  1. 1 Jim's BakeryGold-standard Hong Kong and Portuguese tarts since 1992 Monterey ParkSan Gabriel Valley Walk-in only

    Family-run Monterey Park strip-mall bakery open since 1992. Hong Kong-style tarts have a velvety filling and rich crust; the PO (Portuguese) tarts have blistered tops and a very thin shell. Both critics and Time Out call it the benchmark.

  6. 6 NaiSnow Tea and BakeryBrittle-shelled caramel egg tarts, sold in a line🛵 San GabrielSan Gabriel Valley Walk-in onlyOrder on DoorDash

    San Gabriel branch of a Southeast Asian tea-and-bakery chain. The caramel egg tarts disappear fast: shards of layered crust around an eggy, barely sweet blistered custard. Expect a line that moves quickly.
