  I came here during the off hours, so around 2-3pm. I didn't expect much good customer service or anything considering that all I came for was the Portuguese egg tarts. I thought it was quite pricey that one egg tart was $1.35, but after tasting one I found out why. The egg filling is thick and very filling, which to some people is a good thing, but for me it was too much. The tart is crispy and has the happy medium between soft and hard. Would go back again considering that they had a good amount of Portuguese egg tarts at the hour.

  I'm on the hunt for a decent Chinese bakery, so I stopped by this place since it seemed super busy, there was a big selection of buns, and there were ads showing off their fresh Portuguese tarts.  I had really high hopes for this place, so I bought 5 things to try: taro bun, pineapple bun, brown sugar steamed rice cupcake with red beans （缽仔糕）, Portuguese tart, and a cocktail bun.
  
  Starting off with the buns - I gotta say, they were hands down the worst buns I've ever had.  They were hard, dense, and when I bit through them, you could see how solid it was.  I really doubt that the buns I got were fresh - it seriously seemed like it was at least 3 days old.  Even when I have fresh bakery goods bagged up overnight on my counter - they are still softer than the buns I got from this place.  All 3 were almost inedible.  
  
  The rice cupcake didn't seem to have the right chewy texture.  Its supposed to have a bit of bite to it, but this one just mushed apart in my mouth.
  
  As for these famous Portuguese tarts - maybe mine was overcooked? But when I cut into it, the egg custard seemed more on the stiff side, not silky smooth.
  
  I really didn't want to give them 1 star, but each item I bought failed miserably.

  I used to get the breads here more often, but after trying breads from other Chinatown bakeries, the food here just can't compare. Their sponge cake is much sweeter and not as bouncy as those of other bakeries. However, they have a large selection of breads such as lemon and taro, which are my favorite whenever I do come here. They also have whole roll cakes for $7 that come in a variety of flavors, including green tea, vanilla, chocolate, and a few more. There are many savory buns as well, which I have yet to try.
  
  I like coming here because it is in a less crowded area of Chinatown and so it does not seem to be as packed as the other bakeries around. Double Crispy Bakery is worth one try for the many Chinese delicacies it has to offer, but there are other bakeries that you can find that offer the same.

  This bakery has the best egg tarts! Their Portuguese style egg tarts are so delicious. I also really like their shredded dry pork buns. Highly recommend. Also very inexpensive! This is definitely one of the more authentic Chinese bakeries there are many Chinese grandmas here having their milk teas and buns!

  Not gonna lie--their staff IS a little rude, even to a Canto-speaking (albeit ABC) patron! But I guess ya gotta grow some thick skin and struggle a bit for authenticity. In spite of the less-than-warm welcome, I took home a sponge cake, a pineapple bun and a coconut (cocktail) bun for a few dollars. That's what I love most about Chinatown bakeries--they're all so cheap! Because I was stuffed from lunch, I took the breads home and enjoyed them the next day. When reheated in a toaster oven, they tasted just as good as if they were just baked. The crumbly, flaky crust on the pineapple bun had just the right amount of sweetness. The cocktail bun was loaded with shredded coconut. The sponge cake was ultra fluffy and brought me back to my youth. They made for the perfect tea time treat. In addition to the bread case, they have lots of other baked goods as well including egg tarts, swiss rolls and cakes. They're sure to have your mooncakes when the season rolls around too. If you're looking for a classic Canto bakery, Double Crispy is it.
