Such great egg tarts! Fresh, jiggly, and kept hot, definitely some of the best egg tarts I have gotten. Also tried some of their other bakery items and was also happy with them. A great Chinese bakery. read more

Popular Chinese Bakery in Brooklyn's Chinatown. If you're ever in around 8th Avenue in Brooklyn, definitely come here to get some of their Eggtarts. There is usually a line to get them but it's worth the wait. In the past, you usually have to call in advance to place an order with them, but we were able to get them without calling! read more

Egg tarts are the special here, snagged the last three until the next batch. The skin being a bit greasy so didn't separate through the layers (no flaking like other places), and the custard was more undercooked, almost a soft pudding. Still, when warm was better than the average egg tart. Nice packaging and a line out the door while waiting on egg tarts. read more

I've never really cared much for egg tarts, but I was curious since people rave so much about the ones from this place. Today, I realized it's not that I don't like egg tarts, it's that I've never had one from here. I was impressed by the taste and texture. It was definitely fresh, but piping hot. I recommend giving them some time to cool off before eating. read more

Xinfa Bakery - Egg Tart - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Newly renovated bakery on 8th ave! This bakery looks a little out of place because of how nice it is. We came here with the intention to try their well known Portuguese egg tarts, but we missed it and have to wait 20 mins which we didn't have time for. We will have to come back! We did manage to grab two delicious buns. We got the shredded pork bun with scallions and scallion bun. Both were really good especially when we heated it up with our toaster oven at home. Would recommend getting buns from this bakery and we will definitely be back to try the egg tarts and other baked goods! read more

Stepping into this Chinese bakery was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly baked pastries wafting through the air. The selection was impressive, offering a perfect mix of traditional and beloved treats. I couldn't resist trying their iconic egg tarts, which had a perfectly flaky crust and a silky-smooth custard filling that melted in my mouth.

Each bite was a nostalgic journey, bringing back fond memories of childhood visits to local bakeries.

Best Portuguese egg tart in NYC! We came here to try their famous Portuguese egg tart. The line wasn't too long, but moves like a snail. We waited in line for almost 30 minutes. Portuguese egg tart - $1.50 Omg, the Portuguese egg tart was a true beauty. The Portuguese egg tart was steaming hot, thick and dense. The top layer was beautifully coated. First bite was amazing, but hot. So be careful! The egg custard was so soft, the crust was perfectly crisp and flaky, and sweetness was just right. It was delicious! Do not over order unless you're sharing with others. One Portuguese egg tart is very filling. But again, I think I could've gone for a second one. haha! Was it worth the wait? Yes read more

I am eating this in my bed at 12:21am because it is so delicious. call ahead and get at least six. They are the best pastry on 8th Ave... possibly in all of NYC. The textures are unimaginable. The crust is buttery, flaky, but not dry-- and the filling is....a cross of eclair, napoleon, egg tart..flan...Just wondrous. Warm- it's wonderful, cooled- also wonderful. These tarts overshadow everything else in the bakery. read more

UPDATE: Xin Fa is currently closed for renovations, so if you call no one will pick up. I wish they put something in the messaging service because people will call nonstop (which is what I did this weekend...). They have a sign up on the storefront with this news but I didn't have the chance to take a picture of it. Pros: - Xin Fa makes the best Portuguese egg tarts in all of NYC. Hands down. You have to call in the morning to put your order in with the exact pickup time. You have to commit to your time otherwise they won't hold your tarts. Cons: - It's a zoo in there, very crowded with impatient and mannerless FOBs. You have to literally fight your way to the cashier to pick up your boxes or order other baked goods in the back. read more

Dark Queen - Lil Uzi Vert When I eat these Portuguese Egg Tarts i go into a different realm. The flakiness, the supple texture, the creaminess. It is sooo yummy and i would 100% recommend. Long wait tho, so get there early. $9 for half a dozen read more

Bought 2 eggtarts, one charsiew bao, one butter bolo bao and a regular bolo bao. The lady helping to pack the pastries that you want into little individual bags was very helpful and friendly. Do not be deceived by this little asian bakery, the pastries are very authentic and delicious. The eggtarts were amazing and i am definitely in love with the butter bolo bao. read more

Came on a particularly hectic Sunday, or is everyday this wild? Come in with patience as you stand in line amidst the grannies, aunties, and youngsters desiring the beautiful pastries, especially the popular "Po tat", Portuguese style egg tart. Super warm and jiggly as you take it out of the bag. Melts in your mouth as you bite into the egg custard. Come early as other popular buns like bolo bao and cha xiu bao were sold out! read more

