The best artisan bakeries in Singapore include Tiong Bahru Bakery for kouign amann, Bakery Brera and Lean & Rich for laminated viennoiserie, and Marymount Bakehouse and Micro Bakery for naturally-leavened sourdough. Styles range from French bread and German pretzels to Japanese-style shio pan, focaccia and canele specialists. Most croissants and pastries cost from around $4, sourdough loaves from around $9, and shio pan from around $2.50 at Tian Bakehouse. Tiong Bahru, Chinatown and Tanjong Pagar are the main clusters; many small bakeries open only four or five days a week and sell out by early afternoon, so go in the morning.

What makes a bakery 'artisan'?

On this list that includes the naturally-leavened loaves at Marymount and Micro Bakery and the hand-laminated pastries at Bakery Brera and Lean & Rich.
Are there halal artisan bakeries in Singapore?
None of the bakeries on this list state halal certification on the sources checked, so halal status is left blank. See the separate halal bakeries guide, and check the MUIS directory or the certificate on display before ordering.
Which area of Singapore has the most artisan bakeries?
Tiong Bahru (Tiong Bahru Bakery, Micro Bakery, blob), Chinatown (Hues Canele, Tian Bakehouse) and Tanjong Pagar/Duxton (Park Backerei, Anna's Sourdough) are the densest clusters. Further out, Farrer Road (Bakery Brera), Joo Chiat and Katong (Petit Pain, Bread & Hearth) are worth the trip.
What time do artisan bakeries open, and do they sell out?
Most open from 7:30-10am, and small-batch bakes often sell out by early afternoon. Several keep short weeks: Pain Pain opens Thursday to Sunday, Petit Pain Thursday to Sunday 10:30am-2:30pm, and Cloudmills and blob close on two weekdays. Reservations are generally not needed.
