  • More than just bakery: You can find there a café as well. It is a great place to grab full English and French breakfast.

Highlights

  • Croissants taste as good as in Paris: Buttery and flaky crusts, light to airy insides, and morning-like freshness, croissants by this bake shop are at par with the ones served in Paris. The flour itself is imported from France, so the bread is well-baked overall. Sample the plain and almond croissants as they win the hearts of the many here.
  • Kouign-amann for those who miss it… always: Probably, your Euro tour had introduced you to this Breton cake. And back in Singapore, you’re having a withdrawal. Drop by at Tiong Bahru Bakery to fix this craving and experience this puffy and sweet pastry once more.
  • Common Man coffee to complement the pastries: Breakfast is not complete without a cuppa of your favourite coffee. The beans are from the Common Man, a group of artisanal coffee brewers from Australia and Singapore. Flat whites and espresso are commonly paired with baguettes and croissants.
  • Interesting sandwich section: A unique addition to the traditional French pastries and sweets are those open faced sandwiches. There are rocket, squid ink, smoked salmon, among many other favourites. The size is good enough for one person, but freshness of the bun and delectable ingredients might leave you wanting for more.

Highlights

  • Bagels – Simply the best in its league. The bagels here are quite softer than usual so it won’t give anyone a hard time chewing it into pieces just like how bakers do it in New York. Like the classic pretzels, the dough has some saltiness to it contrasting the sweet additions that may come with it. The bagels come in different flavours depending on the chef’s menu special.
  • Salmon Quiche for the meat lovers: Brunch can’t just pass by without meat whether it’s red or lean. Baker & Cook’s has got one of the best salmon quiches in the country that it gives bagels and croissants a tough competition. Served with tomato salad and feta, the salmon quiche has a flaky crush that held the egg filling, salmon, and spices well.
  • Lots of colourful desserts, with lemon tart as a special mention: Eat light so you can still have some space for this tangy and sour dessert. The bakery’s lemon tart is a crowd favourite for its flaky crust, buttery taste, and balanced tanginess. The curd itself is smooth, thick, and fluid, showing how well-baked it is and perfectly done.