This Cantonese bakery in Brooklyn Chinatown is the best hole in the wall spot. I came here for the first time in Dec 2018 and on a recent trip to NYC during May 2022 I stopped by again, specifically for their Portuguese egg tarts. It was crazy seeing how much popularity they've gained over the years -- I waited in a 15 minute line!) -- it's awesome seeing their business thriving! I got their cha siu bao (bbq pork bun), Portuguese egg tarts, and pineapple bun. The Portuguese egg tart ($1.50) was still delicious as ever and piping hot right out of the oven. Not surprisingly, their other pastries were also delicious! Probably one of the best pineapple buns I've had in a while. If I lived in Brooklyn this would easily be my go-to bakery for fresh and tasty pastry goodies. read more

Their egg tarts are good when hot, but once they cool down, they are like custard pies from supermarket, nothing special. The reason I gave 2 stars was because of their poor services and employee attitude. I had to wait indefinitely if I wanted to get 1 or 2 tarts even though there were plenty on the shelf. I ended up ordering 1/2 dozen, then the service was immediate. A nice way to push sales........ read more

If this bakery were in Manhattan I'd be going every single day. Ridiculously good price for ridiculously delicious baked goods. So yeah, I get the super long line. At least it moves relatively fast! The egg tarts are fresh out of the oven and best eaten right away when hot. The custard part is super soft and jiggly, and the custard-to-dough ratio is very generous. Ok so maybe the authenticity is debatable but they're great for what they are(n't). They also sell other typical Chinese pastries and baked/steamed goods, but also Japanese castella cake! The interior is actually very modern. I was expecting a super old-schooled Chinatown-esque bakery, but it exceeded my expectations. read more

Wow, please sit down and eat your Portuguese egg tart as soon as you get it! It's worth burning your tongue and your inner cheek because the piping hot custard is definitely worth it. It's rounder and fatter than your typical Portugese egg custard (a fatter and better version of Lily Bloom's basically) and while I love the creamy and generous filling, it's not very hold-able and the crust isn't as flakey as my number one egg tart place (that would be New Flushing Bakery, please go and try theirs!). The crust breaks off super easily, and not because it flakes off. It BREAKS off. That said, I ate two in one sitting... And that said, I normally eat all 3 or 4 of New Flushing Bakery's in one sitting as well... You get the comparison now? Still, the size and pricing can't be beat and I'm sold on this hype! Definitely my #2 and despite the pushy crowd and rude bakery-goers, my tummy wants more. read more

I remembered coming here when I went to the psychologist nearby back in 2010 and 2011. The place takes a modern twist with the concept of Chinese bakery. When I entered, the place as grilled cakes. I came here to order a sandwich and their cheese dog. The cheese dog is similiar to the korean style. read more

Five stars for their Macanese Dan Tat. This was the first chinese bakery dan tat (Dan tah, egg tart, portuguese egg tart) I've had since the start of the pandemic and it was heavenly. The crumb wasn't that cumbly, but the smooth, just eggy enough custard in the middle was perfect. I'm drooling writing this. Their other pastries were excellently executed: baked char siu bao (cha sa bao for mandarin speakers, bbq pork bun), hot dog buns, egg cake. Their style is more on the lighter style of Fay Da and Sheng Kee and less gritty SF chinatown (where the pork char siu baos are meatier and juicier and denser). I called to pre-order the egg tarts so they were there waiting for me when I got there in a box next to the register. The cashier was like, why not make it 6 to get a full box? Good idea. When I was in the store, I also picked out other things to order and the person behind a table went and grabbed everything I pointed at. Good covid precautions. We ate everything so quickly I didn't have a chance to snap any pictures. Will have to go back again! read more

These are some seriously good egg tarts. They come out piping hot (be careful of burning your mouth), have just the right amount of sweetness, and are super custardy. There is a line, but it's warranted. Will be back to try some of their other stuff...or just to buy a box of 6 of egg tarts next time. read more

if you haven't been here, you're missing out! Stopped by last week for a Yelp Elite event, but had to go back the next day because it was that good! The egg tarts are (in my opinion) the best thing there. Rich. Sweet (but not too sweet). Flaky. Eggy (in the best way). Luscious. Velvetty. I can go on and on.... Tried out a few items...the mini cheesecake was probably the best I've had. It was smooth, rich, creamy, and had the perfect balance of sweetness. The sponge cake with blackberry filling made a great morning treat with some tea, and the caramel cake with white chocolate mousse was the perfect dessert after dinner. Brooklyn is really lucky to have Xin Fa, and will keep going back for me. Don't sleep on this place! read more

