Deliciously simple yet endless in their varieties, bread and pastries are often taken for granted. From the preparation of the ingredients, to the fine-tuned baking process, preparing fresh bakes is nothing short of an artform. Here are 4 new hidden-gem bakeries that you should add to your list when you’re on the hunt for some sweet new treats!
Bread & Butter Bakery & Café –
With humble beginnings of a small baking hobby at home, Bread & Butter Bakery & Café’s immense popularity has resulted in their new outlet at the foot of Oxley Tower. Decorated in pretty pastel pink and filled with the sweet smell of freshly baked buns and rolls, simply entering their store is enough to set anyone in a good mood!
Their offerings include homemade Matcha Milk Brownies, Gula Melaka Walnut loaves (from $4), Lemon & Pistachio loaves (from $4), and more. If there’s one thing you have to try however, definitely keep an eye out for their Signature Cinnamon Sticky Buns ($3.80)!

La Levain Bakery and Café –
Hidden amidst the hardware stores and boutique hotels that fill the Jalan Besar area, La Levain offers a quiet afternoon with locally-inspired bakes. The artisanal creations here are fusion of Chef Wythe’s personal experiences with bakeries in large local chains, as well as his love for French classics.
Planning a visit for the weekend? They feature a vast menu of dishes from classic brunch sets to fresh pizzas! If you’re looking for something a little more special however, be sure to try their Speculoos Muffin with Callebut Caramel ($3) as well as their Bo Bo Cha Cha Croissant ($7).

Sometimes we just crave the classics, and this is what Baker’s Well does best! Our personal favourites include their muffins, which are available in a wide range of flavours from Blueberry to Apricot ($2.40 each)!
