I placed an order for their Portuguese tarts and told them I would pick up by 9:30. After trying to look for parking and ended up double parking, I had to wait on the long line for 15 minutes to get my order. Then they told me they sold my order. This is ridiculous! They definitely have no ethic! This is not how you run a business. Horrible business conduct! Would not visit again! They did not even apologize! If there is negative review, this is what they would get! read more

One of the best places for Portuguese egg tarts. It's almost like a self fulfilling prophecy. Since there is always a demand for them, they are always coming out fresh and warm. It is a perfect combination of creamy and flakey. Their drinks are pretty standard and I have no complaints! I haven't had all their baos but they do hold a wide variety of different options. read more

I love the egg tart here. I would drive all the way from Queens to Brooklyn for there egg tarts. So yummy. I usually buy 4 dozen cus it's so worth it. It has a lot of ingredients, and I get filled from one of these. I wish they opened on in queens. I haven't tried anything else here, next time I will get other stuff to try. Must get there egg tart!! The price is decent compared to flushing. You will not regret. read more

I've been a big fan of this bakery for so many years and I really love their pastry. It's a very disappointing experience today after I bought egg tarts, the Fat lady at the register was rude when I asked her for a fork for my baby daughter. She asked me " what do you need the fork for? Two times with a disgusting attitude. She didn't offer any napkins and when I asked for, she threw two pieces of napkins at the counter. Really?? read more

Lily Bloom is probably my favorite bakery in the neighborhood. Very clean, nice staff, and fanciest looking buns. At first glance, this bakery and the style of bao reminded me a lot of 85C bakery in California. The prices are slightly higher than the other typical bakeries in the area, but still very low priced. Every now and then I treat myself to their Portugese egg tarts (po tat) - if I see it right out of the oven, I would order one without hesitation. At $1.25 each, why hesitate at all? Flaky, buttery crust and warm custardy center. They also offer a large assortment of drinks with their twist. My go-to is the brown sugar coffee milk tea. I love it! read more

The portuguese egg tarts are what it's known for. I got half a dozen to go. It's great when it comes right out of the oven. I wasn't a fan of the crust, but really digging the eggy custard. It wasn't as caramelized as I would like, but still one of the best in Bensonhurst. The ladies there speak Canto, which is great. They were really nice. I got 2 other buns and they were just ok. Too much bread and too little toppings. Felt like I was eating mostly bun. I also got an oolong with milk foam (everybody's copying Gong Cha now?) and it was too sweet. Next time I'll know to tell them not to put sugar in it. I like that it's bright and clean inside. read more

Just no. If u r not an old Chinese lady. Be prepare to wait for hours. They will ignore you. Edit: so we try the bun (bread) that took my half an hour just so the lady will let my pay for and it was empty in the middle, missing all the filling. So basically it's just the crust of the bun. read more

This place is like Xin Fa Bakery in Park Slope's Chinatown (okay I just realized Xin Fa translates to Lily Bloom). I came here for the Portuguese egg tart, and I must say it's better than Xin Fa's. The egg tart was piping hot and the flavoring was more on-point. The bottom crust wasn't very flaky though, and it was rather average. $1.25 for the egg tart, pretty average I guess. read more

Portuguese Egg Tart is delicious. The texture is creamy; the crust is flaky and buttery. I am addicted to it. Every time I go there, they are just taking them out of the oven. Hence, it is piping hot. I pair it up with hot milk tea and it is the perfect breakfast in the morning. read more

They have a great assortment of breads and their Portuguese egg tarts are solid; they're actually very popular. I hear people coming all the way from Queens just to buy their Portuguese egg tarts. I like that their bread is pretty fresh and isn't as oily as most Chinese bakeries. Sometimes when you're there at the right time their bread is still hot. One of my go to bakeries cause the quality of food here is above the average bakery. read more

I love this new bakery ! They have a huge selection of delicious pastries and buns that you can't really get much of anywhere else in bayridge. When you walk in there is someone waiting to help you grab whatever freshly baked treat you would like. They also have a lot of drink options including bubble tea. My favorite I have tried so far is their taro ball pastry it was delicious and filled with mashed taro. The only down side is for now they are cash only. read more

Sister was craving portugese egg tarts so i found this spot. After reading all the reviews decided to order some to try. The bakery is not ur typical chinese bakery, very modern with cakes, desserts and different types of baked bread. There were seatings on one side as well. Picked up my egg tarts and they were very warm thru the box (must be fresh out the oven!) once i got home, tried it and it was very good. However, i must say the whole egg tart feels very filling. Theyre big in size too. Im not sure what the ingredient is but the egg tart itself is super creamy--not so much egg like. The skin was very flaky but more like dough flaky and not crusty flaky like regular egg tarts. The portugese part was a tad bit disappointing becos the burnt touches were minimal at the top. I did like the egg tart but it was definitely way too filling compared to other egg tarts ive had. I was only able to have one in one sitting. Staff was nice and friendly tho, cash only, and lots of other interesting items thru out the bakery so i will try again read more