The ordering system was a little clunky but it's the kind of small local hole in the wall where you just talk to your neighbor in line and make sure you're in the correct line - one to order, and on to pickup if your order is not yet readily available. You definitely have to wait for fresh cooked egg tarts but despite the long line, we did not wait more than 15 minutes until our order was fresh and ready! read more

The Portuguese egg tarts are super tasty when eating fresh out of the box. It's super creamy and the tart is very flakey which I loved. The line wasn't too long and they were very quick in the exchange. read more

Great customer service and they do understand English. However, they do not serve the egg tart until 9:30am so do not go when they open. The egg tart is just ok and it is big for the price for one. It cost $1.75 each. These egg tarts are not to my liking so not worth the trip to get these. read more

I was in the neighborhood and I walked out of my way to come to this bakery. I heard of this place from Mikey Chen, saying this is the BEST egg tart in NYC. Of course, I have to come and try it. I came here around 6pm and walked in. I asked the lady if I could get some egg tarts and she asked me if I pre-ordered any. I told her I didn't and she looked at me like I was crazy for asking for egg tarts without pre-ordering (so maybe you should pre-order some via phone). But anyway, the lady told me to wait in line and ask the cashier if there are any available egg tarts for sale. To my luck, there were! Boy oh boy. these egg tarts do not disappoint. they were hot out of the oven and I do have to say these are some of the best egg tarts I have ever had. These are on par with the ones I had in San Francisco. If you find yourself in the neighborhood, come swing by and ask for some egg tarts. I think they come out of the oven every 15 minutes, so if you're lucky you might be able to catch some extra ones. If not, give them a call and pre-order! read more

Their Portuguese egg tarts are the best I have tasted. It's soft and creamy and not overly sweet. They make a few batches at a time and they fly off the shelf. You can always preorder and come back to pick them up. They do have plenty of breads and cookies. Everything is individually bagged for cleanliness. Service is a hit or miss. There is always shouting here and there but it just because it gets overly busy. The line reaches out the door. read more

This Chinese Bakery is famous for their Portuguese egg tarts (Po tarts). Their egg tarts are amazing! Hot out of the oven, the egg custard is creamy hot and sweet with a perfectly flakey crust. When we lived in the neighborhood, 3 years ago , I would order their Chinese buns or egg tarts for ourselves, friends or coworkers. I remember we used to walk in and order half a dozen or a dozen Po tarts that day and return in an hour for pick up. Or my coworker will order 3 or 5 dozen for a company party. Apparently, they got so popular recently, you have to order 24 hours ahead of time. We tried to order the day of, two weeks ago and they said they don't do that anymore. Frustrated, we ordered two dozen this week to see if they're quality remain the same. Yes! The smell is intoxicating and The Taste is just as good as it was. Their quality of egg Tarts are hard to find anywhere else in the city. They may not taste a hundred percent like the Portuguese egg Tarts that you would get in Macau but their interpretation is a very good quality (Macau's egg custard is less fluid and more firm). Xin Fa serves the closest thing you can get in New York. I will be back!! read more

Is it the best egg tart I ever had? No that would be in Macau and Hong Kong. But it's definitely the best egg tart I've ever had in America. Whenever I stop by in Brooklyn's Chinatown I would buy at least half a dozen if not a dozen to bring back home. The custard is the perfect level of sweetness. 1 tip is to not to eat it right away (funny right?) but to put it back into the oven or air fryer and cook it high temps for another few minutes. Trust me...it matches with the best of Macau and Hong Kong. If you eat it fresh it's good but not next level. I find their pastry sometimes isn't cooked to its best potential because they have to bring them out as fast as they can due to how long the lines are. So reheat and then eat it at home is a game changer! read more

I came here on a Thursday morning to get some baked goods since a lot of my friends recommended this place. Also, a family member brought a box of their famous Portuguese egg tarts on Thanksgiving. So yeah, I've been meaning to come here. The bakery looked more modern and brighter than other old school Chinese bakeries in the neighborhood. I ordered the roast pork buns, a taro ball, and a sesame ball. The baked goods are fresh and tasty. The prices were a little bit higher than other bakeries but the quality was better and the place looked cleaner. The staff were friendly and fast. I definitely have to come back to try their green tea cheesecake and mille crepe cake, they all looked so good! read more

The line is always out the door but as soon as you walk into the bakery, you're hit with the wonderful smell of rows of Portuguese egg tarts laid on the counter behind the cashier.

