Good pastel de nata. Pao de deus was pillowy soft and what seemed to be topped with coconut?

The egg tarts were mediocre. The nata milk tea was very diluted.

Absolutely delicious Portuguese tart—wobbly custard with that perfect jiggle and a flaky buttery crust. It was fresh from the oven, and really satisfying as a takeaway treat. I’m also recommending the Nata Latte! Definitely ordering again!

I swung by on a hot summer afternoon and grabbed a few goodies along with their Iced Nata Milk Tea. The Pastel de Nata (HK$14 each) – The crust is everything you want: golden, impossibly flaky, and shatters with each bite. You can hear the crunch when you bite into it. (Caution! Hot Filling!!!) The filling is silky and creamy, with the sweetness dialled back just enough – a thoughtful nod to Hong Kong palates. It's rich but not cloying, and the caramelised top adds that perfect hint of bitterness to balance it all. A well-made Portuguese tart, plain and simple. Bonus: there are canisters of cinnamon powder and icing sugar at the counter, so you can customise it to your own taste – a nice touch. The Iced Nata Milk Tea (HK$45) – This was a pleasant surprise. Creamy, not too sweet, with a subtle custard-like richness that paired beautifully with the tart. On a humid day in Central, this combination was exactly what I needed. Also tried – The Pão de Deus (HK$25) , literally translated as "God's Bread", draws inspiration from Hong Kong's beloved local coconut buns, reimagined with a delicate coconut filling and a layer of nata custard. The bun has a soft, pillowy texture that's lightly sweet – a solid alternative if you want something different from the tart. I also tried the Plain Portuguese Croissant Brioche (HK5) . The brioche itself is light and buttery – more substantial than a classic croissant but still airy. The Nata Cream version adds an extra layer of custard richness that elevates it further. If you're debating, spring for the cream. Freshness matters – and so does timing – Tarts are baked in batches throughout the day (10am, 12pm, 2pm, 4pm, 6pm), and they sell out quickly. I'd recommend timing your visit around those batch times to avoid disappointment – especially if you're making a trip specifically for them. The open kitchen lets you watch the baker at work, which adds to the experience. The space – Small and intimate, with seating for about 8 and standing room for a few. It's more grab-and-go than sit-down, but the counter views make it feel personal.
