This is literally my favorite bakery to get Portuguese egg tarts from and they have quite a few varieties of interesting Asian breads. The only complaint I have about this place is that it is sooo deep in Brooklyn but that just makes me want to make sure trips over whenever I can. This bakery is okay sized however it is always busy, at least whenever I go, so it will get a little squishy. The service is super quick and although I am not a big fan of crowds, I really think the items here are worth the hassle. This time around I got a 1/2 dozen Portuguese egg tarts, they are always made fresh but I would recommend to eat at least one once they are purchased because the quality is definitely the best when first purchased, and I tried the durian crepe cake. The egg tarts of course are always great and the durian crepe cake was super moist and very duriany and not too sweet. Definitely will be back for these two items as soon as I can as well as pick up a couple more! read more

Service: 3.6/5 Food: 3.6/5 Price: $3-$5 per pastry One of many Chinese bakeries along 8th Ave. This place was featured in an Instagram reel I saw recently for their Portuguese Egg Tarts, which is what I got. The rest of their bakery selection has the most common classics + more unique flavors/fillings. A few tables on the side to enjoy your quick treat. What I Ordered: - Portuguese Egg Tart: smooth custard filling, more classic pastry crust, subtly sweet - Strawberry Roll Cake: moist sponge, slight fruity sweetness read more

The shop's signature item is definitely their egg tarts. In my personal view,the other pastries and breads are just so-so and a bit overpriced. When it's crowded, you may have to wait quite a while for tart. If you don't want to wait in-store, the staff will take your payment, note down your phone number, and call you back when the next batch is ready for pickup. One box contains six egg tarts. If you can't finish them all, storing them in the fridge will give them a completely different taste. read more

A few of my work friends had recommended Xin Fa Bakery for their egg tarts ($2), so I decided to buy some for a gathering. There is a good amount of custard and the crust is on the thinner side. I am not a fan of the crust because it feels more crumbly. There is a worker in the front who will get the baked items for you to maintain order and cleanliness. read more

$2 Portuguese egg tarts - they only sell these but they are just like regular egg tarts! Really great value. I would come back again. The custard is eggy and there is a great amount of it in the tart. The pastry crust is thin. They make it pretty often so I got mine warm!!! This was so yummy and better than Flushing egg tarts for price, value, and taste!! read more

The best egg tarts in Brooklyn! If you're lucky, you might not have a long wait but even on a rainy day, I had to wait 30 minutes! At least I know they were made fresh and packed just for me. Their egg tarts are great cause it's thick! The crust is nice and flakey and still manages to hold onto the thick custard. It's also not too sweet, making it the perfect little snack. I've gotten breads and other pastries from here as well but the egg tarts are the move to go. They also have the name Lily Bloom inside too so I'm not sure if this bakery is still called Xin Fa but I know there are other Lily Bloom bakeries around the block that aren't as busy as this one. So if you want to skip the wait, go to one of the other locations! read more

I'm a huge fan of egg tarts and this place have the best one I've ever had! It lives up to the hype. The custard to shell ratio is perfect! It seems like 85% custard and 15% shell. It came out SUPER hot I burned the roof of my mouth 3 times but I just couldn't wait. I've never finish any shell of an egg tart before, but I did here! Part of the shell have a cheesy taste to it. The custard was not too sweet and it wasn't heavy with the vanilla either, just the right amount. It was so fluffy! read more

