Hong Kong is a paradise for food lovers, especially those with a sweet tooth. From buttery French pastries to traditional Cantonese desserts, the city offers an incredible variety of treats that are worth the wait. Whether you’re craving a freshly baked sourdough egg tart, a flaky croissant, or a refreshing mango sago, there’s something for everyone. In this guide, I’ve rounded up some of the best spots to satisfy your dessert cravings, featuring well-loved bakeries, Michelin-recommended gems, and iconic tea houses.
Bakehouse Hong Kong – A Must-Try for Pastry Lovers
With multiple locations across Hong Kong, Bakehouse has become a go-to spot for artisanal pastries and baked goods. Best known for its sourdough egg tarts, featuring a perfectly flaky crust and rich custard filling, this bakery attracts long lines daily. Despite the wait, the affordable price ($12 HKD per tart / $2.42 AUD) and top-notch quality make it worth it. I visited the Tsim Sha Tsui branch, located at 44 Hankow Rd, which is open 8 AM – 9 PM daily, making it a great stop for a delicious treat anytime.
Gontran Cherrier Artisan Boulangerie – Home of the Best Croissants
Located at K11 Musea (Level B2), Gontran Cherrier Artisan Boulangerie is a must-visit for pastry lovers, offering some of the best croissants in Hong Kong. This famous French bakery, founded by renowned baker Gontran Cherrier, is known for its perfectly flaky, buttery croissants and a wide selection of artisanal breads and pastries.
With an affordable price range, it’s a great spot for a quick breakfast, an afternoon treat, or a light bite while exploring K11 Musea. The opening hours are 9 AM – 9 PM on weekdays and 10 AM – 9 PM on public holidays, so plan your visit accordingly. Expect high-quality ingredients, authentic French flavours, and a true taste of Paris in the heart of Hong Kong!
Kai Kai Dessert – A Michelin-Recognized Cantonese Dessert Gem
Kai Kai Dessert, a Michelin-recommended Cantonese dessert shop in Jordan, Hong Kong, has been serving traditional sweet treats for over 40 years. Known for its silky black sesame paste with glutinous rice balls ($35 HKD / $6.80 AUD) and refreshing mango & pomelo sago ($39 HKD / $7.65 AUD), this spot is loved for its freshly prepared ingredients and rich flavours. Ordering is simple via a QR code, and they accept both cash and card. With upstairs and downstairs seating, the shop gets busy, so expect a wait and bring your own tissues as they don’t provide it. While service is fast but minimal, the authentic flavours and affordable prices make it worth the visit. Open 12 PM – 1 AM daily, it’s perfect for a late-night dessert fix! 🍮🍧

The Mong Kok branch, located at 33 Soy Street, is open daily from 12 PM – 10:45 PM, offering delicious, freshly made waffles at an affordable price (around $25 HKD per waffle / $5 AUD). Whether you go for a classic original or an adventurous flavour twist, Mammy Pancake is the perfect spot for a sweet, satisfying street food treat!
Snowy Savor – Fresh & Fruity Mochi Delights in Hong Kong
Nestled in Causeway Bay at Lucky Court, Electric Rd, Snowy Savor is a hidden gem best known for its mango mochi, made with real, fresh fruit for a naturally sweet and juicy bite. Offering a variety of flavours, including Lychee, Durian & Pomelo Mochi ($25 HKD each / $5 AUD), this spot is perfect for those craving light and refreshing desserts. While it’s a bit out of the city, it’s worth the trip for high-quality handmade mochi. Open 11 AM – 9 PM daily, expect to spend around $50 HKD ($10 AUD) per visit for a satisfying treat. If you love fresh fruit-based sweets, Snowy Savor is a must-try! 🍡🥭
