I haven’t tried the famous egg tart from the legendary Golden Gate Bakery, even after marrying my roommate, who grew up in the Bay Area for more than 8 years. The custard tart from Golden Gate Bakery is $3.75, which is a little pricey, and it's not my type, so we won't revisit again.

Cash Only and the ladies are friendly...said to call them to checked .
Here goes.......Finally!!! After multiple times getting here and it being closed...last week,NO lines before 5pm...I would say...a solid 8.5 out of 10. Maybe if it came straight out of the oven..I would give it a 9...why not a 10?? Because I don't feel that I have eaten enough egg tart to be an expert ...that being said..I liked King Pineapple Egg Tart slightly better in over all ...though if you like that egg tastes..Golden Gate Bakery is slightly better...I just happened to like King's crust or outer layer more.

The hype around egg custard tart from Golden Gate Bakery is real. People patiently lined up in the weather for the chance to purchase these gems. There is no real set time when the bakery is open, nor is there anything else you can purchase at the bakery. You do not even get to enter the bakery. You know the bakery is open when the steel gates are slightly pulled apart to show the bakery door. It is cash only, therefore, be prepared ahead of time. Don't wait in line for 30 minutes to get rejected when it's your turn.
The suggested method of eating is when you get the tart. It is hot, and the crust is flaky. The crust reminds me of a croissant. The tart has a nice sweetness that is not overwhelming. I do taste a hint of eggs, but no tartness. It was good in my books and I would eat again.
If in SF, give it a whirl if you have time. The hype is iconic in its own rights, and the tart is not bad either. Enjoy.
BTW, I had a few leftover that I put in the refrigerator, and the next day, I warmed them in the microwave for 20 secs. Enough to warm the custard and not make the crust soft. The tart was still good.

Fresh egg tart. They open at 1 pm. I came by around 2 and there was a line. Took about 20 ish min. Worth the wait (if you have the time). Cash only.
On vacation again for 3-4 weeks as of Dec 3rd 2024. This is my second attempt far from Hong Kong for this golden egg tart. Hopefully will get it in my future 3rd attempt….

I complain about their unpredictable business hours but do like the egg tarts. Transactions are super easy, too. Wait is usually 15-20 minutes. If the store is open, that is…

Ok, I had heard a lot about this egg tart, and I was skeptical. But I have finally tried it, and it’s the best non-Portuguese-style egg tart* you’ll have in your life (*must be consumed immediately while hot). Perfect custard, perfect flaky crust. $3.75 for one; $45 for 12 as of 10/11/24. (So no discount, and I wouldn’t recommend getting 12 unless your group eats them immediately.) No line ~5pm on a Friday