On weekends be prepared to queue 30+ min for pasteis. read more

More like a 3.75 / 5 On the long-term search for a great Portuguese / Macanese Egg Tart and on a day of Brooklyn errands, I finally made it to Xin Fa Bakery. Supposedly they're a sister bakery to the growing Lily Bloom Bakery. In the middle of the block, on a busy food shopping stretch of Sunset Park (running into Borough Park) aka Brooklyn's Chinatown, the nicely designed, modern bakery looks cozy old school with clean simple modern decor, displays, and also cakes & pastries that looked like a French influence. Or it might have a bit of Korean influence- not sure. But once you move to the back for the pastries & pick-yourself-tongs & trays, you can find traditional Chinese baos alongside square matcha sponge cakes. It's still an interesting mixture of refined Chinese baking. BUT we were there for the Portuguese Egg Tarts & so was everyone else at close to 5pm. They were constantly baking and there was a 8-10 person line. One cashier was for pick-ups, the other was for orders & payment of all items. Most workers spoke Mandarin and Cantonese, and a some English. But always, folks are kinder when you speak Cantonese. The clientele were inter-generational Chinese, but also Latinx and gentrifiers popping in. The Egg Tarts were $1.75! For either regular or Portuguese. They take your cell # & give you a receipt. It was about a 10 minute wait. Many of 15 people of all ages milling around and at tables were waiting. AMAZING that everyone was there - still coming at 5pm (close 7pm - half the cases were empty), for this elusive tart. The tarts came out steaming hot and jiggly. They are THICK! Almost 2" deep. The crust was a flakey version, but pressed a bit more. Took a bite on the car ride home and it tasted like steamed egg. A bit disappointed. However - had some more for dessert after dinner, after it cooled significantly, and it was pretty tasty! Not-too-sweet. Very generous portion. The tart isn't life changing soft as Flushing Bakery (RIP), Double Crispy, or Joey Bat's; but a great option to try you're nearby. There weren't any other buns that looked traditional or interesting to try. Wonder if they have Pineapple Kaya Custard Buns earlier in the day. read more

Finally decided to wait in the queue for eggtarts that's suppose to be really yummy. I didn't understand the custard texture everyone in reviews were talking about, until I tried it myself. Seating inside as people enjoy a fresh egg tart, you can buy a single one, or a couple, or a box that comes with 6pcs. Egg tarts you wait in line that's behind the counter. It is indeed custard, but like creamy and fills you up w deliciousness. I got a box and ate one thats still warm, bc they come out fresh baked. So tender inside and flaky crust outside. There's also breads and buns to look at while you wait in line, feels like a bank line during a retail checkout. read more

Solid bakery and the egg tarts (no don tat, but more like po tat) are good. Their egg tarts are more Portuguese style, which is richer than a plain egg custard tart, but it's still a solid 3.75 to 4. Xin Fa's other bakery items are good as well -- not the best I've ever had, but better than just average. They even have pineapple bun with butter (bo lo yao) but it could use more butter. It's not as good as in Hong Kong, but will be 50-60% satisfying if you just need a fix. If you want bakery items, line up and let the person there get the items for you (don't grab a tray yourself). Egg tarts are purchased directly at the cashier. read more

- Locale Destination - It's on 8th ave and 57th st in Borough Park, Brooklyn. The storefront says "Xin Fa Bakery", but inside says differently - "Lily Bloom bakery". Make up your mind. Confusing. Ambiance: Once you get into the bakery, I looks like a typical bakery with several seating. Menu: Breads seems normal, but the pastry and drinks are more interesting. Pastries - Mille crepes, tarts, cakes etc. Not just "Portuguese custard tart", which is so famous for. Service: many of them only speak Chinese. You can use credit cards! - Gluttony Expedition - Portuguese custard tart: Bomb!!! Get it when it's fresh and hot! They open at 8am, but didn't put them out till 9am. When you don't order like 16, you might wait but can get the fresh one right off the oven. Your wait time totally worth it. Rose tea: they actually put rose buds, which I do like. Tea is just a tea bag. But not bad for $3.50 (16oz). - Conqueror's Deduction - It's quite cheap and tasty. Usually boba tea costs +$5 at least in NYC, so this place is a steal. Get the Portuguese tart right off the oven! I like it! read more

The egg tart from this bakery is an absolute treat for anyone who appreciates a well-crafted pastry. Upon first glance, the huge golden, perfectly baked crust immediately stands out--flaky, light, and delicately crisp. It's the kind of crust that shatters with the slightest touch, revealing its buttery layers without feeling greasy. The real star, however, is the custard filling. It's smooth and silky, with just the right amount of sweetness that doesn't overpower the natural richness of the eggs. The filling is set to perfection--creating a delicate balance that melts effortlessly in your mouth. What makes this egg tart particularly exceptional is its consistency. Every bite offers the perfect ratio of flaky crust to creamy custard. Served warm, it's an indulgence that's hard to resist, and even when cooled, it retains its wonderful texture and flavor. read more

