Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Finding a good bakery in Singapore usually starts with a specific craving, a custom birthday cake, a proper croissant, or a halal-certified spot that won't turn away half your guest list. The bakeries on this page have racked up almost 4,900 reviews between them, and the ratings run from 4.3 up to 4.9, a spread wide enough that it actually matters which one you pick. What separates the top of that range from the bottom isn't luck, it's what each shop has chosen to specialize in.

Short answer: Take A Bake (trading as Piece of Cake) tops this list at 4.9 stars across 1,356 reviews, built on custom celebration cakes and halal certification. For a French-style pastry stop, Tiong Bahru Bakery carries the most reviews on this page at 1,574, rated 4.4, known for its handmade croissants. Mother Dough Bakery rates 4.5 on 652 reviews for sourdough-based pastries that tend to sell out early. Expect to pay from around $28.90 for a mini celebration cake at the top-rated shop.

Tiong Bahru Bakery

4.41,574 Google reviews

Tiong Bahru Bakery describes itself as the home of the handmade croissant, running multiple outlets across Singapore including a location at Fort Canning Park. The menu covers classic French viennoiserie alongside newer items like matcha basque cheesecake and rotating seasonal pastries, and the bakery runs a loyalty app for pre-orders and rewards. It's one of the more established names on this list, with outlets across the city rather than a single storefront.

What people praise

  • Croissants called a genuine highlight, with pistachio and lychee-rose variations praised
  • Fort Canning location noted for relaxed seating and pleasant atmosphere
  • Staff described as friendly and helpful even during a busy queue

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer found a specific pastry order underwhelming on taste and texture
  • Wait times can run long at busier locations

Konditori Artisan Bakes & Pastries

4.4612 Google reviews

Konditori Artisan Bakes & Pastries operates out of Bussorah Street as a halal bakery under the Fika Cafe SG name, offering a wide range of croissants, cruffins, and other artisan pastries. The shop is cashless and takeout-only, with a deliberately small footprint that limits how many customers are inside at once. Its halal certification broadens who can shop there in a way not every pastry shop on this list offers.

What people praise

  • Roche croissant and hazelnut cruffin named favorites by multiple reviewers
  • Halal certification called a genuine draw for customers seeking it out
  • Small-shop capacity limit means less crowding while browsing

Worth knowing

  • A couple of reviewers found certain items, like a red velvet croissant, inconsistent
  • Cashless-only payment and prices run on the higher side

Our take: Rated 4.4 on 612 reviews, tied with Konditori's Bussorah Street footprint keeping it more niche than the multi-outlet names on this page, but the halal certification makes it a genuine standout for customers who need it.

Bakery Brera @ Empress Road

4.3705 Google reviews

Bakery Brera at Empress Road is a homegrown Singapore bakery, operating since 2016, known for artisan sourdough, French butter croissants, Danish pastries, and cakes, and it also supplies bread and pastries wholesale to other food and beverage businesses.

  • Wholesale supply to other F&B outlets cited as proof of consistent quality
  • Owner responses to reviews are warm and specific

Worth knowing

  • Prices run a bit higher than some other bakeries nearby

Watch: 5 Best Bakeries in Singapore (2026)

How we score these bakeries

Rating is each bakery’s live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers have actually rated them, weighed against the other bakeries we considered across Singapore. Confidence combines the two, so a strong rating built on over a thousand reviews counts for more than the same score on a few dozen. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a custom cake cost in Singapore? (2026)

Mini celebration cakes start from around $28.90 at Take A Bake, with pricing scaling up based on size, tiers, and design complexity. Sourdough pastries and croissants across the other shops on this list generally run in line with specialty bakery pricing rather than mass-market cafes.

Serving all of Singapore

This list spans Bishan, Tiong Bahru and Fort Canning, Bussorah Street in Kampong Glam, Jalan Kledek, and Empress Road. Whether you’re after a bakery near me in the city center or a specialty custom-cake order delivered island-wide, these cover most of what Singapore has to offer.

What to ask before you order from a bakery in Singapore

  • Is the bakery halal-certified, if that matters for your order?
  • How far in advance do you need a custom cake order?
  • Do you deliver island-wide, or is pickup the only option?
  • Which items sell out fastest, and what time should I arrive?
  • Can you accommodate dietary restrictions like nut-free or dairy-free?
  • Is payment cashless-only at this location?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these bakeries?

We looked at bakeries across Singapore with a real, current Google presence, then ranked them on their live rating, how many customers have reviewed them, and how recently those reviews were left.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026. We recheck ratings and review counts periodically as they change.

Which Singapore bakery has the most reviews?

Tiong Bahru Bakery leads with 1,574 reviews at a 4.4 rating, the highest volume on this list.

Which bakery in Singapore is halal-certified?

Take A Bake (Piece of Cake) is MUIS Halal-Certified, and Konditori Artisan Bakes & Pastries also operates as a halal bakery.

Do Singapore bakeries deliver custom cakes?

Yes, Take A Bake offers free island-wide delivery on 1kg celebration cake orders and larger.

The bottom line

For a custom celebration cake with halal certification, Take A Bake’s 4.9 rating and delivery service make it the safe default. If you just want a proper croissant on the way to work, Tiong Bahru Bakery’s outlets across the city are the easiest to reach, just get there before the good stuff sells out.
