The sourdough egg tart has become Hong Kong's most argued-about pastry, and the bakeries below have logged over 7,000 reviews between them fighting over it. Ratings run from 4.4 up to a perfect 5, and the gap between the busiest name and the smallest is enormous: one shop alone has racked up 3,201 reviews, more than six times the quietest bakery on this list. That gap is the story here as much as the flaky pastry is.
Short answer: Bakehouse (Wan Chai) is the safest first stop, with 4.4 stars across 3,201 reviews and a menu that goes well beyond the famous sourdough egg tart into a full brunch. For a smaller, near-perfect record, Sugar Brothers hk holds a flawless 5.0 from 478 reviews in Jordan. Expect to spend roughly HK$50-150 per person depending on what you order.

Bakehouse (Wan Chai)
4.4★★★★★3,201 Google reviews
Bakehouse is chef Grégoire Michaud's artisanal bakery group, built on sourdough and fine pastries since he opened a wholesale operation in 2013 before bringing it to a Wan Chai shopfront. The Wan Chai branch has grown into a full brunch spot, serving fresh-baked pastries alongside hot dishes like sourdough waffles and mala fried chicken. It's known citywide for its sourdough take on the classic Hong Kong egg tart, using a flaky sourdough crust instead of the usual shortcrust.
What people praise
- Sourdough egg tart consistently singled out as a standout, even by visitors who've tried the originals in Lisbon
- Brunch menu adds real variety beyond pastries, including hot dishes
- Staff repeatedly praised as friendly and quick with recommendations
- Popular enough that lines form early, which reviewers read as a good sign
Worth knowing
- Morning lines can run long, especially for dine-in brunch seating

Our take: The highest review count on this list by a wide margin, and the rating holds up at 4.4 across all of it. If you only try one bakery in Hong Kong, this is the least risky pick.

Bakehouse
4.5★★★★★2,297 Google reviews
This is Bakehouse's Central branch, the original neighborhood shop from the same team behind the Wan Chai location, serving the same sourdough-forward menu of egg tarts, croissants, and pastries in the heart of Soho. It runs a tighter, coffee-shop-style space compared to the brunch-heavy Wan Chai branch.
What people praise
- Sourdough croissants called out repeatedly as crisp outside, soft and buttery inside
- Egg tart described as a modern twist that holds its own against the classic Portuguese version
- Line moves quickly even when it looks long from outside
Worth knowing
- Small shop with limited seating, so most visits are takeaway

Our take: A slightly higher rating than the Wan Chai branch on a smaller but still substantial review base. Central's convenience for tourists and office workers makes this the pick if you're already in that part of the city.

+Bread Bakery
4.8★★★★★632 Google reviews

What people praise
- Wide flavor range, particularly praised for matcha and black sesame bakes
- Considered a healthier bakery option, with low-oil and low-sugar recipes
- Convenient location inside Langham Place mall
Worth knowing

Our take: The 4.8 rating is strong, but it sits on a noticeably smaller base of reviews than the two Bakehouse branches above it, and at least one detailed recent review flagged a decline. Worth a visit if bagels and better-for-you bakes are what you're after.

Sugar Brothers hk
5.0★★★★★478 Google reviews
Sugar Brothers is a Jordan cake and pastry shop that has built a loyal following almost entirely on word of mouth, judging by how often reviewers call it a discovery rather than a destination. It's known for its egg tarts, described by more than one reviewer as the best they've had anywhere, plus a rotating range of pastries including a pistachio egg tart and sourdough shokupan.
What people praise
- Flawless 5.0 rating with almost no negative reviews at all
- Egg tarts repeatedly called out as better than well-known competitors, including Bakehouse itself
- Owner and staff personally thank reviewers and clearly engage with the shop's regulars
Worth knowing
- No seating area, so it's takeaway only
- Popular items like egg tarts can sell out if you arrive late in the day

Our take: A perfect rating across nearly 500 reviews is rare, and the review text backs it up with specific, enthusiastic detail rather than generic praise. It ranks below the two Bakehouse branches only on sheer volume, not quality.

Marouf & Puff Bake
4.6★★★★★578 Google reviews
Marouf & Puff Bake is a small Tsim Sha Tsui bakery known among reviewers for catering to Muslim customers and for its savory twist on the Hong Kong egg tart, most notably a corned beef version alongside the usual sourdough and biscoff varieties. It's a takeaway-style shop with a wide display of puffs and tarts rather than a sit-down cafe.
What people praise
- Corned beef egg tart called out as a genuinely different, well-balanced savory option
- Prices described as fair for the Tsim Sha Tsui tourist area
- Wide variety of puffs and tarts on display
Worth knowing
- A couple of reviewers wished tarts were served warm rather than at room temperature
- Very limited seating, mostly standing tables

Our take: The newest and smallest review base on this list, but the 4.6 rating is solid and the reviews read as genuinely enthusiastic about a menu that stands apart from the others with its savory options.

Claim this spot › How we rank these
Rating is each bakery’s live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers have actually left a review, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence blends the two, so a high rating on a small sample counts for less than the same rating backed by thousands of reviews. Recency checks how recently people are still leaving reviews, since a shop can change fast. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

- Is there seating, or is it takeaway only?

- Do they offer vegan or low-sugar options if that matters to you?
- Is the shop cash-only or does it take cards?
