    Menu as of 6/4/25

    It was my first time at the Pop-Up District food hall a few days ago, and The Beat caught my attention with it's large menu and simplicity. They only sell several pastry items where half of them were tarts. Since I was here an hour within closing, they do BOGO deals on their pastries, which is a win for me. I got the PORTUGUESE EGG TART (3.75) and got the HONG KONG EGG TART for the BOGO deal. Between the two, the Portuguese egg tart wins. The custard was creamier and more buttery, and the torched sugar top also made a difference. The HK egg tart was pretty mediocre. Even though the tart itself was a bit soggy (since I did get it at night time), I felt like the pastry itself could have been more flaky. Overall, solid Portuguese egg tart, but 3.75 for just a single one is pricy penny to pay.

    Learned about the diff between portugese egg tarts and hong kong egg tarts. Also learned that I like em both! Gotta come by and try!

    The workers are super nice! Is it like omg drop dead mouth watering bakery goods - i wouldn't describe them as that. They are good but some are extra dry while others are messy and fall apart after a bite. The taste isn't bad tho they are good!

    Cute pastry shop within Pop-up district. I really enjoy their egg tarts and array of chocolate, strawberry and match smashed croissants. A must if you're in the area and want a treat.

    These eggs tarts were pretty good. I liked the Portuguese one more than the Hong Kong one but they were both creamy. Surprised to see a random bakery in the new food hall that opened but all in all wouldn't mind going again if they updated the menu.

    Hong Kong themed bakery inside Pop-Up food hall at Eden Center, selling traditional Portuguese egg tarts, and their Hong Kong egg tarts cousin. I tried both, very good, with a personal preference for the Portuguese version. They also have other tarts and chocolate croissants.

    I haven't been to Eden center in a while so I was surprised to see a food hall. I had pastries at the Beat, and while the Portuguese egg tart was good, I would highly not recommend the black sesame tart. Tasted like dirt. The pastry though was at least very flaky. I wish the tarts were served a bit warm. The egg tart was still good; somewhat of a creamy inside with more emphasis on the egg and a nice flaky crust to pair along with it. Decent texture; I'm used to more creamy custard but the slightly eggy center like slightly-creamy scrambled eggs was a nice surprise.

    It was my first time trying this place. This was so good!!!!! Will definitely go back and get some more. It's not too sweet which is a big plus. Very crispy on the outside. Love the texture, taste, and its look :D

    We inhaled the other 3. Was a 6 pack

    Reminds me a bit of Na Tart in Flushing NYC. In a way I like this one better. Heftier, bigger and flakier crust. We'll be back!

    Hong Kong egg tart and Portuguese tart.

    Both were good, but the Portuguese were slightly better I guess cos it's warmer, and fresh from the oven. They also have lava tart, coconut tart, croissant and, chocolate croissant. Staff there were friendly as well.

    Had the chance to celebrate my birthday at Godfreys and it's also my first time here. The drive…read moreinto the parking lot is not for the weak as the space can be a little tight BUT once you arrived, the scenery is so pretty and the atmosphere makes me feel like i was in another country. The music was calming, the beautiful scenery and the space was a large space, way bigger than I thought! We had Diego as our waiter and staff and he's knowledgable, provide great recommendations and also helped us out with many of our requests! Now comes the food: We got a full table of delicious food. 1. The Lorraine quiche : Very crunchy outside and soft and hot with delicious filling inside. I am not a quiche girl but I deff love their quiche. 2. The trios empanahas : i am a true empanada fan and their beef empanas and the sauce mix so well together. 3. The prosciutto pizza was HUGE. Deff can feed 4 people , their crust was crispy and the pizza was not too thick so you don't get bored eating it. 4. The banana foster french toast... HEAVEN. the banana was perfectly camelize and the strawberries and berries was the perfect mix fruit with it and the portion was also huge. 5. Tres les ches Pancakes was hot, crispy but also soft and honestly my FAV out of all the dishes. 6. Wild Salmon and charred peach was an interesting salad. The salmon was cooked to perfection, still moist but a lil crunch outside and large piece . The salad dressing was perfect with it. I would love to eat this one everyday. 7. My first time for the grits. Shrimp and grits was delicious. The portion is large and shrimp was paired perfectly with the grits. I think frits will now be on my daily rotation breakfast thanks to Godfrey. 8. We got a hot matcha because we love matcha and it was delicious! Very creamy and the matcha tasted ceremonial. 9. We also got the blue ridge sandwich, it had delicious camelized onion and based on Diego's suggestion, we switched it out for the sourdough and it was delicious. Sandwich was filled inside. We asked to sit outside for lunch and brunch but you could also sit inside for cafe items like croissant , muffin and coffee. They also have rooms upstairs for big parties that can be reserved through open table. Overall, the experience was amazing and I would not be able to top this birthday brunch anytime soon!

    This place is such a winner when it comes to ambiance and food. The only downside is that it's a…read morebit pricey, and parking is limited on the weekends. Service has been pretty good in my experience! I like the avocado toast - so. much. avocado. The almond croissants are delicious too!