Lily Bloom Bakery - Portugese egg tarts, super creamy and very filling. - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Super clean and modern Chinese bakery with the best Portuguese egg tarts I've ever had. I can't resist stopping by and getting them whenever I'm in the area for a haircut. I also like their honey sponge cake and milk tea. So far, Lily Bloom hasn't disappointed but I'm so enamored by the egg tarts that I usually don't try anything else. The tart is quite large and has a flaky, thicky crust with a generous amount of custardy center. read more

Highly recommend the Portuguese tart. It's creamy and flaky. Even better if you get it hot! Pineapple bun was okay. It's not super sweet. It's a little drier than I've had before. I wasn't a fan of the coffee milk tea. It was too watery. read more

Yep, tried something different today and it was ,....... surprise, BLAND!!! This place still looks clean and modern, but nothing has any taste or flavor! Not the breakfast noodles or the cute rectangular blocks of specialty cakes. I won't ever be returning. Ever. ##Update since my last review, I decided to give this place another shot since it was so cold outside and I wanted to warm up. Ordered a hk tea, and it took them forever to make. The server went ahead and served two people behind me cause she was waiting for me tea. Was she boiling a tea bag? I bought one of the mini cake rolls for $3.50, and it didn't taste any better or different than other bakeries. Their prices are a tad high to compete with local bakeries. I don't foresee them lasting. read more

Definitely one of the best portugese egg tarts I've had to date. The egg Custard is very heavy and has a very light and sweet taste. The crust was a bit doughy in my opinion and I would have preferred a lighter flaky crisp. read more

Have to bump my review down again. The pastry still taste the same but with a change of staff comes change of service too. This area serves a lot of Asians and most of these customers you can tell are new immigrants who don't understand common courtesy. The staff has to work on service especially the girl with glasses that works as the order picker. Some customers just comes in yelling their order skipping people who were there before them and the staff don't seam to care serving them first. This kind of action really discourage customers who fairly patiently waited for their turn to want spend their money. The egg tarts are the only thing good. But it's not extraordinary good. Many places in Chinatown & Queens makes a much better Portuguese egg tart. I don't think I will be coming back here after the staff purposely let 3 people skip just because they yelled their order once they came in. read more

Bad customer service. Got hung up on before order was completed. Went to pick up and was told to wait another 20 minutes.

I've never heard or even noticed this place (even though I take the D train almost everyday) until a couple of weeks ago when my friend pointed it out and hyped up their Portuguese egg tarts. She insisted I tried them, but I refused and told her that I'll go spontaneously one of these days. I ended up coming here a few days later with my girlfriend and we each got 2 egg tarts. The custard-filling is really thick compared to ordinary Chinese egg tarts, which I really liked. The top had a thin sweet layer, different type of sweetness than the filling, and the crust isn't as flaky as the egg tarts I've had in the past. We enjoyed it so much, we stopped by the next day as well. This review is based solely on the Portuguese egg tarts, and absolutely nothing else. *Small note - they're $1.25 each and they don't have any deals if you buy half-dozen or dozen. read more

The egg tarts here are to die for!! If you come at the right time, you can get them right out of the oven. They sell out pretty fast. Vey filling, creamy, and delicious. Besides the tarts, I would not recommend anything else. I also got the pink heart lemon coconut cake. It was too sweet, filling was strange, and also has a weird hard layer of crust in the middle. read more

Never buy crepe cake here !!!! It's terribly not tasty. My children just spilled it right away don't waste your money !

i buy the Durian crepe cake $30 today, it is not fresh and frozen. It tastes so dry and the cake has heavy crepes but little durian. I would not buy cake again. read more

I only went in the get one of their glutinous rice wrapped with lotus leave which I find they make it perfectly. Many times I walk in I would check out their other selections of baking goods buns and pastries than eventually not have the courage to give any of them a try. I have did tried their Portuguese egg tarts which I find them divine and the best I have ever had similar or same as Xin Fa on 8th Ave was just as delicious. This visit was same like other visits to been wandering all around the bakery like I would find treasure. Then this lady carried out a try of white round puffy balls and putted them in their clear showcase. I stared and stared as other customers kept ordering them. I find them cute and pretty looking so finally I bought one to try. Quiet surprising how it tastes. Chewy texture with a slight taste of sesame both a hint of sweetness with a bit of saltiness also. It's airy so I don't know if it's baked or fried and not greasy. If its bake it would be my healthy choice of those Asian fried glutinous sesame balls with red bean paste interior that that you can find in most Asian bakeries. Also a popular dim sum dish so it is very popular as serve during Chinese New year. Comes very close to it but taste less greasy and sweet without the red bean paste. Find this pretty chewy glutinous light airy white ball, I kinda enjoy to each bite of it and crave for more as I came close to my last bite. I going back for another one. Not to mention ladies working there are actually very pleasant and friendly which is hard to find in an Asian Chinese bakery. I appreciate their good service that I finally found. read more

