The best bakeries in Singapore range from Tiong Bahru Bakery and Bakery Brera for croissants to heritage names such as Tong Heng for egg tarts, Chin Mee Chin for kaya toast and Loong Fatt for tau sar piah. This guide covers 20 everyday bakeries, from old-school confectioneries, Hong Kong bolo buns and Teochew pastry shops to neighbourhood cake shops and well-known chains like Bengawan Solo and Plain Vanilla. Prices run from around $1.20 for a traditional pastry to around $4-$7 for a croissant or danish, with clusters in Chinatown, Tiong Bahru, Tanjong Pagar and Kampong Glam. Old-school bakeries often sell out or close by mid-afternoon, so go in the morning and check hours before travelling.

Your questions answered
What are the best bakeries in Singapore?
Popular picks include Tiong Bahru Bakery (kouign amann), Bakery Brera on Empress Road (croissants), Park Backerei in Tanjong Pagar (pretzels) and Champion Bolo Bun (Hong Kong bolo buns). For heritage bakes, Tong Heng (egg tarts, since 1935), Poh Guan Cake House (Chinese pastries), Chin Mee Chin (kaya toast) and Loong Fatt (tau sar piah, since 1948) are long-running names. For sourdough and viennoiserie specialists, see our artisan bakeries guide.
How much do bakery items cost in Singapore?
Traditional pastries such as bei tei soh and tau sar piah start from around $1.20-$1.60, egg tarts from around $2.50 (Tong Heng's mixed boxes), and croissants at bakery-cafes from around $4.20. Filled danishes, bolo buns and specialty pastries run from around $5-$7. Prices change, so treat these as indicative.
Are there halal bakeries in Singapore?
Konditori Artisan Bakes in Kampong Glam is Muslim-owned, while Keong Saik Bakery and DOME Bakery state they use no pork and no lard, which is not the same as halal certification. For MUIS-certified options, see our halal bakeries guide and check the MUIS halal directory before visiting.
What time do bakeries in Singapore open?
Many open early: Tiong Bahru Bakery, Plain Vanilla, The Bakehaus and Bakery Brera open at 7:30am (Tiong Bahru Bakery at 8am on weekends), and Bread & Butter By XY at 7am on weekdays. Several heritage bakeries close by mid-afternoon, such as Loong Fatt (until 4pm, closed Sundays) and Chin Mee Chin (until 4pm). Check hours before going, as many close one day a week.
Which area of Singapore has the most bakeries?
Chinatown has the densest cluster of traditional bakeries, including Tong Heng, Tai Chong Kok, Poh Guan Cake House and DOME Bakery. Tiong Bahru (Tiong Bahru Bakery, Plain Vanilla), Tanjong Pagar and Telok Ayer (Park Backerei, Champion Bolo Bun, The Fat Kid Bakery, Bread & Butter By XY) and Kampong Glam (Konditori) are other hotspots.
Do I need to pre-order from Singapore bakeries?
Walk-ins are fine at most bakeries, but popular items sell out early. Konditori asks for advance notice for whole cakes, Loong Fatt takes online orders for pickup, and bulk tau sar piah or egg tart boxes are best ordered ahead, especially before festive seasons.
