Xin Fa Bakery

Sunset Park, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

Xin Fa Bakery is a bustling Chinese bakery in Brooklyn's Chinatown, renowned for its Hong Kong-style baked goods. The bakery is particularly celebrated for its Portuguese-style egg tarts, which draw long lines of customers eager for freshly baked treats. It's a place where the aroma of sugar, eggs, and milk fills the air, offering a taste of authentic Cantonese and Western-influenced pastries.

★ The Legend
Signature Egg Tarts (Pastéis de Nata)
These Portuguese-style egg tarts feature a thick, creamy, and jiggly custard filling encased in a layered, yielding crust that's heavy for its size. They are baked fresh throughout the day, often served hot out of the oven, with a distinct blackened, caramelized top.
◆ Fan Favorite
Pineapple Bun (Bo Lo Bao)
This Hong Kong signature snack is a fluffy, sweet bun topped with a crispy, sugary crust that resembles a pineapple, though it contains no actual pineapple. Regulars often enjoy it with a slab of butter tucked inside, a popular variation that enhances its rich flavor.
◇ Hidden Gem
Wife Cake (Lou Po Beng)
Most first-timers gravitate towards the egg tarts, but regulars know to seek out the Wife Cake, a classic Cantonese pastry with a soft, flaky crust and a sweet, often winter melon-based, filling. This traditional treat offers a delicate sweetness and a unique texture that stands apart from the more common buns and tarts.
Insider Tip

Go early in the morning or on a slightly less busy day to catch the egg tarts right as they come out of the oven; the high turnover means they're usually hot and fresh, but getting them at peak warmth is a game-changer. Also, consider getting a box of six egg tarts, as they are meant to be enjoyed within an hour for the best experience, and it's hard to stop at just one.