Everyone knows about the Portuguese egg tarts here, which is super bomb. No need to hop on a flight over to Macau or Europe for this. There are set times that they come out of the oven so many times, you can order boxes in advance for pick up. There are 6 per box, perfect snack, absolutely recommend. It's a good pick me up for a party and all. I'm also a big fan of the squid and seaweed bread, but it is definitely an acquired taste. Peeling off the squid and seaweed from the top is so yum. Chewy flavors all the way. Another all time favorite is definitely the mango mousse cups. The cakes are great and affordable for any parties that you have. They also have custom sizes that are large, but you'll have to order in advance because it takes them some time to get a box that can fit a 14+ inch cake. This location is so much less packed than the 8th Avenue location. Sometimes I call this location to place orders for pick up at 8th Avenue which works fairly well! Owner bounces between the two locations and is amazing! read more

Came here for their famous Portuguese custard tarts. Glad I did. It's a modern clean bakery on 86st, right off Bay Parkway. Their hours are pretty decent as well, they're open till 7:30pm. Their custard tarts are pretty unique, luckily for me it was the kind I liked. They combine the less eggy and more thick, custard like filling that's common in the Chinese/Macau/daan taat versions you'd buy in chinatown with the thinner and less flaky tart that's more commonly found in the Portuguese versions (pastel de nata). The result is pretty good, but unusual. The inside is delicious but definitely a little too dense, outweighing the crust and so it isn't 100% balanced in every bite. The upside of this is that you won't eat the entire box in one sitting :) Overall, this is a pretty delicious option in Brooklyn area to satisfy that custard tart craving, especially if you enjoy custard that's more on the thick and creamy side and not the type where you can sense or taste the egg. The bakery itself smells really nice. Super clean looking. Not the friendliest or easiest to navigate if you don't speak Chinese. Also, no current discount if you buy 6 tarts, at least none that I've seen posted anywhere visible (like on the older photos uploaded here). read more

I've tried all Lily Bloom locations in Brooklyn but had the worst experience at this one. I always get the iced coffee and some kind of bun. This time the ice coffee tasted watered down with no coffee flavor. Usually coffees at Chinese bakery's have a strong flavor, which is what I explained to the cashier. She told me since I didn't want sugar in it, the taste of the coffee would be weaker. How does sugar correlate to coffee taste??? I kindly asked if she could remake my drink in which she was rude about it, saying it would taste the same. I seen so many bad reviews about the customer service here, they need to change something about it! read more

Best Portuguese tart (canto style) in town and probably best that I have ever had. I grew up in Hong Kong so I have my fair share of egg tarts and Portuguese tarts but these are flaky, fresh out of the oven and are simply the best. I am so glad that I found this through a Youtube promoter (Mikey Chen) but I also wish that they have a store closer to the city or do delivery. read more

You know it's serious when you travel 20 minutes out of your way, just to try these Portuguese egg custards. Did they live up to my expectations? Oh yeah.... so good. Not overly sweet. Creamy. One of the best part was the crust! Not flakey but very sturdy. Delish! read more

Get the Portuguese tart and leave. I have tried other baked goods from them here and there but every time I did , I regret it. I got a durian dessert yesterday and oh man. I just wasted my $3.75. It's nicely package and the sales told me inside is fresh durian. However, the when I cut open it all see is cream with a itsy bitsy durian in there. I just throw the whole thing out. I would much rather go down the block and get Audrey's newly durian Dessert read more

This bakery used to be good a year ago, but not sure if I can say the same. I called in to order a dozen of the Portuguese egg custard a hour prior to picking up. I arrived and they basically didn't know there was a order. One of the worker said it's going to be a 10 minute wait. Okay. Fine I paid and told her I will be outside. She asked me "outside? So do you want it?". Err yea.. I just paid you for it. I waited then went to go pick it up, the workers weren't even aware I came back and that I already paid for it. The quality of the bake goods isn't as good as it use to be. read more

They do have the best egg tarts. If you are lucky you can get them when they are piping hot! I'm not a fan of anything else. I've tried a lot of their fancy looking buns and they seem dry. The first time I went I bought like 10 different types of buns. They look better than they taste. Ice coffee is terrible (tastes more like American coffee than Chinese coffee). After coming five times I've decided to only buy the egg tarts from here. read more

I've been going to this bakery for ages. Not because it's the best, or the cleanest, or any reason, really. I'm just a creature of habit. That being said, I can attest that their buns and drinks are pretty standard. This time around, I got their Indian Mango cake for a friend's birthday. This cake is AWESOME when it's fresh. Less awesome when it's not. Try to call in and order this cake beforehand, so you're not like me--waiting last minute, then getting a day old cake from the window. read more

Right after having dinner at Istanbul, I made my way a few stores down on 86th street and came to this bakery spot and all I have to say is that their mango milkshake was absolutely delicious and so creamy, no sugar just regular organic mango. Very nice staff, decent prices and just a great first experience. Great place to hang with friends and family on a summer night. read more
