Order: Portuguese egg tart and egg tart: flaky and buttery exterior, portguese style is sweeter with caramelized style top. egg is sweet and soft. Price is $2.50 for egg custard and $2.80 for Portuguese Pineapple bun: when it comes out fresh, there is nothing better. Crunchy top with minimal crumbles falling off, not overly sweet. Bread was fluffy and not dense. Tiny shop that can have a line out the door, but the line moves quickly. Prices for the breads are displayed on the wall or a tag by it. Milk tea, coffee, and refrigerated drinks to go along with your bread. read more

Definitely top 3 Chinese bakeries in the bay. Pineapple custard bun is better than pineapple king and prices being lower only locks that in. The egg tarts are 10/10 but the Portuguese egg tarts are better. Parking: 2-3 spots in front so expect to walk a couple blocks. Cash only: First place I've been to that only accepts a max of 5 Pennies. My total had 40 cents and I had 30 cents already but tried to do the rest in Pennies but they wouldn't let me. Strange rule. There could be a limit on only 3 quarters also, I didn't get that far read more

It's that time of year again, so I ordered another strawberry cake for my little granddaughter's birthday party. I ordered a 9" round and it seems that the price has gone up a lot; this was a bit over $60 and I think a quarter sheet from last year was about that price. Besides the cost of the cake, it seems that there weren't a whole lot of strawberries between the layers either; the berries were sliced very thin and there were spread out more. The whole effect was a cake that was not as tall and definitely not as tasty as in the past. Still, the cake itself was light and not overly sweet and there are no regrets in getting it. Just a word of warning, it's cash only and I think you have to go in person to order a cake in advance and pay for it. It's okay for me since I live nearby, but I can see how it would be really inconvenient for others. read more

Mr. Bread - They did the writing and I put on the special decorations! - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Need a bakery with yummy buns! This is your place! They have all sorts baked fresh daily. They are no-nonsense quick service to get you in and out. Nothing special about the space. It's actually kinda narrow so you'll have to squeeze by people if there's a small line. They have fresh made egg tarts and Portuguese egg tarts too. I ate mine right away before I could take a picture. I like the curry beef puff, they have a bun version of it too. Pineapple buns, cocktail buns, and on and on and on.... Try them all! read more

Mr. Bread - Curry beef puff, pineapple bun, custard bun, bbq pork bun - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came in the morning around 9:00 am! It was empty on a Monday. The smell of fresh asian bread and treats was amazing. Parking: limited in the front unless you find street parking in the residential side Payment: Cash Only This place is definitely a hole in the wall and they make everything fresh. I loved the pineapple bun, baked pork bun and the egg tart. Pineapple bun: 4/5 - standard but tasted amazing when it was hot Baked pork bun: 4.5/5 - really good! It isn't as sweet as the ones I've tried in southern california Egg tart: 4.5/5 - so good when it was hot! I love how thin the skin was and there's a lot of the custard filling. It had a strong taste compared to the egg tart I tried elsewhere in SF read more

Came here for the egg custard tarts and they were exactly what I was looking for. They have a normal style and a Portuguese style ranging between $2.50-$2.80, I believe. Service is quick in this no-frills, classic Chinese style bakery. They also had an assortment of cakes and other pastries. CASH ONLY is the only downside to this spot. I hardly carry cash anywhere nowadays. read more

Mr. Bread is known for its Portuguese Egg Custard Tarts and Egg Custard Tarts. So delightfully yummy! I reheated them at home at 350-370 degrees for 10 minutes. As of 12/8/25, it was $2.30 for a regular Custard Tart and $2.60 for a Portuguese Custard Tart. I think the Portuguese tarts did taste a little better. Go early enough so they don't sell out. I went 12:15 PM on a Monday and had no trouble. After we entered, a line formed behind us. However, after eating lunch in the area, there wasn't a line after 1 PM. CASH ONLY. Closed on Tuesdays. Bakery is a Chinese dive. Narrow customer area barely wide enough to form a single line. Walls are covered in paper ads, menus, and pictures. I was too panicked and crowded to take pictures, focused on paying and getting out. Besides custard tarts, there are other Chinese pastries. You can also order a cake here. Mr. Bread is located on Taraval St near 19th Ave or Highway 1. You need to find street parking. Buy a lot of custard tarts! They are comforting and addictive. read more

