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.

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)

One of three locations on various sides of this one cluster of buildings. This one seems the busiest, so if you don't find luck here then circle the block and maybe you'll have better luck at one of the others! Come here for the egg tarts. That's what made Lord Stow famous, and not without good reason. These are delicious. The crust/shell is extremely buttery and because of that, a bit on the salty side. The egg custard is balanced well - not too bland and not overly sweet. Truly a taste of modern Macau that touches on Macau's history under the Portuguese. Worth the trip here if you're in the neighborhood!

Back to Hong Kong Trip 2025🇭🇰 Macau Day Trip🇲🇴 Lord Stow’s Bakery is famous for its “Portuguese” Egg Tarts, the Andrew’s Egg Tarts. Fresh and yummy.

First time visiting the main store. Eggtart still taste very good. Have many other pastry to choose. I visited on a Thursday around 12pm. Not too crowded.

You can tell that the Egg tarts are made with love. They taste different to the other ones on the market. You can taste the rich flavour of the egg in the tart and there is a nice balance of sweetness and flavour.
