Best Bakery Spots In Singapore:
artisanal sourdough, Japanese confectionaries, and more
1. Burnt Ends Bakery
Burnt Ends Bakery is more than just a go-to for grilled delights; it’s also one of the must-visit bakery spots in Singapore. Known for its one-of-a-kind wood-fired bread oven — the only one in the country, we hear — the bakery consistently delivers mouthwatering treats that have made it just as popular as its restaurant.
Alongside their famous wood-fired bread, their doughnuts, featuring fun flavours like Iranian pistachio, lemon meringue, vanilla cream, and Milo Dinosaur, have quickly become a hit among pastry lovers.
But that’s not all. Led by skilled baker Loh Weisong, who honed his craft at Burnt Ends Kitchen (ranked 68th on The World's 50 Best Restaurants list this year), the bakery also offers a variety of delicious tarts, buttery croissants, and cookies that leave people wanting more. While reservations at the restaurant are infamously hard to come by, you can still indulge in Burnt Ends Bakery’s exceptional treats, proving that their baked goods are just as impressive as their grilled delights.