The first day of December and it was a sunny day so I went on a Holiday stroll in the Sunset Strip of San Francisco also known as the Sunset District. San Francisco is one of the best places to get a dessert. I am in search of a tart which has its origins in Portugal but has spread to countries like Brazil and China. These egg tarts are also known to be from Hong Kong and Macau and part of Cantonese cuisine. The search for the best Portuguese egg tarts and Pastel De Nata has me going to Taraval street .The Sunset has lots of places which serves and egg tarts such as Pineapple King and Sunset Bakery. One place which has one of the best in San Francisco for Portuguese tarts is Mr. Bread. This spot also serves lots of pastries such as egg tarts and buns . Although I am of Portuguese heritage and the Portuguese tarts was on my mind I had to try their buns. I like all types of buns but the curry beef buns were the best I had in San Francisco. It was savory and the buns were soft. So delicious. I then had the Portuguese tarts and I would say it's my personal favorite. It was not too sweet and it was fresh and velvety. It was smooth and tasty. It wasn't flakey like most of them in SF. This place is also the go to place to get customize cakes. They are closed on Tuesday and it's cash only . I now only wonder where is Mrs.Bread ? They have the Cream, Curry Beef, Pineapple, Taro , Tuna "Bun " and other pastries which are well "done" and the Portuguese egg tart is my favorite "one " in San Francisco as I enjoy the First day of December on Cyber Monday at the Sunset strip under the "sun" "Mr. Bread "has a good bakery "spread "go here you won't be "misled "when it comes to Portuguese tart the taste is miles "ahead "I feel fortunate to live in San Francisco the place I was Born and "bred " read more

I've heard good things about this place so decided to stop in to try it out. Egg custard tart: the crust was thin, yet buttery and flaky, however, the custard was not as smooth as other places. Pineapple bun: decent, but I've had better. Wife cake: flaky crust with a good amount of filling Overall, it was good, but I still prefer the bakeries in SF Chinatown in terms of taste and price. That said, this location is much more accessible, especially when it comes to parking. Friendly service. Cash only. read more

Cash only. They are known for the Portuguese egg tarts, but I actually really loved their ham and egg buns. I like how the bread is soft and sweet, and the ham/egg is salty. It makes a good combo. You can buy them à la carte, but remember to bring cash. The line can get long, but I think it moves fairly quickly. Great Chinese bakery in the sunset. (I tried the Portuguese egg tarts years ago, so I can't remember how good they were.) read more

Mr. Bread - Ham and egg bun - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Small mom and pop Cantonese Chinese bakery in the Sunset that reminds you of the early 80's/90's 25c cocktail buns and pineapple buns. I normally get a couple of each, The prices are prices are now at the 2025 rate but the taste is really good still. This place has no seating so it's just a takeout spot. They also have a small fridge with pictures of cakes but I have never tried one. They also make both po tat ( Portuguese custard tarts) and dan tat ( regular custard tarts) . Both are good but I prefer the classic dan tat just because the skin is a little more fluffy and less crispy and the custard is more moist. People order half or dozens of both so you can't go wrong. On the weekends there is usually a line and if you go during the peak time you might have to wait for fresh tarts. They will tell you to come back in 15-20 mins if they are out but will save them for you if you prepay. Cash only spot so bring those dollar bills ( a $20 probably) since you'll get a variety of items here. TLDR; All items are pretty good here. Small lines are expected on weekends and possibly waits for tarts if you going during a peak time. read more

Near-perfection in a tart. What more is there to say? Sure, they have a small selection of other pastries, but the star of the show (by a highway mile) is the Portuguese Custard Tart--a masterclass in taking a basic concept & executing flawlessly on the fundamentals. The perfect amount of flakiness in the crust, the right amount of buttery without being oily or overly greasy, fresh custard, served warm(!). My mouth is watering just thinking about it. And a steal at $2.80 per tart (cash only). Bring lots of cash from the ATM. Exercise restraint. You'll want to keep coming back for more. read more

Mr. Bread for the win! At $2.8 for the Portuguese custard tarts and $2.30 for the egg custard tarts they are perfectly sized treats. You can be satisfied with 1 (or 4..and they are not bite sized.. they're a few bites bigger). To be safe and because I didnt want to share.... I got 6...The 2 of us inhaled them all on the 20 minute drive home. Also they were piping hot..so obviously had to be eaten immediately. So doesn't like these fresh out of the oven. read more

