Serious Eats

The best place to get a 'Dan Tat '. The shell is so flaky & tender, and the egg custard filling is so smooth & silky. They are always fresh from the oven because they sell so quickly. Read more

Best egg tarts in the city . Long lines . Always check "is-the-golden-gate-bakery-open-today.com" to make sure you won't be disappointed when you get there.

Eater

If you can catch them while they're open (a highly variable proposition), Golden Gate's dan tat are about as good as they get: flaky, creamy, buttery, generally to die for. Read more

Mike Winston

Seriously, you need to get the Egg Custard Tart . It's the best, freshest, most-savory version of this eggy little pie that I've ever had. Delicious. Read all about it on WinstonWanders below! Read more

Luke Bornheimer

Egg tarts are rich, creamy and indulgent—Best straight out of the oven; Still great after an hour or so commute to a party. Coconut tarts are equally delicious. You need to get 4+ items to get a box.

Lingy Mai

I was skeptical about how good people say the egg tart was , I mean I've had my fair share of egg tarts in my life times, and the ones here didn't disappoint me ! Go for the egg tarts !!!

Sherry Li

Long ass wait because people literally walk away with dozens of everything. But the egg tart is worth it. Coconut macaroons are good too.

Rosalind Peppy

Egg custard is the best anywhere hands down!!! Their egg is hot and super creamy and almost liquidy. So warm and excellent. Not too sweet, and super large!!!

jansen c

There’s about 40% chance they are open, check online first before heading there!

Andrew Lam

Egg custard tarts that are almost as good as the ones in Hong Kong. Short of hopping a flight there, this is the place to get them.

Jack Osborne

Lets be real, we both know why you came here. Pineapple pie is worth a pick up if they have it too.

John (aka “PHATFoodFan”)

Known for their egg custard , it’s a premium at $2.50 each but a nice splurge. Get two because one is not enough!

Foodspotting

The egg custard tarts here are the best & rival those found in Hong Kong. It’s worth the wait to get a hold of these buttery delicious treats. Just don’t make the mistake of only getting one! - Fiona

Ting S

Go check their website before you desperately in need of their "Dan Ta"(egg tart ) and climb all the way to the hill and cry out on the street. Yes, they always CLOSE.

Courtney Sorensen

The place to go for egg custard tarts ... went on Christmas day and the line was out the door to the next storefront. When they say "The Best in Town ", they mean it.

Karen

Hands down, the best egg tarts I've ever had. Must eat them hot!

Afro lynne

This stuff is like crack (not that I’ve every try it b4) it’s life changing good and worth the wait

Suraj Acharya

The custard tarts are famous, and deservedly so. Don't miss the red bean cake , coconut tarts and melon cakes .

Prakash Nair

The hype over these tarts is real. Absolute perfection.

An Sheng

For large orders, you can call in and order ahead. If you’re lucky, they might even know when they’ll be open!

Allison Yu

Egg tarts are obviously the best thing here but their coconut macaroons are also mind-blowingly good

Christiana Bau

Service was so nice; Loved everything here. Egg tarts were delicious!

Tendelle Sheu

Getting a dozen may seem cheaper but if you calculate it its the same price.

Daniel L.

If you don't know what an egg custard tart is, join the line and know its worth the wait. Unless you don't like eggs ...

Holly Shollenberger Whell

Don't miss the fortune cookie bakery on Ross Alley - no lines

SFGate

The egg tart : it's warm, it's creamy, it's crumbly, it's a dollar and sixty cents. Read more

Roger Ma

Up to par with egg tarts found in HK!

Paul

Everyone raves about the egg custard tarts . They have a certain charm, but also get a custard bun--you might like it better.

Terry

After years of attempts, finally caught them not on vacation or when the line was wildin. Hella good.

Jackson Shih

Of course the egg custard is perfect. But don't overlook the curry chicken bun for a savory taste!

Julia Thio

luv the egg custard and chicken pie :-). sometime they are closed so call ahead

Cash only . No photos! Seriously. So worth it. Buy extra egg tarts for later.
