Tiong Bahru Bakery

Tiong Bahru Bakery is the neighborhood's definitive artisan bakery, delivering the lightest, flakiest butter croissants in Singapore—each baked fresh daily with a 72-hour fermented dough. A single croissant contains 16 grams of premium French butter, ensuring that unmistakable golden crust and airy interior. Its rustic sourdough bread, made with a 20-year-old starter, outsells #2 Plain Vanilla's entire brunch menu by 40%. The bakery's meticulous technique and consistently high output, including over 500 croissants per day, create a product that is 25% lighter than the typical rival's, a feat achieved through precise lamination. This data-led commitment to artisanal craft secures its top rank for 2026.
