Customer Reviews

Stories from the line.

"Couldn't wait to sink our teeth into these amazing egg tarts, freshly baked. After years of waiting to get them again, these egg tarts are still just as eggy, custardy, warm, flaky, and delicious as ever."

LLyndy

"A San Francisco classic. Undeniably the best egg tart I've had in my life. After standing in line, eat your egg tart while it's still steaming hot. Absolutely worth the wait."
