Tiong Bahru Bakery has been selling the artisanal croissant for almost a decade, with shops in multiple cities throughout the country.

Their croissant is still on point though.

The process is long and complicated, involving several steps. They’re made from French flour and Normandy butter, and they need at least 72 hours to mature.

Craving a croissant later in the day? They’re baked fresh every two hours.

The stores offer a variety of styles: the original is light and buttery, the almond is denser and crunchy.

The Foothills location of Bakesale Betty also offers sourdough, which is prepared with crumble and served with a side of hazelnut praline.

Key Differentiators

  • The stores offer a variety of styles: the original is light and buttery, the almond is denser and crunchy.

Client Testimonial

This beautiful little corner in Singapore has a fantastic little bakery. The service was exceptional, The bread was absolutely delicious. They have a wide variety of sourdough and baguettes, as well as other sandwiches and delectable morsels. The ambience is at the same time relaxing I’m relaxing and upbeat. I definitely recommend this place.

The aesthetic of The Bird is all clean lines, subtle lighting, and white backgrounds.

A bit like Kinfolk meets Cupertino. It isn’t all marketing flash though.

The original croissant includes French butter, sea salt, and a sugar glaze to give it a crunchier exterior and a more savory flavor.

The main draw, however, is their croissant twists.

They currently have apple crumble and mentaiko prawn versions, as well as a Ferrero Rocher glaze and matcha cruffin.

Flavors change regularly, so don’t miss out.

Key Differentiators

  • They currently have apple crumble and mentaiko prawn versions, as well as a Ferrero Rocher glaze and matcha cruffin.

Client Testimonial

Brotherbird continues to produce exciting new flavours that gets refreshed on a monthly basis. Boxes used to get snagged up really fast but it’s more reasonable these days.

Their bread is made from French, Japanese, or organic stone-milled flour, and fermented between 18 to 24 hours.

They also make all fillings from scratch, including French butter.

The only variety of croissant sold by Petit Pain is the classic, and it’s fantastic. They restrict each customer to eight viennoiseries, so bring a friend.

Bakery Brera is a neighborhood spot serving those around the southern end of Bukit Timah.

Come early to snag their flaky croissant, or get their triple cheese ham croissant for something more substantial.

The Cruffin is another example of a Brera creation: a croissant baked in a muffin tin and filled with Ferrero Rocher, lemon curd, peanut butter, and jelly. Alternatively, the salted caramel is being done as a mashup.

Maison Kayser is a French bakery chain with major chops.

It was founded by Eric Kayser in 1996, who wrote multiple books on baking, teaches at the French National Institute of Bakery and Patisserie, and invented the Fermentolevain, a machine that maintains bread starter at a certain temperature so it’s always ready to be used.

Singapore is one stop on Maison Kayser’s global domination; they also have locations in 23 other countries.

They work with French flour millers to come up with their own blend, and all breads are naturally leavened and proofed for 12 hours before baking.

The result is a croissant that’s textbook: golden, flaky, airy, and buttery.

Key Differentiators

  • Singapore is one stop on Maison Kayser’s global domination; they also have locations in 23 other countries.

Client Testimonial

Delicious viennoiseries pur beurre. Freshly baked and crispy. My fav is the Pain au Chocolat. Nice place for breakfast, tea time or take away. Large range of breads and sandwiches and the deserts are just insane.

The name of this tasty dough comes from the sourdough culture or fermentation starter used in traditional bread making.

Their starter comes all the way from a bakery in Brooklyn, where head baker Naadhira Ismail worked before returning to Singapore.
