From left to right, Hong Kong Egg Tart, Lava Cheese Tart, Portuguese Egg Tart
Nina R.

I decided to get a few desserts. They had a special going on, buy 2, get 1 free and a few free samples I tried a few nibbles of the sugar cookies and a piece of a Madeline cookie. I decided to try 3 of the 4 different tarts. They looked amazing. I got them to-go and took them home to try. Service was fantastic. The lady was very upbeat and friendly. Encouraged me to buy more and took the care to carefully bag the items inside a cute, decorative bag. The set-up was clean and modern. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the overall flavor of all three of the tarts. The Hong Kong Egg Tart and the Portuguese Egg Tart both tasted like scrambled eggs, but in a creamy, custard texture with a crust. I could not taste anything else. Just egg. Not enough sweetness, no vanilla nor other flavors to compliment them. The Lava Cheese Tart was way too salty, nice smooth, fluffy, custard-like consistency, however the flavor was off. I took a tiny taste of each and I will not be finishing them. They were unappetizing and not to my liking.

Menu as of 6/4/25

It was my first time at the Pop-Up District food hall a few days ago, and The Beat caught my attention with it's large menu and simplicity. They only sell several pastry items where half of them were tarts. Since I was here an hour within closing, they do BOGO deals on their pastries, which is a win for me. I got the PORTUGUESE EGG TART (3.75) and got the HONG KONG EGG TART for the BOGO deal. Between the two, the Portuguese egg tart wins. The custard was creamier and more buttery, and the torched sugar top also made a difference. The HK egg tart was pretty mediocre. Even though the tart itself was a bit soggy (since I did get it at night time), I felt like the pastry itself could have been more flaky. Overall, solid Portuguese egg tart, but 3.75 for just a single one is pricy penny to pay.

Learned about the diff between portugese egg tarts and hong kong egg tarts. Also learned that I like em both! Gotta come by and try!

The workers are super nice! Is it like omg drop dead mouth watering bakery goods - i wouldn't describe them as that. They are good but some are extra dry while others are messy and fall apart after a bite. The taste isn't bad tho they are good!

Cute pastry shop within Pop-up district. I really enjoy their egg tarts and array of chocolate, strawberry and match smashed croissants. A must if you're in the area and want a treat.

These eggs tarts were pretty good. I liked the Portuguese one more than the Hong Kong one but they were both creamy. Surprised to see a random bakery in the new food hall that opened but all in all wouldn't mind going again if they updated the menu.

Hong Kong themed bakery inside Pop-Up food hall at Eden Center, selling traditional Portuguese egg tarts, and their Hong Kong egg tarts cousin. I tried both, very good, with a personal preference for the Portuguese version. They also have other tarts and chocolate croissants.

I haven't been to Eden center in a while so I was surprised to see a food hall. I had pastries at the Beat, and while the Portuguese egg tart was good, I would highly not recommend the black sesame tart. Tasted like dirt. The pastry though was at least very flaky. I wish the tarts were served a bit warm. The egg tart was still good; somewhat of a creamy inside with more emphasis on the egg and a nice flaky crust to pair along with it. Decent texture; I'm used to more creamy custard but the slightly eggy center like slightly-creamy scrambled eggs was a nice surprise.

It was my first time trying this place. This was so good!!!!! Will definitely go back and get some more. It's not too sweet which is a big plus. Very crispy on the outside. Love the texture, taste, and its look :D

We inhaled the other 3. Was a 6 pack

Reminds me a bit of Na Tart in Flushing NYC. In a way I like this one better. Heftier, bigger and flakier crust. We'll be back!

Hong Kong egg tart and Portuguese tart.

Both were good, but the Portuguese were slightly better I guess cos it's warmer, and fresh from the oven. They also have lava tart, coconut tart, croissant and, chocolate croissant. Staff there were friendly as well.

I've been to this cafe a few times and always end up getting their famous Godfrey's breakfast…read morecroissant with a latte. The food is consistently delicious, and the coffee is great too! It's definitely a nice spot for brunch and catching up with friends. The only downside for me is the noise level. The music tends to be a little too loud, and I feel like that makes everyone speak louder as well, so the overall atmosphere can get pretty loud. I was hoping to sit down and get some work done, but it was difficult to concentrate. I really enjoy the food and would definitely come back for brunch, but I'd love it even more if the music were turned down a little.

Elegant European cafe vibes! Come for the coffee and pastries…read more I recently had brunch here and the restaurant is beautiful and spacious, including a really nice outdoor patio. I had the breakfast croissant, which was yummy although the honey dijon mayo didn't add much except making it drippy, shrimp bowl, which was good on paper and in taste although the veggies were laden with butter, hummus and lavash (excellent), and dulce de leche pancakes (excellent). I like how eclectic the menu is with entrees ranging from omelettes to veggie/rice bowls. I think the standout items though are the croissants/pastries and the coffee. The service, while nice, was quite slow. Overall had a good experience.
