away and the breads were dry, hard as rocks and went bad. Had the sour taste on the hot dogs and ham & corn. Like those breads were leftover from a couple days. They were just NOT FRESH at all! Had their egg tarts. They were not bad. And this time I tried to give them a second chance so I got a mango mousse and it tastes like scr*p!!!!!! I can make it 100 times better than they do at home!!!!! I would never go back to them!!!!! read more

Got some egg tarts today. Usually they're very good, but today's were either under baked or the ingredients were off, they looked hideous. The taste were a bit off also, but still on the better side. Hope it's just a off quality batch and not where they're headed towards. read more

TLDR: Nice variety of bread and pastries, a bit more expensive, standard flavor but bread looks yummy, and good service most of the time. This place offers more varieties of bread and cake compared to the typical chinese bakeries, such as blueberry cream cheese bread and red velvet cupcake. However, in the same token, some bread like the cocktail bun is a little bit more expensive and the flavor is standard. Service can be a hit or miss. One time a woman skipped the line and said she's in a hurry and the cashier accepted her money first. The most recent incident is a cashier saying they don't have mochi when they are clearly on display. The woman ignored my boyfriend when he pointed out where the mochi was on display and she proceeded to help other guests. He was going to leave but a more competent lady assisted him. Overall, give this place a try only if you're bored of the typical Chinese bakery bread. read more

The service here is not very good lately. These ladies need to stop skipping customers and work on first come first serve bases. I was standing waiting for the Portuguese egg tart to come out and the lady took another customer that was behind me. And he took the entire egg tart. The lady didnt even acknowledged that I was standing there. How rude.. and they were talking like they know each other...I guess that's what u get in a Chinese bakery. No wonder I hate going to these places. read more

Only egg tarts are good. DO NOT BUY THEIR TEAS OR BREAD !!! I repeat, DO NOT DO NOT buy the teas or breads. Breads are kept there until sold out. Tasted like hard PAPER. For breads, go to VIP Coffee like two stores down? read more

This is my favorite Chinese bakery in Brooklyn! They have the best Portuguese egg tarts - buttery flaky crust with a thick creamy torched custard center. Each of these bad boys are $1.25 a pop but it's discounted if you buy 6 at once so do yourself a favor and just get half a dozen. The other bakery items are good too. This is one of the few bakeries I've been to that have the melon crust salted egg yolk buns. If you've never tried this before, I know it can sound weird (who wants a salted egg yolk bun?) but it's the best thing to get! These are so hard to find. I usually like to bring this home and pop it into the microwave oven for a couple of minutes so the yolk center is extremely runny and delicious and the topping is nice and crunchy. Careful though as you can burn your tongue! If you're Cantonese and wondering what I'm talking about - get the lau sa bao. Trust me, you won't regret it. read more

Delicious Portuguese egg tarts - amazing texture with just the right torched top. They are the most delicious right out of the oven and still hot. You can get them discounted if you buy six or more. Treat yourself and your friends!! Service was pretty friendly, too. read more

This is a branch of Xin Fa Bakery on 8th ave in Brooklyn Chinatown. Come here for the portugese egg tarts. Its the same quality as Xin Fa Bakery; however its much less crowded. Came in on a Friday afternoon and there was no line. I was greeted by staff who were helpful and friendly. I was in and out in 5 minutes with half a dozen of portugese egg tarts. I have yet to find portugese egg tarts of this quality anywhere in New York. I prefer this location over Xin Fa. read more

review only for the portuguese egg tart that my friend bought. DELISH. creemy center, and crust was crispy and flaky.

This review is mostly For their egg custard tarts which are $1.25 each. Whoa they were so good here, really over looked this bakery in Bensonhurts, Brooklyn. Flakey, buttery and warm, these were some of my favorite pastries growing up. Their outer crust texture on it is amazing. They also have very good taro goodies too. One star off because I've had a few other pastries which were terrible. Do not any type of cheesecake or lotus bun. read more

I found this place to be a 4 star bakery because of its cleanliness , the food and the staff . there are many unique types of pastries that you might find here outside of the traditional Chinese bakeries. I enjoy their wide variety of drink and food choices. Staff were very welcoming and suggestive on what to try. The only reason I gave it a 3 star was because the menu is pretty much useless. Most items are duds meaning they don't serve them. I saw the promo for the dollar taro, green tea or sesamepeanut waffles but They told me they don't serve that but would if I order in a large quality. So in order to have waffles I can't order it only in 1 piece for a dollar but instead a large order that can feed Idk let's say...Iceland? Okay forget that. Congee. They have like 9 different congee listed but every time I name one They would say no and redirect me to the only congee they actually serve. After attempting to order I felt quite frustrated knowing that they don't have what you want but only what they want to serve. What's the point of the menu then? Seating is not a breeze. Since there are only 4 tables and people like to be squatters , I would recommend to get it to go. read more

Concubine (taro) cake. $1.50. Lightly sweetened and moist, two-layered roulade with a light butter cream in the middle. Taste exactly what you expect (with a beautiful violet hue). Very graceful. When you crave a butter cream roulade, this is what you should get. Reliable and great with any hot unsweetened tea or coffee. read more

I love this bakery for their Portuguese egg tart, which is by far the best I've ever had. It is really rich and creamy, I love the texture. I always get a case or two to take home when I stop by. They also have those soft cheesecake which is really good as well. For the price and the portion of their bake goods, it's pretty reasonable. read more

This is the sister bakery of the one from 8th Ave (originally Xin Fa). I was so excited to find that there's a source of delicious Portuguese egg tarts available near my home. But alas, the Portuguese egg tarts here aren't as good as the ones from 8th Ave one. When I visited one late afternoon, the egg tarts were cold and looked like they've been sitting out awhile. I will give them another try sometime. read more

The Portuguese Egg Tarts is pretty good here. Currently is buy 5 get 1 free, which cost $6 for the whole box. I also like the milk tea and the soy bean drink. The bakery is clean and modern. They have a lot of varieties like Congee and dim sum. I will be back soon to try out more items. read more

Poh- tat! I've been to Macau and I honestly think these are better than the ones I had in Macau.. They're delicious and really big in size. My mom bought these for my siblings and I... we gobbled them all up cause they were so good. The egg was fluffy and whipped in texture and the crust to eggtart ratio was good. I'd come back to get the family some poh-tats in the near future. read more

The danh tat/egg tart is amazing! Better than any I have eaten before!!!!! The crust isn't too greasy and the custard is creamy and light. It's such a great combo and a great surprise to bite into. They have a nice selection of desserts and treats. I tried the mango jello thing and it was amazing!! Con: it's pretty pricy read more
