Sino has nice cream puffs and other Asian desserts, and it's great to see a business thriving in Cole Harbour that isn't offering pizza and poutine. I think anyone who hasn't been should give them a try.However, i contest that their egg tarts are not authentic portuguese egg tarts, but a fusion between chinese Dan Taat, with the custard a bit more closely resembling a pastel de nata.Unfortunately, the 'portuguese egg tarts' much more closely resemble a chinese Dan Taat pastry, which are good in their own right, but different in very important ways from a portuguese Pastel de Nata.1: the shell is very different between the two, a pastel de nata in portuguese style is much flakier and crispier, and not chewy AT ALL.2: the custard in a pastel de nata is very creamy and has a sweet/cinnamon taste that goes very well with the flaky pastry. the egg tarts here at sino have a custard more closely resembling the chinese (macanese) variation.3: heatTraditional pastel de natas require a very hot oven to get cooked quickly enough not to dry out. I am not sure how hot the ovens are at Sino, but from the finished product, i assume they are not as hot as is used in a traditional portuguese padaria.

Sino pastry shop cole harbor road. The best French pasty strawberry cream puff ever!!! The pastel de nata was awesome as well. My first time there but will definitely go back!

Amazing place, I am lucky to have this place in my neighbourhood. Very exclusive bakery, Puffs and éclairs are so light and fresh, not too sweet, but taste soooo good. Always buy something here when have a party. And everyone asks where did I get these yummy ones ?
Amazing cream puff and eclairs at amazing prices!! Absolutely delicious and looking forward to making sure it’s a weekly visit!

Honestly amazing. Service is always so friendly. Steamed buns and cream puffs (and everything else we have had here) are absolutely amazing!

I had a good experience on both my visits. Their cream puffs were good with light cream. The buns were soft and good. The eclairs were okay. The egg tart crust was too thick and not the same as the Portuguese egg tart I had previously. I wish the bakery was a bit closer to my home.

It’s a good thing I didn’t know about this place sooner or I’d easily have gained 100 pounds! It’s SOOOOO GOOD! bought some chocolate eclairs for me and the kids, the cream isn’t like a whipped cream, it’s almost like a custard cream. It was phenomenal! I also got the iced milk boba tea, it was also really good. Plan to try the Portuguese egg tarts the next time as I hear those are to die for. Highly recommend this place.

This is my favourite bakery, everything I have tried from there has been excellent! I highly recommend the Portuguese tarts, the cream puffs, the taro bread and the sweet potato bread. They are delicious!
