This 'vintage-looking' bakery has some of the best Portuguese egg tarts I've had in NYC! It was fluffy, creamy, and flaky! The custard itself feels smooth and light as air! Yum! You have to try the Traditional-style Portuguese egg tart among everything else.
Food: a large variety of egg tart flavors, something for every egg tart lover. I always get something new and some thing old. Which for me is always a Portuguese egg tart. They have a great deal so you can try as many flavors as your heart desires.
Brew: go upstairs and into the mall. There's a lot of different drinks and options you can get. My preference is to wash down my sweet egg tart with even more sugar like a bubble tea. What else is insulin good for?
Egg custards galore. We bought a whole bunch to take home to Manhattan. They have a variety as well as one with a white color. I believe it was coconut or taro. In any case, the egg custards were standard. It's good to heat up once you get home.
There is available seating inside but it's a bit crowded. Not a place you really want to stay too long.
My top destination for egg tarts(there's also another branch right by the train station around the corner from CoCo's). Fairly priced at $1.50ea, the egg tarts here are so comfortingly soft, buttery, and flaky. I always get the 4 for $5 deal, which is an extra $1 saved[
]. If a flavor attracts the attention of my taste buds, then I'll get that as well. My favorites are the Portuguese, Hong Kong, Green Tea, Lotus Seed, Mango, Sweet Potato, and Coconut egg tarts(that's almost everything). The egg tarts here are always straight out of the oven and taste best when it's piping hot and fresh. If you let it cool, then you'll be in for a soggy surprise. When the egg tarts are warm, it's like they're alive and full of energy. When the egg tarts are cold, the egg tarts taste "lifeless." The flavors and texture will still be there, but won't taste as good as when they're eaten hot/warm. Timing is important when consuming these. Try it and you'll know what I mean!
New Flushing Bakery's small emporium at the corner of Roosevelt and Main in Flushing may not be much in the way of comfort and visual attractions, but they make and sell the finest mini custard pies that I have tasted in a long time.
At 4 pies for $5, it is an excellent opportunity to try several varieties without breaking the bank. We grabbed two open stools that sat along the front window counter, ordered coffee and the custards, and watched the world go by for a few minutes as we kvelled on the uniquely light, airy, creamy, sweet, and oh so decadent pies.
The Portuguese Egg Custard is at least as good as those found in the Portuguese bakeries in Elizabeth, NJ (Maybe, they are their creators?). The Coconut is more traditionally cake-like, but carries the same subtle texture and flavor found in the Egg. The coffee itself was better than expected, strong without bitterness.
Next trip, the Mango version comes up for tasty review.
I love this place. I go routinely like every few days when I get a coffee or tea craving. I recently walked out with a box of 8 egg tarts…oh man! They were heavenly, and everyone at work was so excited to have one. Thanks New Flushing Bakery!
Awesome little bakery next to the subway stop. Grab a couple of egg custard tart before heading back to the city in the subway. I much rather prefer the Portuguese style than the Hong Kong style (too eggy) but a great stop for sweets after a long day walking in Queens.
Limited pastry selection, but doesn't matter when you have the best egg tarts around!
Portuguese Egg Custard Tart: $1.50
(Fragile – handle with care and eat it before someone else does!)
-More on the expensive side, however I haven't eaten anything like these before… I'm in love!
-Unlike the other ones I've had at other bakeries, this one has a cinnamon bite to it.
-The custard has a pudding like texture so I give you my WARNING…be careful whiling biting into this to die for goodness because you may find your shoes a new shade of yellow.
-The crust is flaky, but soft to bite into. Not too thick and quite moist.
Sponge cake 3 for $4.05
-These were nothing special and not as moist as others that I have had.
