BernaMarch 15, 2018Cozy and cute bakery. Could be the best in town. The neighborhood it is at is very nice and calm in the morning. Ham croissant and mushroom brie croissant was yummy. Coffee is very good too.
Dara FisherMarch 17, 2017There are three locations of this amazing bakery--one at Raffles Place, one on Orchard Road, and one in Tiong Bahru. If you go, you MUST get a green tea croissant, as they are ACTUALLY HEAVEN.
Fiona LimSeptember 6, 2014Curry mushroom & bacon panini is a must try! Value for money. Coffee's acidity is an acquired taste. A good place for brunch nevertheless with plentiful choices of pastries :)
mo pleasureNovember 25, 2017a quaint but crowded french cafe beside tiong bahru bakery. love the coffee (by tiong hoe specialty). quinoa salad $17 was substantial & tasty, service was attentive altho slow due to crowd!
Love these homemade fries. Most restaurants use frozen pre-cut potatoes for their fries; these are fresh, handcut, and fried so it’s crisp outside, fluffy inside. The eggs could use a bit of salt.
TingJune 26, 2018French cafe serving brunch with a French twist. Good bread and French cheese. Love the butter too. Light filled courtyard adds to the airy ambiance. Nice!
- Johnny WangOctober 29, 2018(5/5) A little out of the way compared to the other branches, but this cute little bakery is home to one of the best lemon tarts I've ever tried, and is alone worth coming here for.
Tracy LohDecember 10, 2019the croissant here is simple awesome, crispy layers, fragrant buttery smell and so fluffy inside.. and it's such a busy little cafe too. their coffee is quite nice too. https://t.co/1aw7lb3LD6
Fairuz Zainal AarifDecember 17, 2021Lovely bakery and pastries. But not all are edible for muslim customers. Lemon tart contains pork gelatine and most sandwiches contain pork. One of the best croissant in town.
Amelia IsabellaFebruary 17, 2015Tucked in a cosy neighbourhood and offering some exquisite pastries, this bakery is a must-visit!😊 One drawback is that this outlet isnt very accessible, being a 15mins walk from the nearest MRT.
- Fairuz Zainal AarifSeptember 25, 2022Scrambled eggs truffle paste, 21 aged parmesan is recommended for breakfast/brunch. And don’t forget to try their Pan au chocolat. Great place for a date.
David KelhamFebruary 7, 2019Excellent for French breakfast ideas. Can get very full so need to be prepared to wait for a table, especially at weekends & holidays.
Kris GiebensJanuary 11, 2018Watch out for this place! Great quality food, lovely interior, friendly staff and not too expensive. Buckwheat noodles were great.
EvangelineJanuary 2, 2020My go-to cafe in Tiong Bahru. Love their kouig amman and vibes. Place is always busy so if you are looking for a quiet place, this won’t be it.
More of a feast for the eyes than the tummy or wallet. Anyhow u will find urself coming back for more because they always reinvent their menu. More feasting for the eyes.- Dara FisherSeptember 12, 2016Baked goods are incredibly delicious, but no wifi! Also a little tough to get to from the MRT, so consider going to the other (less charming) location in downtown.
My all-time must-have is the kouign amann. Also try the Savoyard, pumpkin butternut squash soup and open-face sandwiches.
AndyOctober 22, 2014The chocolate kouign amaan was a delicious way to start the weekend. Tad expensive but great vibe and quality!
MASAYOSHI HOSHIKAWAFebruary 8, 2015Good place to take it slow and easy. inside a little bit cold. there are outside tables. Nice atmosphere. To access by bus is better. nearest bus stop is Tiong Bahru Road blk55.
- Alas, an indulgent cuppa flat white. Pardon the lack of vocab, i can only think of "silky" to describe the hot milk in my cuppa. And it doesnt mar the taste of the coffee, at all. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 winner.
Jerrald NgDecember 12, 2018A really crowded place for brunch however you cannot miss this place as it is frequented by Singaporeans. Must order their Croissant and Chocolate Danish.
