I’ve never had Portuguese tarts like this- I’ve tried almost all the flavours at this point and I can’t choose a fav!! I’ve never had a chocolate custard tart before this, and it was everything I dreamed of!!

Delicious!! Creamy and not too sweet

OMG these are unlike any other custard pastry I have ever had. It’s a full stop amazing treat. Pastry is light and flaky, not standard pie crust style. The filling is warm and creamy not solid and dense.
Just get some and thank me later.

These Portuguese pastries at Joey Bats Cafe are insane !! It’s like a Crème Brûlée Croissant in one & I’m low key addicted.
I’ve put so many of my friends onto these tarts cuz they’re that GOOD.
I also get their black coffee drip and the quality is great!

I’m obsessed. The blueberry are the favorite but they’re all so good. The chocolate has the perfect amount of chocolate too. Also always love a classic!

Light 9 Pasteis de Nata. Great texture and flavor. Bc it’s mildly flavored you can really taste the cinnamon on top and it goes well with it. Nice flaky texture.
8/10 Wildberry flavor. It tastes good too but I prefer to fully taste the normal egg tart my flavor.

Really nice flavor and texture. Best I’ve had probably. Beats out Tai Osn Chinese style iirc.

Just had them at Macy's holiday market and the entire family fought over the last ones. We will be ordering more shipped to S.C.

If you love authentic Portuguese pasteis de nata then you will be thrilled to know this is where to find it in NYC! Perfect flaky crust and amazing custard filling. Just one (or two), of these and you are transported back to Lisbon and Portugal.

Joey Bats Café is one of my favorite spots for Portuguese treats! This was my first time visiting their Essex Market location. I came a bit later in the day, so the pastry I wanted was sold out, but I was still able to grab one of my favorites, the blueberry Pasteis de Nata, and as always, it was delicious. Joey Bats truly has some of the best Portuguese tart so when I find one near I always get some. The café is inside the Essex Market, with plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs.

The egg tarts are sooooo yummy. Definitely recommend all flavors: original, blueberry, and passion fruit. I heard the tarts are shipped orginally all the way from Portugal. Staff Mayara is literally angel

If you enjoy Portuguese Pastel de Nata, then Joey Bats is the place to go. During my visit they were selling three varieties; Original, Passion Fruit, and Cinnamon. Being a purist, I stuck to the Original and was quite pleased with the delicate, flaky crust and the delicious custard filling. The coffee was great too. It was a treat to get a Cinnamon stick for the coffee.
Great service with a smile.

I hate writing reviews but when warranted I’ll go out of my way. The Jefa of Joey Batts was awesome and down to earth. Me and my Wife were speaking to her thinking she was there to buy just like we were until she offered us the Chocolate and Passion Fruit to try on the spot.
I HATE PASSION FRUIT but it was AMAZING, the Chocolate as well but nothing is like the Original. Nice flaky crust smooth, sweet and heavenly taste. It was ao good we bought frozen ones for home and those are just as great too. The Cashier was very nice and accommodating.
I have a sweet tooth but never had q Portuguese pastry until Joey Batts and I don’t like much of anything very picky but take it from me if your in LES and on the fence about trying it, jump over that fence and grab yourself 4! (Two original, one chocolate and one passion fruit) and wash it down with a nice cup of coffee, latte or tea. Can’t wait to go back thanx good ppl at Joey Batts! (Late night snack air fryer)
