Golden Gate Bakery

1029 Grant Ave
San Francisco, CA 94133

Occasion: PCW's patient always brings in goodies when she has an appointment. And I am NEVER EVER able to resist from the goodies she brings. 11.23.10


Egg Tart, Coconut Tart, Coconut Sponge Cake with flaky crust
My all time favorite would be the egg tart.  I've been coming here since they first opened; it's been over a decade! Love love love it here. Soft eggy middle with a buttery flaky crust. AMAZING. As for the coconut tart, it was actually my first time having it.  It was good and I'm surprised I've never had it before.  It has a dense cake base and in each bite, you taste the coconut shavings mixed into the cake.  The top had a hard muffin like top. I've never had the coconut sponge cake thing either.  It's kind of like a combination of the egg tart and the coconut tart.  The flaky pastry puff reminded me of a napoleon and also the crust of the egg tart.  The middle had a coconut custard like filling.  It was freaking amazing, everything from the texture to the flavor. SOOOOO freaking good, I wish I had discovered this earlier.
