The 11 Best Bakeries in Singapore (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 11 picks

The best bakeries in Singapore in 2026 are Tiong Bahru Bakery for croissants, Park Backerei for German pretzels, Konditori in Kampong Glam for Danish pastries, Bread & Butter by XY for cinnamon sticky buns, and The Fat Kid Bakery for bomboloni. For old-school bakes, go to Chin Mee Chin, Dona Manis and Sembawang Confectionery.

Singapore's bakeries split into two worlds: the new wave of sourdough, croissant and pastry specialists, many in shophouses around Tanjong Pagar, Kampong Glam and Tiong Bahru, and the old-school Hainanese and Cantonese bakeries selling cream horns, banana pies and coconut tarts for a dollar or two. Both sell out: the popular pastries go by late morning and many small bakeries close by late afternoon or for a day midweek, so go early and check hours. For bakery cafes in one neighbourhood, see our Tiong Bahru cafes guide.

1. Tiong Bahru Bakery — Tiong Bahru

The bakery that made croissants a Singapore obsession.

$$ Mid-range

Tiong Bahru Bakery started in Tiong Bahru's Art Deco estate and has grown into a chain, but its laminated pastries are still the benchmark: plain and almond croissants, kouign-amann with a caramelised crust, and seasonal flavours, plus sourdough and sandwiches.

The Eng Hoon Street original is the one to visit, though any branch is a safe bet for a breakfast pastry.

Good to know: Buy kouign-amann first thing; they are the first to sell out.
