Stepping into a bakery and enjoying the aroma of freshly baked bread is one of the simple pleasures of life. Whether you’re looking for sourdough, ciabatta, or buttery croissants, we’ve got a list of artisanal bakeries in Singapore offering the best of artisan bread and Patisserie offering French pastries such as tarts and more.
Sugar Toast
All the way from China, Sugar Toast comes to our shores with their first outlet at Wisma Atria. Proudly showcasing artisanal handmade bread in Singapore, Sugar Toast is offering fourteen varieties of toast and one glorious Cheese Crown.
Sugar Toast is all about unique flavours and Instaworthy whimsical designs. The brand specialises in artisanal breads that are made with only quality ingredients, natural colouring, and without preservatives. The dough is made with high-protein flour specially imported from Japan, a secret ratio of milk to water mix, then enhanced with condensed milk for an unmistakable fragrance, before being individually flavoured. They are painstakingly handmade in a process that takes up to four hours, and characterised by distinctive swirls that are a result of careful braiding of dough, making the breads instantly recognisable.
It’s love at first bite with their Rainbow Cranberry Toast. Also on the menu are Purple Sweet Potato Toast, White Chocolate Matcha Toast, Dragon Fruit Walnut Toast, Salted Cheese Toast and lots more.

Mr Holmes Bakehouse Singapore
This San Francisco-founded bakery that rose to social media fame through a widespread love for their cruffins (croissant muffins), has come to Singapore! Open right in the heart of town, pastry lovers can expect to get “Baked in Singapore” (check out the Instaworthy glowing neon sign at the entrance) with a promise of buttery heaven through signature cruffins, croissants, brioche donuts, and other sweet and savoury bakes.
When baked, the cruffin is a puffed up standing pastry marked with striking layers that are flaky on the outside while remaining gloriously moist on the inside. With a quarterly rotating menu, you will be spoilt for choice at the glass display counter with an opening assortment of indulgent, cream-piped cruffins on display – from Peanut Butter Milkshake that tastes just as decadent as it sounds, to a lady-finger crowned Tiramisu Cream for the coffee and sweet addicts. Offering a fruitier contrast is duo of Lemon Meringue Pie croissant that comes piped with lemon curd and a topping of torched meringue.
Head down to Pacific Plaza to get a taste of Mr Holmes Bakehouse's pastries.
Pâtisserie CLÉ
Founded by local pastry chefs Germaine Li and Joy Chiam to realise their approach to French desserts, you are promised sweet and savoury French classics such as croissants, pain au chocolat and apple mille-feuille at Pâtisserie CLÉ as well as tarts, entremets, and a selection of viennoiseries.
Also on offer are unique creations - the Lucky Clover, a fortuitous twist on puff pastry swirls with generous sprinkles of fragrant spring onion, garlic and bacon; the Truffle Ziggy, a savoury bite filled with truffle cream, wild mushrooms, arugula, cherry tomatoes and feta cheese; and the highly-popular Orh Blanc Tart, a curious fusion of the French Mont Blanc dessert and orh nee.
The Gentleman, a seductive whiskey-soaked chocolate sponge cake with cashew nut brittle, chocolate mousse and a rich coat of dark chocolate and whiskey ganache, steals the spotlight for us.

enjoué - the artisan boulangerie & cafe
enjoue is an artisan bakery in Singapore offering freshly baked bread and pastries with islandwide delivery.
Looking for the perfect sourdough to make avo and toast or eggs benedict at home? The bread at enjoue bakery are made without the use of yeast but instead a sourdough starter. So, you’ll find authentic rustic bread such as the Pain au Levain (plain sourdough) which is made using unbleached whole wheat European flours, levain (sourdough starter), sea salt, and is fermented over a longer period so as to create a chewy crumb and a sturdy crust.
Their pastries are lovingly hand-rolled and made only using premium French butter. Starting from scratch, the process takes up to three days to mix the dough and lock in the butter. Using a special dough to butter ratio gives their pastries a nice butter-rich aroma, unique flavour and flaky texture.
Try their good ‘ol Butter Croissant and you’ll know what we are talking about. Filled with delicious goodness, all prepared in-house using their own recipes, choose from classics such as the Granny Smith Danish or pastries inspired by local flavours such as the Gula Melaka Scroll.
