These 10 Bakeries In S’pore Serve The Best Bread – And They All Deserve A Toast
Bread is incredibly versatile yet somehow underrated. There’s even a word created solely to describe someone who supports the family (with bread probably). BREADWINNER.
As someone who ranks bread as the top carb of choice, I have pretty strong feelings for bread.

They have everything from tarts and cakes to traditional Swedish pastries and of course, bread. If you’re a sucker for a good brioche or croissant, then you should try the ones here.

If you’re wondering, Konditori is Muslim-owned.
Konditori – Artisan European Bakery This Muslim-owned bakery has a selection of both savoury and sweet sourdough toasts. Go for their Nut Butter With Honey And Sea Salt Toast ($3.50). A thick slice of sourdough toast is slathered with almond butter, generously drizzled with honey and finished with a sprinkling of sea salt. If you’re looking for something more savoury, their Egg Salad with Dukkah and Pickled Onions ($5) is a great option. The thick sourdough toast is topped with a heap of egg salad and garnished with pickled onions. I mean, just look at it. The Bakery By Woodlands Sourdough also has bagels and pizzas on their menu if you’re looking for something more substantial. If you’re planning to visit, go early because their bread sells fast. The Bakery By Woodlands Sourdough Asanoya Boulangerie is a Japanese bakery specialising in gourmet bread and pastries. They combine Japanese flavours with traditional European pastries. Their flagship item is the Fruit Rye made with orange peel, rum raisin, walnuts and almonds. Apparently it’s so popular in Karuizawa that it gets sold out the moment it is displayed on the shelves. A popular item in Singapore is the Croissant Block that comes in various flavours. Like this Creme Brûlée Croissant Block, filled with fresh cream and topped with a caramelised sugar crust. Asanoya Boulangerie Singapore is constantly churning out great quality bread with various seasonal flavours. Head down to any of their 3 branches today! Asanoya Boulangerie Baker & Cook is Singapore’s only true artisan bakery and food store chain by Global Baker Dean Brettschneider. You have to try their Bombolini Donuts aka Custard Donuts. You can choose from either the Jam Bombolini or the Vanilla Custard Bombolini. The donut is filled with custard (or jam) and dusted with sugar, yet somehow isn’t too sweet. If you love your donuts as much I do, then this is it. Baker & Cook Carpenter & Cook is an artisan bakery cafe and vintage home store. While they technically don’t serve bread, they do have amazing pastries. Go for their Passionfruit Meringue Tart ($6.80). This beautiful dainty tart is almost too pretty to eat. The passionfruit’s zest cuts through the sweetness of the tart and meringue so it’s not jelak. This is strictly not for sharing because you’ll want to savour every bite. EVERY. BITE. Carpenter & Cook Prices start from $1.60 for the small size, $2.30 for the medium size and $4.20 for the large size. Their best sellers are the Bacon, Tomato & Egg Mayo, Curry Chicken Sausage & Egg, Banana Chocolate, and Mushroom Veggie. Come between 9 – 9.30am and you might just catch a fresh batch out of the oven! Thai Baàng Bakery If you have not tried anything from Tiong Bahru Bakery, have you truly been living? While the cafe serves up a large variety of bread and pastries, baked fresh daily, their bestseller is the Kouign Amann. The name ‘Kouign Amann‘ is derived from the Breton words for cake (kouign) and butter (amann). This pastry is rich yet not saccharine. I usually buy in bulk because why not? (Actually it’s because there’s no Tiong Bahru Bakery near my place) But my point is that the Kouign Amann here is AMAZING. Don’t say ‘never intro’. Tiong Bahru Bakery Keong Saik Bakery is riding the ‘Dirty Bun’ wave pretty hard. Their recent ‘Dirty Bun’ creations include the Matcha Dirty Bread ($4.50) and the Chocolate Dirty Bread ($4). If you’re done with the ‘Dirty Bun’ trend like I am, go for the Keong Saik Bakery signature, the Sor Hei ($3.80). It’s a black and white danish pastry filled with chocolate chips between the layers. Reminds me of the seaweed chicken I used to buy in the school canteen. Best to come early for the Sor Hei because it gets sold out very quickly. Keong Saik Bakery Swee Heng 1989 Bakery is one of my favourites. I’ve had their bread for dinner on countless occasions because why not? They use fresh ingredients and they have unique flavours for their bread. My favourite is the Mrs. Red Bean which is a red bean bun with cream cheese and a polo bun crust. The Rocky Chocolate is also really good. Chocolate bread peppered with walnuts and raisins. It’s very chocolatey and rich. Drink lots of water after because while the bread is really good, it does leave your throat a little dry. Swee Heng 1989 Bakery Tai Cheong Bakery is well known for their HK Egg Tarts. There’s even a Pandan variation. While their HK Egg Tarts hog the spotlight, another must-try is the HK Polo Bun. If you’re a fan of HK cuisine and their pastries, Tai Cheong Bakery is the place to be.

New Hangout Spot, Chip Bee Gardens, Is Where All The Cool Things Are
Situated opposite Holland Village, Chip Bee Gardens is home to a few of our favourite hangouts. Located in a quieter, more peaceful, and relaxing district, Chip Bee Gardens is that perfect hideout for a little bit of me-time as well as a great choice for a laid back catch up session with friends.
You can be sure that the little cafes and ice cream parlours here serve up some really decent fare that will not disappoint.
1. Baker & Cook
At the very top of this list is Baker & Cook. Conceptualised by New Zealander Dean Brettschneider – one of the best bakers on the globe, this spacious and cosy cafe serves up a good selection of bread, pastries, salads and mains.

A bonus for coffee addicts – their lattes are to-die for.

Be sure to try their chocolate Lamingtons. It’s two layers of light and airy sponge cake filled with chocolate cream and covered with a thin layer of desiccated coconut.
Not overbearingly sweet and empowering, the flavours are also simple. Less is more, and we can’t help but reach out for seconds.
Baker & Cook Chip Bee Gardens The wide selection of professionally curated Italian fare they serve will leave you spoilt for choice. Pasta? Checked. Pizza? Checked. Did we mention that most food are homemade as well? That’s surely a bonus. Well, an Italian meal should always end with this one dessert, Tiramisu. This dangerously addictive espresso-infused dessert consists of Italian Savoiardi biscuits soaked in Italian coffee and Marsala, layered with creamy Mascaarpone, and finally topped with shaved Valrhona chocolate. What goodness! Da Paolo Gastronomia Besides their freshly churned ice-cream and oh-so-yummy looking waffles, Sunday Folks has their own array of freshly baked cakes as well! The latest addition to their cake collection is the Bailey’s Cheesecake with Speculoos. Slow-baked and made with both Philadelphia light cream cheese and rich Bailey’s Irish cream, the cake is then topped with a splash of chocolate sauce and Speculoos. These different layers of flavours are undoubtedly a surprise to your palette. Sunday Folks Ice cream in a cone or a cup is forever a classic, and this humble ice-cream parlour does its ice-cream the right way. Ice-cream at The Daily Scoop is made fresh, on a daily basis. Imagine that! Also, extra brownie points to them for creating their goodness with locally-sourced and fresh ingredients. Artificial flavourings are a big no-no to them. We love their Cha Earl Grey. It is basically an Earl Grey sherbet. Imagine having your Earl Grey tea ice cold. That’s totally a big yay for us because that will be extra refreshing on the hot, sunny days. The Daily Scoop We all need a break sometimes from the hustle and bustle of the city. Why not give yourself a break and enjoy a little tea-time over at Chip Bee Gardens?
