Lord Stow's Bakery Main Store

“A visit to Lord Stow’s Bakery in Coloane is a cherished ritual. The quiet queue, the warm box of a dozen tarts—it’s a pilgrimage for the senses. That first bite is pure bliss: the audibly crisp, flaky pastry shatters to reveal a wobbly, rich custard with its signature caramelized top. Yet, this time, the experience was beautifully bittersweet. The familiar flavour instantly transported me back to a pastry shop in Portugal, a reward after completing the Camino last year. While Lord Stow's version is slightly richer and creamier than the classic pastél de nata, it evoked the same profound comfort. It’s not a perfect replica, but until I can return to Portugal, this is the most delicious and worthy tribute—a sweet, warm mouthful that vividly remembers a journey from a year ago.”

“The place gets very crowded, chaotic, and confusing and I do recommend going there earlier in a day so you don't end up waiting in a large queue. The Egg Tarts are really nice though!”

“I could smell it before I even entered. It may have a long line but the staff are so quick and efficient in packing your egg tarts up such that the line moves so fast.”

“One of the better Portuguese egg tarts that I have eaten. Crispy skin that's not too thick with a well balanced egg custard”

“Of course I had to try the OG of the tart. Tried their branch at Venetian Macau and also the original shop at Coloane since 'netizens' say they taste different. Tarts at both venues taste the same to me. And oh, yes, this is my #1 rank. Gosh... It was so good! Flaky pastry, buttery, warm, creamy egg custard with the just right amount of sweetness. The egg custard has the right consistency too and stays put even after one bite (compared to Margaret's)”