Amanda WongJune 12, 2017Bustling bakery with their famous queen ah mohh and almond croissant! Coffee is decent tho the coffee at raffles city is actually thicker!
kishiDecember 20, 2014Baguette sandwich has decent quality equivalent to the one in French! Coffee is also good. A bit on the bitter side of the flavour which I like :)
Jean YongOctober 19, 2014We tried both popular pastry. Love the flavor but I don't think it's the best? Consider delicious though.
- Besides coffee & croissant, they hv an impressive wine list, including organic wines 🏆
Johan NexApril 28, 2019Nice place in a nice area, the famous homemade croissant is average, aerial with the butter fragrance, but not very tasty and pleasant as top notch croissant. Coffee is good quality but not well made.- More seating @ the back. Go past the toilets & there are more dining spaces to fit another 20-25 people
- I had my first Kouign Amman last week. And also the second and third. 🙈 if there's an eating competition, I'd devour 10 of the apple ones in a single sitting. #Noshame
- LiuNovember 24, 2017Almond croissant is quite nice, bit overpriced though. Can’t say the best in town. Will explore more croissants first.
The chocolate kouign amman is perfect with coffee. The regular one is nice too.
mepi teerakJanuary 3, 2015delicious desserts ^__^ every 10$ spend get 1 stamp, 5 stamps get some coffee or tea or..we will see!
jansen cFebruary 21, 2016The place is known for their croissant but give the other pastries a try, they will surprise you :)
Niko ProSeptember 28, 2014Nice squid ink prosciutto and salmon sandwiches. Nice place for family and good for takeaway :)
- EvangelineMay 23, 2019The place has nice ambience. Coffee was decent. Chocolate cake is rich and has to be eaten with the whipped cream cos it’s way too sweet on its own.
- Mike NhuAugust 27, 2016This shop has some of the best pastries I've ever tasted. Price is ok. Drinks are really delicious and refreshing.
Momo Hui ShanMarch 11, 2014Definitely worth a revisit again and again. Haven't got to try everything here, but the Kouign Amann is superb with a cuppa!☕️👌
Amizyo HairieJuly 26, 2015They have quite the selection of sweet and savoury bakes. The curry burger bun is a good choice if you're up for something filling.
SurakshaSeptember 4, 2018Amazing breakfast pastries - try the mushroom & brie croissant + their pain au chocolate. Top class stuff!- Enjoyed their Croque Marcel. Savoury & substantial. Would order again
Julia LuAugust 8, 2019The croissant sandwich and matcha croissant were so dense and not as good as I thought they’d be. Don’t waste your money on this type of western food in Singapore!
Martina MaitanMay 5, 2013Real freshly squeezed orange juice! Focaccia is super! Also try the chorizo bread...
Javi RejasOctober 15, 2018Everytime I go I end up choosing 1 savoury, 1 sweet, pastries and coffee. All is soooo good!!!
Lolli GoesPopSeptember 12, 2013Tried the lava cake. It's not the warm type with ooshing chocolate sauce. It's thick choco w a crunchy nut base. Nice!
Yarn LamJanuary 21, 2018Highly doubtful about the food when the chef insists that the over-fried fries are "supposed to be like that; it's the skin" when I can taste the bitterness of burnt potatoes.
- Enjoyed some sun being seated at their courtyard at the back of the cafe
Delightful cafe with great sandwiches and pastries. A bit noisy in the mornings. Heads up a loaf of bread costs $11...
Ahmet SahinMay 13, 2021Food is good but their fruit vegetables delivery area is middle of the patio, so it is very annoying! Delivery timing must not be during service hours! Big mistake
Melon LAugust 7, 2018Kouign-aman is huge, enough to share with 1 other person. Croissant is flaky and buttery 😋
Sawit K.December 30, 2018Sunday afternoon super crowded. Stop by for takeaway. Love croissant here 🥐
Squid ink baguettes, strangely delicious. the color might throw u off on the taste n texture, makes me love them more after tasting it :)
