Lord Stow’s Egg Tart Review at The Londoner Macao: Location, Price, and Wait Time
One of the most delicious and most popular things to eat in Macau
is Lord Stow’s, the city’s iconic egg tart brand.
In the Cotai area, it used to feel like
the branch inside The Venetian Macao
was the only convenient option, but the Venetian location
is currently under renovationand is set to reopen in March,
so nowa brand-new shop has opened at The Londoner Macao!
I’m including the Google Maps location too.
Where to Find Lord Stow’s at The Londoner Macao
The hotel is huge and has multiple entrances,
and since everyone probably arrives from a different direction,
I’ll explain it using the famous photo spots as landmarks.
On the first floor of The Londoner Macao, where the guard-changing ceremony takes place,
head in from the main lobby toward Tim Ho Wan
and you’ll spot this teacup photo zone.
Walk a little farther and
you’ll quickly see the carriage photo spot too.
Right across from the carriage,
there’s a sign pointing to Lord Stow’s.
Take the escalator in the photo up to the second floor
and you’ll find it right away—
Lord Stow’s at The Londoner Macao.
The space is actually pretty big, and at first there didn’t seem to be many people,
so I thought, wait, has word not gotten out yet?
But that section was actually
the dining area for brunch and full meals, and next to it
there’s a separate café selling egg tarts and bread.
If you’re here for the egg tarts, just follow the arrow.
The dining area and café are connected, though.
There were definitely quite a few people gathered in front of the café.
Lord Stow’s Egg Tart Prices
I did take a photo of the menu,
but of course
the egg tart prices were the one part blocked by a light fixture.
1 tart is 13 MOP, 4 tarts are 52 MOP,
6 tarts are 75 MOP, and 12 tarts are 150 MOP.
For cookie and chocolate pie prices, check the photo.
They also sell teddy bear plushies,
along with a nice variety of other baked goods.
Croissants, canelés, sponge cake, cookies—you name it.
But almost everyone in line
was buying only the egg tarts.
Has anyone tried the other pastries at Lord Stow’s?
Are they good too?
You can also see the baking area behind the counter,
and since it’s open to view, it’s fun to watch
and reassuring from a cleanliness standpoint too.
It honestly feels like a full-on egg tart factory.
The Londoner Macao Lord Stow’s Wait Time
When we went, there were
around 15 people waiting, but from lining up to ordering
to actually getting the egg tarts, it took only about 5 minutes.
And even that line
disappeared a little later, so people were able to buy them right away.
The only downside is that
there aren’t that many seats inside the café,
so I think a lot of people end up getting them to go.
We got lucky and found
a table for four, so we ate ours there.
Since we were eating them right away, we got them like this,
but if you buy a lot, or order in sets of 4, 6, or 12, they’ll pack them in a box.
Ours had clearly just been baked,
and the Lord Stow’s egg tarts were still warm.
Compared with other brands,
these were definitely softer, moister, and more delicious.
That said, for some reason,
the Lord Stow’s I had in Osaka, Japan somehow tasted even better than the Macau branches.
If you’re heading to Osaka, definitely stop by Lord Stow’s in Dotonbori—it’s ridiculously good.
I’m sure it varies a bit by day of the week and time of day,
but the wait usually doesn’t seem too bad.
Since Cotai is an area most travelers visit anyway in Macau,
and this shop is inside The Londoner Macao, it’s super easy to access—
definitely one of the best egg tart spots in Macau.
