There is a clear distinction between cultures here so when leaving a review for an establishment that's outside of your usual norm you have to understand that what you expect and what they deliver might differ based on cultural norm. That being said knowing the culture of Lily Bloom, I want to state that aside from the language barrier. The food is fantastic.. We are speaking on a quick run and run out bakery level that has mediocre coffee but honey lemon iced tea out of this world, Portuguese, egg tart, and some other great bakery items to each their own not going to list everything. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite. It's conveniently located by my house so I have the luxury of coming here often. 9/10 highly suggest to try if you're around and like this kind of cuisine

Portugese egg tarts... warm, fresh +melt in your mouth... simple + yummy -they're only ready after 9am though

Suuuper packed place and very chaotic but the Portuguese egg tarts are so good especially when you first get them. The custard filling is light and the crust is soft and flaky, but holds the dessert in place.

Our friend brought us half dozen Portuguese eggs tarts all the way to Queens. She's so sweet to carried it over 1.5hrs train ride to Queens. She endured crowded train and bus ride and arrived beautifully in a non crushed state. We lightly warm in our toaster oven. Super yummy even for the next morning.

My go to spot for Portuguese tarts. Half a dozen cost $10.50. Super thick and and buttery! Yummy There can be a long line however it moves pretty quickly. Most of the freshly baked bread is behind a table and you tell a staff what type of bread you want and they pack it for you to pay at the counter.

You come here for their famous egg tarts. Every Chinese bakery fanatic I've encountered comes here for their egg tarts only. The secret in their egg tarts that makes its texture so addictive is they add cream. Sinfully delicious and the only chain that offers egg tarts this way. Granted I don't take pictures of the tarts because I live literally 10 minutes away from this place. The amount of times I've eaten from here, I should be hitting the gym twice weekly. Sometimes you just have to show self control for things this good. Their other desserts are amazing as well - the lemon coconut flake buns, the Japanese loaf cheesecake, mango sagos and braised raisin buns. I also come here for their iced coffee milk tea (this I remember to take a picture of). Before the pandemic, they allowed customers to go to the sweets station and get a closer look at the goods. But now they closed it off and the servers can only roam there to service everyone. Tips for customers: Show up early when you can to get those egg tarts, they do run out. And if the day is still early and you don't see any egg tarts on display, just wait for the servers to bring out a fresh batch to restock. They're always cooking the egg tarts round the clock since this is their popular item to push. Be prepared to bring more cash than anticipated. This bakery does charge more than your usual Chinese bakery as it is above scale. Bon appetit.

I've been to Xinfa bakery in sunset and had no idea this location is the same owner. LOVE their Portuguese egg tarts. Definitely wish this place was closer to where I live. I got a HK style milk tea that wasn't too sweet (perfect for me), a Portuguese egg tart (super creamy texture that somehow is able to hold it's form), and a sponge triangle shape cake for the next day (which was nice and fluffy). A good variety for everyone who walks in, except for the lady who wanted a croissant - sorry, no croissants here. I do wish they made protocols for indoor dining. The beauty of these bakeries for me is that they used to be an awesome space to get a quick bite or wait for a friend. Having said that, it'd probably wouldn't be up to standards since I can't imagine every grandma walking in would abide by it, which is why it doesn't exist currently. As much as you want to social distance, you just gotta come when it's not busy. Seniors are just gonna cut in line like you don't exist (lol). Know what you want when you get up to the counter and you're good to go!
