Hong Kong Egg Tarts and Almond Tuiles in Sunset Park
This Brooklyn bakery blends Hong Kong classics with Western treats, from flaky egg tarts to buttery pecan shortbread.
Why this stop works ✨
Baker Wah works a corner of Eighth Avenue in Sunset Park, Brooklyn's Chinatown, blending Hong Kong bakery classics with a few Western treats. The daily bake runs from flaky egg tarts to buttery pecan shortbread, chocolate shortbread, and thin almond tuile cookies.
Past the sweets there are savory buns, sandwiches, and fresh bread, which makes it as much a quick lunch stop as a pastry run. Everything stays affordable and the counter is kept clean and orderly. Prices low enough to over-order are half the reason regulars fill a whole box on the way through.
At 4.8 stars across a small count of 13 reviews, the early crowd already rates it near the top. Get there while the egg tarts are warm, add the pecan shortbread and a couple of savory buns for the road, and plan to come back for the bread.