The line moves by quickly so don't be deterred and they also have other types of pastries like red bean buns and pineapple buns too. read more

Ordered: Portuguese Egg Tart ($1.50), Castella ($12), Golden Sponge Cake ($1.75), Triangle Cake ($1.50), Carrot Toffee Cake ($2.50) I've been on the hunt for the best egg tart and I've finally found it! Of all the egg tarts I've tried, these are by far #1. Truly lives up to the hype! The egg tarts are best enjoyed fresh, but be careful since they're piping hot! Each bite is like a warm hug. First you get the crunch of the puff pastry and then, the egg custard just melts in your mouth. If you haven't tried one, you're missing out! This is one of the few bakeries I've been to that keeps their egg tarts hot. Most bakeries just keep them in the display case, so unless they're fresh out of the oven, they're room temperature. Other than the egg tarts, my favorite pastry was the Golden Sponge Cake. So soft and fluffy, like biting into a cloud! Love that it wasn't too sweet. I wasn't a fan of the Triangle Cake. Although the texture was similar to the Golden Sponge Cake, the taste was slightly sweeter and the flavor was a little off. There was also a very thin layer of cream in between the two slices of cake. The Castella was also pretty good, similar to the Golden Sponge Cake, but with a more prominent egg flavor. The Carrot Toffee Cake was the only item I did not enjoy since it tasted stale. Overall, highly recommend this bakery for their delicious egg tarts, as well as their wide variety of other Asian pastries! read more

These Chinese egg tarts are delicious, but they taste eggier (is this even a word?) than the pastéis de nata (a Portuguese egg tart). Don't get me wrong, I love them both! The bakery is long, narrow, and always packed. They sell fresh bread, cakes, traditional pastries, cookies, drinks, and their famous egg tarts! Your best bet is to call in to reserve them, but I've always just walked in and was able to buy a few. It could get pretty hectic inside with people skipping lines and ordering before you, so stand your ground. The ladies that work here are not friendly at all, but they too are probably annoyed with everyone. Aside from the service and experience, the Chinese egg tarts are definitely worth all the trouble. A crunchy exterior, a smooth creamy custard, and a sweet sugar layer on top could cure any bad day. Now go grab yourself a few or a dozen and enjoy! read more

Easily one of the best dan tat (egg tart) I've had in New York. These egg tarts are super creamy, extra flaky, and large in size. Every time I make the trip to Sunset Park I make sure to pick up a box. Make sure to call early to put in your order and bring cash. This place gets hectic and busy so be prepared but it is worth the trouble. read more

If Xin Fa Bakery's Portuguese egg tarts (po tat) are even close to the ones in Macau, I'll be eating those and nothing else when I eventually visit. These egg tarts will be yummy no matter when you eat them, but if you can, have one that's freshly baked. The crust is still slightly crispy and the warm custard filling tastes especially creamy and comforting then. The top is slightly bruleed so you get that hint of caramelized sugar. This place is really popular, especially on weekends. Like other reviewers have stated, it's best to call ahead of time and reserve a box. They take requests for every half an hour. read more

Xinfa Bakery - Do I seriously need to identify this, Yelp? - Bakeries Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A truly amazing Portuguese egg tart experience. Not many places sell these types of egg tarts, but luckily Xin Fa/Lily Bloom's does! And boy do they make these well. We came here on a Sunday afternoon around 3 after dim sum at East Harbor. The lady said they would be ready in 20 mins, so we got boba first and came back. Apparently you can call and order ahead, which is what almost everyone else suggests. There were fresh egg tarts waiting, and a line already formed. BUT HOW DID EVERYONE KNOW?? It was empty when we first got there.. where did they all come from?? We managed to snatch 2 egg tarts and sat at the metal stools to enjoy them. WARM, FLAKY, RICH AND SMOOTH. The custard is not really silky like a normal egg tart, but much more eggy and soft. I also like that it's not too sweet. We were debating taking some to go but I don't think it would be as good now that we've tried it FRESHHHH. Nothing can compare. All the other bread choices looked delicious, but we didn't buy any. Maybe next time! There will DEFINITELY be a next time. even though this is SO far from UWS... read more