Love coming here for their egg tarts and birthday cakes. Got the ultimate compliment of "it's not too sweet" from my Asian aunties and uncles so this is where I get cake now whenever we have any celebrations. Their egg tarts have the flaky crust (not my personal favorite) but I'll take it because it's not too oily but still buttery. They have the Portuguese and Hong Kong style egg tarts, both are super tasty. read more

My favorite!!! Love coming here for cha siew baos and dan tats. Love that they sell both regular and Portuguese. Get your cash ready and try to come at an odd hour to avoid the lines read more

When visiting San Francisco and looking to avoid the crowds, come to the Outer Sunset and try their Portuguese tarts! They're life-changing and the classic egg tarts are just as good. I like them when they are hot and ready. This bakery offers all the traditional Hong Kong baked goods you'd expect, from pineapple buns and BBQ pork buns to cocktail buns... they have it all. Make sure to always have cash on you. I rode the N line all the way to realize I didn't have any cash and they would not take card nor Apple Pay. read more

Cash only - this place is average in my opinion, even for their egg tarts which is their speciality! Tried the pineapple bun, coconut bun, and portuguese and egg tarts but I felt like all breads/baked goods were underwhelming. Nothing was extremely soft or fluffy or flavorful. I went pretty early in the morning (maybe 7:30/8am) but things weren't warm. I would equate this quality to sheng kee honestly. read more

Everyone talks about their Portuguese tarts which yes are good and basically all their egg tarts sell out quick. Their baos, dare I say, are equally just as good. Their pineapple buns are so good. The pork buns are full of meat and so satisfying. Lastly, the taro buns, for a taro Queen is pretty up there. Tons of taro inside. Don't sleep on Mr Bread Baos. They're def fire! read more

Was walking through Taraval to look for something to drink, and stumbled upon this small mom and pop bakery. I've walked passed this place many times and always wondered how small businesses like this have lasted for so long, until today. I was definitely able to grab a water bottle, but also thought why not try one of their pastries. There I saw some fresh baked Portuguese Egg Tarts and thought I definitely had to try one! It was warm, jiggly like a souffle, and so smoooth with every bite! I made the mistake of only buying one, but if you're looking for a damn good egg tart, this is the place! Make sure to bring cash because it's cash only! read more

Mr. Bread - Fresh Portuguese egg tart - Bakeries Near Me - San Francisco, California

This is our go-to Chinese bakery for sponge cake--and it never disappoints. We've been coming here for years for every special occasion: birthdays, Mother's Day, holidays--you name it. The sponge cake is our absolute favorite. We've ordered both the 8-inch round and the 1/4 sheet, and they're always a hit. The cake is fluffy, soft, and fresh. The fruit on top is refreshing (although I do wish the middle tier of the cake had more fruits), and the whipped cream is light and not overly sweet. The flavors are perfectly balanced. We always call a few days in advance to place our order and schedule a pickup time. The bakery is small, but they run things very efficiently. There's no dedicated parking lot, so we usually find street parking or have someone wait in the car while picking it up. They also sell other Chinese baked goods, and everything we've tried has been very good--tasty and reasonably priced. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for fresh, delicious Chinese sponge cake and classic bakery items! read more

I would've never known about this compact family-run bakery on Taraval were it not for a local food vlogger named Mei Mei, who drove her mom all around the city to try all the available custard tarts. After going to all the usual suspects in Chinatown and elsewhere, most of which I've tried, they stopped here and raved about the tarts. OK, that was enough of an incentive for me to take the L line over. Well, on my first visit, I didn't get here until about fifteen minutes before closing. I should've known they'd be sold out of tarts. Since the owner caught me looking forlorn, I impulsively bought two items, the $2.50 Coconut Strudel, a flaky and spongey pastry shaped like a thick stick (photo: https://yelp.to/Oy6uNnWCpF). The other was the $2.50 Custard Horn. Although bigger than a tart, it made a nice substitute (photo: https://yelp.to/Lf-7jwN-vY). Both were satisfying treats, but hey, they weren't tarts. That didn't happen until today when I found myself in Parkside at lunchtime. It dawned on me that I could finally get a tart. Sure enough, they had them fresh on a tray on top of their display case. They had Egg Custard Tarts and Portuguese Custard Tarts, so for only $4.90, I bought one of each. They shared a thin, flaky shell. The plain egg one had a perfectly smooth custard filing (photo: https://yelp.to/PlcQMQDtyq), while the Portuguese one had a nice toasted top that lent a welcome texture to the tart (photo: https://yelp.to/xizR5mxluF). Thanks Mei Mei, and thank your mom.