This is our first time buying from this bakery, Having a very worst experience dealing with the bread server women that wearing glasses and mask yelling at me not allow to choice the fresh apple pie on the bottom and focusing me to get the bad one(the one not fresh), My husband and I can tell not fresh that was make from yesterday or this morning The another angry thing was she said if you don't want it "just leave " We think the reason she not allow give the fresh bread is because they are closing soon they just want to keep the frensh one for next or two days to sell. All we advise is we don't recommend to buy any breads from this bakery as you are not eating fresh bread at all and dealing with those attitude that you spend money from there If there's a zero star I wanted to put 0 star but one star is less that I can pick read more

It's the perfect thing to bring to a party or as a gift. They were piping hot when I got them and smelled delicious. The egg tarts themselves are filled with a smooth custard.

Some of the best egg tarts I have ever had. Located deep in Brooklyn's Chinatown, Xin Fa specializes in Po Tat, aka Macanese style egg tarts. They cost just $1.75 each, and are baked to order. The store is small and seemingly always crowded, but do not be intimidated by the line-it moves quickly. They have a good selection of other breads and pastries as well, plus speciality drinks, but the star of the show is definitely the egg tarts. I got 4 egg tarts, assuming they would be similar in size to ones I've had in Portugal and China. They were DOUBLE the size, about 2 inches deep, with a much higher custard to crust ratio than I am used to. Eat them hot and fresh, but careful upon biting into: the center is molten. The custard was light, bouncy, and eggy, with the perfect level of sweetness. The crust was simple, crisp, buttery. A perfect treat. Well worth the 2 hour journey from Manhattan. read more

My husband and I drove to this bakery on 8th Avenue in Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago to try their Portuguese egg tarts. The bakery was packed. This bakery seems very popular for their baked goods. The air was filled with the aroma of baked goods which was nice. I waited in-line and ordered the tarts when it was my turn. Each tart was bigger than what I've eaten before. They were $1.75 each. Although the tarts were big, they weren't that sweet. I've had sweeter. I think each bakery makes it differently. I'm not sure I'll go back for the tarts but I'll definitely visit again to try other baked goods. read more

Cash only. Bread is fantastic. However very odd that you can't grab bread yourself and a staff who stands there gets it for you. Speaking chinese is probably a plus so you can figure out what/where to go. Coffee was ok, very cantonese style with creamer. Did not like it. This place is in the center of Brooklyn Chinatown so not the cleanest. It's super busy inside too... would avoid rush hour. Wanted to try other stuff but way too busy and cash only.. read more

There was a line upon arrival, although the line did move pretty quickly. I got half dozen of the Portuguese custard tarts! They were hot and fresh out of the oven! I don't think it's fair to compare these to the ones from Portugal, but I will anyway? These are not as good but it was good to Brooklyn standard lol the crust is not as flicky as I would hope. There are no seatings in the bakery. There are some standing table which is quite common for Chinese bakery. read more

During my recent trip to Brooklyn, I had the pleasure of visiting Xin Fa Bakery, and I have to say, it completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of freshly baked pastries filled the air, making it impossible to resist trying their famous egg tarts. And let me tell you, they were absolutely divine. The pastry itself was a masterpiece -- perfectly flaky, golden brown, and with just the right amount of crispiness. It practically melted in my mouth. As for the custard filling, it was nothing short of exceptional. Silky smooth and creamy, with a rich texture that struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. You can truly taste the quality of the ingredients and the dedication that goes into making each piece. It's clear that Xin Fa Bakery takes pride in maintaining the authenticity of their recipes while delivering top-notch quality. The egg tarts alone are worth the visit, but their entire selection of baked goods looked incredible. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious treats. This place is an absolute gem and a must-visit for any pastry lover or anyone who appreciates well-made, traditional Chinese pastries. Highly recommended! read more

* Portuguese egg tarts ($1.75) * Assorted breads $1.25-$2.00 Amaaaazing Portuguese egg tarts recommended by my pal I would call this a hidden gem but people who live in Brooklyn knows their egg tarts and Asian bakeries. At $1.75 in this ECONOmy, this is an absolute steal. The egg custard to crust filling ratio is like 8:2. The crust is SO crispy and egg custard so creamy with that layer of caramelized top. Everyone who came into the bakery walked out with at least a BOX of these egg tarts, and they're constantly churning out new batches of egg tarts so you'll defo get them fresh from the oven, warm and nice.

