Xinfa Bakery
5617 8th Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“This beloved Brooklyn bakery is famous for its Portuguese pastel de nata, massive egg tarts with impossibly creamy centers that sell out so fast customers grab them straight from the oven before they even hit the display case. The velvety custard and light, crispy crust have earned devoted fans who swear these are among the best they've ever had, though you'll want to arrive early and eat them warm to experience them at their peak. It's the kind of chaotic, no-frills spot where the line moves fast but the payoff—a $1.75 bite of pure comfort—makes it worth the wait.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. Quick-grab spot. Pastries on the menu.

Everyone comes here for the pastel de nata (Portuguese egg tarts). Theirs are huge with a super velvety and creamy center. They make for the best dessert and/or snack.
$1.75 egg tarts that are sooooo delicious. Best eaten warm and on the spot. I got some to go and the warmth of the egg tart in the to go bag made it a bit wet and mushy but that’s my error. So many other tasty looking pastries, but you MUST get the egg tart. 10/10
I’ve ate a lot of egg tarts in my life but this is the best egg tart I’ve ever had (not exaggerating). Come early if you want a box of them or any, they sell out fast. Lines for this place is always long so prepare to wait for 15-20+ minutes.
Come for the egg tarts. Customers were leaving with boxes, and they didn’t even make it to the display case because they were selling so fast. It's chaotic in there with staff weaving through the lines with boxes and trays of baked goods. I think this may have been the best egg…
COME FOR THE EGG TARTS! I’ve grown up eating all kinds of egg tarts and these are by far one of the top contenders for best egg tarts. They have a nice light crust but with a dense thick soft custard-like egg filling. For whatever reason they taste a bit bland coming directly…