Mr. Bread is worth visiting only for their Portuguese egg tarts and Hong Kong-style egg tarts--these are the standout items and the only reason I'd return. The tarts are fresh, flaky, and not overly sweet, striking the right balance of flavors and textures that make a great egg custard tart. Beyond that, the other baked goods don't impress. I always do a standard comparison by trying the BBQ bun, ham and egg bun, and egg tarts to gauge a bakery's overall quality. The ham and egg bun lacked sauce, making it dry compared to what other Chinese bakeries offer, and the portion of ham and egg was very minimal. The BBQ bun was unexpectedly salty rather than the usual sweet-savory balance--possibly just an off batch, but still disappointing. This is a takeout-focused spot with no seating inside, so it's mainly for quick pickups or catering orders. Parking is metered street parking nearby, which can be a bit of a hassle at busy times. On the positive side, the bakery is clean, family-owned, and the staff is friendly. If I come back, it'll only be for the egg tarts. read more

Seriously the BEST potats (portugese custard tarts) in SF! I was recommended this place by my friend who'd been coming here since childhood. Once I tried their potat there was no going back. It's a typical asian bakery that had no seating inside (cash only!) I've also gotten their curry beef bun which is also very yummy. Been wanting to try their corn bun but it's always sold out Note: they sometimes close for a couple days without notice (sign on door) so I've gone there twice before where I left sad read more

Love the Portuguese egg tarts here! There's usually a line but it moves pretty quickly. You order at the front and they'll take down your phone number if the item isn't immediately available.

While hanging out together, my friend Li Y. mentioned hearing great things about Mr. Bread's egg tarts. With the whole day ahead and being in the area, I insisted on taking us so we could check out the acclaimed shop! The bakery is a true local, mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall shop! Very unassuming both inside and outside with a small bakery display case and a storefront to squeeze around 6 people. Known for their egg tarts, you can see other baked goods displayed as well as a menu. The ladies working were efficient and cordial at packing the other. Depending on the time of day and what you want, you may have to wait for things to come out of the oven. I'll be real, I don't like the taste or texture of sweet custard--being dairy-free it's in my favor to avoid it. With my kind friend Li Y. graciously picking out the baked goods and paying for us, we decided to sample. Though I don't like egg tarts, the ones at Mr. Bread surprised me! Their Portuguese Custard Tarts are mind-blowing delicious, sweet, and flaky. The Egg Custard Tart was silky while the Coconut Custard Tart was dense, crumbly, and heavy on the coconut. I found them to be fine but the Portuguese Custard Tart to be the true winner! Though egg tarts aren't necessarily my favorite thing, they might be for you! If that's the case, Mr. Bread on Taraval is a must for those in the city and Bay Area try! I know I'll be recommending it to my friends. The location is small but somewhat easy to find with metered or neighborhood parking around. read more

Thanks to my Uber Yelp friend AL L, Mr.Bread came up on the radar when I asked who had the best Chinese egg tarts. Of course Golden Gate came up. ...I was surprised to hear of this previously unknown bakery to me as his and his wife's favorite stop. So of course had to get there to try them! During a particular day filled with food collecting, sightseeing, and Yelp event attending in the city, Kyra K and I made it to Mr.Bread. The bakery is very unassuming; even easy to miss. Do yourself a favor and don't! We got there soon after lunch and already found the egg custard tarts all out. "Five minutes wait five minutes okay?" After ordering a sampling of Portuguese tarts, coconut tarts, and "almost ready" egg custard tarts, waited off to the side. While waiting the small store filled up fast! And one after another, their selections sold out. Enjoyed taking them to a park to sample with friends, then some home to share with family. While the Portugese tarts were all my friends favorite with the brulee like topping. My cousin hands down favored the coconut tart. For me it was the less sweet, absolutely custardy egg tart. Good problem to have... something for everyone! For the tarts...five stars! Agree, Mr.Bread added into my new rotation of "must stops" while in the city. Love that the shop is outside of Chinatown on Taraval St and definitely easier parking. read more