Such a great Portuguese egg tart. A little bit different than the ones I've had as this was super creamy and softer. It still retained its shape with each bite. The texture was almost like Chinese sweet steamed egg that you would eat for dessert. They keep the egg tarts warmed, so when you get it, it's piping hot still. A great option for colder days. The pastry is flakey and buttery and everything you want in an egg tart crust. Just slightly oily. Plenty of people coming in and out for the Portuguese egg tarts and for good reason. read more

Egg tarts are rich and creamy. Taro cakes are good too. Bit on the pricey end. Good comfort foods.

The place is very hyped and there's constantly a long waiting line. They usually keep popping out egg tarts out of oven until 5ish, so it is rather easy to get freshly baked pastries. ＊ Portugese Egg Tart 葡撻 The egg custard filling is dense and stuffed, probably 2x larger than normal ones found in other Chinese bakeries. Jiggly like soft pudding, sometimes coated with bubbles of caramelized sugar. Given the outstanding custard and cheap price ($1.75 each), I am very fine with the underwhelming soggy crust. ＊ Hong Kong Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶 My go-to HK Milk Tea spot in Brooklyn. Silky, smooth and rich, bringing the taste of home. You could pick either condensed milk if you are a sweet tooth, or evaporated milk with added sugar (I usually request it without sugar). ***Make sure you order "HK Style Milk Tea 港式奶茶" instead of simply "Milk Tea 奶茶". My mom mixed them up once, they gave us teabag milk tea. The aroma was very weak and the evaporate milk failed to blend with the tea base :-( Worth Returning ? YES I've already lost count of how many times my fam has been there lol read more

~ Portuguese Egg Tart ~ The size of this is a beast compare to other Portuguese egg tart I have seen in the city! I waited about 10-15mins for the fresh batch, it is very jiggly (as you can see in the video) and custardy. It's lacking some eggy flavour, and the tart case not is not what i expected, as it's lacking in layers and not flaky, it is quite crispy though. Still a pretty nice tart, and I am quite happy with it given the price and size! ~ Hong Kong Style Milk Tea ~ It's pretty authentic! However I got the iced one, so the ice diluted the taste a lot. I ended up getting a hot one to go so I can chill it at the fridge and drink it cold at home. It's indeed quite good with the strong slightly bitter Ceylon tea flavour! Sadly I forgot to order it with sugar, I'll be back next to get a hot sweetened one to go! Will I be back? Yes! Great neighbourhood bakery offering nice food with cheaper price. Will be back when I'm in the area again! read more

Stopped at this bakery because of online reviews for the Portuguese egg tart. I had really high hopes and excitement to try them. Some other reviews had stated that the staff are unfriendly and if you don't know how to speak Chinese then it would be a bad experience. Not in my case. I came in respectful and took my time looking at all the pastries and baked goods they had to offer. I was never rushed. Once I made my decisions I stood in line and pointed to what wanted. The Portuguese egg tart was okay. They are not something that I would go out of my way for as I have had much better. For the price, the Portuguese egg tarts are a deal. $1.75 for one or a pack of 6 for $10.50. The other pastries and baked goods I had were fine as well. I got the black sugar longan cake for my mom and she enjoyed it. That was unique which I have not seen at other bakeries. I would come back if I'm in the area, but also would try other bakeries in the area. read more

The macanese pastel de nata. That's it. That's all you need to know. When it's fresh out of the oven (which is usually is because you gotta wait for it, it's so popular) and the custard just melts in your mouth-- :chefs-kiss:. The breads are also super popular and all look delicious, so as you wait in line to order the egg tart, you can decide on a couple to serve as breakfast the next day. There will be a line. It will probably take a bit of time. It's definitely worth it. read more
