About

The matcha flavor here is often described as having a subtle bitterness with a tart taste that many note as quite distinct. Several flag the Mini Cheese Tarts as particularly delightful; their creamy texture is appreciated whether enjoyed cold or at room temperature. However, some find the portion size to be on the smaller side and suggest buying more than one for better value. The Original Flavor cheesecake-style tarts are also highly praised for their similarity to traditional offerings. While the matcha options draw many in with their unique taste profiles, others report the tarts can sometimes have a firmer crust that contrasts with the soft filling, leading to an unbalanced bite. Despite these minor drawbacks, the friendly service and excellent customer support are consistently highlighted. The store's convenient kerbside pickup is also appreciated by those looking for a quick treat without entering the bustling interior space. Parking in Chinatown can be challenging due to heavy traffic, but this does not deter many from making their way through the narrow streets for Pinklady Cheese Tart’s delectable offerings. With an average price of $2.75 per tart, some find it slightly pricey for the quantity received, while others still consider it a worthwhile experience.
